    @SimonHendy @virginmedia Get it on everything! What chance I get @virginmedia to help out or do I spend my whole Sunday night with the supermarkets?

  • cjossy
    Joss (@cjossy) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia As slow as your broadband speed

  • indiointernet
    Brian Roe (@indiointernet) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    Thank you @virginmedia? The outage fix will carry on for an additional 12 hours. You really know how to provide a great service, don't you? Well, not for me you don't. You've properly messed up my ability to have my work published tomorrow, thus, loss of business. #unimpressed

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

    @virginmedia I’m being forced to contact you this way as 150 has been engaged since I tried calling yesterday. Experiencing terrible upload speeds plus problems with TiVo. Please contact me #stayconnected !!

  • scotthortop
    Scott Hortop (@scotthortop) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @SimonHendy @virginmedia thanks Simon. I was about to try your trick but the caption has disappeared! But never fear it will come back again and then I will try once more...

  • indiointernet
    Brian Roe (@indiointernet) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Service outage back again! No TV, no broadband, no landline, can't work, can't go out because of the pandemic. Being as polite as I can, I have to say, your service is utter shite.

  • mejones2121

    @virginmedia anyone thinking of joining these clowns think again. No customer service. Read all of the comments under their adverts. Their advertising should be done under the Trades Description Act as it's nowhere near good enough even with the faster speeds.

  • leerobertson64
    Lee Robertson FCSI FRSA (@leerobertson64) reported from Hove, England

    @virginmedia Service keeps dropping and when on its really poor signal. Gone through all the usual trouble shooting steps as this happened a few weeks back so just did everything as per last time.

  • dizzymabil
    ydnam (@dizzymabil) reported from Sompting, England

    @virginmedia Seems its all over the area. Dozens of posts on local SM pages, people without service since late last night. Can't wait to change providers, to a company that actually supply what I pay for

  • cjossy
    Joss (@cjossy) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia @Virginmedia and @richardbranson need to improve you customer service and the access. It’s a joke. I feel sorry for you working for them.

  • MikeHobden
    Mike Hobden (@MikeHobden) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia I need to speak to someone to confirm cancellation of an installation. I am getting nowhere online as I am not an existing customer. Can you help?

  • mejones2121
    Michael Jones (@mejones2121) reported from Woodingdean, England

    @virginmedia 2/2 customer services is just 'turn it off and on again on automated message' Can't speak to anyone. May cancel direct debit if I don't get some satisfaction and action soon to resolve issues which appear common place complaints

  • cjossy
    Joss (@cjossy) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia A bloody bot!!! What happened to customer service. You guys are a joke @richardbranson

  • mejones2121
    Michael Jones (@mejones2121) reported from Woodingdean, England

    @virginmedia it's not a good sign when you're complaints dept have a set message saying all staff are busy and cut you off. How bad is the service provided! #virginbroadband #poorbroadband #virginmedia

  • tommyp2222

    @virginmedia hey service is down on bn13 1bx can you hive me an update on when this will be working as I need to work #help

  • indiointernet
    Brian Roe (@indiointernet) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    Looks like @virginmedia is down in the #brighton BN1 area. Service status says back on lune at 22:45. great timing @virginmedia, nice one, really appreciate the inconvenience.

  • leerobertson64
    Lee Robertson FCSI FRSA (@leerobertson64) reported from Hove, England

    @virginmedia Sure although I do miss the days when companies who knew customers were having problems called them as opposed to the other way around. I’m a bit old fashioned that way I guess 🤔

  • KayleighBlaker
    Kayleigh Blaker (@KayleighBlaker) reported from Worthing, England

    When you call @virginmedia for assistance with installing your kit (box on the wall is faulty) and the advisor wishes she wasn’t there... I get you finish in 20 mins but doing GDPR and placing me on hold for ages isn’t on?! I pay for a service!

  • tom10248
    Tom Ferguson (@tom10248) reported

    @davegrumpybast @virginmedia They keep moving the goalposts as to when they will be back up. Our problem is Christopher having a meltdown because he can’t get onto YouTube

  • DanPuzey
    Dan Puzey (@DanPuzey) reported

    In this case, I'm afraid @virginmedia just lost a customer. You wasted over an hour of my time on a call that should have taken no time at all, and it's less inconvenience to find an alternative provider than to go through the rigamarole of changing a name and a DD with you.

  • VanillaGrice
    Neil Grice (@VanillaGrice) reported

    @cmcfc3985 @virginmedia Had the same problem since January. A lady in the cancellation/complaints team sorted it in the end. Seven months it took.

  • cichaelmork
    Left Arm Over (@cichaelmork) reported

    @virginmedia I understand, but it’s been 2 weeks now & there are no timescales for resolution. In the meantime I’m paying for a service that I’m not receiving. Is this fair do you think, would you be happy in my position?

  • fionabou
    Fiona Bouchier (@fionabou) reported

    @virginmedia Ooooo 5th call does not ask for password 8minute wait get through yo ASIM SHEFFIELD OFFICE Not asking for password their either so he won't/can't help Applause for worst customer service goes to ..... drum roll ....ASIM IN SHEFFIELD

  • RCPierce0927
    Ronald Pierce (@RCPierce0927) reported

    @virginmedia @DrRonPierce_DC The issue I ran into last night was without the Sim cards or the cell phone that I’m supposed to have gotten from them apparently they have a hard time verifying any of my information as soon as I ask for a refund they get cagey. they still refused to give a refund

  • Rohan10105
    iamrohansen (@Rohan10105) reported

    @virginmedia No reason . Trust I have spent enough time with customer care team . I am not calling them back . They have my phone number - if they want they can call me back .

  • elizabethguilt
    Elizabeth Guilt (@elizabethguilt) reported

    @virginmedia internet dropped out, can't even see local network. Tried rebooting router, factory-resetting router, but still no network with expected SSID. Any suggestions?

  • hypotheticalss
    top (@hypotheticalss) reported

    @virginmedia The only option it gives me was to log in, how ever due to a spelling error, my accounts email doesn’t actually exist and Everytime we call the support line they just put us on home for hours and don’t change the email or even assist with changing the email.
