  • Hello_HWC The HWC (@Hello_HWC) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia Slow speed Constantly dropping service Not able to connect devices, TV and computers To be fair your engineer was the best bit! The rest was an absolute shambles. It’s all in a complaint I have through on your website to the resolution team...

  • SparkleEyedGirl Nicola (@SparkleEyedGirl) reported from Newbury, England

    @virginmedia I have a security issue with my router, I cannot login in or change password as somebody else is logged in. I have tried repeatedly over the last few days to contact you. We have 2 vulnerable adults in the house and need to sort this ASAP!

  • lissaburns Melissa Burns (@lissaburns) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia down in #Basingstoke RG21 - call to find out its out between 10am and 3pm due to network improvements. Surely such a significant outage he should come with prior warning - how to damage #CX ! Could have been a great #CX if communicated well...

    @virginmedia Virgin Broadband / WiFi not working again this morning RG14 6xx Newbury. service line and app say no issues. Please resolve ASAP. We need working WiFi and not rely on 4G.

  • i96jms Jane (@i96jms) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia If you forgot your pin your bank would send a replacement through the post. Please arrange for a way to cancel this account that does not cause further distress.

  • Gazimoff Gareth “Gazimoff” Harmer (@Gazimoff) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia That’s right. We’d moved house and we’re hoping to keep you with us, but there’s been over a month of delays (issues with current cable). I need it for work, so I’ve been forced to cancel and organise alternatives.

  • amy_woodliffe amy woodliffe (@amy_woodliffe) reported from Newbury, England

    @DaddyHoggy @virginmedia This is terrible!!!

    Went to @virginmedia online support last night - ran their automated test tool & identified a problem somewhere our end. Offered to request an engineer visit...

  • Simmba88 Mechelle Penny (@Simmba88) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @ceryswebb @virginmedia Their customer service is the absolute worst

  • pBullox Paul Bullock (@pBullox) reported from Thatcham, England

    @virginmedia No real explanation, just he can’t do it today. I was surprised he already knew of the problem but didn’t stop his installer coming. I spoke to lots of folks today when I called, no one could give me an idea.

  • Johnty14 John Richards (@Johnty14) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia I’m having issues with my broadband starting & stopping every 10 mins or so, packet loss too. I’m in the RG21 area but the website says no known issues!

  • larrytheking2 Larry (@larrytheking2) reported

    In your opinion, which company has the worst customer service? I'll start - @virginmedia 💯%.

  • superguinness he who cannot be named (@superguinness) reported

    @virginmedia you've done engineering works here in the Kingston upon Thames area 6 weeks ago and since then your Internet connection is really bad and I want my contract terminated because you're not giving me a good service.

  • joseph_odior Joseph Odior (@joseph_odior) reported

    @virgin media U.K. should get an award for the worst customer service team and condescending / patronising attitude . Spoken with 5 different people and each time, the phone was cut off ; all because I’m cancelling my contract .

  • CherylSBM Cheryl COO_SBL💫 ISTJ (@CherylSBM) reported

    @virginmedia This is the point I am making. Nobody gets in touch and the problem persists. 5 days has turned into 4 months.

  • Steven77110 Steven Bennett (@Steven77110) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks..but if u can't supply the service... no cancellation..I have a business to run and using a mobile phone is not practical..I call customer services later.. thanks for your help

  • jamespaveley James (@jamespaveley) reported

    @CherylSBM @virginmedia I appreciate the world doesn't work like this anymore, but maybe it should do.

  • butmummylane Maria Lane (@butmummylane) reported

    @virginmedia Well it’s not resolved yet as she is still without her installation despite a complaint, escalation and a visit from site team before. ( 9th of September it should have been installed)

  • red_panda_shop_ Holly (@red_panda_shop_) reported

    @virginmedia my hub is broken and i can't get through to anyone on the phone line or live chat to get a new one sent out. I work from home - please can someone DM me asap?
