Craig (@Rochdale_Cowboy) reported from Maidenhead, EnglandTook 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.
-
Dave Crocker (@davedec60) reported from Reading, EnglandSo @virginmedia once more we have an outage, how many times now in the last 3 months? NOT GOOD ENOUGH!! Currently looking at switching supplier
-

Is technical support think we are so stupid. Get a grip @virginmedia next stop complaints
-
Deborah Jessup (@Debbiejojessup) reported from Woodley, EnglandTrying to cancel our Virgin Broadband what a nightmare. On hold for 90 mins still no one answers from the cancellation department. #virginmedia @virginmedia
-
CM40 (@CM40UK) reported from Blackwater, England@MoneySavingExp How about they just deliver consistent service? I am leaving Virginmedia and they are making it hard, there rules state if I don’t get the speeds promised they I can leave without penalties, I’ve had 7 times where I have connection in the last 3 days! @virginmedia @richardbranson

Razvan Neacsu (@RNeacsu) reported from Didcot, England@virginmedia And yes I called to your outage number, apparently there is no known issue in the area. Even though last night at 11.30pm in the app the status check showed every service is down, even though they weren't down last night. This happens only during working hours.

⚒ JOHN TURNER ⚒ (@barrowboy78) reported from Reading, EnglandAnybody having problems with @virginmedia in the Reading area ……..?

𝗟𝗲𝘀𝗹𝗲𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗼𝗻 🏳️🌈 🇺🇦 🍃💚🍃 (@LesleeRBarron) reported from Reading, EnglandJust 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 #virginmedia #ScamAlert
-
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!
-
Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England@Firesnapper999 @virginmedia It’s really frustrating; the third technician was brilliant, replaced everything almost like a new install and it worked great for just over a week. Now the status site says everything is good whilst a call to support says it isn’t. #Grrr
-
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!
-
Bowlesy (@Chateauneuf64) reported from Wokingham, England@virginmedia OK guys, could you ask your team behind the scenes to turn my BB signal up just a tad, you know, enough so it actually works? As your putting your prices up would be great to experience what I'm actually paying for now! Thanks
-
Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England@virginmedia Yep. Wired isn’t working either. I have no broadband, no WiFi, no service. Been like this since Saturday and intermittent since Jan/Feb.
-
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
-
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?

-
Rich Brady (@RichTigheBrady) reportedIt’s been 6 weeks since our internet @virginmedia has stopped working so it’s time to spend several days getting through to explain it doesn’t work, then hearing no one can come round for several days to fix it! Total shambles, 7 outages and 6 visits in 8 months. Always breaks!
-
Howard Martin 💚 (@HJMKent) reported from Kidderminster, England@virginmedia Can you please explain why, when I renewed my package in March you reduced my last invoiced bill to reflect the change & took by DD what you said you would! Now you say you will suspend my service because I underpaid? You took what you wanted!
-
Sean Pearson (@soapyrct) reported@mobily_uk @virginmedia Because they expect lots of folk to either not realise or just pay anyway, its also why they make it so difficult to call. Funny you can join and change everything on line except cancel! Virgin are THE worst company for service.
-
Adz (@MrAdz259) reported@virginmedia Please can someone tell me why I've been sent a regular bill this morning, for a service I am not using, and that has been cancelled.
-
SVJ 🦦 (@EssVeeJay) reported@virginmedia It was finally fixed at 4pm today after 6 days . I will be seeking appropriate compensation for lack of service, out of locked expenses incurred and my time being wasted having to chase your engineers and customer services
-
Martinayres65@outloo (@Martinayres65o1) reported@virginmedia when are you going to fix our broadband. We have been without broadband for 6 days now. My partner offers online psychotherapy support for people with blood cancers and has had to cancel appointments because of this.
-

-
KP (@Sep8001) reported@virginmedia Hi Thank you for replying. Yes I do run that check and it does tell me there is a problem, but why have we had so many in the last few weeks. Before that service was fine.
-
Susan Chew (@SusanChew5) reported@virginmedia I may have solved the issue with DMs
-
Declan Carty (@declancarty) reported@skytv @SkyHelpIreland @ITV Might it be possible soon to get all the ITV channels as normal on the Sky box in 🇮🇪 ? After all you can get them on other boxes, like Virgin Media. If it is a rights issue, can it not be sorted ??
