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

    @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

    @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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

    @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!

  • Slater1Jess Jess Slater (@Slater1Jess) reported from Hove, England

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

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

    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

  • 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 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!!

  • joesuxx joe🍑 (@joesuxx) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    Trying to cancel my @virginmedia and the guy on the phone is driving rhe hardest sale and its making me so uncomfortable 👏you👏are👏doing👏the👏opposite👏of👏customer👏retention👏

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

    @McGiff @virginmedia OMG they are the worst! We had no service for a week last month 😤

  • 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

    @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

    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

    @virginmedia I have just had broadband installed in my home only to be told by the engineer that it is not working as your service is down and he didn't know when it would be resolved. Can you shed any light?

  • en_dutts Nicola Dutton (@en_dutts) reported

    @virginmedia Hi there, I’ve raised this issue 4 or 5 times with your text message team and still no one has called me from the field team to resolve this. I’ve been informed it was escalated. It was first raised 4 December. Please could you help get the proper attention from the field team

  • dannydaman9 Daniel Smith (@dannydaman9) reported

    @virginmedia absolute joke of a service. Internet down since Sunday. Calling everyday to sort out internet out speaking to Indians with a major language barrier. Causing arguments in the household all because of your ******* negligence

  • pjnall Grumpyoldtroll (@pjnall) reported

    No crowd sounds on Virgin Media. Horrible.
