  • 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

    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

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

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

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

    @1KolaAdebisi @virginmedia @Ofcom @Ofcom Your intervention is really needed here because @virginmedia has really failed in their dispensing of service #ShabbyServices

  • 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.

  • 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

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

    This is unacceptable @virginmedia your services especially the customer services despite endless promises still not done #ShabbyServices

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

    @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

    @virginmedia crap service again . Trying to book tickets and in queue then no internet. Useless

  • nige977 Nigel (@nige977) reported from Ilford, England

    “Right now our team is a little busy” @virginmedia yeah no shit they are, everyone trying to call to get their daily virgin issue sorted

  • Kimbow21 kimberley Goodinson (@Kimbow21) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia I’m disgusted I’ve been a customer for 15 years and more . You’ve put the price up by £20. The very unhelpful person on the phone offered me a £2 discount . Disgusting back to Sky .

  • BrianAustin21 Brian Austin (@BrianAustin21) reported from Dundee, Scotland

    @virginmedia are a joke. Services down again. Customer services are an absolute disgrace, no help what so ever 😡

  • Tbb73Tony Tony (@Tbb73Tony) reported from Cheltenham, England

    @virginmedia still no service. All fast sleep or watching tv to worry about customers

  • 19nine78 19nine78 (@19nine78) reported from Motherwell, Scotland

    @virginmedia Now if either of your call handlers had sent me that earlier I could have made an informed decision 😂 Appreciate you can't access details on here but you've been more helpful than anyone else. Complaint sent via website form as well. Sadly, your probably losing a customer

  • EvanD Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia I’ll try texting. I only have 1 bar of signal

  • hatch_rebecca Rebecca Hatch (@hatch_rebecca) reported from Ruddington, England

    @virginmedia very disappointed in your customer service, unhelpful, defensive and unbothered is best way to describe it. Was on fence about leaving but this has pushed a decision. Always had great things to say about virgin so this is definitely a let down

  • BrianAustin21 Brian Austin (@BrianAustin21) reported from Dundee, Scotland

    @virginmedia I have no wifi service. I haven't had any for 24 hours. I have spoken to customer service and they cannot get anyone to fix this today. I am on hold now to cancel my services

  • EvanD Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia It’s only been in the past few weeks that it’s gotten so bad. I was getting updates 2 weeks ago from @EE saying they were doing work in my area, but have heard nothing since. Shame you don’t have wi-fi calling
