-
craig crawford (@craiginmotion) reported from Kensington, England@virginmedia once again #epicfail no WiFi and after 20 mins on hold to speak to someone I’ve lost the will to live. What’s this **** hold music anyway? I want to cancel my service. You’re not the only game in town. See ya
-
Gabor (@GaborPfalzer) reported from Kensington, England@AbzAaron @virginmedia Even better… if you don’t play along, nobody else will cancel it. You can’t even hang up on the sales pitch.
-
Chris Green (@chrisgreen) reported from Hammersmith, England@virginmedia You know full well that a broken drop cable (which you already know is the issue from the last time you unhelpfully responded) won’t be shown on your service status page. For crying out loud! Your cut-and-paste response is both disrespectful and of no use whatsoever! #epicfail

MarcHayo. Former ditherer. Now pro hard-changed EU (@markhayo) reported from Kensington, EnglandRespect to the engineers @virginmedia Consistently maintaining such a complex network is a tough job, especially at a time of exceptional demand. Whingeing the instant something as advanced as an internet network goes wrong is such a self-regarding 1st World problem. Shame on us
-
Niamh Wimperis (@WimperisDesigns) reported from Hammersmith, England@virginmedia @GetYourAlexOn And spend another hour on the phone. This is totally unacceptable service.
-
Mo-Mo (@ImaginaryCard) reported from Hammersmith, England@virginmedia down yet again. Where's the refund for all the hours lost with no WiFi connection?
-
Jose Carvalho (@josethepotter) reported from Hammersmith, EnglandExtremely disappointed with Virgin Media. Made a contract with them for internet for my business on the 09/09/21 and still NO INTERNET installed. Called customer service and they can’t help, call the order manger and they can’t help too. Who can Virgin? @virginmedia @Virgin
-
Alessandro Ferrara (@iamAleFerrara) reported from Kensington, England@virginmedia No, no one has ever used my email to login on your forums. In the meantime it’s DAY 6 with no Internet service, good job Virgin in supporting us fixing this 👍🏼
-
Shaz (@Housewife6) reported from Hammersmith, England@virginmedia I just got a direct message from you but i dont think it was you! Also no issues but the wifi wasnt working. Its back now will go again
-
MarcHayo (@markhayo) reported from Kensington, EnglandWell done to the engineers @virginmedia for sorting out my internet in Earl’s Court (ahead of time as usual). I appreciate that people have genuine problems, but we need to keep a sense of proportion. Especially compared with brave Ukrainians who face far worse troubles than us.
-
Mat Morrison (@mediaczar) reported from Paddington, England@OminousBagel @virginmedia Although I’m equally annoyed by their fault self-checking system … that requires you to be on the internet, on the same network you’re complaining is down…
-
Rashid Iqbal ☔ (@Rashidfreed) reported from Kensington, England@Rhodri_H_Davies @virginmedia It's #virginontheridiculous that @virginmedia have had the same lame excuse for their 'temporary', nightmarish wait times on their 'helpline' for 12 months now Who else gets the dropped calls as soon as you mention a bad broadband connection? Were trying to #homeschool here!
-
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

lewis genney (@lewisgenney) reported from Kensington, England@vmbusiness I am trying to close my account for a few weeks! You are trying to send me late payment charges! Please help Twitter team #badservice
-
Elizabeth Silva (@faysasilva) reported from Kensington, England@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

Paps (@coophos) reported@LeighHutch90 @virginmedia For what we pay it’s crap
-
Alison Baddley (Ali) 🇬🇧 (@alibee2006) reported@TVKev Omg that's all we need. It's bad enough talking to a bot when you phone companies like Virgin Media. Sorry I didn't get that. My response whilst going nuts. Human please NOW! How the hell are the elderly and vulnerable supposed to cope with this?! Human receptionists NOT AI.
-
Anand Gupta (@anandcheam) reported@virginmedia can you spend some money on customer care so they can answer calls / chats and LISTEN when they do ? You guys sent me 2016 router box when the agreement was to send the latest and now no one is licking up the phone, is that joke? @Ofcom British regulators need to penalise where it starts hurting the service company. Like they do in the USA, 100s of millions of pounds or billions. Not peanuts.
-
Eyezwideopen (@Eyezwideopen3) reportedDO NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS COMPANY, WORST COMPANY EVER. WILL CHANGE THINGS ON UR ACCOUNT WITHOUT CONSENT AND THEN ADD LATE FEES @virginmedia
-
Keeley 🌻 (@Keeleyeveline_) reported@teenarani @virginmedia Hopefully it gets back up and running ASAP. Went to go onto my laptop and couldn't connect to the Internet that's the only reason I new it was down otherwise I wouldn't have
-
Derek (@DerekMcguire44) reported@virginmedia You have left my 86 year old dad without a phone or internet. He now has no way of contacting family , doctor , hospital or even emergency services if required. Your engineer attended, couldn’t fix it and left. Not good enough!!
-
Glenn Matthew (@gmkfyi) reported@virginmedia @O2 I can only assume the reason I’m getting an IDF-12B error is because I’m now using a Sky connection rather than a Virgin one. Same computer, no VPN… Trying to get into my O2 account btw… which support line do I contact?
-
Leigh Gow (@LeighHutch90) reported@coophos @virginmedia It’s terrible isn’t it.
-
H47LE7🐏🍺☀️ (@hayley1884) reported@virginmedia any idea how long broadband is going to be down in DE21?
-
