    @virginmedia 9/ speak but he kept interrupting me. He had no help for me for having no internet for 6 days. He kept sighing and refused to put me through to anyone who could offer anymore help.

    @virginmedia hi there, all of our services have dropped out in the last ten minutes, the router changed to a flashing red light without anybody touching it. I have rebooted the router and it comes back on but is still flashing red. No TV, no WiFi, no landline help please

    @virginmedia Though I am dyslexic I have painstakingly done this on multiple devices and have photos to show It - not posting them publicly but it does not recognise that password ๐Ÿ˜ข A search on line suggests the problem is not unique. I have one hour to call the manufacturer if you advice.

    Aint it funny how my Internet was good as gold until @virginmedia tried to convince me to upgrade. Now its absolutely terrible ๐Ÿ™„

  • andy_s_battle
    Andrew Battle (@andy_s_battle) reported from East Ham, England

    @virginmedia But cutting people off to enforce this is unethical, besides no previous communication has indicated this and the solution is not convenient with where they want to do this and no suggestion to reposition my hub

    @virginmedia There is a blockage, that I know - I have had no service since November. I was told it would not be sorted before March 6th. I had been promised 3 call backs from different people in the Exec Department - none have followed up.

    @virginmedia How does ยฃ8.40 a day cover 2 people unable to work for a full day? Still no contact from Virgin engineer or any comment on what the issue is? The time to fix the issue just keeps getting later.

    @virginmedia your broadband sucks man!!! Can you just come and remove yourselves from my neighbourhood๐Ÿ˜‘๐Ÿ˜‘๐Ÿ˜‘๐Ÿ˜‘

    @virginmedia Broadband gone down again in SE3 8HT area, Iโ€™ve reset the hub 3times and still no Wi-Fi or broadband. Iโ€™m using data on my phone again.

    Listening to the broadband presentation on @itvMLshow with some irony. I pay @virginmedia ยฃ79/month for broadband/phone & TV. BB/TV failed in November, after many calls they say it will be fixed in March 2023 ๐Ÿ˜ฌ Compensation is only calculated when service is restored ๐Ÿ˜ช Fair?

    @MayorofLondon Shame they provide the most terrible customer service and treat you like they've got you by the short and curlies! Pay ยฃ400 a year for a service, custome service agents are like robots and stuff you for days when it doesn't work with no alternative offered! @virginmedia

  • macon1375
    Mark Connolly (@macon1375) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia They advise they would send a signal to router, I then turn off after 5 mins, for 10 mins and when back on all will be working! Well it didnโ€™t make a difference and my speed test shows my downloads dropped from 236mbs to 36. The issue is uploads tho at 0.5mbps. On hold again!

    @virginmedia sort it out! Iโ€™ve got Betty next door hollering at me over the fence when Iโ€™m trying to get the washing in asking if itโ€™s gone down! #virginmedia #VirginMediaoutage

    @virginmedia 12 hrs so far with no WiFi, no tv service and more importantly, no phone! Why am I paying you an extortionate amount of money each month?

    New customer at @virginmedia for the broadband just had it delivered connected and plugged into wall and woah never have I been able to connect to the internet so quickly Thanks all

  • Jenno16
    James (@Jenno16) reported

    So @virginmedia customer service is appalling! Was told I had a default, which they had never made any attempt to contact me about. Called and was told I was up to date and to email to get it removed. They replied to email to say that I had to pay despite being told on the 1/2

    @Simon_Whale @virginmedia Not disputing experiences with @virginmedia but we've been lucky; broadband was poor - upgrade FOC, don't use landline since it went VoIP - charge removed, cancelled TiVO - accepted my reasons, canx TV, upgrade BB, sent box to return set top - all went through no problems

    @virginmedia absolute bunch of amateurs, second time in 2 weeks my broadband and TV go down, trying to get an engineer visit is nothing but a ballache. I should just cancel and see you in court.
