  • GillDale3 Gill Dale (@GillDale3) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    Plusnet is crap. Don’t go there. Switched to them monday, no internet. Now told nothing until 28 Feb! Unbelievable. Come back Virgin Media all is forgiven

  • ogerreyn owain gerreyn (@ogerreyn) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia what a joke of a company. My broadband was down for months and you continued to charge me now I’ve left you are still trying to charge me!

  • Lauren_Sberry Lauren Scott-Berry (@Lauren_Sberry) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I had some flashing green arrows on my router this morning and no internet. I reset and now have a yellow base light and still no internet. Please help

  • garythunt Gary 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧Here for the cricket. (@garythunt) reported from Islington, England

    Dear @virginmedia yet again your super duper box is dropping the sound. Getting sick of it. Your help line is next to useless #sortitout

  • someonesnan Karen Cummings (@someonesnan) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia Still hanging on 25 minutes you really care about your customer

  • pussinpjs1 linda holmes (@pussinpjs1) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I hope my account reflects that I have the tivio box as I had a total nightmare trying to explain this to customer care

  • trustintalk paul taylor (@trustintalk) reported from Paddington, England

    Sadly it doesn't just happen with Virgin Media but with most service providers (a misnomer if ever there was one).

  • MartinCox0155 Martin 'Snazzy' Cox (@MartinCox0155) reported from Croydon, England

    @MickHarkin8 @virginmedia Not talking about a new customer.

  • Barbara4003 Barbara Poole ⚽🦅 (@Barbara4003) reported from Croydon, England

    @virginmedia Netflix freezes, loses signal and then just hangs. Only way round it is to turn box off. This is a very common problem that VM seem to choose to ignore

  • Nicsboys2 Nic Foakes (@Nicsboys2) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia 4o mins into watching #AStarIsBorn and there's a problem with my mates connection on her media box... Sort this 🤬 out.... grumpy is an understatement.) Lucky there's wine or you could have 3 pissed off ladies calling you waiting to be next for the next hour!!!

  • CaptainZongo Captain Zongo (@CaptainZongo) reported from Croydon, England

    @virginmedia has to have the worst hold music for a service line on the planet. And, as a #VirginMedia customer you get to listen to it every couple of weeks. One of the pluses of being a Virgin customer!

  • pussinpjs1 linda holmes (@pussinpjs1) reported from London, England

    Can you please listen to what people are saying @virginmedia and ask if they have the right equipment for upgrades etc. I have the TV 500 but you put me down as having the V6.

  • Malcy7 Malcolm Saunders (@Malcy7) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia never use #virginmedia constantly shafting us for money for things we haven’t agreed to. 4 months in a row, 4 different things. Now denying conversations happened and won’t recall recorded calls. Disgusting for a 15yr customer.

  • yomzworld Rich Homie Yom (@yomzworld) reported from East Ham, England

    @virginmedia known outage issue was meant to be resolved by 9:15 am, is still not rectified. Now pushed to 2:15pm. Not acceptable at all

  • Barbara4003 Barbara Poole ⚽🦅 (@Barbara4003) reported from Croydon, England

    @virginmedia No - they always just ask you to do all the things we’ve already done a hundred times then say it’s not a problem with them.

  • MartinCox0155 Martin 'Snazzy' Cox (@MartinCox0155) reported from Croydon, England

    @virginmedia 2/2 you be able to supply a service at a later date.

  • peter_boxer Peter Boxer (@peter_boxer) reported from Croydon, England

    @virginmedia @Ofcom A shame indeed. This has been pretty appalling. Starting with a glitch over (IMHO) unfair charges, poor CS has led to me ending my time with you.

  • MartinCox0155 Martin 'Snazzy' Cox (@MartinCox0155) reported from Croydon, England

    @virginmedia This isn't currently affecting me, although I am a customer. I saw a friend caught by your clause. I think if you cannot supply a service when a customer moves home, you should not be charging the customer. By so doing it's highly unlikely the customer will return should 1/2

  • someonesnan Karen Cummings (@someonesnan) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia Also your response to social media is crap

  • susan_jacques Susan Jacques (@susan_jacques) reported

    @virginmedia Day 3 without broadband now :( All the service status links provided are unavailable as well. The promise yesterday of it being up and running by 5pm is long overdue... so frustrating and none of the service links provided work anymore either to check progress!

  • gocycling21 gocycling2 (@gocycling21) reported

    @virginmedia what has been going on with your broadband in SM2 over the last few weeks? (About 7 to 8mbs). Today it's down again. I would like some money back without going through your awful call centre. And for anyone else, who is a good replacement that won't cost a fortune?

  • Teens22 Christina Relf (@Teens22) reported

    @simonnread @virginmedia A colleague of mine in Bracknell has just said her Virgin media broadband is down too.

  • sallymunden1 sallymunden (@sallymunden1) reported

    @virginmedia I do cad drawings and am unable to access the servers anymore. IT have mapped them which i am then able to work on but then am having problems when xrefs are remapped. They want to know if there is some sort of software protection solution is breaking the DNS resolution.

  • Tesshan8211 Tesshan (@Tesshan8211) reported

    @virginmedia works being carried out on the line today. SMS about it sent yesterday. I work from home and I cannot even use Giffgaff as a hotspot. Working on the line there as well. No notice. You own both companies and this is ridiculous after the 48h+ outage from last week.

  • sallymunden1 sallymunden (@sallymunden1) reported

    @virginmedia Is there anything enabled on my line that might be some sort of DNS protection of forcing my devices to use a particular DNS service? If there are then can this be disabled so that they can test again from the network?

  • SteveStrategy Steve Machell (@SteveStrategy) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve not been able to find where to talk to someone about this order/missing delivery. Rather than sending the link to your help page can you pls direct me on how I can find out what is happening with this order.

  • Brasfort49 Julian Armstrong (@Brasfort49) reported

    Busy morning…, @Taxiapp_UK_ (new app because Freenow let us down) turns out to have been designed by an idiot, @virginmedia broadband is not working for the second time in four days, and we’re told its because we are old, and not up for new technology? Rubbish; needless stress

  • simonnread simon read (@simonnread) reported

    My ongoing #broadband problems with @virginmedia are continuing, with the service so inconsistent now it's virtually useless. Are there any broadband providers that can guarantee continuity of service?

  • CashQuestions Annie Shaw (@CashQuestions) reported

    @Alanol1 @simonnread @virginmedia like, I said, not a recommendation. TBH I find it astonishing service from these companies can STILL be so poor. We have huge mobile blackspots in towns. Shops can't use credit card verification. I can't get so much as a 2g signal in my kitchen 😳 Better service in darkest Peru!
