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

    @virginmedia You are no longer my ISP due to your incompetence. Also there will be a lawsuit pending due to the fact I almost died from pneumonia with pulmonary oedema and sepsis later going into stage 2 respiratory failure. Your useless service is unacceptable.

  • 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

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

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia I’ve sorted the issue. But now there’s no way of cancelling the engineer! Can’t get through on phone. Appointment isn’t showing on their account, so can’t cancel there. WhatsApp is useless - been waiting for an Agent to be available since about 1pm!

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

    @MartinSLewis Virgin Media wifi been unstable since June 2020. Virgin Media never resolved the problem caused me to lose hundreds of £'s. Made me lose my PIP. Virgin made me pay double because they kept charging me twice most months. They've made me lose half my PC Guarantee

  • 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 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?

  • Matty411 Matt Frow (@Matty411) reported from Corringham, England

    @virginmedia I hope you can help me. When I try to watch TV on virgin tv go,but it come up something went wrong error comes up (even if I use another account). I hope you can help me.

  • 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

    @virginmedia They haven’t got through to anyone to cancel it yet?

  • 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

  • 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 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?

  • 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

    @virginmedia To be fair it was fine again this morning, just very frustrated when I just wanted to Netflix and wasn’t able to due to slow speeds

  • LucasHSmith71 Lucas Harvey-Smith (@LucasHSmith71) reported

    @virginmedia Yeah I tried all this, we now have a 5g addition which has increased our speed to 176 mobs, but we are on the oomph deal and should get a intelligent pod with the deal, but we never received one

  • BarrieTynemouth Barrie Tynemouth (@BarrieTynemouth) reported

    @virginmedia @Virginmedia Internet here all week has almost non existent! Aren't you the suppler and have the network tools available to you to tell me whether there has been an outage ?

  • myster02 Kimberley Kilmister (@myster02) reported

    Does @virginmedia catch up ever work????? Really getting pissed off paying for a service that I can't rely on. The online help doesn't cover it neither!!

  • crispriestley Chris Priestley (@crispriestley) reported

    @virginmedia OR you could have actual technical support - like everyone else.

  • thejubileejones 🦋frank grimes stan account🌌🌼 (@thejubileejones) reported

    @virginmedia Hello. The internet connection keeps going off. Second time in three days. We have work to do. Please help!!!

  • lucyproctor Lucy Proctor (@lucyproctor) reported

    @virginmedia Yes tweets now showing. As I said, already called your center. Guess we will write. In the meantime we are without WiFi until next Wednesday. Appalling service.

  • thejubileejones 🦋frank grimes stan account🌌🌼 (@thejubileejones) reported

    @virginmedia No it seems to be happening with people in the area. We had issues with poor connection before and had to buy supplemental devices!!

  • magpie1862 Dean Thomas (@magpie1862) reported

    @virginmedia. I've had a complaint regarding a bill. One minute they said they replied to my complaint. Which was a lie. Now I got an email regarding my complaint saying. Resolution apology to customer. So where is my official apology?. Glad I left a poor organisation. Shocking

  • tilly__mint Tilly Mint (@tilly__mint) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, just spoke on the phone. Third time we've reported it this week. Other 2 times your system said there was an issue & sending settings. Today, miraculously no issue, and want me to pay £5 extra per month.
