    @virginmedia very disappointed at the terrible service myself and my mother received recently #poor #rude #virginmedia

    @kellysharman19 @virginmedia If it’s not sorted today, I’m out. They can stuff their contract and any fees they’d expect me to pay!! It’s just a shame that @SkyUK are quite expensive for the stuff we want and I find they never look after existing customers

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

    @virginmedia It’s an ongoing issue, we’re 5 days in of no service. Just a joke now 😂. @SkyUK all you had to do was keep prices reasonable and not lose loads of football to bt and we’d be right back with you!!

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

    Right @virginmedia it’s Friday! I expect to fully be back up and running by this afternoon as promised numerous times. If not you get someone to my house to sort it this weekend, no more crap promises down the phone! #majorlyfedupnow

    @leylatov @NadsShad @virginmedia The service really is very poor. I would definitely think twice if I were you. It's like it doesn't matter that we can't work etc Nobody calls you back and there us never a swift resolution. I'm so fed up today I could cry!

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

    I feel like all I do is ring big companies up constantly to be fobbed off about their terrible service & amounts of money they’re taking off me for that service. It’s a joke. @virginmedia and @SSE Im talking about you.Joke both of you 😡. #pissedoff #anotherdaywithnotvorinternet

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

    Yet more problems @virginmedia had 3 weeks of good service before going tits up again. Oh and I got a full bill when I was due compensation for and I had to ring up and rectify. You really are a crappy company

  • steveleppard
    stephen leppard (@steveleppard) reported from Shoreham-by-Sea, England

    When you’re on the phone to @virginmedia for 10 minutes before someone answers, then because you’re leaving they stick you on hold for another half hour (and counting) so they don’t have to deal with it. #complaint #fedup #ihavethingstodo

    Just realised my direct debit goes out today. But your department that deals with taking payments hasn’t been down for the last 4 days. Funny that 😬 @virginmedia

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

    You’ve really done it now @virginmedia, another day no service and gra can’t watch the Chelsea game 😤

  • mel_shad
    💀☠Mel Shad ☠💀 (@mel_shad) reported from Shoreham-by-Sea, England

    @virginmedia @NadsShad 1) you didn't notify customers that there were intermittent problems 2) your customer service line operative was very unconcerned about it when we called 3) we are home workers and need dependable services 4) yours are not dependable and nobody who works for you seems to care!

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

    @GeorgiaCorke @virginmedia Exactly why we left @SkyUK Shane as their service is really good. Virgin is cheaper and good packages but the service can be so up and down. They won’t send an engineer because it’s a fault in area not my equipment but a week to fix is an absolute travesty of a service!

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

    @virginmedia It’s broadband and tv. All I can do is watch recorded shows. Can’t even get bbc itv etc. All I’m told is there’s a complex problem in the area but other people I know seem to have problems with either the tv or internet and nowhere as bad as ours. Extremely frustrating

  • mel_shad
    💀☠Mel Shad ☠💀 (@mel_shad) reported from Shoreham-by-Sea, England

    @leylatov @virginmedia Honestly this is pretty standard. As you are in the same area, you could even start out with this 'intermittent untraceable local fault' and have no service too! As far as I can tell, they are so big, they don't care about individual customers or holding onto their custom.

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

    @virginmedia A few hours I understand but 4 days and counting is not on. No one seems to be able to give a reliable account of what the actual problem is and when it will be sorted. Just fobbed off constantly. You’ve probably been the most helpful so far.

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

    @Fatboypops @virginmedia Mum and dad had problems with them too! Sky are by far the best just as shame they never look after existing customers which is why we left x

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

    Well done @virginmedia, everything down again and I’m told 24-48 hours until it’s fixed. On the opening weekend of the new premier league season. Magic 🙄😤

  • khawes
    Kate Hawes (@khawes) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @JessicaOOTC @virginmedia Used to have @virginmedia internet here in Brighton but it was consistently terrible. Far fewer problems with Sky.

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

    @virginmedia I just want someone out to check my equipment and sort it. No one else I know nearby who has virgin are having half as many issues as we are. You’ve got my money now come and sort my problem out. It’s been 4 days!

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

    @virginmedia Done all of this, nothing works, the check my status is useless as it says there’s no broadband issues but when I ring up I’m told there is.

    Hey @virginmedia where can i get one of your broadband pods or booster? There is no way i can buy from your website or speak to your team. Calling your customer service is like going down a rabbit hole.

  • FarazHafez
    Faraz Hafez (@FarazHafez) reported

    @virginmedia Just my street/area for some bizarre reason. Been working fine for 4 years but since 4th January this year it’s been like this. I have 2 sims on my account and both have same issue

    Maxwell Gillespie (@MaxwellGillesp1) reported

    @tommyinnit Your landlord is like “if problem call on the magic telephone of dialling” also if you need an adapter for the wall they’re really cheap and if you need an adapter for the router if it’s virgin media then there’s always an adapter in the box for the router

  • RoyHallett14

    @virginmedia No I did not and I really don’t want to spend an hour on the phone again, can you help?

    Amber G👑 (@ambertothecore) reported

    3rd time in 2 weeks without broadband for over 24 hrs @virginmedia @VMSolutions_ Was promised never again by your customer service - but it has. I'm not happy.

  • DrBWilliamson
    Beth Williamson (@DrBWilliamson) reported

    @virginmedia Not new customer but new to My Virgin Media. Will try again in a few days. Thanks

  • b67dazza
    B67 dazza (@b67dazza) reported

    @virginmedia Yes and I'm on the phone bang on 8 o'clock when you open and 20 minutes in still no answer it is becoming a comedy of errors on your part

  • ambertothecore
    Amber G👑 (@ambertothecore) reported

    @virginmedia They ran checks and said the hub isn't showing signs of being online which is why the technician has been booked. The green light is flashing my end. Last time this happened (last weekend) and the time before (the week before that) it was due to an outage lasting 3 days.
