    @virginmedia Oh yeah. Nothing that explains why it keeps happening though. Fix dates are usually meaningless. Feels like we're being rationed.

    After a mammoth session on the phone to 6 of your departments to arrange interim broadband given your service failed in Nov. & won't be fixed to March I spoke to a helpful chap called David in the Customer Care Dept before I was cut off. Can you help reconnect me @virginmedia ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

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

  • BobCratchitt
    Andee Byford (@BobCratchitt) reported from Poplar, England

    @virginmedia But your hub has died and as such I cannot access my broadband, use my landline as you moved it from copper to Ethernet and the TV services are impacted as I cannot record, watch the BBC or any streaming service. In short an outage.

  • CarolB29041964
    Carol Dover (@CarolB29041964) reported from Stifford, England

    Just how **** are Virgin Media...my email was down for two evenings and probably the days as well earlier in the week, and now it's down again. Virgin Media i need to access my emails....this level of service is unacceptable. I'm paying for this crap service! @virginmedia

    Mark ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ (@markselondon) reported from Blackheath, England

    @virginmedia Broadband down again this morning in SE London, got through to customer services and they advised the outage expected to be fixed by 12th April. No compensation offered and I would have to pay a penalty to cancel my contract.

    @virginmedia Is there an outage in SW4? I checked the online status on your webpage, but it says there are no issues and yet I do not have internet at home.

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

    @virginmedia Just spouting corporate line does not improve the situation. No advanced notice, no resolution to problem, appointment missed, but if I am not here for a visit I am fined. This is very one sided for a service that has other companies wanting the business

    @virginmedia Please explain why your Virgin checker site was down too. Disgraceful

  • Ashley_Rhysss
    #AshTag (@Ashley_Rhysss) reported from Southwark, England

    The service from @virginmedia is utterly dreadful. Had Wi-Fi issues so they sent someone out to rectify. Worked for 2 days then the same issues started again. Not had working Wi-Fi for the last 3 weeks. If your thinking of going with them for tv / internet, go with someone else.

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

    @virginmedia 20 hours of being passed around your customer โ€˜careโ€™ teams and no progress. And yet I doubt this is even close to a record.

    @virginmedia awful disgusting customer service. 3 different agents 3 conflicting replies and told other were lies! What has happened to virgin? Supervisor was so rude. Didn't listen and kept interrupting me with robot replies. #terriblecustomerservice #badcustomerservice

    @virginmedia Guys it seems to me @virginmedia is the only one that has problems? My neighbour who uses โ€œtalk talkโ€ has never ever had a problem.. I am tired of @virginmedia excuses and I will leave, had enough of it thou..

    @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.

    Be careful if you ever want to cancel a @virginmedia account, I wrote to them, twice as per their T&C because you can never get through on chat or phone, they deny receipt of letters because you cant send recorded delivery so they just keep sending bills and chasing payments

    @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.

    Your website for checking status is not loading. Can you verify if there are known issues with broadband in the se3 area. Thanks @virginmedia

    @virginmedia Hello, My router doesn't seem to working properly I have all the regular things recommended but the wifi is still slow. The router is quite old can I get better one please?

  • formerprisoner_
    Reformed Prisoner (@formerprisoner_) reported

    . @virginmedia are the most useless, care-less, let down of a company in existence. If you are considering going with them for broadband. Please donโ€™t. Their technicians do half a job, cancel a thousand times and their customer support is outsourced to some foreign country.

  • ChelmsJosh21261
    Josh Chelms (@ChelmsJosh21261) reported

    @virginmedia Iโ€™m in the RG12 area and have had an intermittent connection message on the app for days. Any idea of how I can find out what the issue is and when it will be fixed? More specifics would help

  • HaveringHammer

    Iโ€™ve just been given Netflix ( I know Iโ€™m late to getting it ) by VirginMedia. The first show Iโ€™ve started watching is Breaking Bad ( I know Iโ€™m late to watching that too ) My question is should I stick with it as Iโ€™m 3 shows in and not sure what all the fuss was about yet?

  • rick_x
    rick_x (@rick_x) reported

    @virginmedia I want to make a complaint but with a paper/electronic trail, I have been trying to get a fault addressed but it has been impossible to speak to anyone hence the complaint

  • philbreadin
    Phil (@philbreadin) reported

    @virginmedia how come my bill has jumped from ยฃ55 to ยฃ72 mid contract? I understand it's April and a small price increase is expected but ยฃ17 is taking the mick. With the issues I've had lately @skytv is looking more tempting.

  • HenleyDB
    Henley (@HenleyDB) reported

    @GreyBlackstone @virginmedia They're charging me over ยฃ105 for only broadband. They're a bunch of greedy jokers. I had an issue and called them, they made things worse. I'm stuck not renewing my contract. If they mess up again, I end up paying even more but on a new contract or accidentally disconnected.

  • ConnorsOldMan
    Just Ian (@ConnorsOldMan) reported

    @virginmedia I've not sorted a new provider yet but have cancelled my virgin services already. Your company is not interested in sorting customers out with what they want, rather than making them keep a service they don't need. I was told i needed to keep my phone for Internet!

  • mkenne10
