    @virginmedia once again #epicfail no WiFi and after 20 mins on hold to speak to someone I’ve lost the will to live. What’s this **** hold music anyway? I want to cancel my service. You’re not the only game in town. See ya

    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.

    Jose Carvalho (@josethepotter) reported from Hammersmith, England

    ITS 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

  • craiginmotion
    craig crawford (@craiginmotion) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia F*k YOU. No wifi for a week. Waiting for a supervisor to call me back within 24 hours. FOUR DAYS Later and 2 IDIOT technicians ... cancel my service NOW. I’m moving my building Into the 22nd century. Keep playing with copper wires See ya *******

    Mat Morrison (@mediaczar) reported from Paddington, England

    @OminousBagel @virginmedia This is what is annoying me most. They pretend to believe that their service status page is working. But they must have worked out that it isn’t.

  • 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 🤬🤬🤬🤬

  • globalbribri
    Brigitte RicouBellan (@globalbribri) reported from Paddington, England

    Virgin Media upload 0.5 Mbps (Vs. a 30Mbps + promise) since 13/11. No fix in sight in spite of @virginmedia having acknowledged our pb, at a time where having a decent internet service in your home is a matter of life & death.

  • REHerrera
    Ralph E. Herrera (@REHerrera) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia how can I contact u? Nothing works online, no text sent, calls are not answered. I have been trying to contact u for two weeks. I am moving overseas and need to cancel unless you have service in USA. #virginmedia

    @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

  • NesliShafak
    Nesli Shafak (@NesliShafak) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia trying to cancel my subscription for the last 2 hours. It takes forever to reach someone responsible. It is unethical to make this process so hard

  • MissMikaSimmons
    MIKA SIMMONS (@MissMikaSimmons) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia Hi - my wifi still isn’t working. I’ve texted you and now tried to call you to cancel with no answer from either. Can I ask where is the money from your customers being spent?

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

    @virginmedia it's been 3 hours and we still don't have WiFi. We shouldn't have to wait 48 hours of bad service for a refund when this **** happens every few days 😵#virginmediadown

  • RobbieSpice89
    Robbie_Spice (@RobbieSpice89) reported from Paddington, England

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • WoleAdesemoye
    Wolé Adesemoye (@WoleAdesemoye) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @virginmedia is by far the worst TV, broadband and telephone service I’ve received in 20. Customer service is appalling. I was just on the phone and the customer service personal just hung up on me. I just can’t wait to leave and go back to @SkyUK. #avoid #virginmedia

  • _kerryking_

    @virginmedia new box installed and engineer on Saturday and still no luck, 3 boxes later and not able to access account to use the virgin tv - poor engineer has been so helpful but no luck with tv channels/apps! So so frustrating!

  • g_hannam
    Graham (@g_hannam) reported

    @virginmedia How am I supposed to contact you? You don't answer the telephone, the link to live chat doesn't work and there's no email address. I need to discuss a recent communication from you

  • Melody9Earth
    Melody Richards 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@Melody9Earth) reported

    @Benleo @Scott7507064635 @virginmedia I once had Virgin Media broadband (because there was no alternative in the area) and I had the same awful experience with them. I hate them and would never use them again.

  • LadyLucia05
    Lucia (@LadyLucia05) reported

    @virginmedia Sunday and still broadband issues, none of my home security is working properly am sick to death of it now, but you will expect my Direct debit to be fulfilled on Wednesday.

  • IHTP67
    Anne Davis (@IHTP67) reported

    @virginmedia Yes they have checked it and I have. As others have said when using it, it keeps showing "account not recognised". Finally they have an engineer coming out tomorrow. The lack of any substantive customer updates shows no regard for customers, take the money and done.

  • DingliPaul
    Paul (@DingliPaul) reported

    @virginmedia @EuroTiggion Just wondered why my bill is the same and and yet we had 3 days of no service here!!

    @Benleo @virginmedia They are truly awful. You wait until you try cancelling your contract. Then the fun really starts.
