  • AdamHMatthews
    Adam H-Matthews (@AdamHMatthews) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia How does £8.40 a day cover 2 people unable to work for a full day? Still no contact from Virgin engineer or any comment on what the issue is? The time to fix the issue just keeps getting later.

  • DogAteMyWookie
    Mr Wookie aka Cliff (@DogAteMyWookie) reported from Croydon, England

    Hey @virginmedia when are people in the CR0 postcode going to get their Internet back? It's been down since lunch? Any ETA? Need to plan if I need to go to the office tomorrow instead.

    Dr Andrew Fleming 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Andrew007Uk) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia I performed the reset, it still does not recognise the code. Very disappointed. On Wednesday I wasted 3 hours on the phone talking to 13 of your people one of whom brazenly told me to fix all issues I must buy an upgrade. I am sorry to say the whole experience is abysmal 💔

  • appariciojunior
    AJ (@appariciojunior) reported from East Ham, England

    Checked the speed and 150mb I cant. It can be foolish of me but 150? I cant for real. 900mb minimum, my house moves are planned based on fiber connectivity. ps: 150mb from virgin media hahahhahahhahaha everyday in the phone screaming with customer service, nope im good

    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

  • 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

  • Phil_Swallow
    Philip 🦅 (@Phil_Swallow) reported from Croydon, England

    @redheadlass1402 @virginmedia We’ve got the business service but it’s no better. They don’t seem to have any proactive monitoring or fault prevention and pretty much don’t care. They have a 3 hour service level that passed 12 hours ago, totally useless bunch of money-grabbers

  • JosephS65112253
    Joseph Sweeney (@JosephS65112253) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia I’m going into my 5 week of problems with this crap company they say they will investigate but nothing, no compensation nothing.

    @virginmedia It’s now showing there is a problem. It’s been going on for 3 days now being very intermittent but only just started showing there was a problem this morning

    Illy Mus 💙 (@illymus) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia so you hike our prices up and then the Internet has been awful today. Left home at 6am, just got home and still the same issue. Our landline relies on Internet and so does my 83 year old mother who uses it. Remind me what I am paying for???

    @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.

    Frankie Smith (@frankiesmith74) reported

    @virginmedia you have failed to install broadband at my new property as part of home move service. I have been promised engineers will attend each day for last 3 days - no sign! I’ve asked for updates - nothing! I’ve been told I’ll be contacted by Area Manager - nothing! Terrible

  • AndyRFCCharman
    @andycrfc.bsky.social (@AndyRFCCharman) reported

    Just spent best part of day trying to sort out issues with @British_Airways & @virginmedia Both seem to be competing for ‘Worst Customer Service’ award although BA winning because I’m at least speaking more or less real time with a human at VM, albeit making little progress!

  • mastersdog
    master P (@mastersdog) reported

    @CheekyVic @virginmedia They r all the same. Was with Sky for 25 years now with Virgin. Not the best customer support

  • alexalexfyi
    Alexander McCloy (@alexalexfyi) reported

    @Ofcom @virginmedia tactics still awful when trying to leave - harassing with calls that are irrelevant and could be emailed. Agents saying ‘no’ to requests to raise complaints and spoken to in appalling manor.

  • KellyKilner
    Kelly Kilner (@KellyKilner) reported

    @virginmedia that awful time again when I’m trying to speak to someone and get cut off. Twice …why is your service so appalling???

  • Torexeon
    Torexeon (@Torexeon) reported

    @wrighty1707 @virginmedia It was me who suggested this when I worked for them. I designed it to get you on the phone to retentions, because a huge percentage of customers would just sit out of contract or complain online about astronomical pricing. Granted not every customer is able to get a decent deal.

  • andybearz
    dEBT shredder (@andybearz) reported

    @robert_grieve @virginmedia Yup Terrible customer service Seems to be once they have you signed up they no longer give a ****
