    @GBRChris_A @virginmedia Not good! Unfortunately my experience of their Customer Service/Technical support when required a couple of years ago was frankly lamentable. Lots of promises absolutely zero action/solutions

  • nigel_dawson Nigel (@nigel_dawson) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia just switched to you guys this week to get away from poor broadband! What a joke this is, now paying more and I have no service at all. Cheers 😡

  • terrygparrott TGP (@terrygparrott) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia Broadband in GU14 is up and down like a "****** draws". I pay for 350 Mbps but am getting much less than that. I've rebooted and reset my Hub 3, please sort it out!

  • philip_e_davies Philip E Davies (@philip_e_davies) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia Came back on late Sunday afternoon - obvs pleased its back on but shouldn’t really have taken 46 hours to fix

  • philip_e_davies Philip E Davies (@philip_e_davies) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia A fuse had tripped out on Friday - literally took engineer a few seconds to fix it

  • bmm1979 Becky (@bmm1979) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia hi, I’m trying to contact you regarding a mobile phone contract I wish to cancel, but can’t get through by phone and the chat function won’t pick up my problem

  • philip_e_davies Philip E Davies (@philip_e_davies) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia I texted that number yesterday at 1840 and never got a reply

  • Rochdale_Cowboy Rochdale Cowboy (@Rochdale_Cowboy) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia Perhaps try kerpying your internet service 'up' for 26mins. Currently you're up to 17mins past the hour before it fails. Keep practicing.

  • l_fisher90 Laura Fisher (@l_fisher90) reported

    @virginmedia can you provide further information on why your broadband has been down for nearly 2 days? More than telling me an engineer is looking at it, do you not know the issue, should i be looking for another provider? What is the plan to fix it? G74 area.

  • BlissSemplis BlissSemplis (@BlissSemplis) reported

    @virginmedia Landline down in HA5, no dial-tone, attempts to call the no. give an "invalid number" message. I logged a fault and engineer booked Just had a msg saying the engineer's cancelled, it's an area fault Status check on VM website says no problems. Is there an area fault?

  • davedawes Dave Dawes (@davedawes) reported

    @virginmedia Life is far too short to spend another hour trying to explain to customer service that they are trying to collect equipment that doesn’t exist.

  • chelseaAM26 Chelsea (@chelseaAM26) reported

    @OfficialDinsey @JamesLu7980808 @virginmedia This is defo the way forward! I’m down to £30 a month now for phone, tv and internet

  • l_fisher90 Laura Fisher (@l_fisher90) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, your information hasn't been updated again, this has been well over 24 hours now and past 3pm as you advised, what's happening? Surely you must have a better idea now and estimate? Your status isn't updating which is very worrying! What is actively being done to fix it?

  • CEdvardz The Edvardz (@CEdvardz) reported

    @Liz72591 @virginmedia They are absolutely useless. I’ve moved to BT. Their service is much better.

  • pdonduncan Peter D-D (@pdonduncan) reported

    @virginmedia I have phoned the helpline again but can't get to speak to the Resolution team. They are still in hiding. My complaint has been escalted to Offcom. I find it incredible that VM won't even acknowledge a loss of service for period of 4 months.

  • bennmarkpotter Benn Mark Potter (@bennmarkpotter) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, yes I’ve checked it and it said there was a known issue, just wondering if you know when it’s going to be fixed?

  • LenFPS 🍥 (@LenFPS) reported

    Swear I’m always here atleast once a week going on about Virgin Media being one of the if not the worst internet provider around. Casually on 600mbps download whilst genuinely getting 0.04 upload. Moving out soon, get me off this absolutely ********* of a provider.

  • JohnRelen1 Badmanners (@JohnRelen1) reported

    @virginmedia I keep telling you that there is a problem with the TV box and if you phone virgin it seems like hours before someone decides to or not answer and it costs a fortune to phone your company as I do not have a landline phone handset
