  • 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.

  • Pegaso650 Jon Lovett (@Pegaso650) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia There are no faults in my area. The issue is likely to be with the router as the 2.4ghz works consistently on other devices.

  • 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..

  • frankroe2 frank #13 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@frankroe2) reported from Basildon, England

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

    You make mistakes in life. Going back to @virginmedia is one of my biggest. Internet is awful, can’t sign into the media service and the customer service is nonexistent. I advise you do not do it!!!

  • Pegaso650 Jon Lovett (@Pegaso650) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia It’s been awful. The connection is sporadic at best.

  • 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.

  • MicaMica100 Tash (@MicaMica100) reported

    @virginmedia No it’s not in spam and has not been sent. After hours on the phone today you claim to not have my email address even though it’s the same as the one you sent initial contracts too when we took up your service initially. No ECN has been sent not been attempted to have been sent

  • CharlieConnor4 Charlie Connor (@CharlieConnor4) reported

    @virginmedia Can you i@prove you app to provide information on reason and expected time of service working again. #nowifi

  • racheldlevy Rachel Levy (@racheldlevy) reported

    @virginmedia Honestly, what’s the point? All I get is reassurances from people that it will be sorted, and then nothing happens and I have to start all over again. Every month. I’m literally counting the minutes to the end of this contract. The worst experience I’ve ever had.

  • SeeingRedv2 Jimmy Hell V2 (@SeeingRedv2) reported

    Just had the best service I've ever had from the Virgin Media guy who came over to fix our TV signal. Credit where credit's due, when they get enough **** thrown at them, I'm only too happy to give praise when someone's so good at their job. Andre, you were ******* boss, mate.

  • JNH77 James Harrison (@JNH77) reported

    @virginmedia I have never in my life experienced customer service as poor as Virgin Media. Absolutely dreadful. I will tweet you every day until a manager calls me back

  • cplfc Chrissie Price (@cplfc) reported

    @virginmedia who can I contact about network issues.

  • pacman1712 paul (@pacman1712) reported

    @racheldlevy @virginmedia I had big problems a few months back and after doing all the online diagnostics I demanded an engineer out. He sorted the problem out on the spot!

  • straight_007 Gogzy (@straight_007) reported

    @virginmedia have the worst customer service on the planet. Absolutely atrocious. Would not recommend at all.

  • travs1234 Dave lee (@travs1234) reported

    @virginmedia Service checker says not vault, had engineer visit Tuesday, said it was street box related seem numerous engineers in the street no change!

  • AnishModgil Anish Modgil (@AnishModgil) reported

    @Pringwin @virginmedia The same treatment for me. Been with them for 10yrs - price increases and virtually no internet. In the end I cancelled my direct debit from the bank and will be leaving them in Feb. They are so stupid, even children have more common sense then they do
