  • roopagulati Roopa Gulati (@roopagulati) reported from Harrow Weald, England

    Thanks for the retweet Christine. We are having a horrendous experience with @virginmedia, which is compounded by them sending texts which indicate that the problem has been resolved when it clearly has not. 6 days and counting with no service

    Well @virginmedia is a real pain in the arse, third time I’ve cought them trespassing and doing damage; they claim to have a statutory right over any private land of a non-customer when they clearly don’t #Cowboys

  • roopagulati Roopa Gulati (@roopagulati) reported from Harrow Weald, England

    @virginmedia Also, not one of the many text messages I have received during our 6+ days of VM Blackout indicate that the fault is a general area one to area. Please check the exact wording of the message. Terrible service from VM

  • MaverickMark mark palmer (@MaverickMark) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia over 2 years of daily intermittent broadband caused by you and hidden - I can’t get a fix. Now tv box and router both don’t work. 3 hours wasted on phone, 3 dropped calls and sorry doesn’t cut it.

  • roopagulati Roopa Gulati (@roopagulati) reported from Harrow Weald, England

    Anyone thinking of signing up to @virginmedia - think twice. We live in NW London and are enduring day 6 of a total VM blackout - no WiFi and no TV. Not good enough.

  • CiaranMcNulty Ciaran McNulty (@CiaranMcNulty) reported from Wandsworth, England

    The guy from @virginmedia fixed my network and I’m getting the >100Mbit I pay for. I’d forgotten what good internet was like!

  • JOBSUKWIDE Coniston Scott (@JOBSUKWIDE) reported

    @CarlMcCulloch @virginmedia So, I have 65 here it’s fast, but had major problems in last 3 weeks, caused by something I never imagined. Electrical interference. The neighbour had a transformer plug dying, it was shooting out from his house, not affecting him, back to the road, finding next user. Me..

  • baker2677 BakerBoyGaming (@baker2677) reported

    @virginmedia Live in The NR30 area of Great Yarmouth last few hours every 30mins to 1hour all internet goes down checked online no issues checked my end no issues not happy as paying top price for service

  • sashstuart Sasha (@sashstuart) reported

    Why has my @ClearScore credit score gone down since taking out a phone contract? It’s appeared as a “hard search” from @virginmedia and knocked my score down even though I’ve been accepted and signed the credit agreement?! That is unfair to mark down JUST for opening an account?

  • lynseymaffs Lynsey 🔴⚪️ (@lynseymaffs) reported

    @virginmedia We are really dissatisfied with our fibre broadband. During the first lockdown I excused the unreliability with the amount of users there must be working from home; but it’s never got any better & we’re exasperated with how slow it is and how often it cuts out.

  • AmitP1992 Amit Puntambekar (@AmitP1992) reported from Fenstanton, England

    @IFALeicester @virginmedia @Ofcom Terrible company to deal with Scott, took me 8+ months to set up an installation as they had to come out to do road works. Every week promised they’d come within the next few days. Effectively no internet during that period. Left us in limbo the whole time.

  • dazzaiken d (@dazzaiken) reported

    @virginmedia I bet @bt_uk or @SkyHelpTeam would at least WANT to help there paying customers.

  • SpiritualAwak18 Laura 🌌 (@SpiritualAwak18) reported

    @virginmedia has gone down again! No University work, no internet for the kids or TV...on hold for an hour for the line to go dead £70 a month for the worst customer service, get your company sorted / refund decent amounts for working hours lost

  • dazzaiken d (@dazzaiken) reported

    @virginmedia Live chat. Then ignore. Can’t be bothered to deal with them. Must be way to hard. So just shut the conversation down

  • rwfc236 Howard Freeman (@rwfc236) reported

    @virginmedia Internet down again!! Only been back working properly for a few days. Just ridiculous. What am I paying for?

  • skidoggeruk bob kowalski (@skidoggeruk) reported
