    Useless service from @virginmedia called 2 discuss package options on hold for ages the agent says he was trying to help them puts me on hold then put the phone down. If their customer service is like that I think I’ll try give someone else a go @skytv can you do better?

    @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 !

  • CarolRothy
    Carol Rothwell (@CarolRothy) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia hello. Please could you advise how on earth I get in touch with someone by phone??. I’ve spent 15 mins navigating website to try and get to a person rather than a bot. I need to report an equipment fault which isn’t service specific

    @virginmedia *sigh*. Been directed to this many times. Had engineers referred many times. This is a persistent issue that raises its ugly head far too frequently

    @virginmedia @LudaLukeUK That webpage isn't working. Presumably because your network is down!

  • McFadden1985

    My @virginmedia has completely gone down. On a Friday night & good Friday of all days. TV is completely blank 😣

    We have issue with #HGVdrivers but why @virginmedia broadband had issues for the last few days in RG6 area. Pretty bad service. @Ofcom

  • fayeharland
    faye harland (@fayeharland) reported from Woolhampton, England

    @virginmedia hi there not sure if you can help. We’ve been trying to contact my Uncle for a few days on his landline and it’s going direct to the message service. We’re getting quite worried about him and wondered if it’s possible to see if there’s a fault on the line?

    @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 😞

    @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

  • inmilla68
    Inmita La **** Peora de Offo (@inmilla68) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia Internet is not working properly in my pc and your virgin app does not work either. It has been like that since last night.

  • Debbiejojessup
    Deborah Jessup (@Debbiejojessup) reported from Woodley, England

    Trying to cancel our Virgin Broadband what a nightmare. On hold for 90 mins still no one answers from the cancellation department. #virginmedia @virginmedia

  • 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!

  • MikeBiscoe1
    Mike Biscoe (@MikeBiscoe1) reported from Reading, England

    @GiganetUK @virginmedia 13:25. Down again…

  • pmross
    Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia Thanks. Engineer showed up, plugged in a new Hub 3, “fixed” my BB & WiFi and, 3 hours later, it’s still not working. Can I 1) file a complaint and 2) get a guarantee that this will be fixed for once and for all.

  • 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.

  • RNeacsu
    Razvan Neacsu (@RNeacsu) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia Internet keeps disconnecting. Called, useless as always. Intermittent issues or connectivity issues. Just send an engineer to check, why wait for another 24h when this is an ongoing issue. I've even reset the hub, still same issues.

  • TheBadgerG
    Thom Gibbons (@TheBadgerG) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia Yes, zero issues in area for broadband, pulled apart and reset the router numerous times. It just keeps wanting to download new settings, works for a bit and then fails. Engineer now booked for next Wednesday which is an eternity running my business from home.

  • IanLewis299
    Ian Lewis (@IanLewis299) reported

    @virginmedia Are your call centre staff incentivised to handle complaints? I've just had someone raise a complaint and resolve it, despite me telling them explicitly I did not want a complaint resolved. Seems sketchy.

  • house_gareth
    Gareth House (@house_gareth) reported

    @virginmedia The brilliant engineer came out and knew what the problem was straight away, the hub hadn't been activated at your end. apparently it has been a common problem the engineers are finding.

  • NSReicher
    Nicholas Reicher (@NSReicher) reported

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia We had the same problem with Verizon. We told them my father in law didn't abandon his service-he died. And we were positive if given a choice, he'd have preferred to continue using their service. Verizon canceled.

  • ColinFenn45
    Colin Fenn (@ColinFenn45) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, poor signal strength is wifi only, if I am streaming on my laptop it becomes unusable, with a msg not enough bandwidth, and will last for about 15mins. The signal strength notification struggles to make any bars, and eventually clears.

  • ctidbluemoon
    Terry Hughes (@ctidbluemoon) reported

    @virginmedia It doesn't work because the Internet gone off and using mobile data just keeps refreshing page

    Youya (@MindOfYouya) reported

    @virginmedia PLEASE! For once fix this nonsense with your internet connection, it has become a weekly norm for this stupidity! I am paying £40+ a month and constantly having to face this nonsense and terrible connection!!!

  • fp2072
    FordPrefect (@fp2072) reported

    @virginmedia Shocking service , told you'd call to discuss offers , no one does, I then get a call from the complaints team that I can't take so they say they'll call back and they don't either

  • Johnmerry85
    John merry (@Johnmerry85) reported

    @virginmedia Intermittent signal in your area is that the reason my Internet has been on and off since 3pm and speed is terrible?

  • Mickelgarth
    Silver age (@Mickelgarth) reported

    @virginmedia we have had poor internet here for at least a month, if not more. Tonight it is dropping out time and again. Your service is becoming very shoddy. How can I claim conpensation?
