    @virginmedia And there you have the extent of VM customer care folks!

  • Chateauneuf64 Bowlesy (@Chateauneuf64) reported from Wokingham, England

    Really hard to support brand @virginmedia and recommend them to anyone for Broadband. They may be the only competitor to BT but do you have to compete for last place?

  • Rochdale_Cowboy Craig (@Rochdale_Cowboy) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia @LudaLukeUK That webpage isn't working. Presumably because your network is down!

  • Chateauneuf64 Bowlesy (@Chateauneuf64) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia Broadband down again, 2nd week in a row. Had one day of service and stupidly canx Engineer due next day and hey presto back down we go again. 1 week wait for engineer, 1 day of BB, and now earliest slot for Engineer +1 week. Buyer beware. Typing whilst 50 mins holding with VM!

    @virginmedia all week had total Broadband outages and down again now (past hour). Received a text from VM with link to follow (self help) and guess what, I need Internet to access! Trying to WFH just impossible. Every hour we have issues.

  • davedec60 Dave Crocker (@davedec60) reported from Reading, England

    So @virginmedia once more we have an outage, how many times now in the last 3 months? NOT GOOD ENOUGH!! Currently looking at switching supplier

  • DamienPSmith 𝓓 𝓪 𝓶 𝓲 𝓮 𝓷 (@DamienPSmith) reported from Bracknell, England

  • kerrynnewman Kerryn Newman (@kerrynnewman) reported from High Wycombe, England

  • iszi_lawrence iszi (@iszi_lawrence) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia internet is down in RG30 (router is white but no internet). Checked on mobile I’m not the only one experiencing problems in the area.

  • Flozephine Flo (@Flozephine) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia no broadband in RG12 for over an hour - can’t report on your service status page as it appears down? Any update gratefully received 🙏🏻

  • fayeharland faye harland (@fayeharland) reported from Woolhampton, England

    @virginmedia hi there not sure if you can help. We’ve been trying to contact my Uncle for a few days on his landline and it’s going direct to the message service. We’re getting quite worried about him and wondered if it’s possible to see if there’s a fault on the line?

  • fayeharland faye harland (@fayeharland) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia I’m not sure if they do. Happy to do another web chat to cancel.

  • 118perdoni Danny Edwards (@118perdoni) reported

    Another awful picture on @SkySportsPL via @virginmedia I haven’t paid extra for HD but I expect standard definition to be better than watching football in the seventies.

  • Darryl_1988 Darryl Stephens (@Darryl_1988) reported

    @virginmedia You never offer the best deal, it's a silly game where as you get passed from person to person you miraculously find a slightly better deal. You offer new customers a package for 29.99 and the best you can offer the same package an existing customer is £57 (2 days previous it was

  • Davidrwkellett David Kellett BSc (@Davidrwkellett) reported

    @virginmedia I dont have time for this. I was on hold on webchat for ages. Sort the issue out. Says no problems but when iv finally managed to get it to check to router, says known intermittent issues. So what is it???? Wheres my bill credit?

  • MikeAppo Mike Appo (@MikeAppo) reported

    @virginmedia what on earth is going on with the WiFi?? It's been on and off all week and you want to put up prices to £135 a month for atrocious service like this?

  • HorseyFree HCTS (@HorseyFree) reported

    @StewartHosieSNP @HumzaYousaf @theSNP I think Virgin Media are looking for customer service advisers

  • Gaarmstrong318 Geoffrey Armstrong (@Gaarmstrong318) reported

    @virginmedia Oh it’s never listed. Yet some days our internet is slow at best. This is why I begrudge the disgusting 33% hike is prices making you £20 a month dearer than sky for what seems to be a worse product.

  • adereynolds Ade Reynolds (@adereynolds) reported

    @virginmedia Hi. You keep replying to my complaint about poor service with the same template. You aren't even reading the emails and answering anything. Is there a proper complaints system or just this avoidance??

  • qbahmed1 qbahmed (@qbahmed1) reported

    @virginmedia Contacting your customer service is the worst part. The amount of time wasted without an outcome is horrendous, the deceiving information by the agent is scary & the attitude is completely unacceptable.

  • jakemesser Jake Messer (@jakemesser) reported

    Hey @virginmedia - we’ve just phoned up twice to cancel. First time after 20 mins on hold you end the line. Then you once again, place us on hold for 15mins and then your lines are closed. So we’ll cancel our direct debit and let you call us. Joke of a service as per last 4 years

  • Brasfort49 Julian Armstrong (@Brasfort49) reported

    @virginmedia has a new policy: they shut down their help desk before 19.30 (it says it shuts it at 20.00 on Saturday but that is not true). Their system goes haywire on Saturday morning and stays that way all day, as they deny anything is wrong…happens multiple times. Disastrous
