    WiFi went down in the middle of watching Halloween Ends. 4G signal also unresponsive. Stuck on very slow 4G. Virgin Media say it’s possibly a hardware fault and want to send someone Monday. No. I’m not waiting 72 hours with no internet. I’ll implode.

  • AfroChuck87
    Dan 🇪🇺 #TitanUp (@AfroChuck87) reported from Basingstoke, England

    . Why have you hung up on be after being on hold after 40 minutes. Your customer service is an absolute disgrace. You should be ashamed. @virginmedia

  • Loafite
    Tony Phillips (@Loafite) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @SkyHelpTeam hope all is well, @virginmedia have just increased my bill again for broadband (£32 increase per month in the last 10 months, disgraceful) are there any deals for a Sky customer for broadband?

    @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

  • 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

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • CathyTVNews
    Cathy Alexander (@CathyTVNews) reported from Thatcham, England

    What's the problem @virginmedia ? No broadband all day in RG18. Work day wasted. Your signal check says "problems" but no updates. Can't get thro to customer service.

    @ryantegan @skytv Cancel, then sign up in your partners name as a new customer. I do this with Virgin Media. I went from £58 to £28 and kept me as a customer. Best case retentions will offer you a better deal, worst case your partner gets new customer discounts.

  • sephiroth17181
    Seph (@sephiroth17181) reported

    @wrighty1707 @virginmedia the company is a complete joke, i was paying £56 a month for 1gig and the last 2 months were atrocious for connection the best they could do was send patronising emails saying it was my issue, so i switched to EE 1.6gig for £35 a month with unlimited mobile data to boot

  • bart_hajduk
    Bartłomiej Hajduk (@bart_hajduk) reported

    @virginmedia I've written to the local council, hopefully they will enforce the repairs or issue a fine.

    @virginmedia please help these people out. You are now aware of the situation and are not providing the service you are being paid for.

  • villa4ever29
    angela worley (@villa4ever29) reported

    @DianeRusse58708 @virginmedia I had the same issue. Did you have error code:CS2004? Mine is now fixed, but only within the last hour.

  • ExpectedReds
    matt (@ExpectedReds) reported

    Richard Hughes has been locked out of his Outlook account. The IT guy is on annual leave. Virgin Media have been doing line maintenance near his house. Real world problems and you’re all laughing at him? For shame.

  • robiand
    Rob (@robiand) reported

    @virginmedia TV and Broadband broken for over a week after your engineers damaged the cable to my house whilst installing a new customer. Repair should have been Saturday, was cancelled and rescheduled for yesterday, cancelled! and now cancelled again today. I’m moving to @skytv

  • mvkennelly
    Mike Kennelly (@mvkennelly) reported

    Virgin media broadband in London N21 has been intermittently down now for weeks and nobody at Virgin interested in fixing the issue . Hours on the phone being told to turn it off and on ! We are out at the end of this contract for sure, very poor service.

  • Torexeon
    Torexeon (@Torexeon) reported

    @wrighty1707 @virginmedia It was me who suggested this when I worked for them. I designed it to get you on the phone to retentions, because a huge percentage of customers would just sit out of contract or complain online about astronomical pricing. Granted not every customer is able to get a decent deal.
