    @virginmedia @Dan13lBurk3 I spoke to your customer service team who “guaranteed this fault would rectified by 21:25”. I explained the gravity as I needed to finish work for Xmas. They lied!! I’ve now got to drive to London and work through the night! Appalling!

    @virginmedia The new box arrived, and the WiFi sorted itself out for now at least. The boosters are still generating the old network also. I’m planning on leaving everything as it is till it goes wrong again, then I’ll call.

    😂 Twitter Automation gone wrong... Take a look at this @virginmedia thread for a great example of Twitter automation gone wrong. 🤖 Automation < Customer service 😀

    @virginmedia if you think I am going to be talking to my family over Christmas while my WiFi is down, you can think again. Get the engineer out here or I'm sending you shite in the post daily.

    @virginmedia I would suggest then that the service status should be updated to reflect that situation.

    @Dan13lBurk3 @virginmedia My neighbour has spoken to Customer Service too, who have informed him that it will not be fixed until the 28th!!!

    @virginmedia please can you advise me of your complaints number or email please do not tell me to call on 03454541111 as this number is a waste of time and effort but I would like to make a formal complaint with the view of terminating my contract due to your incompetent service

  • sheradondublin
    Sheradon Dublin (@sheradondublin) reported from Margate, England

    @virginmedia Hello again. Your WiFi is playing up again. Same problem as before, intermittent signal regardless of where in the house. Booster most likely needed. The ‘contact us’ option of your WiFi-tester app is also not working.

  • SamRSparrow
    Sam Sparrow (@SamRSparrow) reported from Broadstairs and St. Peters, England

    @virginmedia services in #Thanet have been off since 1am on the 23rd December and now you are pushing it back until 2pm today for a fix and still no engineer on site - that will be over 36 hours with zero updates to customers right before Christmas. What is happening?!

  • heavenndhell666
    Heaven And Hell (@heavenndhell666) reported from Broadstairs and St. Peters, England

    @virginmedia Up to your services you make sure they are unemployed so available when your company makes errors. Needless to say the day my contract ends I leave

  • heavenndhell666
    Heaven And Hell (@heavenndhell666) reported from Broadstairs and St. Peters, England

    @virginmedia Seems every night I lose my tv, on my router I have a flashing red telephone. Sick of paying for tv and not having it, not even got an aerial so when your service goes off I’m left with nothing

    @virginmedia Do you actually have a customer service department

  • CaryAWright
    Cary Wright (@CaryAWright) reported from Margate, England

    @virginmedia not had internet, for 24 hours. I spoke to customer services at 18:00 who “guaranteed it would be fixed by 21:25” I checked this 3 times as, at that point, I could arrange alternatives to finish work for Xmas. Now I can’t and still have no internet. Appalling!

    @virginmedia It’s the same problem we always have with your WiFi, it’s patchy at best. Even when I’m standing next to the box

  • MagicIce
    Magic Ice (@MagicIce) reported from Broadstairs and St. Peters, England

    @QueenieandBlue @RageDarling @virginmedia Im with virgin media mine goes down with really really bad weather like we are having now. But apart that i carnt complain about the service. Because my sky goes at the same time as virgin does in the bad weather.

    @capiegirl @Janeopot @henriettak @mansellmum @1sthappysodme @Adrienne65 @owlbird @SkyIreland @virginmedia Boring weekend but then Francesca had ambulance sent to her yesterday as reacted to eggs, severe allergy. I was a wreck, but she’s ok now. Poor Sophie had to deal with this alone 😰

    Morning @virginmedia, I’m starting to become a little fed up with your current business model. You take my money, but supply a less than reliable WiFi service. Will it take a cancelled direct debit to get your attention? Please fix. 😡

  • Pol77
    Polly Danby (@Pol77) reported from Broadstairs and St. Peters, England

    @virginmedia urgent help please. An extremely vulnerable lady’s landline is down. She has no log in details as these were set up by her late husband. Cannot get through to you by phone or by web chat. Please dm me with advice urgently, thanks

    James Green (@jimmygreen83) reported from Margate, England

    @virginmedia Hello, thank you for your quick reply. If i search via postcode it states there is a broadband issue but if i use my app it just states a tv issue. Have try rebooting twice and issue has stayed.

    @o2 @Virgin @virginmedia CEO Lutz Schueler your organisation cannot send me my Complaint Deadlock letter yet quick enough to SMS details of upcoming events and tickets that’s available. Where is your customer care!!!!

  • AmyDonalson_X
    Amy (@AmyDonalson_X) reported

    @virginmedia please explain to me how after my package ran out and I renewed with a different package in JULY it’s taken 3 phone calls, 5 online conversations and 4 different bill amounts for September/October to still have no resolution or idea how much my next bill will be??

  • amandajlee_lee
    Amanda Lee (@amandajlee_lee) reported

    @virginmedia @YouMadBruv3r How long does it take @virginmedia ??? Mines been down for weeks, right at the start of the season. Just done the service status check that you recommended for a fix date and it doesn't work 🤬🤬

  • emnm69backup

    Hey @virginmedia Why are there constant broadband issues in the fy4 area? Regular cut offs. At least half a dozen times so far this month. Contract to soon, so maybe time to switch if you can't provide a reliable service. Ps,your chat bot is also as useless as your broadband.

  • KelvinEHughes
    Kelvin (@KelvinEHughes) reported

    @WhatTheForkAVFC They sent me a bill once. I've never been a customer of Virgin Media. They couldn't explain why when I eventually got through and sent two reminders to pay, the second quite aggresive, AFTER I had been assured it was an error on their part. Absolute cowboys.

  • juza_23
    Justin (@juza_23) reported

    Basically spend the past week aside from the weekend without TV or broadband because Virgin Media can’t be arsed to send somebody out to fix the problem. ******* ridiculous.

    @virginmedia my 89 friend move just house , her new area cant supply Virgin but thats not stopped you sending her a £700 bill for leaving her contract!! Shes been a customer for 12 years. She is so worried and upset.

    @virginmedia down yet again what a ******* joke #virginmedia

  • Dmhches
    Dmh (@Dmhches) reported

    @virginmedia the fact that the red button isn’t working for sky sports on your service means you’re not providing the serving I am paying for. Please confirm I am able to exit my contract with no penalties due to this

    Hey @virginmedia how long does it take to sort out a connection issue as my broadband and tv went down about 14:00 and still just getting a flashing red light on my router (yes I reported it) these days it’s hard to do anything without internet access! 😡
