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

    @virginmedia moved house today supposed to have been reconnected. You have a problem, known about for days but arrive and say not today mate! I gotta go to Vodafone now for data. After 20 years, it’s like my wife left me...

  • stuartwhiley1 stuart whiley (@stuartwhiley1) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia Would you please give me a phone number so that I can talk to a human being about a technical problem rather than wasting my life listening to a automated telephone

  • draloksharma74 Alok Sharma (@draloksharma74) reported from Oakley, England

    @virginmedia we are without internet now for over a day. No text updates despite registering what can be done about such poor service

  • drewy__ Jez (@drewy__) reported from Whitchurch, England

    @virginmedia I’m trying to contact via calling the number but I can’t get through as I’m a new customer wanting to join!

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • annabelouisa Annabel Z (@annabelouisa) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia I’ve called 789 four times over the past two days and have been on hold for 20 minutes EACH time just to give you my PAC code 😭 talk about bad first impressions

  • 16_bit_boy T 🎮 (@16_bit_boy) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia Already checked that, no issues apparently..

  • 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...

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

    @ceryswebb @virginmedia Their customer service is the absolute worst

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • AndyOramEmax Andy Oram (@AndyOramEmax) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia Great customer service!! NOT🤬. Returning customer and you told us it would work but doesn’t because we don’t have a face plate miss selling comes to mind!!

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

    @DaddyHoggy @virginmedia This is terrible!!!

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

    @virginmedia moved house today, supposed to have been reconnected but you have a problem you knew about for days. Arrive and tell me not today mate! I’ve gotta go get data from #Vodafone now. After 20 years, it’s like my wife leaving.

  • JobbyOvy Jon Bond (@JobbyOvy) reported from Basingstoke, England

    Phoned @virginmedia tonight to cancel, as my price was going to £74 from £55 a month. Best they could offer was £60 a month even though as a new customer it is currently £50 a month! I was told if they offered their current customers those prices, they’d go out of business...

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

    @virginmedia next to useless support over the last 2 days trying to explain to your technical department what packet loss is! In the 40 mins it takes, the packet loss and speed has gone back to normal.

  • MB_GB_4 M 🏝️ (@MB_GB_4) reported

    @virginmedia An internet provider, fading with time, Once a giant, now left behind, Their service slow, their prices high, A relic of a digital age gone by. #virginmedia #virgindown

    @virginmedia It’s been on and off all night and all day, sort it out I hope I get a refund for days service sorry lack of service and any chance it can be connected today

  • ShirinPura shirin (@ShirinPura) reported

    @virginmedia i would like to make a formal complaint for the intermittent broadband I’ve been having for the past year. Luckily I’m not in a contract with you and so easy to leave, which i have already started the process with the new provider. Worst provider ever!

  • GreenSteveHayes Steve Hayes 🇺🇦💙💛 (@GreenSteveHayes) reported

    @virginmedia are not covering themselves in Glory today. No apparent redundancy for support staff or status pages working properly when half the network down earlier today and it seems its failures are returning intermittently this evening.

  • SiobainSiobain Siobain (@SiobainSiobain) reported

    @virginmedia no service what so ever while in ireland on holiday... Good job I have a good sense of direction since I can't access maps or even call anyone for directions!

  • LateralLeap Lateralleap (@LateralLeap) reported

    @virginmedia If you foster an organisational culture that treats customers with respect, pulls the stops out when it screws up and learns from its mistakes, you will accumulate the good will to be forgiven on the really bad days. If not, expect your customers to turn on you as they have today

  • guyver71 Mr D (@guyver71) reported

    @virginmedia Your Internet is garbage canceling at the weekend

  • steph_omeads Steph O'Meads (@steph_omeads) reported
