  • Cod49ers Marc Tobin (@Cod49ers) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia A thousand times. On a chat all day yesterday and was promised someone would call me, no one did. To say this is the worst customer experience I have ever had would be an understatement.

  • Coxy009 Ben Cox (@Coxy009) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia my internet connection is still being affected by the issue you had a few days ago! This is not good enough and I expect better.

  • Cod49ers Marc Tobin (@Cod49ers) reported from Grays, England

    @financialombuds can I get out of my @virginmedia contract with no costs due to their complete failure to provide the service I pay for and refuse to deal with my issues

  • BrazilArteUK BrazilArte (@BrazilArteUK) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    I’ve been waiting in all day for a package. For them not to deliver as they couldn’t ring the door bell. @virginmedia please don’t use @YodelOnline anymore they are the worst company ever.

  • Big_D_2012 Darral.s (@Big_D_2012) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia you really have to sort your internet service out shocking!!

  • MarkPashby Mark Pashby (@MarkPashby) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia still no connectivity at all for me in SS0. Running a successful ISP should also surely include upda ting customers when issues arrise. Internet connectivity in this day and age is a utility, not a nice to have. #virginmediadown

  • Cod49ers Marc Tobin (@Cod49ers) reported from Grays, England

    All ******* weekend on to @virginmedia about their shit service and absolutely nothing

  • Jakec1505 Jake (@Jakec1505) reported from Chelmsford, England

    Virgin media are actually ***************. Worst WiFi I’ve ever had

  • divadnoryb David A Byron (@divadnoryb) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia I cannot express just how disappointed I am with your service. My broadband has been dire for over a week now. Constantly dropping out, slow speeds and just not fit for purpose. First thing I’m doing is switching providers when this is all over. Never again virgin..

  • Cod49ers Marc Tobin (@Cod49ers) reported from Grays, England

    Another afternoon on to @virginmedia with absolutely no body willing to help. The customer service is as appalling as the service they provide. The sooner I can get back to @skytv the better #virginbroadband #virginmedia #con #ripoff

  • kelly_bingham2 Kelly Bingham (@kelly_bingham2) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia you are an absolute shambles and that’s me being polite .... countless amounts of calls, hours on end of holding on the line and trying to resolve a very simple issue and it is STILL not resolved ..I am beyond frustrated now and will never ever use you again

  • ChrisyL1 Chris L (@ChrisyL1) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia Ty for getting back to me, look we have been together for too long to just throw it all away bc of one incident so I will take a look once I’m home from work ... I miss you lots x

  • thebooooooth Mark Booth (@thebooooooth) reported from Basildon, England

    Problems with @virginmedia continue. Now the wifi is down and no streaming tonight! #shouldnothaveleftsky #FirstWorldProblems

  • MarkPashby Mark Pashby (@MarkPashby) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia i get it. Captalist country and therefore a fallacy to beleive we dont need you. You social media support responders are in jobs etc But really, VM broadband is a joke. Bring back telewest and the more personal service of old. #virginmediadown again

  • Cod49ers Marc Tobin (@Cod49ers) reported from Grays, England

    I am getting the serious **** with @virginmedia absolutely appalling service!!!

  • thebooooooth Mark Booth (@thebooooooth) reported from Basildon, England

    So @virginmedia lie to you and then don't respond to you or follow up your phone request to make a complaint. Why did i ever leave Sky! The service has been shocking, wouldn't recommend Virgin to anyone

  • coxychris chris cox (@coxychris) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I hope you are going to compensate people for these issues. Mines been like this for weeks so much so that I thought it was the super hub. Looks like I may leave I’m June service is awful

  • tmacbond Tmak (@tmacbond) reported from Wickford, England

    @Ofcom @virginmedia How on earth can you on a simple change over of service that your representative said or was an easy job & you still 5months later still being billed & endless promises not kept now it’s calls eating into family time & not end in sight!! Help

  • Mickey_Rynn Mickey R. (@Mickey_Rynn) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia internet completely down. Also your websites: can't even get on to check status elsewhere

  • TomzEvz5 X (@TomzEvz5) reported from Wainscott, England

    If I had a pound for everytime @virginmedia went down I'd finally be able to afford my Internet bill... #virginmedia #virgindown #virgin #sortitoutlove

  • FoxMcbutt FoxMcbutt (@FoxMcbutt) reported

    Has anyone I know changed their router on Virgin Media? The WiFi signal is shocking at best. I'm just wondering how much I'd need to drop for a better signal. Suggestions welcome! @virginmedia #Router #wifi

  • lillibelg lillibel (@lillibelg) reported

    @virginmedia had broadband problem, you wrote with a contact number via text in order to help.Text is answered by auto bot, been two days, no reply and just repetitive asking the same security questions. Seriously ?!😡

  • filmvsbook Amanda (@filmvsbook) reported

    Anyone know if #virginmedia is down or just me?

  • JoeWritesftbl Joe (@JoeWritesftbl) reported

    @virginmedia It’s not that I don’t wish to call them it’s that they don’t help haha.

  • nlpedwards Neil is back in the room... (@nlpedwards) reported

    Hi @virginmedia, are there any issues with broadband in the TW2 area? Seems to be down at the moment...

  • KatieDouglas93 ᗪㄖㄩᎶㄥ卂丂 (@KatieDouglas93) reported

    @SBehdoost @virginmedia @richardbranson I had to take unpaid leave bc it went down I also cannot go into the office bc I’m high risk it’s stupid!

  • mattoneillk Matt O'Neill (@mattoneillk) reported

    @virginmedia Done! It says my wifi is poor and I would benefit from a booster. But I hve to order this over the phone. This is a joke now, if I don’t get through on this call I will be cancelling my subscriptions!

  • SylarMagic Sylar (@SylarMagic) reported

    @virginmedia Hi there, day 3 lucky maybe? I am on 2 months and 3 days of trying to cancel my contract. The robot messaging service won’t recognise my sort code or password and automated line is telling me all call centres are closed. I would like to please cancel my broadband

  • TCH5122 Tomh51 (@TCH5122) reported

    @virginmedia Hi. I have done all these things regularly. The problem is that it is a consistent intermittent fault. Therefore much of the time it works, but on almost a daily basis it drops out. Which is obviously a major problem when my wife and I are on meetings and getting thrown out

  • RitzNarshi Ritz (@RitzNarshi) reported from Lichfield, England

    Watching @virginmedia engineers install cabling to a property opposite. Residents moved in yesterday. They’re not in, nor is their neighbour. Didn’t stop the engineers lifting the neighbour’s lawn to drill and feed through cabling. Terrible.
