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

    @virginmedia It’s now been more than 48 hours and once again our catch up services and virgin media store is down and unavailable ... this time with no known local issue. What am I meant to do?

  • flyingjok John Neilson (@flyingjok) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia Worst part of it @virginmedia is the way your customer service team speaks to customers. Quite appalling and in my experience always approached on basis that the customer is wrong. It consistently bad - to be told you don’t send texts when I clearly had two texts quite insulting!

  • BobBeveridge1 Bob Beveridge (@BobBeveridge1) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia When your expensive fibre broadband crashes in the middle of an online meeting with an MP this is bloody frustrating and unacceptable. Your service is often unreliable in the middle of the day. Can it be fixed or do I need another provider as backup?

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

    @virginmedia We managed to get through to your team on the phone yesterday and they said they will call us back. It started working again yesterday evening but it’s an on and off problem we have had for weeks so needs looking into properly which I hope will happen soon.

  • McFadden1985 James McFadden 🎮 (@McFadden1985) reported from Camberley, England

    My @virginmedia has completely gone down. On a Friday night & good Friday of all days. TV is completely blank 😣

  • TheonlyJonesy Martyn Jones (@TheonlyJonesy) reported from Fleet, England

    @virginmedia don’t worry about supplying a service that I can use to work from home, I’d much rather leave the house in a pandemic to access stable broadband...!!!

  • BagshotTwit Paul Austin (@BagshotTwit) reported from Camberley, England

    @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.

  • paulineayres PaulineAyres-S/W (@paulineayres) reported from Blackwater, England

    @virginmedia Have to wait until Monday until an engineer can come out to fix whatever the problem is, I have never ever had a good connection, made many complaints but this is the worse ever. Intermittence connections causing me to need another @SlimmingWorld consultant to cover my groups 💔

  • ambreenfarooq15 A (@ambreenfarooq15) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia They say it's company policy and as it's with IT they can no longer help! 1 week and no further forward.

  • BagshotTwit Paul Austin (@BagshotTwit) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia I upgraded to the Ultimate Oomph package in Jan but still waiting for the order to be completed. I’ve contacted customer services on numerous times but no success, I’ve also raised a complaint. How do I actually get some help to complete the order?

  • KathyMck1962 Kathy mckenry (@KathyMck1962) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia can you advise how much longer our internet will be down in the Tilehurst Reading area had no internet since 8pm yesterday? ?

  • paulineayres PaulineAyres-S/W (@paulineayres) reported from Blackwater, England

    @virginmedia I have to wait until Monday for an engineer to come and fix whatever the problem is but never ever had a good connection and made many complains

  • DawnFabbricatti Dawn Fabbricatti🇿🇦🇮🇹 (@DawnFabbricatti) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia You LITERALLY cannot be serious right now? Is this how you believe my issue will be solved? And yes, in the last 19 days I have rebooted twice.

  • vikingmarta89 Marta (@vikingmarta89) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia why since Monday is so bad signal in Reading West ? I’m not able to work !

  • gregemmerson_ Greg Emmerson (@gregemmerson_) reported from Reading, England

  • Ace007Mac Lo (@Ace007Mac) reported

    @MartinSLewis Is there anywhere I could get advice about problems with broadband services? I'm with Virgin media & barely stay connected long enough to complain. When I did their response offered no solution other than troubleshoot. Tried calling all numbers, emailing & still getting nowhere

  • olibob1 JoJo pixie (@olibob1) reported

    @virginmedia ASAP would of been in October we are a week away from December ???? And how can i get it resolved if your company keeps lying to me and making my complaint disappear off my account

  • eduk2 ▶️ eduk2 📢 (@eduk2) reported

    @virginmedia I'm sorry but your customer service for complaints it is also a disaster. It is as if nobody read what I write to you and they repeat the same thing over and over again. I think I am talking to a bot for complaints as well.

  • dougkessler Doug Kessler (@dougkessler) reported

    Logging into Twitter on my desktop just to say @virginmedia is the WORST broadband provider on planet Earth. And the support is infuriating. How do these guys stay in business?

  • olibob1 JoJo pixie (@olibob1) reported

    @virginmedia Oh i have seen your code of practice it doesn't cover your lies or obligation to me. Greedy company, why don't you sort my complaint as it seems to keep disappearing from my account?

  • StarWarsFootba1 LFC watchalong 💎 (@StarWarsFootba1) reported

    @virginmedia Green light is flashing, total reboot done twice (powered down completely) same issue

  • MuslimFoodies Explore Halal (@MuslimFoodies) reported

    @virginmedia your password rest process is ****. Why send my password to an email i cant access?? Why is virgin even a mailbox?

  • RMSounds Andrew Incoming (@RMSounds) reported

    @virginmedia It's not been resolved, I have been trying since before the 13th to resolve this issue and was told it would be sorted by 9am yesterday. I should only have one active main email account which is listed in your ticket the apps are saying I'm using a sub account.

  • DK1_DK1 DK (@DK1_DK1) reported

    @virginmedia The service really is a joke. I log a complaint, it asks for my contact preference and I put phone. I then get a text this morning telling me that I have to ring your normal number and sit on hold for who knows how long to discuss options of resolving me complaint. Ludicrous!

  • Jiskilouise Jiski (@Jiskilouise) reported

    @virginmedia my internet isn’t working and I can’t check the status in my area because your website isn’t working. Can you help?
