  • AntonBrooksAMB 🔰 Brooks 🔰 (@AntonBrooksAMB) reported from Merton, England

    @virginmedia I work from home and have other work to do which all requires an internet connection. I really should not be having these problems for almost 3 months now. It is impacting my work a whole lot

  • AntonBrooksAMB 🔰 Brooks 🔰 (@AntonBrooksAMB) reported from Merton, England

    @virginmedia Many complaints have been raised and we have tried to leave the contract due to the complete lack of anything beneficial to actually fix our broadband. Of course I’m not having a a go at you but your customer service team is very bad. They don’t care about actually helping 👍🏾

  • manan2661 Manan (@manan2661) reported from Barnet, England

    Hi @virginmedia . My internet has just completely stopped working today and I have restarted my router number out times today without any luck. Can you please help?

  • timplumb Tim Plumb (@timplumb) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @virginmedia Download speeds in SW18 are down to 5Mbps (on a 200Mb account) after works in the area earlier in the week. Called to report the issue only to be told by a message to wait 24hrs to see if the issue resolves itself. Can you please log the issue? Thanks.

  • BeckyKellyNews Becky Kelly (Göllner) (@BeckyKellyNews) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia He has tried this and every time it just reverts to an automated bot response that doesn’t accept/understand /respond to his request to cancel. I need another way. As it’s proving impossible and stressful

  • timplumb Tim Plumb (@timplumb) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for the reply. Yes; “Looks like there’s still an issue with your connection”

  • the_hyper ⚡️TᕼE ᕼYᑭEᖇ⚡️O Índio 🇧🇷🇬🇧🇺🇦 (@the_hyper) reported from Croxley Green, England

    @virginmedia all services are down in Watford/Croxley area! Modem with green light since 6am. Any idea??

  • yessibelloperez Yessi Bello-Perez (@yessibelloperez) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia Yep, not good enough. What’s the issue? Why does it keep happening and what are you doing about it? And how are you compensating customers?

  • plummerkevin1 Kevin Plummer (@plummerkevin1) reported from Richmond, England

    @martynenglish2 @virginmedia They have a catastrophic reputation around here ... speeds great in theory but always down, slow and out of order as I see from local shops.

  • AntonBrooksAMB 🔰 Brooks 🔰 (@AntonBrooksAMB) reported from Merton, England

    @virginmedia No internet since last week, again. Have to wait 6 days for someone to come out and ‘fix’ it again. It’s a shame because you guys really don’t care. Since June my internet has been on and off like this

  • U2Gorilla Snatch (@U2Gorilla) reported from Southall, England

    Requested to cancel my contract and told my account doesn’t exist anyway. Thank you Virgin Media.

  • yessibelloperez Yessi Bello-Perez (@yessibelloperez) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia Once again, your status checker says there’s nothing wrong but I have just called the number provided and was told by an automated messaging say your engineers are working to resolve a very complex issue. This is the second time in less than a month.

  • yessibelloperez Yessi Bello-Perez (@yessibelloperez) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia Last time, our wifi was down for over a week. I spoke to an agent on the phone who was utterly useless. You never offer any solutions. I’m starting to think that the only way for you to take any action is if I cancel my DD.

  • catt_hurman Catt Hurman (@catt_hurman) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia have been passed to 4 different people across 4 hours and still waiting on a simple answer to my question. Why is it so hard to get some help?

  • catt_hurman Catt Hurman (@catt_hurman) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia 3 engineer visits across 4 weeks and still no wifi… promised after another failed attempt to fix yesterday someone would come today. No engineer has arrived and nobody is replying to my WhatsApp. Fix this now please.

  • yessibelloperez Yessi Bello-Perez (@yessibelloperez) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia Not good enough! I would believe you if this was the first time it happened but I am not paying £53.75 a month for this awful service and unreliable service… not when there are plenty of providers offering more for less.

  • wysiwyg100 Mr. Whizz (@wysiwyg100) reported from Lambeth, England

    @virginmedia as usual I’m afraid your comedic bad wifi has translated into a comedy of errors for me to cancel my contract.. pls can someone get in touch

  • elthampalacegay royal 🌈 (@elthampalacegay) reported from London, England

    Or #virginmedia wiping the Wi-Fi network name every other month on the 2G and 5G saaaaaaaaaake

  • U2Gorilla Snatch (@U2Gorilla) reported from Southall, England

    Possibly the worst service Iv ever experience by @virginmedia signed up to a new contract on 4/08/22. Installation engineer was due today, no contact from virgin. called call centre on the phone for 56min multiple transfers asked to redo everything including provide bank details

    @virginmedia Hello sorry aint good enough it's everytime the bill is paid ontime every month yet the amount of issues is unreal use are really starting to let the customers down

  • lou2sing Louise Herrington (@lou2sing) reported

    @virginmedia 2/2 and then get the unavailable noise as though the number never existed. The suggestion was made today to change the hub, but then I have to pay 2 hrs of contract IT time to re-set up the office and all system connections. Not an option (unless virgin pays for it) !

  • jimboy2 james (@jimboy2) reported

    @virginmedia And that’s the problem. I’ve tried talking to people and no one is able/willing to help. Such a simple matter and no one can be bothered
