  • TheSugg David Sugg (@TheSugg) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia hiya, another night of constant router/connection restarts and problems. Multiple engineer visits, senior engineer visits, call centre calls, new router and £160+ a month down the drain. I don’t want to switch provider but you’re not leaving me much option

  • TheSugg David Sugg (@TheSugg) reported from Gravesend, England

    @lobsterpants66 @virginmedia Yep. Engineer never turned up but logged it as he turned up and couldn’t get a reply. Lying b’stard.

  • maharrison Mark Harrison (@maharrison) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia I have continually tried to call, your wait times are really unacceptable, anyway I have also opted for the text service, however no text received. I am losing faith I’ve been waiting since August for some kind of contact from you. Any other options?

  • jamesrfyoung 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

  • maharrison Mark Harrison (@maharrison) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia Ok so I need to arrange another visit I won’t be contacted? Can you see how bad this looks? Now I’ll be in London I need to arrange someone to be there to let an engineer in unless there is a smaller window

    @virginmedia Can you please private message me, I have a log on issue.

  • hungoverdrawn Robert Shaw (@hungoverdrawn) reported from Wainscott, England

    @virginmedia It's started working this morning after 24 hours down, bit strange that your website said there were no service issues anywhere 😒 I guess I'll cancel that engineer visit now.

  • TheSugg David Sugg (@TheSugg) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia hi I’ve received a written response to a complaint from VM but with no way to reply other than the usual customer service number which doesn’t offer an option for this. Can you supply another telephone number or physical address to reply to?

  • wonky61shaky Penny Rolfe (@wonky61shaky) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia When are you going to refund me for many days without a wifi signal

  • JamieMeecham Jamie Meecham🏳️‍🌈♥️ (@JamieMeecham) reported from Canvey Island, England

    @virginmedia care to explain why a member of staff felt that hanging up on a customer complaining about their broadband is acceptable? And now I’m stuck on hold AGAIN to solve my issue.

  • MRDannyLawrence Danny-lawrence-BEM-BCAc (@MRDannyLawrence) reported from Billericay, England

  • connorward788 Connor Ward 🎮🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@connorward788) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, I’ve not been able to connect to WiFi for over 8 hours now? I’ve tried resetting router and also checked to see if there’s a problem in my area with the postcode checker and it says, everything is fine but I still can’t connect?? Router has 2 green flash lights

  • CarolMcn81 Carol Mcnelis (@CarolMcn81) reported

    @virginmedia my service has been terrible since I was "upgraded" to faster service. Buffers and cuts out constantly 😔

    @virginmedia JS, If that , please don't force me to come through a call to cancel my account. I don't want to go through a retention call. I have already raised a complaint ticket. Prices were raised , I have the letter which says I can cancel, I want to cancel. it is as simple as that.

  • MarcDanyluk 🅜🅐🅡🅒 🅓🅐🅝🅨🅛🅤🅚 💙 (@MarcDanyluk) reported

    @virginmedia Hi. The sound keeps dropping out every few seconds and it’s only happening on HD channels. Reboot has not fixed it. How do I fix it, it’s driving me insane and I hate watching television in SD. HELP!!!

  • EmPerrett Emily Rose (@EmPerrett) reported

    @virginmedia trying to leave, appears you can only do this on the phone & we haven’t been able to get through for days. We’ve had speeds from 2.68-12.1mbps today - our min guaranteed is 54mbps 😑 How do I cancel my contract? Thx

  • GaryFisher5 Gary Fisher (@GaryFisher5) reported

    @virginmedia awful. Truly, truly awful. You promised us we would have our broadband ready in our new home on the 13th January. Emailed me on the evening of the 12th to reschedule to 27th. Myself and my wife have to work from home.

  • dizzlekicks2603 🅳🅸🆉🆉🆈 🤪 (@dizzlekicks2603) reported

    @virginmedia Customer service may be shocking and a waste of time getting through on the phone. But at least your engineers are very helpful.
