  • tvarsanyi Toby Varsanyi (@tvarsanyi) reported from Tottenham, England

    @virginmedia Yes I have and they sometimes (not always) advise that there is a problem but don’t explain which the service has become so inconsistent generally

  • E7Drew Andrew Jarman (@E7Drew) reported from Stratford, England

    @virginmedia looks like the mail servers down?

  • LunchMoneyLu LunchMoneyLu (@LunchMoneyLu) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia We’ve run the test kit already. We aren’t getting any help from you lot so we’re going to Ofcom to settle this.

  • LunchMoneyLu LunchMoneyLu (@LunchMoneyLu) reported from Camberwell, England

    @Ofcom we needed to open up a complaint about @virginmedia, how do we do this?

  • beetle_bertie bertie beetle (@beetle_bertie) reported from Merton, England

    @virginmedia how do I book an engineer for slow broadband speeds if not resolved by your help wizard?

  • LunchMoneyLu LunchMoneyLu (@LunchMoneyLu) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia @nancycooper This is an absolute lie, we’ve been told on two occasions that a manager would reach out and we’ve had nothing. We haven’t had our virgin tv working for almost a month. Their service is an absolute joke, if you can get out then get another service provider. Virgin is unethical.

  • beetle_bertie bertie beetle (@beetle_bertie) reported from Merton, England

    @virginmedia I get between 0.5 and 5MBPs rather the 100 quoted. I’m ready to leave unless you can arrange someone to fix it.

  • koshmiah Kosh (@koshmiah) reported from Camberwell, England

    @Virginmwdia Waited over 1 hour for technical support only for the phone to be hanged up. Worst service every #virginmedia WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE

  • LunchMoneyLu LunchMoneyLu (@LunchMoneyLu) reported from Camberwell, England

    @Leesasdream @virginmedia @BBCWatchdog It’s actually ridiculous how unethical they are. The amount of promises they’ve made with no delivery. Something as small as a manager reaching out. It’s actually ridiculous how piss poor their customer service is.

  • Neilz1 🙌 N E I L 🙌 (@Neilz1) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia The phone line issue is sorted..but the intermittent broadband issue is still occuring..i have been constantly trying your support team but been disconnected twice..and need to see what the issue is??? Area 21, can i DM you our account number to check?.

  • ClairePriestl8y Claire Priestley (@ClairePriestl8y) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia why oh why can I never speak to anyone or get the support I need?

  • Neilz1 🙌 N E I L 🙌 (@Neilz1) reported from Barnet, England

  • MadsRB21 Mads Banda (@MadsRB21) reported from Ealing, England

  • alisonwonder2 alison homewood (@alisonwonder2) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia At our dinner party last night you were voted the company with the worst customer service. Six months trying to get in contact. I WANT A HUB 3!!

  • LunchMoneyLu LunchMoneyLu (@LunchMoneyLu) reported from Camberwell, England

    The most unethical service provider in the UK is hands down @virginmedia. The service is an absolute joke. Stay away.

  • Neilz1 🙌 N E I L 🙌 (@Neilz1) reported from Barnet, England

  • Phil_Gahan Philip Gahan 🏳️‍🌈 (@Phil_Gahan) reported

    @strutcakes @virginmedia Do it the old fashioned way. Send a letter and cancel your direct debit

  • louiseohara Louise O'Hara (@louiseohara) reported

    Hey @virginmedia - being driven mad by the fact that I simply can't get through to your Tech Support. Spent over an hour on the phone waiting, then the line cut out! 😡

  • hdl_dl helena (@hdl_dl) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I need assistance and I have not been able to contact the service

    @virginmedia Why can I not access my email or change my password, I'm sure I know my mothers maiden name better than you . Help would be appreciated #virginmediadown

  • PIZZA_BLOB PIZZABLOB (@PIZZA_BLOB) reported

    @PaulieBUKLT Yup has been on and off this whole week - im relying on my pay from a work at home job and havent been able to work and dont get compensated!! I find it ridiculous that @virginmedia wont even allow us to register a loss of service to get a refund.. this is becoming frustrating

  • Chris_Hay92 Chris Hay (@Chris_Hay92) reported

    @virginmedia issues with broadband recently...can connect to router but still intermittent web access. Have rebooted and factory reset (which is ridiculous imo) the router but still doing the same. Been like this the past few days. Can someone call me to get this resolved please?

  • Nicola_Tyers Nicola Tyers (@Nicola_Tyers) reported

    Just saw a delivery driver knock down a @virginmedia box and drive away! DM me for details. Could be a long lockdown without WiFi!

  • OmarAbdulgani Omar (@OmarAbdulgani) reported

    @virginmedia I've done this loads of times and it says there are no issues with the broadband, but there clearly is an issue, because it keeps cutting off throughout the day. Can you give me a number to call so I can arrange an engineer to come over
