    @virginmedia Well that’s pretty meaningless. Broadband down in Exeter & other parts of Devon. When is service expected to be restored? Why haven’t you put a message on your website? This is impacting my ability to work at home.

  • MElcoate
    Martin Elcoate (@MElcoate) reported from Topsham, England

    Apologies if my tweets with Virgin Media have landed in your timeline this evening. They couldn’t DM me and all other avenues of complaint have failed.

    @WhichUK Thread below a snapshot of my frustration with Virgin Media customer care & their complaint handling process.

    @virginmedia Wow, £96 a month full package! Never even asked for it, and all phone numbers unavailable!!! #Swindlers

  • MElcoate
    Martin Elcoate (@MElcoate) reported from Topsham, England

    @virginmedia Full details re my complaint should be on your records (telephone & web chat). In short appalling customer service making it v difficult for me to resolve issues. I have also complained about your complaint handling. I’m fed up having to explain what my complaint is about.

    Martin Elcoate (@MElcoate) reported from Topsham, England

    @virginmedia As per many comments in this thread I have suffered at the hands of terrible VM customer service. Employees don’t seem to have the tools to do a decent job. So many pillars & posts to be passed between. VM ok when it works but if you need help...

    @virginmedia I had my WiFi and phone installed back in June , the box outside my house was broken so your engineer connected to my next door neighbour, and was told it would only be for a week , I have phoned numerous times and just get ignored . Atrocious service!

  • MElcoate
    Martin Elcoate (@MElcoate) reported from Topsham, England

    It would appear that @virginmedia broadband is down across the SW until at least midday. Not that you’d know from VM. Have had to glean this from internet searches & Facebook. Usual poor VM customer service.

    @virginmedia tv and bb down. Please hurry up and fix before the estimated time tomorrow 4pm. WFH and have a teams meeting at 10am.

    @virginmedia Hi John apparently they are unable to help I now need to contact the oomph team !! No contact details , joke

    @MartinDaubney @virginmedia I would be going to an Ombudsmen. Shocking service. I'm with Sky, really great service.

  • AJMerron_writes
    AJ Merron (@AJMerron_writes) reported from Borough of Torbay, England

    @virginmedia Apparently there’s some form of outage on the network as a whole. I can’t get any clear answers from the @TravelodgeUK Wi-Fi help line. The network just seems to be refusing to connect logged in devices. I’m here for one night and requested money back for Wi-Fi to no avail.

  • gjp12775
    Graham Palmer (@gjp12775) reported from Borough of Torbay, England

    @MartinDaubney @virginmedia I've heard negative stories.about them downhere. Again around service. Dread to think what will happen with Flybe, if Virgin supply shoddy service.

    @virginmedia Have tried 3 more times to get through with the same outcome. Paying a lot of money for no service and no customer service!

  • RapidBI
    Mike Morrison (@RapidBI) reported from Borough of Torbay, England

    @Yoshi107422871 @virginmedia Yes they say they will raise a complaint but nothing comes of it, no call or e-mail followup

    @virginmedia @martybhoy1979 Having same issue !!!

  • JackieKellySW
    Jackie Kelly (@JackieKellySW) reported from Borough of Torbay, England

    @virginmedia total dismay , terrible service, routers constantly fail . Call CS and told you have been customer over 15 years but best to go to @sky for a better price !!

  • MandyPearse
    Mandy Pearse (@MandyPearse) reported from Teignmouth, England

    @danslee @virginmedia That’s shocking customer handling Dan. If it’s any help I’ve actually found the guys @TalkTalk pretty good especially on tech issues around broadband.

  • JackieKellySW
    Jackie Kelly (@JackieKellySW) reported from Borough of Torbay, England

    @virginmedia It fails daily, last two pay per view films buffered. After numerous calls to CS it is established I need a new box ! Also discussed my package offer which runs out on 31/7 for him to advise I go to sky !! After 15 years service !

    @virginmedia pathetic service!! I thought Sky were bad but this is disgusting! You send a new box out to an 83 year old man and expect him to install it and when by miracle his son manages to do this you don’t activate it from your end!! Several calls and you

  • paulpresenteruk
    Paul Hulse (@paulpresenteruk) reported

    Having major issues with @ring doorbell, seemed to loose connection so iv tried recharging and reconnecting, rebooting etc but it still won’t connect @virginmedia

  • DWRICHARDS
    David Richards (@DWRICHARDS) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks so much. Who should I ask for?! Current promise via Chat is a chq within 30 days. The problem with contacting Virgin Media by phone or online when you are a former customer chasing a refund is that it is difficult to get past your security checking if it's an old a/c.

  • Deano01973
    Dean Hazell (@Deano01973) reported

    @EE do you offer broadband and TV similar to @virginmedia? I am looking to move away from Virgin as they have charged me a late payment fee which was down to an error they made.

    Virgin Media won’t let me cancel my contract in peace kmt

    Eden Gem (@edengem) reported

    @virginmedia Help Please! Just been given incorrect advice from 4xoverseas tech support. Initial issue was an error code & “black listed IP server” that stopped desktop emails from working. Any advice as advice now cancelled iPhone email. TIA

  • Neek49
    Monique Bissell (@Neek49) reported

    @virginmedia our internet has been down for two weeks. Not ‘intermittent’ not ‘freezing now and then’. It is Off. Kaput. Noncompliant. DEAD. You keep saying that you will resolve it but we haven’t even been told what the problem is. With tears in my eyes, PLEASE FIX IT!! Please!

  • jasoncainesmith
    Jason Caine Smith (@jasoncainesmith) reported

    @virginmedia and you can’t even recognise his account details or phone number so he’s sat there without tv!! Unacceptable service levels! I sincerely hope you’ll be refunding him some of the extortionate amount he pays you each month !

    @entrustTMF @virginmedia @Starlink simples - best utility provider I have ever had and never gone down in the years I have been a customer.

    @virginmedia so you continue my 74 year old dad into upgrading and then expect him to install everything. He tries to call you for help but your **** automated system doesn't recognise his phone number or account number
