  • inmilla68 Inmita Medina (@inmilla68) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia Yes. We have been without internet in the area since yesterday and sit nice yesterday you are saying you will get it fix in the next 4 hours. Just now, another text that we’ll have to wait till 8 o’clock. This a joke, honestly 😡

  • MaxwellPerris Maxwell Perris (@MaxwellPerris) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia That you don't have enough staff to meet customer demand, apparently you don't have a complaints team and a £20 credit should solve all our problems. We never had this issue when we were with @SkyBroadband

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

    @virginmedia what’s happened to our internet?? I’m in GU14 trying to work from home. The last 2 weeks we’ve either had no internet or very very slow. Ran speed checks, used to be over 100, now it’s mostly around 6-15 and we are paying for 100

  • safdar Safdar Mustafa (@safdar) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia My WIFI is unbearable and affects my day of online meetings. I’ve done the usual troubleshooting and have your app too. Calling your support is useless and I can’t get through to a human. What do I need to do to resolve my issues? Message your CEO?

  • HaiderAlRekabi Haider Al-Rekabi (@HaiderAlRekabi) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia and any chance someone replying to my message via app? I waiting for 50 minutes now. I have broadband down since 18:00 RG2.

  • jonathansnorman Jonathan Norman (@jonathansnorman) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia I had an important online meeting at 7.30 this morning, no internet. Same problem last Thursday. Been and NTL & Virgin customer since forever but it feels like it is time to change

  • dan_brooke Dan Brooke (@dan_brooke) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia had reached a new level of incompetence in terms of customer ‘service’. 2 months since signed up and still not installed with multiple last minute ***** ups... 🙄

  • safdar Safdar Mustafa (@safdar) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia Please can you help me to terminate my contract and service with you since it’s unbearable and unprofessional when I’m having work meetings to constantly get disconnected? It’s impossible to speak to a Virgin support human too so I’m left with no choice. Please help me on this.

  • timmorgan Tim Morgan (@timmorgan) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia what's the best department to get My Virgin Media support? I am a customer and it won't let me register an account using my email address although my bill is sent to the same email.

  • 5aman1_m Munindra Samani (@5aman1_m) reported from Wokingham, England

    Yet again issues with virgin broadband. On the phone for over 25 mins - ridiculous #virginmedia #connectivity

  • BobBeveridge1 Bob Beveridge (@BobBeveridge1) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia Yes I have explained all this before. Is there any point? My recent issue was with the pathetic final letter, now combined with the fact that your system is so poor you know nothing about this. Totally poor customer experience.

  • inmilla68 Inmita Medina (@inmilla68) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia Great! In the middle of a worldwide pandemic and the service is down since this morning in Didcot. With so many people working from home and you let everyone down. I am waiting to finish my contract with you and bye-bye. You won’t see me ever again !!!

  • fleetsaints Steve Jones (@fleetsaints) reported from Fleet, England

    @virginmedia Yes. Turned it off. Unplugged everything & put it all back in and still we get intermittent issues.

  • inmilla68 Inmita Medina (@inmilla68) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia I just want to cancel my contract. You are not a reliable company. You can’t even bother to speak with the customers that pay you.

  • inmilla68 Inmita Medina (@inmilla68) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia You apologize??? Really??? In the middle of a pandemic , I am a key worker and had to work from home today band I have missed all the meetings. I wish I could cancel my contract and had nothing to do with Virgin ever again!

  • halpo Pat Halpin (@halpo) reported from High Wycombe, England

    @virginmedia My issue is my account has been cancelled without 30 days notice as agreed and you agreed that my account would run until the day before the new account was switched on #sortitout

  • fleetsaints Steve Jones (@fleetsaints) reported from Fleet, England

    Changed from sky broadband to @virginmedia seriously didn’t think it could be worse. How wrong I was. Utterly shocking broadband. Lost count of the number of times on the last 48 hours we’ve lost service.

  • safdar Safdar Mustafa (@safdar) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia No I’ve heard nothing back till now I’m afraid and still get issues. Can you help?

  • AmyJ1996 amy james. (@AmyJ1996) reported from Farnborough, England

  • AjaibHussain Ajaib Hussain (@AjaibHussain) reported

    @kqbrain @virginmedia @bt_uk I also noticed a significant drop in VM broadband services recently in Medway . VM can easy text if services are down or being repaired in the area PROCTIVELY but they rather do Sales calls !! Don’t know BT and how good their services are in reality but worth checking.

  • alexwhit3head_ ALEX (@alexwhit3head_) reported

    @virginmedia 2 days down without service this weekend. 2 days down with service last weekend. I don’t accept your apology. 🤡

  • kcorrigan83 Keith Corrigan (@kcorrigan83) reported from Waterford, Munster

    Anyone else's Virgin Media TV down in the Dunmore Road area @VirginMediaIE

  • ASBO_Allstar Neil Currie (@ASBO_Allstar) reported

    Been getting significant packet loss on @virginmedia for the past few days... Service status says everything's fine but I can see I'm not the only one having issues

  • alexwhit3head_ ALEX (@alexwhit3head_) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve spoken to someone today and engineer coming again Tuesday but your just a pathetic company. I’m sure you have clowns working for you, pretty much a circus performance for last month from you idiots. No compensation for down time, nothing. Pathetic!

  • taruntaylor Tarun Taylor (@taruntaylor) reported

    @virginmedia Terrible service. Final installation was supposed to be completed 6/10 but no one turned up. Found out that the external work hadn't been done. New engineer installation booked for the 25th but the pre-installation still hasn't been done! Every day it is delayed!

  • kqbrain Khurram Qayam (@kqbrain) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia It's always the same response. No service impacting issues reported. However, the service is pretty bad. Wondering if @virginmedia network is capable of handling traffic or deliberately doing throttling. @Ofcom

  • samkaj286 Samir (@samkaj286) reported

    @virginmedia Once virgin media knows there is a fault in this area, why do you not proactively notify ALL affected customers by text or email? Why can't virgin media update affected customers with regards to the fault status? Please improve your abysmal customer service!

  • staffdb66 David Robert (@staffdb66) reported

    @ASBO_Allstar @virginmedia turn off router and turn it back on again? .. often works with the Sky one .. (although there is a chance your router is receiving updates etc. slowing down traffic)

  • twility Lilyann (@twility) reported

    @virginmedia Also to add, it takes a few hours before you notice it but then it gets worse and worse. It's like the sound is going too fast or the picture too slow. Not sure which way round and it must be by such a small amount. I've seen others have the issue too on forums, no solution tho
