    Glad I'm not working from home today, @virginmedia broadband down again 😒

  • 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?

  • PaxtonDan515 Danny Clark (@PaxtonDan515) reported from Enfield Lock, England

    @virginmedia your process for cancelling a contract is awful... no doubt telling your operators to keep hanging up. Wankers

  • citigirly lisa sibley (@citigirly) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia hi have had no internet since this afternoon, a fault ref did come up but just received text to say fixed but still no internet ref Fault Ref: F008694497 can you help? I have tried re booting

  • jimmymc James Mc (@jimmymc) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia Yep. I asked to start a complaint, to which I was told I problem.. and guess what.. no-one’s been in touch. Been constantly with you since ‘96 through Nynex, C&W, NTL, Virgin Media. Think I deserve more loyalty than I’m getting.

  • Miaopow T (@Miaopow) reported from Richmond, England

    @virginmedia why is it when I do FaceTime or WhatsApp messenger to someone also on Virgin network it doesn’t allow me to? And I have to go to my 4G. That seems ridiculous!

  • OllieToogood Ollie Toogood (@OllieToogood) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia still waiting for my call back re my complaint C-291120591. It is ridiculous one has to wait so long for a phone call, it’s not I require an engineer to attend!!! Is this your example of customer service? Joke

  • fackjossey Foss (@fackjossey) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia our cable doesn’t fit as it should (we were told an easy installation and just the box is required), and my partner is getting no response from anyone to help...? Just moved into a new flat with no wifi now so not ideal

  • kapowaz Ben Darlow (@kapowaz) reported from Richmond, England

    One month of constant disconnections, poor upload / download speeds from Virgin Media. Not that it’s particularly important to have working broadband when you’re all working from home and can’t physically spend Christmas with your family. What an absolute joke.

  • craigglenday Craig Glenday (@craigglenday) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia Resolved now, thanks. Not easy to cancel a V Mobile contract, & not at all clear on the site (I get it, you don’t want to make it too easy for customers to leave, but it was all going a bit Kafka!) The Virgin Media customer experience, on the other hand, was vastly more pleasant!

  • sehsmiffy sarah smith (@sehsmiffy) reported from Richmond, England

    Dont waste your money , they even gave us a booster so the wifi reaches upstairs ... does it bollocks !!! Biggest pile of **** is virgin media !!! #VirginMediaSale

  • Mark_Phillips66 Mark Phillips (@Mark_Phillips66) reported from Camden Town, England

    Here we go again. @virginmedia just cut TV and broadband signal in NW5 AGAIN. Same message on service line as previous weeks - too complex for them to fix. Pathetic service as usual.

  • kapowaz Ben Darlow (@kapowaz) reported from Richmond, England

    I wonder which would be quicker, for Virgin Media to fix the area fault around where I live, or for me to just move house and get a new ISP

  • ssb316 Ssb316 (@ssb316) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Are you able to remove all registered devices from my Virgin TV Go account? Searching online it looks like there is a bug on the system, which requires Virgin Support to remove the devices.

  • StaceyRebekka Stacey Karlsson (@StaceyRebekka) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia please can you share an email address for complaints. I have not had my issues resolved and there is only a postal address. (Which I assume isn’t monitored due to Covid) I am also sending the same complaint to Ofcom and CISAS.

  • annwyllie annwyllie (@annwyllie) reported from Richmond, England

    @virginmedia yet more non working channels. Few itv and sky channels not working. Just why do I continue using you when there's always some sort of issue. Wait time on phone is over an hour! Such bad service

  • citigirly lisa sibley (@citigirly) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Ok so says issue now fixed could tell they were working on it as lost tv and then internet came back for 5 mins, but now no internet again? So issue not fixed can you contact the engineer working on it to say not fixed ASAP please

  • marie_haggerx 𝕞 𝕒 𝕣 𝕚 𝕖 (@marie_haggerx) reported from Borehamwood, England

    Why am I seeing this message @virginmedia when trying to watch the football on my iPad? I have watched it many times on this device now I am seeing this message .... PLEASE HELP!

  • LishaPartington Alisha Partington💚 (@LishaPartington) reported

    @virginmedia To run for the hills. Maybe if you’d have done your job as you were supposed to in the first place I wouldn’t have to deal with your incompetent customer service staff, who quite frankly, are rude and are about as thick as two short planks. 3/3

  • danjp_ dan 🐝 (@danjp_) reported

    @virginmedia Yeah but you're literally crashing five times a day? Terrible service.

  • KKDhaliwal Kiranvir Dhaliwal (@KKDhaliwal) reported

    @virginmedia Should it not be part of your customer service to inform us? How do we check the page when we have no access to anything? I have to sit in a coffee shop with free WiFi to even connect to anything! What contingency plan do you have to mitigate loss of service? @Telefonica

  • P4TTL Patrick Smith (@P4TTL) reported from Chertsey, England

    @virginmedia Yep, no issues in the area. Everything was working up until about an hour ago, and now the Internet has gone very sporadic and constantly disconnecting, as shown by the ping test.

  • Magnoli23215778 Magnolia’s Art (@Magnoli23215778) reported

    @nickwatson73 Terrible. We had 5 engineers out, different times to fix a phone, connected to a Careline for a disabled. 6 weeks without a phone #Virginmedia

  • wadannatt Wayne Dannatt (@wadannatt) reported

    @virginmedia It's still a bit iffy, as in that it takes a while to load things in on this app, but that could be a Twitter problem. Haven't tried how it is in PSN yet, which is where it was going haywire last night. Was constantly losing connection to a relay or the host server.

  • theshortblue kevin duffield (@theshortblue) reported

    @virginmedia Surely basic customer service means letting the customer know what’s happening? Nearly 90 years old, no tv, broadband and no telephone. Shocking @virginmedia

  • theshortblue kevin duffield (@theshortblue) reported

    @virginmedia absolutely disgusting service from you today, my elderly father was due to have installation at his new address only to be told now it’s February 14th at the earliest so he has NO telephone, Bo road and or TV services. A customer for 13 years too! Shocking!

  • magculture magCulture (@magculture) reported

    Anybody get an idea how to get @virginmedia to respond to our internet outage? Into our third day, with only broken promises so far...

  • ssicksakamoto kat 🥦🍀 (@ssicksakamoto) reported

    @yumabuddy the virgin media people who call me every day are the bane of my existence fr, I'm never picking up ever
