    @virginmedia I've got no internet and calling 150... Says offices are closed?! Can't access live chat! Won't let me log in! What awful customer service is this?! How do I get through to someone??

    @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 😢 A search on line suggests the problem is not unique. I have one hour to call the manufacturer if you advice.

    mark (@PieFaceMark) reported from Poplar, England

    Absolute nightmare with @virginmedia arranging new package. Since agreeing package deal yesterday I've received FOUR different emails telling me I'm gonna be paying four different amounts, all higher than what was agreed. Absolutely terrible customer service and real headache

    @Marcroy_Smith @virginmedia Same here and customer service not available either

  • PJacksonClark
    #TeamParkinsons Paul (@PJacksonClark) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia Thanks KF for your speedy reply. But since "Frankie Bot" and I started chatting three hours ago via customer service chat I've been left waiting. Is that as good as it gets?

    @virginmedia Hi No broadband service in CB113HG Can you please tell me what the issue is.

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

    @virginmedia No effort is made to rectify the problem they just want to change to VOIP with no regard to a customer who spends over £1200 a bear for all devices, I wonder what offcom would think

  • gorgeousuk
    anne hill (@gorgeousuk) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia My husband has called because he is the account holder and has a Virgin phone. Virgin apparently will call tonight/tomorrow morning. However, my feeling now is that your service will work for a time and then will go bad, there is a pattern.

  • eviemae239
    Ben Rogers (@eviemae239) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia wi-fi down yet again for about the 5th time this week. Constantly going down over last few weeks as well, absolute shambles.

  • mrkinski
    Tony Kinson (@mrkinski) reported from Bexleyheath, England

    After the long outage overnight, @virginmedia was back online but is now down again. Any chance of you fixing it before we all need our connection for work in the morning? Asking for all your disgruntled customers. #VirginMediaDown

    @virginmedia what’s going on again with this internet at sw4? You just can’t fix a problem? Please don’t come up with your usual excuses and fix itttttt..

    @IanSlaterPhoto1 @VixThatRuns I have a sizeable Samsung. Ditched Virgin Media, the plan was to have Freeview. The tv doesn’t support Freeview!

  • declan1968
    Declan Higgins ☘ (@declan1968) reported from Southwark, England

    @virginmedia What does an area outage mean? I pay Virgin about £150 a month for services. This is over the odds but I thought I was getting a reliable service and so went with it.

  • befitat50
    Befitat50 (@befitat50) reported from Lambeth, England

    You still have not fixed the internet at Sw4 @virginmedia ???? What do you reckon your subscribers think of you? Good or bad ???

  • nicktippett
    Nick Tippett (@nicktippett) reported from Croydon, England

    @virginmedia Might I add that the last handler in pre install stated he was a 'senior' and he was incredibly rude, talking over me and trying to tell me what my problem was!

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

    This is what I get for being a customer for over 8 continuous years and then 5 years before that. This is awful customer service by Virgin media. #Virginmedia @virginmedia

    Virgin media Im going into my 5 week of no service with virgin media all they do is say we will investigate and nothing really poor service

  • strutcakes
    Chris 🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺 (@strutcakes) reported from Lambeth, England

    Called Virgin Media to complain about the TV box not working and to get it removed from my package. Somehow ended up singing another 18 month contract with the TV box included but at a reduced price. Not ideal but not horrendous.

  • WhiskyOneIce
    Mark 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@WhiskyOneIce) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia Obviously i don't have proof because your site doesn't say send recorded so why would i, my number was ported in July and I wrote same time, I have no reason to not send letter and you can see from any data usage that I stopped using your service

  • timhyson
    Tim Hyson (@timhyson) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia 20 hours of being passed around your customer ‘care’ teams and no progress. And yet I doubt this is even close to a record.

    Pete Bradbury (@PeteBradders) reported

    @virginmedia @CriticalRole @LessThanJake I have been a customer of yours for 25 years and upon the most recent contract renewal, you denied the package I opted for because it was for 'new customers only' and then went on to charge me with a bill for £124! A colossal 34% increase! Loyalty means nothing!

    Isla (@saoirseisla) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve been without wifi for 10 days. All I am being told is that they don’t know when it’ll be fixed. I work from home and have been unable to get anything done because I need wifi. I’m a week behind. I need it fixing asap. The problem isn’t my end it’s yours.

    @joshstirz No one I play with gets the issue just assumed you was on virgin media aswell interesting , no fibre available in my area so I guess I’m just handing out free wins / map leads vs west players forever now

  • loldiplo
    Diplo (@loldiplo) reported

    @virginmedia Do you not think the first thing I checked was your website for checked outages and all you tell me to do is book an engineer which you then tell me I have too wait another 2 days to get one??? So that’s 3 days of service you’re not providing of which I pay for.

    @virginmedia Right, I’ve tried calling these things. None worked Which suggests it’s an app issue.

    @virginmedia no broadband service in B63 3RF area west midlands what's going on?

  • kevinclarknw
    Kevin Clark (@kevinclarknw) reported

    @virginmedia Not good enough, I'm afraid. This is just the latest outage in recent weeks. The siuation appears to be getting worse, not better. We are paying for a service you are not providing and incurring additional costs through being unable to work from home.
