  • lizwakeling1 Elizabeth Wakeling (@lizwakeling1) reported from Croydon, England

    @virginmedia Help - would appreciate a call from one of your team as the TiVo box you sent isn't working. We now have 2 new boxes that aren't working. We have had noTV now for over a week.

  • OfficialJW14 Jack Wiltshire (@OfficialJW14) reported from Eltham, England

    @virginmedia internet going down 5/6 times a day, calls and live chat completely shut down so there is 0 customer service options. I get you have to keep people safe but ******* people can operate a live chat from their house... actually guess thet can't if they have your Wifi...

  • ange1pie Anne (@ange1pie) reported from Camden Town, England

    So we had 2 days with no internet problems, but hello Monday morning and back to square one #virginmedia #virginmediadown @virginmedia 🤬

  • mosaicLGBTyouth Mosaic LGBT Youth Centre (@mosaicLGBTyouth) reported from Islington, England

    @vmbusinesshelp @vmbusiness By ‘protecting network’ you mean protecting profit margins let’s be honest here. Thankfully we are being released from the contract and moving to a more reasonable provider that supports customers through the pandemic and not makes them inaccessible.

  • routemaster_fan Liam 🌍🌎🌏 (@routemaster_fan) reported from Eltham, England

    FFS @virginmedia your broadband goes down faster than a ******! (Rugby or the other type) If I called everytime there was a failure I would never be off the ffffing phone!

  • _240797 (@_240797) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia you guys are absolutely appalling, i would like to cancel my contract please.

  • NeilMilliken Neil Milliken (@NeilMilliken) reported from Cobham, England

    Can you help @virginmedia all I need is a replacement splitter cable I am having to use own co-ax cable to get online.

  • FlitestarT flitestar-travel (@FlitestarT) reported from Hounslow, England

    @virginmedia I am now convinced that. You must be the worst internet provider I have come across and heard about , your reputation proceeds you , you are about as much use as a chocolate tea pot , you take the public’s money promise the earth and when you have the money you f..k

  • 20Lm2010 LM2010_20 (@20Lm2010) reported from Croydon, England

    @virginmedia I am now on day 2 of waiting for your complaints department to contact me. This service provider should be avoided. #getwhatyoupayfor #deadservice #poorcustomerservice

  • bookless Faux pas queen (@bookless) reported from Enfield Lock, England

    @riddmj @virginmedia Unreal that with the technology they have they have not set up a customer chat service and kept some of their call center people working from home. I can’t speak with anyone to ask why are they charging me more without my consent.

  • Stephen_Barry STEPHEN BARRY - Magician (@Stephen_Barry) reported from Borehamwood, England

    @virginmedia ordered a new service, was told Id hear in 3 days what the progress was, it’s been 2 week, heard nothing, phone cut off when I tried to call and nobody responding to my emails

  • bookless Faux pas queen (@bookless) reported from Enfield Lock, England

    @virginmedia Hi I need to urgently speak with someone. My service has been changed and I am getting charged more than promised I was going to pay without me agreeing to this. Need someone to contact me ASAP please

  • 1stcallosteos Vinod Mahtani (@1stcallosteos) reported from Enfield Lock, England

    @virginmedia Thank you. I didn’t know this service even existed. I will try them now.

  • NancyLangani ɴᴀɴᴄʏ🇦🇫☬ (@NancyLangani) reported from Hounslow, England

    Feel sorry for those with virgin media. They’re ripping u off with shitty signal

  • routemaster_fan Liam 🌍🌎🌏 (@routemaster_fan) reported from Eltham, England

    Hey @virginmedia down again, does @Ofcom monitor these continuous service failures. #virginmediadown

  • brazenprods 🏍 brazen productions- jules hussey 🏍 (@brazenprods) reported from Camberwell, England

    So so so crap @virginmedia every single month at least once we lose connection as does whole street. Every time we got thru the same shenanigans and you never fix it. And you never refund money.

  • ConnorMajor1 Connor Major (@ConnorMajor1) reported

    @virginmedia can you confirm if there is an outage in NE3 3AT and if so when will it be fixed? I am WFH and no longer can work, is there somewhere to claim compensation? TIA

  • IfthkarS Sajjad (@IfthkarS) reported

    @virginmedia It's back up now, but just ran the diagnostic on the equipment and it's still coming up with saying there is an issue...

  • rebs_us rebecca singleton (@rebs_us) reported

    @virginmedia So you think there is an area issue?

  • AndyRex_ Andrew Casey (@AndyRex_) reported

    @virginmedia Terrible customer service. Got a call from virgin. She was not even listening & was not interested in resolving the issue. WhatsApp just as useless, so ended contract early. I will refuse to pay to end contract, & i'll be taking my complaint to Ofcom. Bt was better!

  • KennyMilliner Kenny Milliner (@KennyMilliner) reported

    @virginmedia - why is it impossible to speak to someone about my broadband issue? I need some technical support not covered in your help or community pages. Every time I call - I get a broadband service check and then it hangs up!

  • LukeMurdoch Luke Murdoch (@LukeMurdoch) reported

    @virginmedia I have run every test and performed every recommended action. Every day my internet drops - every single day. And I’m constantly fobbed off by customer service saying to check 24/48hrs later - that doesn’t work when I’m unable to work from home - it needs fixing

  • AndyRex_ Andrew Casey (@AndyRex_) reported

    @virginmedia The lady that called yesterday was allegedly from cancellation team at 16:56, did not even seem to be listening, after explaining my issues. she just said well ill take u off our call list. what customer service is that? Very poor response of that agent.

  • i11usive_man [Redacted] (@i11usive_man) reported

    @virginmedia Okay no problem, I was just worried something had gone wrong. Thank you

  • hannahfearn Hannah Fearn (@hannahfearn) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, please can you urgently get in touch with me about letter reference HM-301022-18 ? I will not pay your early cancellation charge because you refused to service my new address

  • AndyRex_ Andrew Casey (@AndyRex_) reported

    @virginmedia I used WhatsApp for last 2 days.Getting cut off. I had agents respond to say they were looking into the issue. I then get a message from a bot saying I did not respond. What has happened to Virgin media? Too many customers so you treat existing customers with contempt?
