    @virginmedia I had my phone on me all day and didn’t have any missed call message. I have called numerous times and no progress. I understand you also can’t help me.

    @virginmedia plz stop calling me asking if I want an upgrade. Been a loyal customer for over 15 yrs and its getting annoying now. Yes my phone is due for an upgrade but only when I want it. So plz when you say Im on the 'has been contacted list' stick with that 😞

    Rob McEwan (@robmcewan1966) reported from Finchampstead, England

    @virginmedia Truly astounding. I have spent hours trying to get virgin to actually carry out promises made and we’re still not there. I’ll swear the customer services reps I speak to are under so much pressure to move on to the next call they make it up as they go.

    Marti Jerrard - K74 (@K74Marti) reported from Farnborough, England

    Everyday this week and again today @virginmedia has stopped working… constant resets and in some cases down for 3-4 hrs at a time which is preventing work, training, education & entertainment! Come on #Virgin sort your reliability out pse

  • MikeBiscoe1
    Mike Biscoe (@MikeBiscoe1) reported from Reading, England

    If anyone is interested in how much @virginmedia are overcharging for their dreadful service, I’ve just been offered a price match on cancellation to move to a different supplier. £27.50/month for a service for which they originally increased price to £105/month

    @virginmedia @tandcbroking Either a lot of people are checking the service status on the website or that site also not working. Cheers

    We have issue with #HGVdrivers but why @virginmedia broadband had issues for the last few days in RG6 area. Pretty bad service. @Ofcom

  • kerrynnewman
    Kerryn Newman (@kerrynnewman) reported from High Wycombe, England

    @virginmedia what's going on with my internet. No notification of problems!

  • kqbrain
    Khurram Qayam (@kqbrain) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia It's always the same response. No service impacting issues reported. However, the service is pretty bad. Wondering if @virginmedia network is capable of handling traffic or deliberately doing throttling. @Ofcom

  • mcsherlocks
    Daniel Sherlock (@mcsherlocks) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia Internet down at the moment in Woking also yesterday. Checked with my neighbours also down so is system wide

  • CarolRothy
    Carol Rothwell (@CarolRothy) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia hello. Please could you advise how on earth I get in touch with someone by phone??. I’ve spent 15 mins navigating website to try and get to a person rather than a bot. I need to report an equipment fault which isn’t service specific

  • EmsAlice
    Ems (@EmsAlice) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia We just purchased a film from the media store and it won’t play - just is stuck at 0 minutes 😡 we’ve restarted our box but always have problems like this with catch up especially… not ideal when we’ve paid money to rent a film! Can you help at all?

    @monstroso @virginmedia A problem we all have.

    Just had a call from Jerry at Virginmedia media wanting to help me mend my broadband issues (that I don’t have). After challenging him he told me to find the largest ***** & shove it up my arse!! Charming!! His No. 02038399963 #virginmedia #ScamAlert

  • pmross
    Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia Thanks. Engineer showed up, plugged in a new Hub 3, “fixed” my BB & WiFi and, 3 hours later, it’s still not working. Can I 1) file a complaint and 2) get a guarantee that this will be fixed for once and for all.

  • arintsie
    A Rintsie (@arintsie) reported from Marlow Bottom, England

    @virginmedia You keep cutting me off when I call ! / just email the complaint number to a member of your UK team and ask them to call me, really not that hard

  • Rochdale_Cowboy
    Craig (@Rochdale_Cowboy) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia @elise_john85 So you're whacking up Elsie's cost because you have more customers (who are presumably also paying you) using the service, and you want to use Elsie extra £4.50 / month so you can invest in services that attract even more customers?!? Get in the bin!

  • fayeharland
    faye harland (@fayeharland) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia I’m not sure if they do. Happy to do another web chat to cancel.

    @virginmedia local outage again, is this a common thing with Virgin? It’s happened 3 times since we joined, I can’t work or study, do customers of other providers get this too?

  • outwrite

    iplayer quality so bad watching the match. Like watching through water. Also, why can't I watch with @virginmedia app? Disappointing..

  • AJ01991
    Alex (@AJ01991) reported

    @Simon_Whale @virginmedia They’re dodgy as ****, I had total loss of service for over a month, they kept closing my complaints saying it was resolved after I explicitly said not to. They also kept saying it was fixed when it wasn’t to avoid paying compensation.

  • DaveRogers27
    Dave Rogers (@DaveRogers27) reported

    @Grimmy01942 @Simon_Whale @virginmedia They did this to me, it was the final straw. I sacked them off and got BT fibre broadband, never looked back.

  • _DanJbh
    Dan🥷 (@_DanJbh) reported

    @Simon_Coates @Simon_Whale @virginmedia I think so, seeing as im an telecommunications engineer. Just stating my prices like everyone else never once mentioned your "Starlink"

  • SRIPRAKASH76
    Dr Prakash Nayak (@SRIPRAKASH76) reported

    @virginmedia If you want to buy something VM people will try to sell you something they want to sell. Is this called customer support?

  • AKA_The_RC_One
    Mystery Bird (@AKA_The_RC_One) reported

    @Simon_Whale @virginmedia Don't use Onestream, awful service, kept having mast problems so internet kept failing daily and i couldn't get out of the contract.

    Gardaí are appealing for witnesses after a man and woman in their 70s were killed in a two-car crash in Co Louth. The incident happened on the R173 at The Bush yesterday afternoon after 3pm. Two people in the second car, both in their 30s, were airlifted to hospital with serious injuries. 📺 More on Virgin Media PLAY

    @virginmedia can not believe that a agent wanted to factory reset the router when a customer calls up with an issue he I have a errors on bbc and slow speeds , even though I work for virgin media . Absolute nightmare need to get a engineer out to resolve the issue

  • RevQntmBigfoot
    THE Rev. Quantum Bigfoot ♿️ #FLTG OG Anti-RGB OAP (@RevQntmBigfoot) reported

    @sephiroth17181 @virginmedia Had this for a long time in 2 areas - both had street cab within 25m of property. Would constantly lose connection & engineers left me with a box of up & down attenuators to bring signal levels back into sync.
