    @virginmedia can you help? We’ve been struggling with internet for last 3 weeks. Now dropping on daily basis and devices not connecting. Spent 1.5hrs talking on Thurs... was promised a call back yesterday but received nothing and still major issues. Can someone pls call?

  • richcon98 Richard Conway (@richcon98) reported from Thatcham, England

    @virginmedia I have to say @virginmedia are one of the worst companies to contact if you have an issue. Their message system is a joke and accounts a shambles. @skyuk is looking a better prospect!!!!

  • skearney7 Stuart Kearney (@skearney7) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia Not really. I have made arrangements to bring my account up to date and close it as I am a responsible person. However as a result of the U Switch service not working. I have paid you £150 extra for a service that I have not used. So from my point of view I am very frustrated

  • KieranDavey1 Kieran Davey (@KieranDavey1) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia Hi - I'm in Rg22 and Internet has been down since about 11am - do you have an eta for when this will be fixed? Thanks

  • MatildaDr Joanne Wells (@MatildaDr) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia you used to be great, but now not so great. I lose my internet connection far more frequently now. There’s an error when I try and change my package online. I’ve phoned customer service now I have to call tomorrow as your systems are down for changing packages

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

    @tonight__we_fly @virginmedia Exactly this 👆🏻... at least long serving customers are apparently all treated equally... with poor service 😭

  • pilot_paul Pilot_Paul 🇪🇸 (@pilot_paul) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia Of course yet twitter gets a reply but customer service still nothing after A 30 min wait to start turned into 45 after waiting 50 mins? And now Ive been waiting N hour already.

  • VomBagel Ian Bailey💙 (@VomBagel) reported

    @virginmedia Not sure what that means. I’ve had the account years before Virgin took over Blueyonder and never had problems, not even when I cancelled Virgin a few years ago.

  • MonsieurSavage Alex Savage (@MonsieurSavage) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, I have a very long standing complaint, which has been going on since October, which has not been fully resolved. Can we live chat tomorrow morning as this is the only way I have had genuine help so far. We are owed more than £800 compensation for lack of service

  • Rho_dacious Eliott Rhodes (@Rho_dacious) reported

    @virginmedia there's an outage in Rednal Bham that you're working on, but I was curious to know how the "expected fix" time works. It just got extended by another 7 hours so I was wondering if you knew what the problem is.

  • leobarnes Leo Barnes (@leobarnes) reported

    @virginmedia what’s going on with your customer service today? I’ve been ‘connected’ to an agent for 45 mins and still waiting for someone to talk to me. Can you help?

  • michael69205789 michael mcdonald (@michael69205789) reported

    @virginmedia no virgin media if when there is outages your website reports there isnt to keep your service looking like it actually works , it constantly drops connection and you pile everyone on one channel and throttle everybody moving isp's soon vm is such a scam

  • HenriettaCBlake Hetty Blake (@HenriettaCBlake) reported

    @virginmedia I have spoken to someone and requested a call back from someone more senior. I’ve filed an official complaint but as is typical of virgin I haven’t heard anything back. #virginmedia

  • _emil Emil Paun (@_emil) reported

    A month later. Kelly Communications turns up to fix the cable that had been patched by a @virginmedia engineer. Guess who has no internet again? Two more days to wait for another engineer.
