    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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

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

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

    Ridiculous, poor service @virginmedia

  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

    I swear I’ve never known anything more useless than @virginmedia

  • AndyGuthrie1
    Andy (@AndyGuthrie1) reported

    @virginmedia Good afternoon, I reset it at least once a month, as the WiFi is always horrendous... Seriously though this surely isn't sufficient coverage for the price I've been paying for over a decade, as a gesture of good will can you provide this extender to long term customers to help?

  • shasel1104
    Sharon Lawrence (@shasel1104) reported

    @virginmedia you are hopeless company. brand new computer and guess what the same problem there, right out of the box don't try and tell me it's my side. My outlook email works just fine, its the rubbish VM side

  • chitst176
    St Chit (@chitst176) reported

    @virginmedia Why do i have to wait another 2 days? This is clearly a major incident that hasn’t been fixed yet. Are you saying no one’s doing anything until my visit on Monday??!! Surely the team that replaced the street box must be working on it? That’s the update I need to hear…

  • garfinkle2010
    Matthew Cawley (@garfinkle2010) reported

    @virginmedia will you please sort out your Customer service love chat. You make them deal with so many concurrent conversations it is a waste of time. Over 25 minutes on chat I hadn't even made it into my account yet.

  • frontieruk
    Pete (@frontieruk) reported

    @virginmedia Yes they did, and no as the attitude is there’s no fault with the service where as I consider the hardware part of the service as I’d it’s not working the service may as well not be there and I should just change providers

  • come_il_mare
    Chara⛴💙Wear a mask!😷Get the jab! 💉 (@come_il_mare) reported

    @virginmedia Thank you, that’s very helpful. Also, is there any actual store left open in South East England or London where I can talk face to face with someone about possible upgrade options etc? I don’t like the chat bot and the sound quality of the phone service is dreadful.

  • Socks8818
    CJ (@Socks8818) reported

    @hoile_isiah @virginmedia Exactly the same problem with me

  • zorbsie
    zorbsie (@zorbsie) reported

    @frontieruk @virginmedia The disconnects are bad, but I think when it reconnects your car hits an invisible wall. 250KPH to 0 in a split second. And skill chain is lost too. I hope they can sort this out before Tuesday. It's only going to get worse with way more people joining in.

  • JezHillam
    Jez Hillam (@JezHillam) reported

    @virginmedia Hands down the single worst customer service I've ever received. Engineer not turned up, put on hold where the line went dead three times. On hold a fourth time and thinking it has happened again. Cancelling all services, if I ever get to speak to the right person.
