    @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 I have not internet in my flat in EC1V9ET since Monday. No explanation no comment and after calling the Customer Service team every day for an update today I was told that I should not be working from home if I’m not a business.! So that’s just 👍 great. That’s why 1

    @virginmedia Still not working, unfortunately I won’t be able to pay for this service much longer if I am always having troubles. I don’t know what to do anymore apart than moving on to another realiable provider

    @virginmedia That’s my point!!! your text says you’re coming today, your system says Thursday! Once again a massive let down on your apparent Customer Service!!! Your call centre has just advised that the text was sent in error and the appointment is now Thursday....costing my company money

    Alessandro Ferrara (@iamAleFerrara) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia Yes I did try to call but couldn’t get hold of anyone after a 20 min wait. As you can see from the screenshot above in previous tweet, every appointment I make gets cancelled. Are you able to do something about this? Any help would be much appreciated

  • andreas_krieg
    Dr Andreas Krieg (@andreas_krieg) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @virginmedia It still comes and goes. Absolutely unreliable to work from home when I get kicked out of conference calls because the broadband is down. This is very poor after almost 12 hours! #WorkFromHome

    CALUM GRAY (@Jo_The_Waiter) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @DJRustyEgan @virginmedia It’s not speed I have a problem with, it’s all my services are down.. no broadband, no tv, no home phone. Awful service

  • tobygilles

    Anyone else having an issue making calls on @virginmedia mobile? Is this a known issue?

  • AndrewGrill

    @virginmedia I’m not a VM customer, I just want to buy a WiFi pass as my carrier’s login methods have changed and I can no longer log in automatically

  • Housewife6
    Shaz (@Housewife6) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @virginmedia Its now been 6 hours and nobody had called me. This is the bad service I am talking about! Its not good enough!

    @jexxicamunro @virginmedia OMG this is so bad, especially when working from home in a lockdown!

  • hdl_dl
    helena (@hdl_dl) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia how long is tv and broadband going to be down today in the Kensington area?

  • iamAleFerrara
    Alessandro Ferrara (@iamAleFerrara) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia Just spoke on the phone with an agent called Denande; I explained to her that days ago other Virgin agents reassured us that we would get compensation towards our next bill due to this outage and she said they lied to us and we won’t get any. This whole mess is becoming a circus

  • ImaginaryCard
    Mo-Mo (@ImaginaryCard) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @virginmedia it's been 3 hours and we still don't have WiFi. We shouldn't have to wait 48 hours of bad service for a refund when this **** happens every few days 😵#virginmediadown

  • ImaginaryCard
    MoMo (@ImaginaryCard) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @virginmedia The service status always says its fine but the Internet goes down at this time every single night. #virginmediadown

  • AsadMoghal
    Asad Moghal (@AsadMoghal) reported from Kensington, England

    Why does @virginmedia have the worst customer service - the chatbot won’t work, the telephone service disconnects straight away - why bother with the service?

  • craiginmotion
    craig crawford (@craiginmotion) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia And how am I to do that with no service? It took 3 technicians to figure out my modem had to be “pin reset” and another to rename it properly. Thats 1 hr of my life gone. So glad @CommunityFibre has arrived near me.

    Trying to cancel a virgin media broadband has to be as painful as pulling teeth without local anaesthetic

  • Trickyred59
    Andy Ward (@Trickyred59) reported

    @virginmedia @TheAFC0522 Just had my monthly bill. £143. I'm assuming that next month the reduced charge will reflect this "functionality issue".

    @APTSArchive @virginmedia Awful to hear - these big companies are terrible at customer relations. Hope the move goes better then dealing with Virgin Media.

    @Strudlehoffer @JFab208 @virginmedia I really do feel your pain. Are there any companies out there that even pretend to offer acceptable customer service?

    Rob Heneghan (@robheneghan) reported

    @virginmedia when do you plan on fixing the red button sky spots + issue??? I can’t pick what games I watch on line. I don’t want to watch tv on my phone and I don’t want to DM you. Me and many others simply want to know when you plan on fixing the issue

  • Dianaaaa_91
    Dianaaaa (@Dianaaaa_91) reported

    Internet went down at 9pm last night. @virginmedia you’re estimating to be back up at 5:08pm today…. My partner wfh how is he supposed to do his job? No information on the app just “an issue in the area” can someone check on this please? It’s only been a week since it fixed.

    @CliveR39 @virginmedia @Ofcom I lost tv service before the world cup started for 16 days, I was told I would recieve automatic compensation but didnt recieve any discount, had to raise a complaint and they told me they would offer £20 as goodwill gesture because I didn't have total loss of service.
