  • roballan07 Rob Allan (@roballan07) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia Yes when talking about the quality of customer service I have received from @virginmedia in the past week.

  • kyle2tweet kyle2tweet (@kyle2tweet) reported from Bracknell, England

    @JackSheaFFC @virginmedia I know so if I’m waiting for a call back then OBVIOUSLY I’ve already raised a complaint 🤣 no common sense with this company!

  • perrycoke Kezza 🙃 (@perrycoke) reported from Twyford, England

    @virginmedia twice I’ve been on hold to customer service for 25mins only to get cut off. My broadband & TiVo hasn’t been working since 4pm. I’ve tried restarting the hub many times, checked the connections as well. I work from home & this is not what I need right now.

  • dionne_angus Dionne Angus (@dionne_angus) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia just love paying for services which I'm not getting! Seriously sort it out or I will be going elsewhere. No tv, no internet your service is an absolute joke!

  • perrycoke Kezza 🙃 (@perrycoke) reported from Hurst, England

    @virginmedia I managed to get through to customer services in the end & now have an engineer booked for 2moro between 7am & 12pm. Going to cost me half a days work now.

  • donnataylor7 Donna Webster (@donnataylor7) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia I have resolved it now but I’m tired of having to fight to get a good service. I had to threaten to report it to Watchdog before getting through to someone who could help.

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

    @dgrutsch @virginmedia @SkyMediaUK @virginmedia has lost direction and customer focus IMO. After trying to tell me there was no fault in my area, before agreeing for an engineer to visit and check system (multiple faults) it proposed sending a pack of cables for me to try and fix myself. Err I don’t think so!

  • philip_e_davies Philip E Davies (@philip_e_davies) reported from Wokingham, England

    @sabrakhan @virginmedia Mine used to be fast but got very slow a couple of weeks ago

  • gb20man Grant Baartman (@gb20man) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia Service outage AGAIN, this is now starting to become ridiculous... when will I start getting a reliable service!!!! This is not what I pay for @virginmedia

  • kyle2tweet kyle2tweet (@kyle2tweet) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia looks like I’ll have to cancel my direct debit coming out next month maybe that will get this call back I’ve been promised. Terrible terrible company!

  • danarnie Danny Daly-Arnett (@danarnie) reported from Bracknell, England

    @laaqpr @virginmedia The new one is. “It’s all gone through” Then never receive an email and still paid what you are paying with the “system” saying I never called

  • gb20man Grant Baartman (@gb20man) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia Proposed resolution time is 16h00 - so service has been out since 10h30 and I work from home...

  • mattrobertsCFC Matt Roberts (@mattrobertsCFC) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia Thanks @virginmedia Definitely not broadband on, @amazonprimesport need to sort out their network.

  • StJamesofFleet James Snyder (@StJamesofFleet) reported from Fleet, England

    @virginmedia been on hold for 25 on a second call. The first disconnected. Problems with BB for three days and now the hub doesn’t even power on after an apparent update!

  • gb20man Grant Baartman (@gb20man) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia Really need to consider my options and look at other service providers - ongoing intermittent service for a week now and keep getting fobbed off by you CSA's - I think you may want to consider reviewing your customer services. #badcustomerservice #virginmedia

  • dionne_angus Dionne Angus (@dionne_angus) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia how do I cancel my contract with you. My broadband is constantly going down and for the price I pay your services are not worth it especially as i am on limited money. So I am looking at going to sky thank you

  • danarnie Danny Daly-Arnett (@danarnie) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia I ring and get hung up on after being on hold for 6 minutes. I just want what I was offered on Friday. I am not very happy with the customer service I am receiving at the moment and will just walk away. I have been a customer for 10 years and get no perks just bigger bills

  • donnataylor7 Donna Webster (@donnataylor7) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia I didn’t receive my new contract on April, was not told of 6 month discount price shot up and I had to fight to get my billing date changed. Overall not a good service 😡. Took me over 30 mins on telephone to try and resolve

  • ewenglass Ewen Glass (@ewenglass) reported

    Please, for the love of all that is good and just, sort out your broadband service @virginmedia - it’s been down on and off all day

  • woolenhattwitch woolenhat (@woolenhattwitch) reported

    When you can't even check to see if it's your WiFi that's the problem or the network cos their status checker website is down. I'm assuming it's you, yet again, @virginmedia

  • Mark_Esquire1 Mark.Esquire 🇬🇧 (@Mark_Esquire1) reported

    @virginmedia absolutely wan@ service been down all day.. know wonder Branson filing for bankruptcy

  • JeremySkinner Jeremy Skinner (@JeremySkinner) reported

    @virginmedia Your communication around this issue has been utterly unacceptable

  • UponChest LiverbirdUponMyChest (@UponChest) reported

    @virginmedia @beckitumber This is not unusual though. Virgin drops out every day, every 20/30 minutes for 2 minutes at a time. Today's outage is just a more accomplished circus of lies and incompetence.

  • KatGill1993 katie (@KatGill1993) reported

    @virginmedia When is this going to be fixed? Just went off again, wireless is intermittent….. we don’t pay you high amounts for disruptive service.

  • princess_knicks princess knickers (@princess_knicks) reported

    @virginmedia @o2 without virgin internet I’m relying on o2 4g…which is also grinding to a halt. I know you’re combined now…what the hell is going on, when will it be fixed and how do I get a refund for lack of Virgin and o2 service?

  • MScott1891 MrScott1891 (@MScott1891) reported

    @virginmedia Has made working from home awful today, thank god for mobile hot spots

  • carl_cooking CookingWithCarl (@carl_cooking) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia utterly disgusting service

  • CrankJustified The Lady Earl of F All (she/her) 🏳️‍⚧️ (@CrankJustified) reported

    @HanTheHippy Well my Virginmedia held up most of the day but then had to log back into BT for the last half hour of work and again now... colleagues on Sky saying they've been having issues too.
