    Another day of pathetic experience on @virginmedia broadband service. No broadband service in RG6 area. Regretting my decision to switch. @Ofcom @DowndetectorUK

    @virginmedia Hi again. Just letting you know we’ve made contact with him and all seems fine. So please can we cancel the engineer for Friday.

    @virginmedia Just had a call from Jerry at Virginmedia media wanting to help me mend my broadband issues (that I don’t have). After challenging him he told me to find the largest ***** & shove it up my arse!! Charming!! His No. 02038399963

    @denman79 @virginmedia The irony is that @virginmedia are more like the Pistols -‘No point in asking you’ll get no reply’ and they seem ‘Pretty Vacant’ but ‘Never mind all that…..’ can someone please take some responsibility and ownership that seems to be sadly lacking atm

    Anybody having problems with @virginmedia in the Reading area ……..?

  • 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!

  • PhilStace20
    Phil Stacey (@PhilStace20) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia It’s more about how this can’t be dealt with online and spending a busy day trying to get to talk with someone who actually can help. #Disgraceful #expectedthis

  • Rochdale_Cowboy
    Craig (@Rochdale_Cowboy) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia @elise_john85 So you're whacking up Elsie's cost because you have more customers (who are presumably also paying you) using the service, and you want to use Elsie extra £4.50 / month so you can invest in services that attract even more customers?!? Get in the bin!

  • gareth5274

    @virginmedia any chance of any help, been phoning since Friday and still getting nowhere. Ta.

    @virginmedia I don't know. You never answer the phone when I call you.

    DimiD (@DimiD35089880) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia We have engineer booked for today to see what is the issue as since I upgraded never had such a bad service experience for the last 12 years with @virginmedia

  • 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 😞

  • Tom38971529
    Tom (@Tom38971529) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia Well I would speak to a member of the team but always get the call cut short and I ask for a call back if the line goes dead. Twice yesterday ot happend Nd never got a phone call back

  • DimiD35089880
    DimiD (@DimiD35089880) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia Promised date someone to sort external connections come and gone and still same s*****. Can’t believe 4 weeks and nobody can’t fix it. 🤔I think something is fishy @virginmedia get it sorted

  • nattytude
    Nattytude (@nattytude) reported from Fleet, England

    @virginmedia Internet is down in GU51 since yesterday. When will it be up? Can't report it online, because we have no internet for it to check with!

  • PhilStace20
    Phil Stacey (@PhilStace20) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia It about moving house. As Virgin is unavailable at the new residence and the move is only temporary I was told in two separate calls that I could ‘freeze’ my account and now it’s come to it it seems that I have to keep paying whilst not receiving any service or buy myself out!

  • dano_afc
    Dan O'Sullivan (@dano_afc) reported from Frimley, England

    @virginmedia what is going on with your customer service today????? Completely unreachable either on phone, online chat or your abysmal whatsapp service!!! Talk to your customers!!!!!!!

  • Rochdale_Cowboy
    Craig (@Rochdale_Cowboy) reported from Maidenhead, England

    Took out an @O2 account as part of some 'volt' deal with @virginmedia. My god O2 are bad. Apparently you have to wait a few months to access your account online to wait until their systems "catch up" for new joiners. Shouldn't have bothered.

  • Chateauneuf64
    Bowlesy (@Chateauneuf64) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia Broadband down again, 2nd week in a row. Had one day of service and stupidly canx Engineer due next day and hey presto back down we go again. 1 week wait for engineer, 1 day of BB, and now earliest slot for Engineer +1 week. Buyer beware. Typing whilst 50 mins holding with VM!

    @virginmedia Anyone available to help get me logged in? I have an account but wether on browser or on the app I keep getting the same issue

  • philbreadin
    Phil (@philbreadin) reported

    @virginmedia how come my bill has jumped from £55 to £72 mid contract? I understand it's April and a small price increase is expected but £17 is taking the mick. With the issues I've had lately @skytv is looking more tempting.

  • keithapearson
    Keith A Pearson (@keithapearson) reported

    @virginmedia I've just wasted 55 minutes of my life trying to talk to your 'customer services' dept. Both the staff members I spoke to could barely communicate in English, and the line kept breaking up... until it died altogether. Wasted time, no resolution, and huge frustration. You're supposed to be a COMMUNICATIONS company! What am I expected to do now? Go through that same shambolic exercise again?

  • HenleyDB
    Henley (@HenleyDB) reported

    @GreyBlackstone @virginmedia They're charging me over £105 for only broadband. They're a bunch of greedy jokers. I had an issue and called them, they made things worse. I'm stuck not renewing my contract. If they mess up again, I end up paying even more but on a new contract or accidentally disconnected.

  • Snickerboi95020
    Cam (@Snickerboi95020) reported

    @TheMangoDemon @MrDalekJD I think it’s virgin media fibre connection - 2.5gbps up and down, it’s like £70 tho I think

  • LPorro123
    lindsay (@LPorro123) reported

    @virginmedia help since we received our new control with Atlantic the box link is not working , keep ringing your help desk and either get put on hold , told will ring back or booted off help please thanks

  • OnTheMeter
    OnTheMeter (@OnTheMeter) reported

    @misselledee @virginmedia Despite the content of your message, they answer you like this is the first contact. I’ve been with them from day one because I always seem to get a good deal. But god help you if you need customer services. In my experience, they tie with Vodafone as the worst in the world.

  • ruthmpayne
    Ruth Payne (@ruthmpayne) reported

    @virginmedia the WiFi in Edgbaston / B16 has been down for 48 hours now. Tried finding out what’s happening but call centre was useless. When will this be sorted??? 48 hours is ridiculous

  • nottinghillman
    Nottinghill Man (@nottinghillman) reported

    @virginmedia I think this has been reported now but our WiFi at W2 4TJ went down on Wednesday evening. A call out engineer the next the next morning merely confirmed that the problem is apparently on the street, not in our house as the engineer apparently thought initially. But no repair yet

    @itswesty @virginmedia Virgin are shocking at responding. Mine has been doing it for weeks. DM them tney send a link that doesnt work
