    Hayley Garrod (@GRODSTER) reported from Leicestershire, England

    Why do Virgin Media have to choose today of all days to 'improve' our service and leave us without any broadband or TV for the next 'few' hours 🙈 It had better be fixed and up and running in time for the England match or I will not be happy!! #Lionesses #FIFAWWC #Eng #ENGUSA

    @virginmedia I’ve already spoken to your tech team yesterday hence the engineer visit booked. But we be never used a service where I’ve had so many outages Ever. In 20 years of internet usage. Your company is an embarrassment. .As soon as my contract is up I’ll just survive on mobile data

    Robert-John Edwards (@rjedwards_btone) reported from Melton Mowbray, England

    @virginmedia Nope. Wasn’t given one. See what I mean about the quality of the service. :-(

    Joshua Swatman (@JoshSwatz) reported from Leicestershire, England

    *******!! Got an email saying my virgin media bill is 78 quid that ain't right.. That's almost 30 quid more than I've ever paid.

  • rjedwards_btone
    Robert-John Edwards (@rjedwards_btone) reported from Melton Mowbray, England

    @virginmedia Oh and I’ve just spoken to your tech team after holding for half an hour. Apparently it’s going to be down for 5 DAYS!!!! FIIIVVE!!!!!!! I’m done. I can’t even get through to cancellations.

    Pete Martin Photography (@PeteMartinPhot1) reported from Leicestershire, England

    Amazing, @virginmedia Internet was down today from 9am. I phoned to get an update at 4pm, and also ask why my bill keeps going up.. The lady on the phone literally drove me away to another provider. I just signed up with @EE

    Darren Carson (@DarrenCarson68) reported from Corby, England

    @virginmedia @Wee_Linz_ I've rang and all it says is a problem in your area, ring back in 30 mins, I had a text from your team at 09:22am saying the service was fixed

  • rjedwards_btone
    Robert-John Edwards (@rjedwards_btone) reported from Melton Mowbray, England

    @virginmedia Because this internet I pay for with blood doesn’t work I’ve got to wait till Tuesday for an engineer and I’ve waiting months to watch the Indy500 and Monaco GP. I paid MONEY to watch them. And can I speak to a British call centre and get customer relations. Can I hell!!!

  • NickFitz
    Nick Fitzsimons (@NickFitz) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia Cheers. I’m not really that fussed about upgrades at the mo, but it occurred to me that your website’s been broken for, as I recall, about eight years, and maybe I should draw it to your attention :-) Have a good day!

  • 7240Wood
    Darren Wood (@7240Wood) reported from Corby, England

    @virginmedia Finally answered after 18 minutes. Very long time to wait also have had a fault with my V6 box . Have arranged for a technician to come out and fix it.

  • rjedwards_btone
    Robert-John Edwards (@rjedwards_btone) reported from Melton Mowbray, England

    @virginmedia 1/2. Sadly it hasn’t solved the issue. I find myself again on a Saturday afternoon without Internet. I was going to use it to watch the champions league final with my now heartbroken 8 year old son!!! Technical team hung up on me!!! I’m appalled!!! Disgusting behaviour. ....

  • BigBaldChris2
    BigBaldChris (@BigBaldChris2) reported

    Another marketing call from @virginmedia despite having asked a number of times to be removed from their list. When I said I now wanted to make a complaint, they then hang up… - is this how #dataprotection works? @ICOnews #removeme

  • Smeod
    Sharon (@Smeod) reported

    @BernardThresher @virginmedia @virginmedia has the worst customer service ever. They make you wonder whether you'd rather live without broadband! Appalling. I also had 5 hr convo. Nothing was resolved. Made a complaint in writing. Resolution after 10 day wait was to call customer services!!! Case closed. Grr

  • DMO_GB
    DMO_GB (@DMO_GB) reported

    Utter incompetence at .@virginmedia movers team. Each person u speak to says previous person made a mistake but THEY can fix it! They don’t. And the next person says the same thing. Again & again, no help and no fix @ofcom

  • Fullmet4lKitty
    KITTY 🌿 (@Fullmet4lKitty) reported

    @virginmedia But I get that every day. And because it’s okay again when it reaches 24hours it resets. Last night it said the link was down for maintenance so I couldn’t even try it. Honestly I’ve not had one full day where there hasn’t been an issue so far. It’s horrendous.

  • oh_so_boatie
    Jessica Boatright (@oh_so_boatie) reported from Lincoln District, England

    @virginmedia Yes, issues showing. I've had to go to a cafe to work - so now as well as lost hours of income I'm down bus fare and refreshments so that I can use the the WiFi.

  • Gazoona
    Galoona (@Gazoona) reported

    @virginmedia your service checker reports no broadband issues in my area. My router confirms I have no internet access. I’ve called your helpline but I just get told to switch the router on & off, then the call ends 🙃 how am I meant to get this resolved if I can’t talk to you?
