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

    @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.

    @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.

    Apologies for the stream interruption last night folks- @virginmedia my ISP is dealing with a large service outage. Hopefully back up tonight!

    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.

    @virginmedia I don’t need to check it you guys have to check not me ! This horrible internet has been playing up for sometime and again today!!! All I want t know is when are you going to fix it?

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

    @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 I’ve now had to call again myself because the end of the business day is here and nobody ever called me back. What’s the resolution when nobody ever calls when they promise to?

    DragonFish 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇮🇹 (@discobabe76) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia 1/ I've been without internet access since last night. I called this morning at 830 and did reset as told, didn't work so was told it'd be passed on to network engineers and they'd get back to me if it didn't come back on within the hour.

    @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.

    @vmbusiness outage estimated fix date is 20/09. What planet are you lot on?

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

    Time to ditch @vmbusiness I think, unreliable service & weak support

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

    @vmbusinesshelp @vmbusiness Ah, so when there will be nothing to do or see you will become interested, is that the customer service ethos at VMB? Staggering, but not surprising

    @Barclays why do I keep getting Error Code: 30915? I’ve been trying to log into my account for a LONG while now!! Coz of not having access @virginmedia have been stealing DD from my account even though I no lover have a subscription with them! Pls fix this b4 more money is taken!

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

    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 you are swapping from Analog to Digital phone service. Can you guarantee T38 fax protocol will work as before? and yes fax machines are still used.

  • CryptoPoli
    Poli 🤌 (@CryptoPoli) reported

    @richardbranson your company has THE WORST customer service ever! Total loss of internet for nearly 1 month, multiple missed engineer appointments, incorrect information, multiple escalations and I still have no idea when it'll be resolved! @virginmedia Absolutely the worst!!

  • PickleSchmickle
    Pickle (@PickleSchmickle) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve been trying to contact you for 3 days, to replace a hub as the current one has no power and the power cord that is broken seemingly doesn’t exist for a Hub 4. No internet for 4 days. What do you suggest we do next to get someone’s attention? #virginmedia

    @ArrEssVeeTwin @jen_moxon @virginmedia I only signed up last year as Virgin had & still do, the fastest broadband in area & I needed to handle the data, I knew this day would come though with their customer services.

  • arvey86
    CJH1883 (@arvey86) reported

    @virginmedia are crooks, taking advantage of a vulnerable person. Sold a product never set up as no engineer arrived after numerous requests. Calling to try and bully them into a paying for a service they cancelled that was not fit for purpose, disgusting scum.

  • BBCTomEdwards

    attend later in order to connect the fibre optic cable. No engineer attended and today we have had to contact virgin media 3 times by telephone to find out what is happening.Despite being told earlier in the day the issue was being escalated and we would receive an update

    wendyh (@wendyhemsworth) reported

    @virginmedia our internet is down as is our neighbours. Online it says issue with our hub but followed all instructions and still says issue. Online says no outages but both ours and neighbours are down. They have engineer booked for tomorrow but I need internet now
