    @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

    @virginmedia I can’t seem to find an email address or postal address for general queries, can you please provide me with one? My nan is now in a care home with dementia and we need to cancel her landline, broadband & mobile on her behalf so need to write to you to give details.

    @virginmedia time now 11:14pm and certain channels still aren’t working, things said they have recorded when they haven’t, search function also still not working code c133. I think a refund is due to a lot of customers 👎🏻👎🏻#virginmediadown

    @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

    James Young (@jamesrfyoung) reported from Wickford, England

    @virginmedia your internet has been rubbish recently with varying speeds as low as 5mb 1 minute then 95mb the next! Now it’s gone down completely! On top of not being able to speak with anyone I don’t feel that your service is worth it! #rubbishservice

  • MrsDyer25
    Laura Dyer (@MrsDyer25) reported from Great Baddow, England

    @virginmedia So what can be done to improve the technical issues we are having? Could it be our equipment?

    @virginmedia Hi, done the reboot and pin reboot but still dropping out drastically. The speeds I was getting to the speeds I am getting is really bad

    @JooMarsden @virginmedia I truly have never experienced anything like this before , there’s gonna be a launch here soon … this router out my bloody window and I couldn’t give a toss where it touches down @richardbranson it certainly won’t be a safe landing where’s our service we are paying for ?

  • suzywotz
    ꧁༒☬𝓢𝓾𝔃𝔂𝔀𝓸𝓽𝔃☬༒꧂ 🌷🐼🎪⭐️👸🏽 (@suzywotz) reported from Gravesend, England

    @JooMarsden @virginmedia It appears it’s gotta be all our road .. surely others have reported an issue too hence it needs to be addressed rapidly lots of stressed and angry customers I’d imagine #notimpressed

  • 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

  • VenusEnvi
    VenusEnvi (@VenusEnvi) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia what’s the point of asking me to text when I’m ready to set up the new hub if your going to deactivate the old one before I’m ready!! Good job I have unlimited data on my mobile network!!

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

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

  • samanthadoe1
    Samantha Doe (@samanthadoe1) reported from Canvey Island, England

    @virginmedia Yes and there are/were no known broadband issues showing in the area on the service page

  • GoonerGrizzly
    grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported from Thundersley, England

    @virginmedia This seems to be the standard message coming from Virgin Media. “Computer says no”. If you can’t see the issue with this then you (Virgin Media) are the problem. I’m inclined to contact the ombudsman as you have sold me a service which you blatantly cannot provide or install.

    Hmm, #Skyglass is looking like a decent option if this #virginmedia outage becomes a habit.

    @westbrookdanni @virginmedia Up to 2 weeks ago I didn't have a bad word to say about them. The pure fact you can't get through to someone is the worst of it. Happy to take your money and trim your internet speeds!

  • 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

    @SunveerC26 @_amansanger_ @virginmedia This is so rude, how do u guys have footage of me waiting for the internet to come back up 👀👀 booky

    @fingers_terry @virginmedia I hope so. I’d hate to have to cancel my subscription.

  • 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?

    Andy (@andyosb) reported

    @Ofcom @virginmedia did exactly the same thing to me back in 2019! It was - and still is - the worst customer service experience of my life (and I'm now 65). I was just so relieved to escape them eventually. They're utter scum. Do yourself a favour & don't go anywhere near this company

  • TMSH71
    Steve Williams Fan Club (@TMSH71) reported

    @BBCBreaking If you think Virgin Media are bad, Virgin Mobile were beyond useless, so much so they 'joined forces' with O2. Good riddance to bad rubbish

  • EmmanuelInvest
    Emmanuel – Big Tech & AI Investor (@EmmanuelInvest) reported

    🚨 UK Regulator Fines Virgin Media £28 Million ($37.4M) Ofcom has slapped Virgin Media with a £28 million fine for systematically preventing customers from cancelling contracts over nearly three years (Jan 2022 – mid-Sept 2024). Key Findings: - Deliberate call-dropping tactics - Excessive and unnecessary call transfers - Repeatedly putting customers on hold for no reason Ofcom described the failings as systemic and repeated. Background: Virgin Media is a joint venture between Spain’s Telefónica and Liberty Global. This is the second major fine for Virgin Media recently (previously fined £23.8M in December for issues with telecare customers during landline migration). Impact: Another hit to Virgin Media’s reputation in the UK broadband/mobile market.

    GanAinm (@ainm_gan5505) reported

    @MartinSLewis Virgin Media is not actually Virgin, it’s a ****** American company called Liberty with a license to use the Virgin Media branding. The real Virgin company should take the license off them for driving the name through the ****.

    @Ofcom The worst experience I have ever had was signing up for @virginmedia and then trying to extricate myself from them. Took months and months and hours and hours of my time that I won’t get back. So glad to see this news. The irony was they never even connected me. Shambles.

    @virginmedia @StevePi15233586 The issue would be their servers potentially blocked the account for some reason like too manh attempts to loginSuggest forget Virgin Mail set up a Gmail account & when finally get in forward to Gmail in meantime send the people that would contact you the new Gmail email address

    @BBCNews Another time phoned up virgin media said my internet was running slow. They said no problems. We can give you a discount for the time it's been running slow. They didn't contact me in any way, shape or form and signed me up to a New year's contract.
