  • SteveyA_18 Steve Anderson (@SteveyA_18) reported from Royal Tunbridge Wells, England

    @virginmedia Hi there, I was curious to know why my next door neighbour can get your high speed internet services as well as most of the rest of my road, but my flat cannot and so I’m stuck on a maximum of 14Mbps. Anything you can do to help? TIA

  • lillyelizax SatansLittleGirl🔮 (@lillyelizax) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia There isn’t internet down time the box has stopped working, they can’t get a new box out here till mid week, with a lot of people working from home you think you’d have next day delivery or something, bad enough we can’t have a engineer out to help

  • davemole85 Dave Jones (@davemole85) reported from Royal Tunbridge Wells, England

    Poor service from @virginmedia couldn't offer the deal on your website to an existing customer. Looks like I'll be going elsewhere

  • yiddo71 Mark Gould (@yiddo71) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia 5 days with no landline despite your customer services saying 24 hours everytime I ring so yes I have been in touch and no they have still not sorted it total joke!

  • moleyfozz paul fouracre (@moleyfozz) reported from Rochester, England

    @MrG48 @virginmedia Now i cant get a wifi signal 6feet away from the hub... Argh..

  • yiddo71 Mark Gould (@yiddo71) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia Just to know you still have not fixed my phone line despite a guarantee and you have just sent me a bill@for double my monthly bill.....way to go @virginmedia worst customer service ever!!

  • TMFeeG THE FEE MG! 👩🏻 (@TMFeeG) reported from Maidstone, England

    @virginmedia This is not what happened. It was taken away by the engineer who came to uninstall it 6 months ago! He also cut through the phone line and we have had 6 months of issues trying to get phone line installed. Open Reach have been amazing! I am disgusted with the attitude of VM rep

  • lewis_adam_ Adam | Lewis (@lewis_adam_) reported from Ditton, England

    @virginmedia Tbh just looking in to cancelling the current package, nothing but ongoing problems with Virgin Media and impossible to talk to someone on the phone without going on hold for hours and even they they can’t resolve issues. Issues stemming back 5years now! 😠

  • Just_Daz_Young Darren Young 📺 (@Just_Daz_Young) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia No its ok.... ill get a proper company to take the contract over and cancel you. @BBCWatchdog are surely interesting in your customer service as I have screen shots.

  • davemole85 Dave Jones (@davemole85) reported from Royal Tunbridge Wells, England

    @virginmedia Spoke to someone on Friday, the issue is intermittent so going to call back next week. Thanks for the reply

  • davemole85 Dave Jones (@davemole85) reported from Royal Tunbridge Wells, England

    @virginmedia how can I have a download speed of over 200mps but my upload speed is 0.5 mps. Shocking service recently

  • callyauckland caroline auckland (@callyauckland) reported from Royal Tunbridge Wells, England

    @virginmedia Yes, no issues listed on broadband, ran check. Helpline temp unavailable. Vpns dropping out all the time.

  • moleyfozz paul fouracre (@moleyfozz) reported from Rochester, England

    @MrG48 @virginmedia Yep. Turned it all off once came back ok but very hit and miss tonight. Good job not working from home at the moment.

  • wharfyoung jordan (@wharfyoung) reported from Wateringbury, England

    @virginmedia Oh now this is the clincher, I can’t make a complaint online because the account has been disconnected. So when I login it tells me I don’t have access to that page. It’s almost like VM don’t want disgruntled former customers tearing them a new backside in their complaints.

  • TMFeeG THE FEE MG! 👩🏻 (@TMFeeG) reported from Maidstone, England

    @virginmedia You just turned up at my fathers door 6 months after you uninstalled your service following my mother’s death to collect your equipment which you took with you when it was uninstalled. Your rep (David Khan) was very rude to him.

  • TMFeeG THE FEE MG! 👩🏻 (@TMFeeG) reported from Maidstone, England

    @virginmedia No he is NOT! I have called and logged the complaint. Your rep who came to the door around an hour ago was extremely rude. I am utterly disgusted that he could treat an elderly partially deaf gentleman this way. Had I not witnessed it for myself I may not have believed it.

  • JoanneBircsak Joanne 🎿♥️ (@JoanneBircsak) reported

    @virginmedia Can someone please let me know why I am still in contract with you having spent a lot of time holding over a month ago to cancel our broadband ? It's really frustrating having to wait, then explain why, and around and around we go. Would like this resolved ASAP.

  • lorenzoshore loren (@lorenzoshore) reported

    @virginmedia I have now been waiting 67 minutes for a reply from anyone on your live web chat. This is outrageous customer service.

  • theprodigalscum george (@theprodigalscum) reported

    would be nice to be notified @virginmedia when you’re improving your network instead of it going down randomly with no notice, this is ridiculous

  • JoanneBircsak Joanne 🎿♥️ (@JoanneBircsak) reported

    @virginmedia Where can i find once signed in, if you've actioned my request to cancel the broadband? Contract Number number:14-018390092-01?

  • Will_Clarke1 Williiam Darbyshire-Clarke (@Will_Clarke1) reported

    @virginmedia There are no trouble areas in my home. The speed is consistently 28% of the speed coming in to the hub. Even when I’m sat next to the hub the speed is equally slow. Speed going in to the hub is correct. Speed out of the hub via a wired connection is correct = WiFi is the issue.

  • R3MDesign R3MDesign (@R3MDesign) reported

    @virginmedia Yes I am still without wifi, this is the second outage this week.

  • mcbrit2 💙McBrit! Ex-Tory Voter! #FBPE🇬🇧🇮🇪🇪🇺🇺🇦 (@mcbrit2) reported

    Once again the #VirginMedia broadband goes down in B91. Not the Wi-Fi , the hard-wired broadband! What a truly shocking, appalling value for money service!!

  • cstross Charlie Stross (@cstross) reported

    @bmcraec The first three, agreed, but I'm not 100% convinced on communications and transportation. Do you want to nationalise ISPs, or cellphone companies, as well as, say, OpenReach? What about Virgin Media's cable network? Railways, sure, but what about British Airways? Etc.

  • damosuzuki23 steve walton (@damosuzuki23) reported

    @virginmedia - worst customer service I’ve ever had. Our box stopped working in June. Two promised replacements - neither was ever sent. Now it seems we need to go through all the checks, again. That’ll be another half hour wasted. Then we’ll just go round again I expect…

  • EleniKyriazi 𝓔𝓵𝓮𝓷𝓲 𝓚𝔂𝓻𝓲𝓪𝔃𝓲 (@EleniKyriazi) reported

    @virginmedia Thank you for getting back to me MH. The agent hasn't advised me anything. For three months I am trying to resolve this and no one is giving me definitive response. I just need someone to help me please. Please help me as this is getting too much now
