@virginmedia After trying several things, our broadband is still down. Trying to book an engineer since yesterday via phone and chat. No answer. We've had no internet for 2 weeks now. Can you help?

@virginmedia Yes the TV is down in my area. The wifi is fine. I have known this for days and no one at Virgin media picks up a call or returns the text. I’d like to cancel my account

@virginmedia 4pm today. That’s a 36 hour outage, that has been extended from the original 12 hour estimate - so something has clearly gone horribly wrong. And your service pages me a 404 error when I try and register for loss of service.

@virginmedia Indeed. This weekend I’ll be writing up a complaint. I’ll also need to look into some other package that would at least give me some sort of advance notice eg a virgin media business account or something...

@virginmedia Hi - my wifi still isn’t working. I’ve texted you and now tried to call you to cancel with no answer from either. Can I ask where is the money from your customers being spent?

@virginmedia Please could you arrange for a customer service advisor to call me. I've been holding 56 minutes, and my line was cut off while speaking to a member of your team. Feel free to DM me for more information.

Hey @virginmedia you’ve been messing with our broadband in #RM11 for long enough. Get a grip, #revert the failed change and give us back our service. Why do this mid week when people are #WorkingFromHome ? Do it at a weekend.

@virginmedia Your phone line is saying you do. You had the system out of service for an area update for 24hours now. Who does that ?

@virginmedia Your end time has now moved out another 2 hours to 1800. That is the third time you have extended this outage. It sounds to me like you don’t have a grip on the underlying engineering issues here. Now over 36 hrs without a decent service. @Ofcom

@Mikeyhcm @virginmedia Not only that but our router popped back up for 10 mins yesterday and must have had a firmware update pushed down to it, because my old iPhone refuses to connect to wireless now (despite having iOS14) and other iPhones in house being OK. No telling truth.

@virginmedia We just had a call from you (at least from someone claiming to be you) informing us that our broadband access will be switched off in 4 hours... I therefore need urgent help as there is NO reason I am aware of to justify this!

@tzusj @virginmedia .@virginmedia are just the worst. Over the course of about four months we found they incentivise their call centre staff to full on lie to you. Awful business practice, puts their service staff in a real bind

@virginmedia Your service status page says no broadband issues. We have wired connections to the internet but not a single one our devices that were working fine before you started work, can now make wireless connection to our HUB3 WiFi #primary or #guest networks. What have you done ? @Ofcom

@virginmedia Is there a problem again with people being locked out of legacy email like blueyonder and ntlworld etc? It is becoming way too regular and needs to be sorted technically.

@virginmedia Honestly - I don’t think there is any point addressing this as it shows to the whole world how @virginmedia is simply unaware of the service they offer, and are unable to explain reasons why they are falling short. I will not be recommending this service to anyone - full stop!

@virginmedia 5 days of calls, 1 official dispute/complaint, 19 hours of waiting for an agent on WhatsApp, just to get a router that you phoned me every day for a week to accept, but then failed to deliver. Your customer service is WITHOUT DOUBT the worst i have ever had to use.
