  • 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?

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

    @virginmedia Hopefully the confirmation of the rude man losing his job.

  • 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?

  • rob_green86 Rob Green Jnr (@rob_green86) reported from Thundersley, England

    Anyone else really struggling with slow speeds over the last 10 days with @virginmedia. It's been spot on for 2 years now and then 10 days it seems something has happened. Lucky to get over 10Mb now 🙈

  • 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 morning, your text service seems to have stopped talking to me and we’ve spent another week with no service. Who can I speak to?

  • GrandmasterAce1 kali ace (@GrandmasterAce1) reported from Grays, England

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

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia Thank you I am going to try again via sales as managed to get through last night but was informed I need to speak to construction and they were closed. Complaint ref was/is C-030920566 Thanks for helping Mark

  • 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.

  • 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

    The only benefit of having Virgin media down, is I don’t need to watch their adverts telling me how reliable they are.
