    @virginmedia our wifi drips out anything between 4 and 8 times a day. The app always says there are no issues. Getting pretty sick of it now. Looks like going back to @SkyUK is the only way.

  • marcsnappy Marc Corn (@marcsnappy) reported from Basildon, England

    Hey @virginmedia you better offer me a better deal tomorrow or else I will be leaving. New customers are always treated better than existing. I know from experience with you guys that this never changes.

  • karl_holden Karl Holden (@karl_holden) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia the service is deteriorating. Time to review your performance and reveal the source of your problems before your customer base starts to become even more disenchanted.

    @virginmedia So only total loss of service allows me compensation,just 7 days of really awful service including customer services, when asked about compensation and I query the criteria,throw a ‘sorry I can’t hear you’... Now that’s really awful customer service 😡

  • engineer59a Richard S (@engineer59a) reported from Corringham, England

    Virgin media - your automated service has a flaw, it just repeats the same message, ‘ no faults found’, when there is a fault, like my internet is giving 2Mb download right now

  • engineer59a Richard S (@engineer59a) reported from Corringham, England

    @virginmedia 3 days of warm weather and your network goes to pot!😔😡 3 rd day in a row no internet intermittently

  • LawroGardiner Lawrence Gardiner ➡️ (@LawroGardiner) reported from Basildon, England

    @Dianemiddleto @tankhead666 @virginmedia Thanks. I got the text hours after talking to Virgin Media on the phone to activate my hub after a house move. Never had it before. Something not right in their call centres.

  • engineer59a Richard S (@engineer59a) reported from Corringham, England

    @virginmedia 15 minutes wasted waiting on the phone till 9PM For the most awful internet service, 6 days now of truly awful service

  • nickihendrix4 nickihendrix (@nickihendrix4) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia what the actual **** is wrong with you people if it was phone bill you guys would have deducted all long time ago but y’all don’t want me to make calls and y’all decided not to warn us either. I swear to God I’m not paying my bill this month periodt

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

    @virginmedia I’ve going through this process since 20th March! I’m unable to talk on the phone easily due to a brain injury. I’m still waiting for a response from the resolution team!!

  • marcsnappy Marc Corn (@marcsnappy) reported from Basildon, England

    @Shadow_Official @virginmedia This issue I found happened more on wifi, I had to put in a secondary switch and run everything via Ethernet.

  • claire_m_willia Claire Williams (@claire_m_willia) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia your customer service is an absolute joke won't ever be using you again . Worst customer service ever !!!!!!!!!

  • WUFC2005 Football 4 All (@WUFC2005) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia nothing but issues. 2G & 5G always stops working. Updates happens when ever it feels like. And every time I contact Virgin, it's like talking to a 6 year old.

  • leigherin88 Leigh (@leigherin88) reported

    @virginmedia Yes. I have followed all of your process. I made a complaint 8 weeks ago and I’ve received no response. You can’t appreciate my frustration. I’m disabled and can’t use my office that’s equipped to help me because the internet doesn’t extend beyond my living room.

  • btccryptowealth CryptocurrencyEducator (@btccryptowealth) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia it says know issues, should be fixed by 14:00, that is half a days wages. The issue started yesterday evening why does it take so long to fix

  • leigherin88 Leigh (@leigherin88) reported

    @virginmedia Your engineer installed my router above my gas and electricity meters. I can’t move the router because of how it was installed. The signal won’t leave my living room. I have explained this 1000 times already and I’ve received no help.

  • sregan61 Shaun Regan (@sregan61) reported

  • Ehviiate Skye フローズン (@Ehviiate) reported

    @virginmedia are there any customer/ technical support guys available right now. I have an issue with my Internet, something to do with DNS server/ connection

  • nflockton neil flockton (@nflockton) reported

    @virginmedia Hey Virgin Media you lied to me again!!! You’ve sent me another questionnaire asking how you did after fixing my problems? YOU DIDN’T YOU TURNED UP ONCE AND JUST LEFT IT. I’m cancelling at the weekend you’re a joke! 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

  • anaagdagd Anastasia Demetriou (@anaagdagd) reported

    @virginmedia @YodelOnline hi still no text- can someone let me know if this is coming today? I can’t stay at home and wait for a package that may never arrive.

  • LucasDuffy93 Lucas Duffy (@LucasDuffy93) reported

    @virginmedia No more devices than usual, and when I ask to speak to them I'm told that they don't have a contact number. I emailed back to the resolution email and haven't had a response. Genuinely an appalling service I've had from Virgin Media. Only resolution is to try to sell me products.

  • Bruce43454388 Bruce 🦇🦘🏖 (@Bruce43454388) reported

    @virginmedia so, here we are again Virgin; no internet!! Seriously can you not keep the Service running for more than a week. Of course your status in my area says that there are no problems; never is but I know there are issues - Bristol area.
