  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • woodyturts Alex Turton (@woodyturts) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia hey, it’s been slow going on broadband in GU14 since Tuesday.

  • 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?

  • gareth5274 gareth moore (@gareth5274) reported from Maidenhead, England

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

  • ce141974 Caryn Sinclair (@ce141974) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia your customer service is beyond bad!! When making a complaint because I have no internet your representative desires to shout over me! I’ve been waiting 3 days!! Shocking!!!

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

    @monstroso @virginmedia A problem we all have.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • gregemmerson_ Greg Emmerson (@gregemmerson_) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia Completed the tests with the app, one room poor coverage

  • 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.

  • 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 😞

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

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

  • 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 !

  • 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 😣

  • a3racer Chris C (@a3racer) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia is there a fix time for the Virgin TV issue in the GU21 area? It’s been down now for over 24 hours! Will my account be credited with money that I have paid for no service?

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • ashburtongrovec Chris (@ashburtongrovec) reported

    @virginmedia It's a hub 3. When we lose connection it either flashes green or the white light flashes. We've only had the hub for a month. I have hard reset the hub previously and it didn't solve the issue

  • Michney Michelle Tierney (@Michney) reported

    @virginmedia They keep canceling because it's an area fault..that happened twice. It isn't the issue. I'm actually so annoyed.

  • PaddockLuke Luke Paddock (@PaddockLuke) reported

    @virginmedia ever since you did maintenance on the line recently I’ve had very intermittent service. The line drops out and comes back again time after time in quick succession. You say you’ve “upgraded” me to 250Mbps but in actual fact it’s broken. Need it sorting out.

  • Jennife55298300 Jennifer Owen (@Jennife55298300) reported

    Come on Virgin media. Sort yourselves out. All day with internet at a snails pace. You’re quick to take our money. Going to cancel our contract and sign up with SKY

  • ElasticDiplomat Elastic Diplomat (@ElasticDiplomat) reported

    @virginmedia … after a week of no internet, hopeless help from people in call centres, the technician fails to arrive during his 4pm-7pm slot ffs

  • applepiecharts Kate Thunnissen (@applepiecharts) reported

    @virginmedia Yes that’s what I said- how can you allow an area outage to go on for so long? We’re on day 10 and still not working. Every engineer in the UK should be on it by now. It’s unacceptable. When will it be fixed? We’re getting no information. Which is even more shocking. Why not?

  • 1970_dave Dave Searle (@1970_dave) reported

    @MrsMankySack @virginmedia Proper **** service

  • Hopperz1980 Mark Hopkins (@Hopperz1980) reported

    @Virgin @virginmedia Why isn’t the “red” button working on Sky Sports yet again!! Two bloody weeks in a row!! I’m logging an official complaint tomorrow, I’m sick of this shite service!!

  • jase2511 JAY (@jase2511) reported

    @virginmedia can you help me with something please

  • JohnGib49909576 John Gibson (@JohnGib49909576) reported

    @virginmedia So who r u and what makes you better from the rest of the sand shifters… no body wants to help they just shift the problem without offering ownership of the problem. Isn’t what ITIL is all about.
