    @virginmedia Every night I lose internet, I might just stop the direct debit and see how long it takes you to fix that?

  • Ianharwooduk Ian Harwood (@Ianharwooduk) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia No just virgin being terrible. Hence why I want to leave

  • RanjanMallya Ranjan Mallya (@RanjanMallya) reported from Croydon, England

    @virginmedia I have been a long time customer. Is this the service you offer?

  • rob_green86 Rob Green Jnr (@rob_green86) reported from Poplar, England

    @virginmedia Yea I do that and it says to reboot my Hub 3. Which I do and then get 15mb for 2 mins and then back to 4mb. Can you please DM me with a link to online tech support because I've already wasted 3 hours this week trying to get through on the phone.

  • Ianharwooduk Ian Harwood (@Ianharwooduk) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia No just virgin being terrible. Hence why I want to leave. This is not just a one off. We have had these issues for months and your customer service is terrible as well. So I have had enough

  • maxbhill Max (@maxbhill) reported from Croydon, England

    @virginmedia Is this really the standard of service you think is acceptable

  • realjonconnor 🔥Jon Connor (No not that one) (@realjonconnor) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia It's not even about that. Even when there are no faults. I still get lag and disconnection issues. Very frustrating

  • adammcilrick Adam McIlrick (@adammcilrick) reported from Camden Town, England

    Hey @VirginMediaCorp and @virginmedia ... we waited for your engineer today - rearranged work schedules/meetings. Nothing. No call. No text. No email. No show! DM for our remedy number - this is absolutely #atrocious #customerservice. The #complaint will be escalated if no reply.

  • invisiblehive Pocket Tips (@invisiblehive) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia worst service now. Paying for a TiVo box and have had no wifi or TV working for nearly 9 months now. Have tried a booster now cannot get through to cs.

  • Ianharwooduk Ian Harwood (@Ianharwooduk) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia Supposed to have a 350 meg line. We get speeds of 20 Meg. The router keeps freezing. The router doesn’t reach all the rooms in the house. Internet connection drops regularly. Basically anything that could go wrong does. Terrible.

  • Ianharwooduk Ian Harwood (@Ianharwooduk) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia Your broadband is terrible. I am suppose to have 350meg and it is under 20 on speed test. Your customer service team are incompetent at best. Being told I was being put on hold while they try and sort the broadband out and the agent never came back and didn’t call me back either

  • Ianharwooduk Ian Harwood (@Ianharwooduk) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia Terrible. Please have someone call me so I can leave as I have wasted 1.5 hours on hold trying to get through to do this

  • tonywiseman1976 Tony Wiseman (@tonywiseman1976) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia The auto response system is terrible & apparently someone should have responded to my refund query & guess what? No one has bothered.

  • Joshbratt87 Joshua B (@Joshbratt87) reported from Camden Town, England

    As previously stated, anyone thinking of getting @virginmedia don't! They lie, never answer calls and don't turn up when promised. Utter crap from start to finish, all while their tax evading owner @richardbranson sits on some private Island reaping the benefits. Dog 💩 company

  • RanjanMallya Ranjan Mallya (@RanjanMallya) reported from Croydon, England

    @virginmedia I managed to speak to the customer services after 20 odd minutes of holding the line. I have changed my plan but yet to receive an email confirmation though!

  • pauldurie p2.0 ✊🏻 🏳️‍🌈 #BLM (@pauldurie) reported from London, England

    @PippaCrerar @virginmedia If you're using a Virgin router I would buy another one as they're useless Main issue I found was they don't switch between 2.4GHz/5GHz very well If you want stronger signal then switch off 5GHz

  • Ianharwooduk Ian Harwood (@Ianharwooduk) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia I don’t need the app. I know there are black spots as I no signal in certain rooms. Are you trying to wind me up. As I have already said I am leaving. Direct debit has been cancelled and I have notified you in writing via this channel as no other way to contact you

  • Ianharwooduk Ian Harwood (@Ianharwooduk) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia Everything. Broadband is terrible. Slow. Unreliable. Your customer service is terrible. I am cancelling the direct debit now. I was on hold for over 1 hour trying to leave

  • tonywiseman1976 Tony Wiseman (@tonywiseman1976) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I have better things to do with my time than phoning @virginmedia The system should pick up on this. Virgin’s system is quick to chase me regarding the return of a bloody hub. Absolutely atrocious service.

  • RanjanMallya Ranjan Mallya (@RanjanMallya) reported from Croydon, England

    Dear @virginmedia Your contact us chat service online isn't working either!!!!

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • SimonJD75 Simon dilley (@SimonJD75) reported

    @virginmedia Good morning, When we rang to take your TV service (already have phone and broadband) we arranged on 28/11 and confirmed the date 11/12. We then rang again on Wednesday 9/12 to check installation date and the agent confirmed 11/12. Really angry as my wife took leave from work.

  • SimonJD75 Simon dilley (@SimonJD75) reported

    @virginmedia I Have been a customer for a number of years. We nearly went with @skytv 2 weeks ago, I think I will probably now will.

  • LittleKingSim Little King Sim (@LittleKingSim) reported

    @virginmedia @CMSENSZE Haha, and mid February is as quick as you can fix things? How pathetic, ESPECIALLY now when so many people at working from home. If I were your customer I’d leave within contract, you’re clearly not meeting your end of the contract so good luck pursuing me for the amounts left.

  • katy_morris Katy Morris (@katy_morris) reported

    @virginmedia No internet service in TW9 since yesterday lunchtime. Your website says "no known issues" but 151 says engineers are working on a "really complicated" problem, without giving any timeline. When will we have internet again?

  • liza_rees Liza Rees (@liza_rees) reported

    @virginmedia Our broadband installation has been pushed back by over 2 weeks. I’m due to host a virtual company wide event so need internet. Customer services have been awful! I am told different information & lied to daily. I need to speak to someone urgently! @MoneyTelegraph

  • j394_ . (@j394_) reported

    @virginmedia absolute shocking service. I’ve been trying to contact yourselves for the last 3 days and I’ve been waiting an hour each time. 100% leaving now, I’ll just probably cancel my direct debit with you if this continues.

  • LindaSWilkinson Linda Wilkinson (@LindaSWilkinson) reported

    @catherine_mayer @virginmedia Advise Zen it never goes down unless BT line is compromised

  • mh_raza Haider Raza (@mh_raza) reported

    @virginmedia No...but even if they give explanation it wouldn't help me. I can't be without internet for the next 3 months. I have to find another service provider. @virginmedia I need my contract terminated without penalty. I should rather get refund as your service has been beyond worse.

  • LloydGHale Lloyd Hale (@LloydGHale) reported

    @virginmedia We’ve got that number and already called and have taken all recommended actions which we’d already tried anyway and are just going round in circles- you need to send an engineer out surely? What sort of service is this?

  • steveharvey8 steve harvey (@steveharvey8) reported

    @virginmedia can you please explain to me why for the last 12 months your phone lines are completely automated using the covid excuse an internet and phone company cant seem to set its staff up at home ? Ive had the worst years service off you nothing but problems
