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!
-
Steve Tran (@Chihao) reported from Hammersmith, EnglandYet again @virginmedia broadband and router is down. So is the website to check it. #useless.
-
Foodwise Woman (@FoodwiseWomen) reported from Kensington, EnglandI’m trying to live chat to @virginmedia to see if they can install a Hub 5 router in our area as Apple reporting privacy problems with existing router. I’m on hold for a ‘live’ agent but their Terri Triage BOT requires me to press the ‘Yes I’ll hold button’ every 40secs. 😱😱😱
-
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
-
Mo-Mo (@ImaginaryCard) reported from Hammersmith, England@virginmedia Issue is still ongoing. I have called the helpline twice and after dialling my password and getting a dial tone, I have been cut off both times before speaking to anyone. Are your phone lines broken?
-
Anthony Payne (@Anthony_Lonres) reported from Kensington, EnglandTo all my friends who recommended @virginmedia please don’t contact me again. They are without doubt the worst company I have had the misfortune of being a customer to. If you’re considering them. Don’t.
-
Asad Moghal (@AsadMoghal) reported from Kensington, England@virginmedia @Big_Stylo Guys, your service page isn’t working. You need to listen to what your users are saying rather than just repeating the same response
-
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
-
Muloongo Muchelemba (@muloongo) reported from Kensington, England@virginmedia Why is the broadband service down today?! It’s been patchy all week. For the price we are paying every month, we expect better than this… #virginmedia
-
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
-
Jose Carvalho (@josethepotter) reported from Hammersmith, EnglandITS NOW almost 6 months since I made the contract with the sales team and I was told by the customer service team today that they can’t help and I need to keep trying. Trying what? WHERE ARE MY RIGHT? @virginmedia @richardbranson

Alan Hodge (@hodgie_hd) reported from Kensington, England@virginmedia down again in SW18 what on earth are we paying for and all your site can say is area problems as usual it really is pathetic #tradingstandards #virgindown
-
Duarte Mendonça (@DuarteMendonca) reported from Hammersmith, England@virginmedia having massive issues with billing and tried over 5 times to sort this over the phone. Most times someone will hang up and not call back making me have to call again, wait for 30m, tell the whole story again. Need to speak to an actual human at a store. Suggestions?
-
Edward Baran (@edward_baran) reported from Kensington, England@AsadMoghal @virginmedia That’s of course if you get a reply from a genuine account . Lots of scammer accounts reply to Vm complaint tweets - because there are so very many online complaints #virginmediadown

Mr Moanivator (@MrMoanivator) reported@virginmedia My broadband hasn't been working since around 11am today. All week, Virgin has said that work was due to be completed in my area around 11:15am today. It's now saying that the hub is the problem. I've restarted and reset it, but it's still not working 🤬
