  • madamdaphne Daphne & Jake (@madamdaphne) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia Fishy when a company offers discounts to new customers when it can’t deliver a reliable service to existing customers paying the full wack for years

  • DavidClark38 David Clark (@DavidClark38) reported from Richmond, England

    Hi @virginmedia you seem to have sent me my latest bill without any reduction for the 4 days without any service leading up to Xmas (TW12 postcode). Can you let me know when compensation will be refunded. Thanks.

  • sweetbriar49 Jonathan Blake (@sweetbriar49) reported from Lambeth, England

    @virginmedia There is no internet for me , my upstair Neighbour either & my TV Box so no Virgin TV Another neighbour his TV box is also down so maybe you have a neighbourhood mega fault. I need Internet & pay for the service Thank you

  • eatsruns Sarah (@eatsruns) reported from Tottenham, England

    @Virgin_Victoria @virginmedia Hi @virginmedia, please help. I pay a premium for my internet to have faster internet than your competitors offer. If I can't get that then I'll go elsewhere for much cheaper

  • gary2323 G.Marshall Gleghorn (@gary2323) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Called from Bangalore touting me to renew contract offering me upgrades but lied about cost, sorted this out, then VM continued to bill me at rate I never agreed too, then we had four days of outages, then Bangalore team just disconnect if they cannot sort out a problem

  • benrobart 「Ben Ⓥ」 (@benrobart) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @virginmedia @Friendly_Sparky Your service is a joke and your support is even worse. You could throw a bunch of monkeys in a room and they'd do a better job.

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

    @virginmedia Please can you confirm the discount billing process 4 outages and counting this month... Also appears that your Text me alert via the “Track this issue” does not work

  • gary2323 G.Marshall Gleghorn (@gary2323) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia All working now but customer service has been a nightmare

  • annikaallen Annika Allen (@annikaallen) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I need to book an engineer to come out but every time I go through your automated system it cuts me off telling me to go online or that my hub is offline. I know it is. That's why I'm calling. There's a wire broken. It's not switched off. Pls help. Thanks 💛

  • stevefarrell16 Steve Farrell (@stevefarrell16) reported from Poplar, England

    Hi @virginmedia - your team turned up on Monday, couldn’t do the job so said they would be back today; 2pm and still no sign having been promised “we’ll be done by 3”. Really unacceptable & no help.

  • oprahwinfrey420 Edin Imsirovic (@oprahwinfrey420) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @virginmedia Media Internet. Our wifi is down apparently until tomorrow morning!

  • lazis002 Stefan lazic (@lazis002) reported from Watford, England

    @virginmedia internet's been down all day. The support page page previously said there was an issue and would be fixed by 4pm , but now it says there is no issue. Post code is wd19 7ht. Please tell me when I will have internet / phone again.

  • OnePavedCourt One Paved Court (@OnePavedCourt) reported from Richmond, England

    @virginmedia very difficult to run a business when service is down day after day. No broadband, no phone....Please confirm what’s going on! #noservice #richmondgreen

  • Dean_Pallant Dean Pallant (@Dean_Pallant) reported from Lambeth, England

    @ScottCompton20 @virginmedia My service checker says there is a problem for SE24 but it will be resolved by 9am tomorrow. Let’s hope so!

  • gary2323 G.Marshall Gleghorn (@gary2323) reported from Merton, England

    @virginmedia Complaint closed as I thought it was sorted, I will not renew any future contracts with you as it’s been nothing but a nightmare

  • davidjoneshome DJ (@davidjoneshome) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @virginmedia Checking with other customers in KT6, we see that no one has any compensation for the outage last month. This is outrageous!

  • gary2323 G.Marshall Gleghorn (@gary2323) reported from Merton, England

    @virginmedia cheap labour in Bangalore = terrible customer service ..

  • adelarks a d e l a r k s | iwonderwhat (@adelarks) reported

    @TowlawToon @virginmedia It's a KNOWN outage infrastructure issue in this area causing the problem.

  • Haigh12K haighy (@Haigh12K) reported

    @virginmedia The sound was fine the other week . Your UHD channel is the only one with sound issues. It had the same problem at xmas and it seemed to fix itself .

  • alexsherratt Alex Sherratt (@alexsherratt) reported

    @virginmedia I placed an order for broadband. Order number CH2000480406. Told by your agent the order doesn't exist so can't be cancelled, but someone will be in touch soon to process my order. Confusing. 53 minutes of phone calls. Please *cancel* my order

  • BrianBo54982288 Brian Booth (@BrianBo54982288) reported

    @virginmedia I understand that you are busy but the system is not working

  • KieranSumner Kieran 🏂 (@KieranSumner) reported

    @virginmedia It was made over the phone through one of your advisors. I’ve found the “complaint tracker” but whoever raised the complaint has raised it with an incorrect contact number. They’ve put a landline as my preferred contact which nobody will be able to reach me on as I don’t use it.

  • Mash369 CJ (@Mash369) reported

    @virginmedia Just a shame your customer service is shite.

  • crosrob Rob 🏡💙 (@crosrob) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, just called it. No known issues in my area with broadband.

  • RowleyDenis Denis Rowley (@RowleyDenis) reported

    @virginmedia The fact that it happened in the first place is the issue. This was an error at your end that has resulted in my wife and I being unable to work and yet there's no way to have the issue resolved quickly

  • KieranSumner Kieran 🏂 (@KieranSumner) reported

    @virginmedia I appreciate it may take longer to resolve a complaint but as a standard you should be providing consumers with written Acknowledgement of the complaint within 5 business days. Of which you have failed to do so.

  • stefanoc Stefano Costantini (@stefanoc) reported

    @virginmedia no service in SW4 since 7am today. Estimated time for fixing this issue (from your status page) is Feb 15th? Are you really estimating it's going to take you a week to fix it?
