  • GoFastAdy Ady (@GoFastAdy) reported from Fleet, England

    @virginmedia my Internet is down in fleet hants any idea when this will be fixed 🤔

  • mecompton74 Martin Compton (@mecompton74) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia pathetic... entire service cancelled for six days without any notice... for repairs! 🤣 Awful company... @richardbranson you really need to be more careful about who gets to deliver franchised services under your Brand’s name. Truly awful... again!

  • JoshGilpin Josh Gilpin (@JoshGilpin) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia Your advisor would only provide the tracking number that I was already given the other day and told me to use that to find out what’s up with it, they were about as much help as yodels customer support

  • mecompton74 Martin Compton (@mecompton74) reported from Maidenhead, England

    Can not wait until June 10th and we get to ditch @virginmedia - another issue with our service, but their service status page on their website is down so I have no idea what the problem is... #pitiful

  • Jimbwlah James Milward (@Jimbwlah) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia I don’t understand how you can get away with 10%+ yearly bill increase with no service improvement. I’ve been with you for 15 years and enough is enough, I’m switching. No other company does this - I’m speaking to the communication ombudsman, it needs investigation

  • sarahgtaylor sarahgtaylor (@sarahgtaylor) reported from Hurley, England

    Virgin mobile customer service is laughable. Can only use online chat if you want to buy something. #virgin #virginmedia #customerserviceorcustomercontol

  • pepetideo Pepetideo (@pepetideo) reported from Didcot, England

    After waiting for over 1 hour to talk to a human on @virginmedia, can't help but feel like I was being trolled by the choice of background songs. One says "I could get used to this", other about being down down down... Somehow I don't think this is the best choice of mood music.

  • EJVMcLean Ed Vokes-Mclean (@EJVMcLean) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia is on demand and catch up showing faults as mine is not working again been playing up for two weeks now Gu14 9 area

  • BeckyMorrish13 Becky Morrish (@BeckyMorrish13) reported from Camberley, England

    Urgh @virginmedia are naff completely incomatant staff giving completely the wrong information and now won’t let me cancel awful service I’m now looking to @skyuk to give me a better service

  • OutdoorDaveGB David Bruton (@OutdoorDaveGB) reported from Reading, England

    @AnnaCorderoy @virginmedia In my case it took about 2 months to get a reliable service restored.

  • MatthewPorter89 Matthew Porter (@MatthewPorter89) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia Please contact @CameronHeald as he is the sufferer of this poor poor service.

  • martinrowan Martin Rowan (@martinrowan) reported from Wokingham, England

    @dowenb @highlight If you’re using Virgin Media cable then this isn’t the same technology as the rate adaptive technology used in ADSL and VDSL, so you don’t have a sync speed to monitor. One issue you can have with Cable can be an increase in latency especially under load.

  • JulianHull Julian Hull (@JulianHull) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for replying TG, it’s back up now, however I do have a registered complaint about being charged £7.50 every month to upgraded to unlimited data on my broadband that has unlimited data.

  • GoFastAdy Ady (@GoFastAdy) reported from Fleet, England

    @virginmedia not even a reply = customer support 🙄

  • BRYCECHOBE Chobe Clarke (@BRYCECHOBE) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia no internet in Woking, always poor connection when I visit. 5g disappears, slow 2g. Now nothing. Father wasting money for this service.

  • MatthewPorter89 Matthew Porter (@MatthewPorter89) reported from Bracknell, England

    Ridiculous, poor service @virginmedia

  • aamer74 aamer habib (@aamer74) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia my WiFi which is supposed to be the fastest speed is down every day now since four days and comes on in the morning the next day this is unacceptable service

  • slough_womble Russell Earl (@slough_womble) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia was on phone for over 2hrs yesterday sorting out why disconnected...now waiting on phone again already 30mins still no answer to find why still no internet... absolute awful customer service

  • chrisscoff Chris Scoffield (@chrisscoff) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia service is appalling. Engineer arranged last Friday for today. Didn’t turn up. Now told it had been cancelled and we were informed. Lies Lies Lies. Broadband is almost unusabale. Can’t wait for contract to end so we can get sky.

  • pmerryfellow Paul Merryfellow (@pmerryfellow) reported

    Worst Broadband customer service I've encountered, well done @virginmedia!

  • Molevintage Molly Slocombe (@Molevintage) reported

    @virginmedia I logged on to our account and ran checks. Said we needed to book an engineer, which I've done. I'm working from home though and the earliest I could get was weds which isn't really quick enough to help me continue to work properly... 😔

  • mcginty74 ginnette mcpake (@mcginty74) reported

    @virginmedia Is there a problem with the email service I cant access my email

  • CollinsCAA CollinsCAA (@CollinsCAA) reported

    @virginmedia internet is down for the 3rd time this year! It’s been down since 11:00am.

  • KAIZURE_ KAIZURE 🏳️‍🌈 (@KAIZURE_) reported

    @virginmedia This is really shoddy service now. Have not had a stable fast service since we switched to you at the start of lockdown. Constant down time, poor customer service, no acknowledgement of issues. What are we paying for here?

  • a_jac Adrian Jackson 🌈 (@a_jac) reported

    @virginmedia your customer service is appalling. 20+ years as a customer, 2 months waiting for an issue to be resolved with endless hours on the phone and today I’m told you have no record of my issue. Absolutely fuming 😡😡

  • Monica89 Monica (@Monica89) reported

    @virginmedia Nothing is coming up on the service page however we’ve had no internet all morning and someone else in my area is having problems with their virgin media too

  • sushkings SUSH (@sushkings) reported

    @virginmedia your customer services are appalling! I’m a busy key NHS doctor - answer your phone or have the courtesy to get in touch - no answer after weeks of complaining about WiFi ! No way to treat your customers

  • pmerryfellow Paul Merryfellow (@pmerryfellow) reported

    @virginmedia why do I get punished by the rate of £10+/month for being a loyal customer? New customers can get a better deal. Your Retentions rep just admitted you punish loyalty. Could you please explain why you have ?
