  • fionaduggan Fiona Duggan (@fionaduggan) reported from Worthing, England

    Dear @virginmedia #VirginMedia Your customer service abilities are proper shit. With love.

  • clairewoods93 Claire Lock (@clairewoods93) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia The £5 was given as a result of my complaint. I don’t know why you kept harping on about intermittent service. I had NO SERVICE WHATSOEVER FOR 1 WHOLE WEEK!! Nothing, not a bean, no tv, no internet, so please stop saying intermittent service!!

  • mike_the_frog Mike Coombes (@mike_the_frog) reported from Shoreham-by-Sea, England

    @virginmedia He said that the box needed replacing but didn’t have time to do it. My TV is unwatchable and your customer service is shoddy.

  • fionaduggan Fiona Duggan (@fionaduggan) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia Media. And No. It was just to highlight how shit Virgin have been. And why should I repeat myself. Read up.

  • clairewoods93 Claire Lock (@clairewoods93) reported from Worthing, England

    @TheParkView1 @vmbusiness They are dreadful. We have @virginmedia and regularly use service. And have to argue to get any compensation back 😡

  • daftsidious Timothy Allen (@daftsidious) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia It might be worth putting out a tweet to tell everyone that scammers are currently trying and that you will never DM, because I totally fell for it before they asked the card deets, and I'm internet savvy. Someone else will get screwed because of that.

  • CrossMediaNet Allan Cross (@CrossMediaNet) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia no broadband or TV for five days. Recorded message on 150 says sorry for intermittent service. It's NO service. Can a human contact me please.

  • clairewoods93 Claire Lock (@clairewoods93) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia I’ve raised 2 complaints and had £5 as a goodwill gesture which is quite frankly insulting. The ofcom regulations states £8 per day for every working day after 48 hours of no service. By my calculations I should of had £24 off my bill. Fri to tues is 48 working hrs then tues-fri

  • CrossMediaNet Allan Cross (@CrossMediaNet) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia It’s day six without service. I have been speaking to your call centres who simply tell me what they see on their screens. These are the same messages that I’m getting via text. When I call 150 each day I get the same message saying normal service should resume by 4pm.

  • clairewoods93 Claire Lock (@clairewoods93) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia And yes I rang on the fri pm as soon as it went down. I rang consistently the whole week

  • katestar Katie ⚔️ (@katestar) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia I've tried rebooting it several times, and checked the cables are all secure although noone has been home all day so they've not been touched and it was working before I left but not working when we got home at 4.30pm

  • daftsidious T.Allen (@daftsidious) reported from Worthing, England

    @Switchtobetter @virginmedia To be fair, CS I've never had a problem with and I have called and tweeted a LOT. I just want my internet to work when I expect it to.

  • mike_the_frog Mike Coombes (@mike_the_frog) reported from Shoreham-by-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I’ve just been kept on hold for 40 minutes before finally speaking to a very rude and brusque operative who spent 5 minutes asking me to check the cables I’d already checked (I’m not stupid) before hanging up on me. Problem still not resolved. Appalling.

  • panda_creative Panda Creative Ltd (@panda_creative) reported from Sompting, England

    @Paul_667 @virginmedia Nope, not had that problem mate, the only problem is getting this phone line moved over, for such an easy task they do seem to be making it very VERY complicated.

  • pigletspantry1 Piglets Pantry HQ (@pigletspantry1) reported from Worthing, England

    @palewis1 Day 9 and still not resolved with constant message saying how hard they are working to fix it. Just zero #communication @virginmedia

  • clairewoods93 Claire Lock (@clairewoods93) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia It just came off my bill but I rang and expressed that it should have been more and they would look into it but I’ve not had a response. You’re going to fob me off with intermittent service but perhaps you should have sent someone round to check but then you’d have to pay out l!

  • PeterNooneComms Peter Noone (@PeterNooneComms) reported from Worthing, England

    Couldn't watch Eng v NZ game yesterday on @virginmedia because the ITV picture was appalling. Just switched on for the Wales v SA game exactly the same issue. Time to switch from this very expensive flaky service. #nothappy

  • ichbintimo Timothy Allen (@ichbintimo) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia No known issues

  • fionaduggan Fiona Duggan (@fionaduggan) reported from Worthing, England

    Please ask me about your Customer service today @virginmedia - go on. I dare you. #VirginMedia

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • timpwade Tim Wade (@timpwade) reported

    @virginmedia Partner has lodged a complaint. Still unclear if our account has been cancelled. Unacceptable to be repeatedly subject to the same questions and unable to cancel. We have been loyal customers for years but will not be returning.

  • fishingparty Stephen Cr*ss (@fishingparty) reported

    @Bob_Fischer @virginmedia @VirginMedia_TV Bit crap that like. IPlayer have it?

  • stephen11272289 stephen dunn (@stephen11272289) reported

    @virginmedia It is connected to the same network. I give up. I feel like cancelling the whole lot

  • dancastree6346 robert smith (@dancastree6346) reported

    @virginmedia expect it says someone will contact me in 10 days 8 weeks later stilll no contact hence why i sent you the tweet thinking you could help

  • MGMandibles MandyGandhiMandibles🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 ♿ (@MGMandibles) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, Sorry to get back to you later than anticipated. There has been an emergency in my street, and I have to go out until later this afternoon. Would it be easier to contact again Monday?

  • Charley26820327 Charley (@Charley26820327) reported

    @virginmedia I have an engineer booked for tomorrow. I spoke to an agent on the phone. Apparently its normal to have these issues. Not 5 times in 2 months it's not !

  • chillglos Claire Hill (@chillglos) reported

    @virginmedia I wanted to cancel and was talked into staying. Why can’t anyone ring me?? I really don’t have an hour to waste whilst I wait for call to be answered

  • DanielIgnorante El Ignorante Habló (@DanielIgnorante) reported

    @virginmedia That's the problem, I called 2 times at that number and the call was cutted 2 times. On second call I thing I was close to have what I want (renew my 100Mb contract with the winter offer of 27£, we are paying 45!!), but one moment I was put w8ing again and the call was cutted

  • Fuck_Puppy **** Puppy (@Fuck_Puppy) reported

    @CollegeJocks @virginmedia @LutzSchueler I would say time for a new box, demand one, if they refuse you can early terminate with out a penilty as they not providing the service also request back you previous subs, then just take out a new contract and get a new box. Or go to ofcom, its been over days.

  • rightleftdivide Kev (Swansea) (@rightleftdivide) reported

    Regretting my decision to stick with @virginmedia for my broadband. They are awful and their customer service is non-existent!!
