  • 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.

    @ItsJosh_Jones @downdetector It's been down for hours in Kent just got a new time for maybe getting net back as 3am tomorrow morning @virginmedia is a joke..

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

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

  • Bunglebob66 Robert Bailey (@Bunglebob66) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia get enough money from me and all the others get enough, from the rest of the paying public. So stop being greedy, stop paying the Premier clubs so much and wages will have to come down. There, sorted!

  • AnnHepper Ann Hepper (@AnnHepper) reported from Aylesford, England

    @virginmedia when will you be sorting out the appalling connection issues in the ME20 area which has been going on for months.. appalling service

  • AnnHepper Ann Hepper (@AnnHepper) reported from Ditton, England

    @virginmedia #virginmedia please answer your phone poor Internet connection and paying for a service we are not receiving is not acceptable you need to improve your appalling service

  • TheSugg David Sugg (@TheSugg) reported from Gravesend, England

    @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?

  • MidkentTravel MidKent Travel (@MidkentTravel) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia Can you please private message me, I have a log on issue.

  • marcgallagher82 Marc Gallagher (@marcgallagher82) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia your sales team are the biggest bunch of #fraudsters I’ve ever dealt with! Phone us to offer a better package and you have taken our package and completely messed it all up! #CustomerService at it’s worst! If this is how you treat a loyal customer of 14year, I’m off!

  • TheSugg David Sugg (@TheSugg) reported from Gravesend, England

    @lobsterpants66 @virginmedia Yep. Engineer never turned up but logged it as he turned up and couldn’t get a reply. Lying b’stard.

  • 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

  • l_stallworthy Laura S 🦢🦄 (@l_stallworthy) reported from Gillingham, England

    Virgin Media are terrible 🤣 if it’s not the WiFi playing up, it’s the TV lol

  • 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?

  • kanur1 adedeji adebayo (@kanur1) reported from Maidstone, England

    @virginmedia Any news regarding broadband issues in Kent? When do we get service back feeling incapacitated

  • 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.

  • help49147422 help (@help49147422) reported

    @virginmedia i have been calling that number every week since august, they are no help at all

  • chrisoliver71 Chris Oliver🌳☁️🗽 (@chrisoliver71) reported

    @virginmedia At the moment it’s fine but you never know when it’s going to go bad Monday was really bad and seemed to coincide with work start time. Is my bandwidth being strangled?

  • drbedoe DB (@drbedoe) reported

    @virginmedia Of course you are. So why not add a note to website to state that online complaints are not working. I've been waiting patiently for my previous complaint only to find it was never despite a response to the contrary. Oh and any you could phone me?

  • alice_lake1 alice (@alice_lake1) reported

    @virginmedia Tried it, hub is a dud, got a technician coming out Friday to fix it

  • markcatchlove Mark Catchlove (@markcatchlove) reported

    Not a great way to start the day with being frustrated by @virginmedia - the most appalling service ! Sending a 2nd engineer out to check whether the first engineer did their job right!! Also asking me questions only an engineer could answer!

  • Brianmc39294204 Brian mcgee (@Brianmc39294204) reported

    Internet and phone line down again after work by virgin media at the end of the street. No appointment for a engineer to come and fix it before Friday! Glad I do t work from home @virginmedia

  • iainsymac iMac (@iainsymac) reported

    @virginmedia "Problem logging in to your account" not a good start

  • SteDellOrco Stefano Dell'Orco (@SteDellOrco) reported

    @virginmedia Sure.. the compensation is already at more than 110£ (8.40£ per day, from the 3rd day without service), and I am not counting the fact you didn't show up. Something is telling me that I'll never see this amount... You'll find a way out of this, as it happened last September.

  • karenlhumphreys kazzaL (@karenlhumphreys) reported

    @virginmedia Please everything has been checked our end and your end multiple times! It’s just not acceptable ! Already researching other providers neighbours with sky hasn’t gone down once in 3 years

  • SabineGetty Sabine Getty (@SabineGetty) reported

    @virginmedia @JosephGetty8 This is beyond unacceptable. It’s been a month and no one has come to fix it. All we get is your lazy automated emails postponing the date our internet will be “ fixed”. How is this normal? Worst service ever #virginmedia #virginnomediaatall
