  • 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

  • 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..

  • 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!!!

  • Mickey_Rynn Mickey R. (@Mickey_Rynn) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

  • 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.

    @virginmedia Can someone @virginmedia help please with an Install advice please?

  • TheUnknown_real The Unknown (@TheUnknown_real) reported

    @virginmedia Only if you can get me a even cheaper deal than what I'm on now, for a loyal customer of 15 years...

  • jenthornbury jennifer thornbury (@jenthornbury) reported

    @virginmedia It’s ok I’ve contacted ICO and they are very interested to hear about this. They have asked me to first raise a complaint with virgin media which I have done today ! Let’s see what happens. I’ve checked with a virgin media agent today and I’ve never given a third party authority!

  • idrewdoughnut Andrew Molodoi (@idrewdoughnut) reported

    @virginmedia So why is service status saying “no known issue” when there are known issues. Please fix the page so it shows that there are ongoing issues

  • EdDaunt Edward Daunt (@EdDaunt) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks. Will continue my efforts to get technical help from Virgin. @SkyUK @TalkTalk can you guys provide a better broadband service and customer service than Virgin?

  • idrewdoughnut Andrew Molodoi (@idrewdoughnut) reported

    @virginmedia But you are not trying to assist me. You are saying that the ongoing fault should not be displayed on service status but where is that stated. All I see on service status is “no known issues”, which is untrue, we both know there are ongoing issues, regardless of type

  • coffeefee4laur Laur (@coffeefee4laur) reported

    @virginmedia 3 DAYS now with no wifi... apparently there are “no problems in my area” but something clearly isn’t right 🙄 customer service has not been helpful so far...

  • JohnSpencerTV John Spencer (@JohnSpencerTV) reported

    So if you can get through to virginmedia on the phone the leave guy will say after a mess about sure I'll sort the leave out, then you get a letter claiming it was a complaint, which har har if you can't through to them in 28 days will be dropped as no problem...

  • blitza700 blitza700 (@blitza700) reported
