    @virginmedia putting on such excellent service again 😡😡😡😡 broadband been down now for over three hours. You clowns really are useless. Really wish we’d left you when we had the chance 😡😡😡😡😡

  • MartinJerrard Martin Jerrard (@MartinJerrard) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia @Virgin_Victoria @AaronGaben Virgin says no issues in my area but all I am getting is flashing green arrows and no connectivity... full reset and switched off 3 tokes but to no avail.

  • MartinJerrard Martin Jerrard (@MartinJerrard) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia Just done that and again no issues reported. This is the second time this week I have had no connectivity. Just tried a reset and still nothing. How do I get an engineer out as this is becoming tiresome now given the price we pay.

  • spice1971 Graeme Spice (@spice1971) reported from Yateley, England

    @virginmedia Maybe you can pass on the fact 2 calls to two separate call centres (first was India, second Scotland) both dropped mid call. Assuming it wasn’t the operators maybe there is an issue. Didn’t happen to Philpines on third call. Annoying when hold times are long

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

    @virginmedia Sorry to say that I contacted your online chat, but they offered no significant update other than 9th Sept for a fix and no offer of compensation as I am not experiencing a total loss of service. Not happy at all.

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

    @virginmedia trying to watch a film on Netflix only for my tv to keep flashing up wired LAN cable is disconnected then wired network is connected what is going on I pay for virgin and Netflix and getting fed up

  • MartinJerrard Martin Jerrard (@MartinJerrard) reported from Farnborough, England

    @dinger3805 @virginmedia It's become a bit of a joke which is not funny anymore as I have lost 2 days pay now because of this given the price we pay. Appualing service at the moment.

  • RJHOTCHEF Ryan Wilson (@RJHOTCHEF) reported from Fleet, England

    @AlyInASpin @virginmedia Weird we are having the same problem #lag , @virginmedia whats the problem please. Very annoying now

  • mikeyh817 Mike (@mikeyh817) reported from Woodley, England

    Can I just say again @virginmedia is absolute shite. Had no internet for nearly an hour but “their system is down” so they can’t check it. Piss poor from this company

  • melvinabrose millie p RN RHV QN (@melvinabrose) reported from High Wycombe, England

    Virgin media just rubbish. Just so disappointed in a service that for the past 2 months has been rubbish. Worked all over the house and even in the garden for all the time we have been customers but now only working on one side of the house and not upstairs.

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

    Intermittent network service from @virginmedia again, seems I need to use my reliable personal hotspot from @VodafoneUK - at least I have a fallback plan.

  • MartinJerrard Martin Jerrard (@MartinJerrard) reported from Farnborough, England

    Slightest hint of bad weather and here we go again. it's only slightly damp here but already working from home has failed before it's even started. Think its time to switch ISP as this is becoming all to frequent from @virginmedia.. 2 lost days of work/pay this mth already.

  • MartinJerrard Martin Jerrard (@MartinJerrard) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia No as I am about to drive to work when I should be working from home as I do each Friday and Monday except poor service is preventing me doing do. I will make a formal complaint tonight as this is the second time this week.

  • woodsa164 Alex George (@woodsa164) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia The worst Broadband provider 😡 The worst customer service 😡

  • MartinJerrard Martin Jerrard (@MartinJerrard) reported from Farnborough, England

    @Virgin_Victoria @virginmedia Thank you. Virgin Boffin says no issues in area. I have carried out 3 x fully resets and all I am getting is flashing areos and horizontal lines.

  • mathers1981 Stephen Marshall (@mathers1981) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia absolute joke of a service. Try and leave them as they are having your pants down each month and it’s like trying to escape Alcatraz. Awful firm

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

    Broadband service improved, good speed and customer service follow-up. Thank you @virginmedia much improved service.

  • mikeyh817 Mike (@mikeyh817) reported from Woodley, England

    @virginmedia According to your fault page there’s nothing wrong yet when you call they agree there’s a problem. Again poor service from yourselves when your departments can’t agree!!!

  • InflightJames James (@InflightJames) reported from Wokingham, England

  • misshiggins1986 Charlotte Higgins* (@misshiggins1986) reported

    @virginmedia trying to cancel my broadband with you, been on hold for 40 minutes still not through to a human being. Can you provide a link where I can cancel online? I don't want to upgrade/renew contract, purely want to cancel.

  • Trev_Tang31 TT (@Trev_Tang31) reported

    @virginmedia no broadband or Wi-Fi in Reigate/Redhill area for almost 24hrs. States issue to be fixed today at 15:00hrs. Still not working!!!! Customer service number called and next to useless response. So when is the technicians going to fix it???

  • MadammeFiFi Fiona Faulkner (@MadammeFiFi) reported

    @virginmedia who don’t support you when there’s high fuel costs & money is tight. Not asking the world, but a little help!! They also think the pandemic is over!!! Time to change provider me thinks.

  • kbennettdavies Katie Bennett-Davies (@kbennettdavies) reported

    @virginmedia my husband waited for 40 mins on phone to cancel our broadband. He was then told we can only cancel exactly one month before the end of contract to the day so we'd have to phone again in a week. Is there an easier way? Don't want to wait in another 40min queue.

  • claaarkkkeeeeey Dan C (@claaarkkkeeeeey) reported

    @virginmedia just wondering why when I phone up customer service and ask if my account has insurance they confirm it has but when the insurance team look at my “account” nothing shows up. I filed the missing phone 1st of May. Still waiting on an outcome? Thanks!

  • GemmaAbigail Gemma Eldridge (@GemmaAbigail) reported

    @virginmedia I have tried this and they did not help, in fact Nielsh couldn’t care less when I spoke to him! We need an engineer to look at this asap. I work from home and I CANNOT work if my internet doesn’t! I will be looking at new service providers

  • trish_holder Trish Holder (@trish_holder) reported

    @virginmedia please help me! I’ve been trying to speak to someone about leaving and having been on hold for an hour today and an hour Weds eve, I’ve been cut off. I need to talk to someone to sort this, can you help please?

  • RobertSSmith66 Robert Smith (@RobertSSmith66) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia any chance you can get your website to work? Change Package Chat does nothing! Links sent via mail do not work! Hyperlink sent by text doesn’t work! Call centre (working from home in India?) worse than useless! Ever heard of Customer Centric design? #Useless

  • kureachan80 Red (@kureachan80) reported

    @virginmedia Your company has turned off phone service to a 75yo to force her to move early to fibre! Disgusting behaviour! Your staff promised to turn her phone back on today but havent. Staff on phone have no clue, refuse to sort it, promised a call back in 2hrs #waiting
