    Anthony Payne (@Anthony_Lonres) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia Your online status reports no faults but as I said in the thread, I have called your support centre at least 10 times & they confirm there is a fault which has been the case since the 2nd of March. I am assured, every time I call, that it will be fixed within 7 days. It never is

    @dazzleeds @virginmedia Have exactly the same experience with @virginmedia - customer service does not exist but the charges are taken and increased without fail. For three weeks have been trying to get in touch and get some support with zero result argh 😖🤯😭😭😭😭

  • 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

    @virginmedia why’s you automated payment system not working!!!! 😡

    @virginmedia what is going on with the network. No service!

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

    @virginmedia i have been trying to get my Broadband issues fixed for months and now twice i have received no call backs as promised. I called and have just been on hold for over 1 hour and then you hung up on me! 😡😡😡😡

  • 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

  • remecampos
    reme campos (@remecampos) reported from Kensington, England

    @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

  • Jo_The_Waiter
    CALUM GRAY (@Jo_The_Waiter) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @virginmedia It was fixed about 1:30am but this is happening a lot since I moved to Hammersmith. But you never tell us what the problem is or give any compensation. I couldn’t do anything. Even my PS4 wouldn’t allow me to play games as they connect online. No TV nothing

  • FoodwiseWomen
    Foodwise Woman (@FoodwiseWomen) reported from Kensington, England

    I’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. 😱😱😱

  • adbalfour
    Alex Balfour (@adbalfour) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia @PlayAvengers @Arekkz Bayta codes???Doesn’t he mean Beeta codes? For ****’s sake can no one speak proper British English any more. People at Starbucks -‘Can I get...’. Others ‘my bad’, ‘different THAN’, ‘a bunch of people’, ‘ON the week-end’, ‘ON Trafalgar Square’, ‘advertizement’ (my son said this)!

  • Chihao
    Steve Tran (@Chihao) reported from Hammersmith, England

    Yet again @virginmedia broadband and router is down. So is the website to check it. #useless.

  • Housewife6
    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

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

    @virginmedia down yet again. Where's the refund for all the hours lost with no WiFi connection?

  • Marshall5Sharon
    shoegal (@Marshall5Sharon) reported from Kensington, England

    No internet at all now… apparently there are a few areas with dodgy internet problems… thanks Virgin media 🤬🤬🤬🤬

  • al_hereford
    Al of hereford (@al_hereford) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia Thank you. A call centre would have saved pain and a chat line that works would have also sufficed. Failing that a status page that works would have have helped. I still need to terminate the agreement as we are leaving the flat. No online form. Can you send me one or a link.

  • GabrielaLungu
    Gabriela Lungu (@GabrielaLungu) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia Yes, they are known issues; but they haven’t been fixed in over a month! Every day the message keeps changing. Thursday the promise is to have things fixed by Friday, Friday it moves to Monday aso… It’s been like this for a month 🤯 We work from home; we need decent broadband.

  • chrisgreen
    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

  • pepemac27
    Joseph Machta⭐⭐ (@pepemac27) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia hey there. Our broadband has been down since yesterday and the estimated fix time keeps being put later and later. My wife is working from home today so it's pretty impossible. Please could we have some sort of replacement dongle in the mean time?

  • markhayo
    MarcHayo (@markhayo) reported from Kensington, England

    Well 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.

    @virginmedia hi can I say that Callum your engineer in Peterborough was a great help We had been without TV for a week spent hours on the phone trying to sort it out. He visited and within an hour it was all working again

  • fahadiiae

    @Johnty14 @virginmedia That’s why i never walk out the front door, sends a signal to the burglars that im not in. Best to rappel down a garden side upstairs window

  • s4m1rk23
    SK (@s4m1rk23) reported

    @james_bull8 DM me my brother works for Virgin media - he’ll put your whole package down guaranteed (internet + TV Package). Your getting scammed 😭😭

  • TomJJarvis
    Tom J Jarvis (@TomJJarvis) reported

    @virginmedia I was sold Gig2 2Gbps symmetric in June. The upload was never delivered at the contracted speed. After three separate calls got nowhere, your Faults team corrected it, then applied a £6/month surcharge for the speed I had already bought. 1/

  • nimohally
    Nim O'Hall (@nimohally) reported

    @virginmedia i’ve called your customer service twice, your mobile coverage is so bad that I’ve had it hang up on me twice and then your AI agent hung up on me, when I asked to get through to an actual person

  • PaulOBrienKil
    Paul O'Brien (@PaulOBrienKil) reported

    @VMSportIE I strongly urge anyone thinking of subscribing to @virginmedia to NOT do it. Took over a hour to get through to customer service & they still won't fix their mistake. Shambles of an organisation.

  • DamianHastie
    Damian Hastie (@DamianHastie) reported

    @virginmedia Wow you really don't want additional business, shocking experience both with your customer service bot and now when DM your X bot. What a terrible business.

  • helenxbedford
    Helen Bedford (@helenxbedford) reported

    @virginmedia I have an engineer visit booked but it’s not showing on the app. I’ve raised a complaint about that but my complaint isn’t showing on the app. I started a live chat and was asked to move to WhatsApp’s, but didn’t receive any comms. How can I get a response from you?
