  • 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.

  • 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

  • JulianHull Julian Hull (@JulianHull) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia having problems with internet in GU14. Will this be resolved soon

  • 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?

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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 😞

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

    Hey @virginmedia I forgot how awful you were when it came to anything other than collecting my direct debit. Apparently you don’t have a complaints dept, genius, and after 4 calls to you today totally around three hours, you cut two of them off during the musical interlude!

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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 !

  • 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?

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

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

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • MihneaTotu Mihnea Malin Totu (@MihneaTotu) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve used the app however even after detecting poor signal and resetting the router, it says signal is strong but the results shown in app do not compare to real life use. Signal still drops and is very common for content to not load, resulting in mobile data mostly used at home

  • binnyfox Binnyfox (@binnyfox) reported

    @virginmedia Nope…. No fix time

  • vikkgill Vikk Gill (@vikkgill) reported

    @virginmedia Well, one of the customer service assistant, managed to sort out the issues but iam still waiting for an email to confirm, it’s been three days !!

  • neil_twigger Neil Twigger (@neil_twigger) reported

    @virginmedia It looks like my problem is intermittent. It was the same yesterday, I'd turn off it would restart and work for half hour then stop again! It's working now for now!

  • jodyarmstrong Jody Armstrong (@jodyarmstrong) reported

    @virginmedia no internet in PE29 Huntingdon area for me, any known issues? Nothing seems wrong on my end but no service issues on your website, been down since at least 08:00.

  • TomMurfitt1 Tom Murfitt (@TomMurfitt1) reported

    @virginmedia I have been through all your checks over the phone. Noone can give an answer and want to charge me £35 for a new router that ‘MIGHT’ solve the problem! Premium prices, subpar equipment and service for a 8 year loyal customer

  • JacquiHollins Jacqui H (@JacquiHollins) reported

    @virginmedia Pt1. No there’s no outage, I’m being told the wires to my house are faulty. I don’t believe that at all. She wouldn’t let me speak, it was like listening to a robot and talked all over me. They won’t send a technician until next Saturday.

  • defsdoor Andrew Porter (@defsdoor) reported

    @virginmedia I havent included my ip address - I've included a subnet - I'm no more or less vulnerable than any other time. What about the problem ?

  • TomMurfitt1 Tom Murfitt (@TomMurfitt1) reported

    @virginmedia poor customer service hung up on! Then trying me charge for new router! Premium prices for sub-par service! @richardbranson
