  • 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?

  • mkn1ght Ultra Mugnus (@mkn1ght) reported from Reading, England

    @monstroso @virginmedia A problem we all have.

  • PhilipFurlong2 Philip Furlong (@PhilipFurlong2) reported from Wokingham, 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.

  • 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.

  • DoughnutDoney Doughnut Doney (@DoughnutDoney) reported from Benson, England

    @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 😞

  • gonnella Pete (@gonnella) reported from Woodley, England

    @mattlintott @NetXL_dot_com Nice 👍🏻 got gig1 from @virginmedia but the upload is awful only 50mbit. Hope it gets increased to at least 100mbit soon.

  • AlisonJaneWilso Alison Jane Wilson (@AlisonJaneWilso) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia truly awful company stuck in the dark ages why would you trust them with broadband when after 3 months notice to quit they take full payment and then you have to apply for a refund !!! Company run by dinosaurs looking for opportunities to rip you off when leaving !

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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?

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

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

  • AndyBarr79 Andy Barr 🇬🇧🇪🇺 (@AndyBarr79) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia Hi see first tweet in chain, I have been waiting on CS whom I called and raised a call back complaint request with before I tweeted my frustration

  • 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 😣

  • AndyBarr79 Andy Barr 🇬🇧🇪🇺 (@AndyBarr79) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia I can't sign in as I no longer hold an account, your CS don't care and obviously fobbing me off and not raising complaints as requested, I will just pursue via FCA and/or trading standards.

  • 6thDr 6thdr (@6thDr) reported from Wokingham, England

    Today I finally changed my phone. Goodbye #virginmedia #virginmobile never again shall I have such awful customer service service.

  • brownmamba1994 nature boy (@brownmamba1994) reported

    @virginmedia your customer service is actually the Shittest in the world

  • GabeFearon1 goaway (@GabeFearon1) reported

    @virginmedia It seems like an isolated incident with our household and nothing we can do here on our end, as I say weve recently just signed up for this package and I desperately need Wi-Fi for my work. (2/2)

  • GabeFearon1 goaway (@GabeFearon1) reported

    @virginmedia Yes I followed the numpad prompts that take me to data faults where an automated messages says that they are experiencing power outages, however every time I have checked to see if there are any issues with broadband in my area it's all green and no issues reported (1/2)

  • PeterAdamHall Peter Meritt-Hall (@PeterAdamHall) reported

    @virginmedia Call back was to explain what happened and what would happen next with regards to getting my connection activated. As I said, your consultant said I would have service from the 7th so for that to change without correspondence to the 22nd isn’t acceptable. How can I WFH full time?

  • joannasusskind Joanna Susskind (@joannasusskind) reported

    @shebressie @virginmedia Thanks for the link. It is making working from home near impossible. I broadcast for 2 hours, once a week, and every time the connection drops, mid presentation. Eish. Come on Virgin, help us oot!

  • scottbcomedyuk Scott Bennett (@scottbcomedyuk) reported

    @virginmedia You're sending me a new SIM but you've disconnected my old SIM leaving me with no phone and no service.

  • AnitaCassidy76 Anita Cassidy (she/her) (@AnitaCassidy76) reported

    @virginmedia Unfortunately the service has been terrible for a week. Work due here on the 12th I think but it's REALLY bad atm

  • wapshott33 Laura Walsh (@wapshott33) reported

    @virginmedia there is a WiFi outage in my road not showing on your service status. Can’t get help online as telling me to reboot but I don’t think that will fix an area outage in Kt12, please advise?

  • scottbcomedyuk Scott Bennett (@scottbcomedyuk) reported

    @virginmedia I've been told this is a 5G ready SIM that's been sent, my phone isn't 5G, will this be another issue I have to deal with when it arrives or is it compatible?

  • joannasusskind Joanna Susskind (@joannasusskind) reported

    @virginmedia We have done the factory reset which helped in the short term, but issues now resumed...
