  • EreiraS steven ereira (@EreiraS) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia It was from broadband team the gentleman name was Robert. He was not listening to anything I had to say he was beginning to annoy me so I had to put the phone down before I said something I would regret

  • nisbig10 philip gibson (@nisbig10) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia what an absolutely shocking service , on and off the phone from 11:00 am until 22:00 regarding my broadband service , nobody has a clue to what’s happening , been given completely conflicting information and website giving false information #offcom will receive copy

  • EreiraS steven ereira (@EreiraS) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I called several times about my broadband to be promised a manager would telephone me back no one never did then you call me back asking for more money not good customer service don't you think

  • JamesMarsh1974 James Marsh (@JamesMarsh1974) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia You are, as ever, not admitting any service issues. Have run your tests through the site and restarted my entire home network.

  • Dave_Deb Dave Debenham (@Dave_Deb) reported from Eltham, England

    @virginmedia Hi... I've been on the phone to tech support and they have tried to register me with no joy. I was simply told that the system is down and they couldn't help.

  • MrGarySmith Gary Brian Smith (@MrGarySmith) reported from City of London, England

    F**king typical! I’ve trying to get a @virginmedia engineer to come and fix our limited BB for weeks and an engineer turns up to fix our phone lines... which we didn’t even ask for. But he found a fault! At the virgin end... which doesn’t surprise me one bit. #useless #fuckwits

  • EreiraS steven ereira (@EreiraS) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I telephone back in June to report an issue only to be fobbed off by one of your call representatives. Then I telephoned again in August because my issue had got worse to be promised a manager will call me back on several occasions no one did.

  • lynners2 mrsbobie (@lynners2) reported from Camden Town, England

    @Campaignmag @aandeddb You can do anything @virginmedia except speak to a human at your customer support centre

  • EreiraS steven ereira (@EreiraS) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I have been with you for 7 years now and each time I think this service is getting worse and worse depending on who you speak to

  • JillStanford7 Jill Stanford (@JillStanford7) reported from Lambeth, England

    @virginmedia The fee is to change my husbands name (which actually has wrong initials) to mine as I have always paid for it and dealt with it. You also want to close down account and start another with new direct debits!!

  • EreiraS steven ereira (@EreiraS) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Yes and my hardwired connection was terrible as well paying for 350mb was only receiving between 40 and 70 MB on download. The Wi-Fi I resolve with my £400 mesh system

  • JamesMarsh1974 James Marsh (@JamesMarsh1974) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia Just check area 22 for problems, please.

  • NikHunt_ Nik Hunt (@NikHunt_) reported from Paddington, England

    @virginmedia Checked earlier - no faults found on the auto test. Also rebooted router to no avail. Issues affecting both WiFi and cabled connections, as well as the video on demand apps on the TiVo (amazon prime video was slow and laggy)

  • cheryl_peril Cheryl Ewan (@cheryl_peril) reported from Bromley, England

    @richsnelling It doesn’t help that our Virgin Media is out of action. Long story and not their fault.

  • EreiraS steven ereira (@EreiraS) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia It seems ok the last few times I have checked it, but the whole point of this is that several months have passed with poor service poor management and me getting not the service I am paying for. Only time you want to telephone is when you want more money

  • Binaryfunction BinaryFunction (@Binaryfunction) reported

    @virginmedia Customers having issues when using a VPN over a Virgin connection is not on your script and therefore you have no idea what to advise. I advise you raise this as a P1 incident to your Level 3 engineers immediately please.

  • tsj06 Stanly Thomas (@tsj06) reported

    @virginmedia another day of internet issues working from home. Is it your network or is it my modem? Can i get a new modem?

  • Mark_Phillips66 Mark Phillips (@Mark_Phillips66) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia Your phone line told me you are working in our area and that signal will be affected until 3pm. Completely unacceptable.

  • RIDESURFCOFFEE Alternative Fecks (@RIDESURFCOFFEE) reported

    @virginmedia Can you please tell me where I can log a complaint on your rather unhelpful website please. I do not want to be paying this much for intermittent service.

  • philip49409275 philip (@philip49409275) reported

    @virginmedia are you having trouble with the virgin mobile website looking getting a phone with you i get as far as adding to basket and i am getting secured connection failed

  • seanleek sean leek (@seanleek) reported

    @virginmedia can send an engineer in an emergency to our neighbour as the socket isn’t straight on the wall.... but can’t send one to activate services. There are 2 vans in my street now why do we need to wait until 24th when hardware already in house?

  • ONLYONEGIBBO GIBBO (@ONLYONEGIBBO) reported

    @virginmedia After 2 hours on the phone to @SkyUK they told me they would call me back as it’s an issue with them, you and @OpenreachHelp - they didn’t ring me back

  • baltrouxa 😾 (@baltrouxa) reported

    @virginmedia hi how do i cancel an order???

  • Egssssssss Ellie (@Egssssssss) reported

    @virginmedia Internet has gone down several times this week. You keep forcing me to go into the office during a pandemic because you're failing to provide the service I'm paying for. Service status says it won't be fixed until tomorrow. Broke today, broke yesterday and broke the days before.

  • RIDESURFCOFFEE Alternative Fecks (@RIDESURFCOFFEE) reported

    @virginmedia Yep tried the steps on your website. Again it's gone down this morning just now. Seems to be around this time each day. This is a fibre connection right into the property. BT copper cable was slower yes but never this inconsistent with connection!
