    @virginmedia He apparently told my neighbour that it will just come on at some point tonight? I don’t really hold a lot of faith with that as he had no idea what the issue was?

    @virginmedia Had trouble with TV since this morning. Now have just BBC and ITV. Tried phoning but had short message saying they are busy and phone later! Phoned later…same message! What’s going on!?

    @SkyHelpTeam sort it out… it’s imperative now more than ever when we are working from home to have reliable internet!! There random outages are happening far too often and causing issue for my work and customers!! It’s just a shame I can’t get @virginmedia internet…

    @virginmedia by far the most awful company there is for customer service and Broadband!! Would not recommend anyone to join this company they dont want to help atall 😡

    @virginmedia So you’re telling me that because 3 separate members of your staff have lied and not raised a complaint when I’ve asked, I now need to send you a letter? Are you joking? #VirginMedia

  • LucyMazuma
    Lucy Cohen (@LucyMazuma) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia Yes so far. But apparently it's a temporary fix and they'll have to return again.

    Virgin Media nightmare to get advice and problems sorted

  • Dex_Fitz
    𝗗𝗲𝘅 𝗙𝗶𝘁𝘇𝗴𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗱 (@Dex_Fitz) reported from Skewen, Wales

    @virginmedia You’ve sent me a link to explain how I can raise an official complaint. One option is to give you a call? Something I have now tried on 3 separate occasions. Did you not read the thread? #Virginmedia

  • Jackson_SCFC
    Jackson (@Jackson_SCFC) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia No, I've gone down this route before, just look in to your routing servers and or the bandwidth limit. Any time I do anything remotely intensive all packets start getting dropped. I'm on my knees.

    @GalePrime @AshBoio @LoREclipse It's still **** as it's virgin media

  • chris061183

    @mb1984 @virginmedia mine is exactly the same keeps going off . it's a load of crap sent me new box and no change. 🤬

  • Jackson_SCFC
    Jackson (@Jackson_SCFC) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia 200 down from what I can remember, I'm at work right now so I can't check but the speed isn't the issue. Also, I said "should" because based on his test, it's an above average connection, but in practice, it's wildly inconsistent in terms of ping, packet loss/timing.

    ⭕ Toni Geens 🍍 (bam.zoom) (@hamsterpranks) reported

    Hey @virginmedia we just took out a new contract with you, had our box fitted on Friday, reprogrammed on Saturday due to an outage. Now we've just gone over 24 hours with no internet or TV yet again and the fix times constantly being pushed back. What's your cancellation period?

  • revoraman
    Ric M. (@revoraman) reported

    @Benleo Well said, Ben. Yes, the WORST! You are in the public eye. Private Cstmrs like me who get billed for DD payments by @virginmedia , despite writing to Cust Svcs Exec in March, April, still cannot access emails, as their Support is totally inept+incompetent!

  • BlackMamboTr
    BlackMamboTR (@BlackMamboTr) reported

    @virginmedia ⸻ Serious trust issues with this company. Commitments were not fulfilled, and statements were inconsistent. Information provided by different representatives contradicted each other. Considering alternative companies is strongly advised.

  • AnthonyJames03
    Anthony James (@AnthonyJames03) reported

    @IanLythgoe4 @virginmedia Dude switch to Sky. I heard so much bad about them, but has been amazing ! Customer service is so much better than virgins was and I was with them 7years

  • asher_pr1nce
    Elliott (@asher_pr1nce) reported

    @virginmedia my app says we're out of contract, I have tried 4 times to renew it with the same package, for cheaper and it says I'd get a email but, I've never received one. With my bill at £115+ now, I want this sorted otherwise I will shop around for better options.

  • NoumaanQ
    Noumaan Qureshi (@NoumaanQ) reported

    @HeyBroadband my Internet has been down more almost 48 hours and your technical team has done nothing to help your service is atrocious I regret leaving @virginmedia

    @Benleo @virginmedia Give your custom to someone else. That is what I do when I'm not happy with the service I'm expected to pay for.

    @virginmedia S29 EA2010does not allow you to dictate the terms you provide a service! #disabledhatecrime all this has been provided seems a robot is responding not a human!

  • ShirleySarah70
    ShirleySarah🌹🎸🦊🦔🐦⚽ (@ShirleySarah70) reported

    @virginmedia You still haven't replied to my DM which I sent nearly 10 days ago. Don't you like me? What have I done wrong apart from being a customer of over 25 years.

    @Stephencheatley @virginmedia Just get freeview or freesat, Stephen. I’ve got Virgin media broadband and to be fair I’ve never had any problems.
