  • nigelrumsey Nigel Rumsey (@nigelrumsey) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia Your link says it can’t find any issues, there are issues. Can you advise if it’s being investigated? What’s the eta? Thanks.

  • rrrussboy Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I’ve now been told that there is no complaints team, despite the fact I spoke to them earlier. How is it possible to be so poor?

  • rrrussboy Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I’ve already raised a complaint. I spoke to someone in the Stage 2 complaints team who told me it’s being dealt with and, as already mentioned, a manager would call me back at 4.30 which didn’t happen. Can someone please sort this out?

  • RERomain Rachel Romain (@RERomain) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia It has been almost 30 years since he was a new customer... 🙃

  • rrrussboy Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia so after weeks of unbelievably poor broadband and customer service there was an offer from you to resolve the situation with a web chat at 11am, with a link being provided here. No link. I’m lost for words

  • katie_2521 Katie Williams (@katie_2521) reported from Wickford, England

    @virginmedia I had already look at this page previously. And when we have issues there is no indication on what it could be, I. E the *********** light is in as if its connected

  • J4Y_DEE Justin 🇺🇦 (@J4Y_DEE) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia @VMHelpDesk Broadband down in my area, this is frustrating. Reckon it’ll be fixed by 9. No tv & Broadband during the school holidays

  • rrrussboy Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I’ve spent over 2 hours on the phone and I lost count of people I’ve spoken to when I got to 12. That’s just today and this has gone on for weeks. Pretty sure you would’ve lost me as a very longstanding customer by the time 28 days is up.

  • KatiePurkiss Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    After 20 years of being with @virginmedia and Telewest before that, I’ve finally decided to jump ship. Broadband has been horrendous for a couple of weeks and constant issues. 😔. #TimeforaChange

  • KatiePurkiss Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    Hey @virginmedia Parents new 360 box not working and engineer not available to come out til the 27th!!!! Not good enough! 😔

  • wonky1961 Penny Rolfe nee Acres (@wonky1961) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @Mattallwright 2 years on since I have been having trouble with Virgin Media (fingers crossed) they may have now get an uninterrupted supply after charging me late payments more than double my Media prices whilst as a Vulnerable Person they were awful

  • rrrussboy Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I raised the complaint on 14/7 and I’ve heard nothing

  • rrrussboy Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia Actually that’s wrong, I received an email to advise that the complaint had been resolved and had to respond saying it hasn’t. What hope is there when you can’t even get a complaint right?

  • KatiePurkiss Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    Virgin Media broadband down AGAIN. Service Status website & app don’t work as no internet connection 🤨 @virginmedia

  • 1CreativeRay Dr Stower and the Stock Market of Madness 🦍 (@1CreativeRay) reported from Wainscott, England

    @virginmedia Hi VM, I ordered a replacement remote control for my TIVO box. Just realised that was a couple of months ago but it never came. When trying online again it says as I’ve had one within six months I can’t order another. Please check that the first was ever sent, thanks

  • KatiePurkiss Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    . @virginmedia down yet again? Not able to watch On Demand and error messages. Plus their website is down. 🙄

  • 1CreativeRay Dr Stower and the Stock Market of Madness 🦍 (@1CreativeRay) reported from Wainscott, England

    @virginmedia Terrible service from you these last two weeks! I have spent more than 4hrs on the phone to Asian based O2, and Virgin call centres who never help or process things. Also Capita in South Africa… Why do you use foreign call centres if they cannot do the job!!

  • RWheelhouse1 rachel Wheelhouse 🇺🇦 (@RWheelhouse1) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia 6 days since moving to Virgin, we are having issues, the WiFi won't reach our outside cameras. After completing the troubleshooting guides + waiting for over an hour for a chat agent + 30 mins on the phone, we still haven't spoken to a human....not impressed

  • rrrussboy Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia You’ve now sent me the same unhelpful link about compensation 3 times. This will only compensate me if I have no service, and as I have a service (albeit 3mbps) this, as I’ve repeated several times, doesn’t help me. Another example of poor customer service

  • katie_2521 Katie Williams (@katie_2521) reported from Wickford, England

    @virginmedia been struggling for days with home WiFi. Tried to contact you guys but cant find a number Please help

  • kerching Dastardly Whiplash (@kerching) reported

    @virginmedia Yeah and zero compensation for loss of service. After 13 year loyal punter - switching to a provider who charges 1/2 of what you do. You don't care about loyal punters apart from charging them more

  • Katie_totten Katie Totten (@Katie_totten) reported

    @virginmedia It was the WhatsApp team that created the complaint on my behalf. Other than the reference number from them I have no recieved any information

  • JustGG11 GG (@JustGG11) reported

    @virginmedia how do I book an emergency engineer or technician or whatever there called to come and sort my home install? Thanks

  • ianjeffray Ian Jeffray (@ianjeffray) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, it said Yesterday. And it's been worse since the outage yesterday.

  • hill1985wayne Wayne Hill (@hill1985wayne) reported

    @virginmedia Worst customer service known to man. 2 engineers couldn't install my TV/broadband, I've spent 5 hrs on the phone to you and still I can't cancel my 2day old policy. Been hung up on twice and promised a call back that didn't happen!

  • Torig1983 Victoria Gillespie (@Torig1983) reported from Dunmurry, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Working now but annoying as has taken most of afternoon up... now waiting for pc to reboot and virgin media chat doesn't work on phone so kept being given to runaround and redirected to faq pages. .such a faff

  • JamiePinner Jamie Pinner (@JamiePinner) reported

    @virginmedia So is there a known problem? Been all day

  • kerching Dastardly Whiplash (@kerching) reported

    @virginmedia After 2.5 hours earlier today I go through to a human being, essentially got told to go **** myself and I was lucky an engineer was coming within 2 weeks. Guess which company I will be within the next 7 day? Hint - NOT virgin

  • JaneCreasy Jane Creasy (@JaneCreasy) reported

    @virginmedia Yes but the problem is already diagnosed I just need to know when the engineers are coming back. They said this morning it would be later today but they didn’t show. I need to ensure they don’t come tomorrow 8 October

  • DrumLoz Lorna MacAulay (@DrumLoz) reported

    @virginmedia I was already unhappy, which is why I spent over an hour on the phone to the 1111 number. You’re now suggesting I complain about how my complaint was handled! Is there any way I can put my complaint(s) in writing so there is a paper trail?
