  • josethepotter
    Jose Carvalho (@josethepotter) reported from Hammersmith, England

    Extremely disappointed with Virgin Media. Made a contract with them for internet for my business on the 09/09/21 and still NO INTERNET installed. Called customer service and they can’t help, call the order manger and they can’t help too. Who can Virgin? @virginmedia @Virgin

  • WimperisDesigns
    Niamh Wimperis (@WimperisDesigns) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @virginmedia @GetYourAlexOn And spend another hour on the phone. This is totally unacceptable service.

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

    @virginmedia Right… in the meantime I trust you won’t charge us. No service should at least mean no pay. If not also a bonus for the disruption and the frustration caused 😑

  • 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

  • antonypatrickuk
    Antony Patrick Assoc (@antonypatrickuk) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @virginmedia That’s my point!!! your text says you’re coming today, your system says Thursday! Once again a massive let down on your apparent Customer Service!!! Your call centre has just advised that the text was sent in error and the appointment is now Thursday....costing my company money

  • haniehvidmar
    Hanieh Vidmar (@haniehvidmar) reported from Paddington, England

    @virginmedia I need to urgently speak to someone regarding an account! And the fact that you’ve non stop taken money out of the account and refuse to refund as well as cutting the service off when you’ve had payment

  • 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

  • wpcastile
    William (@wpcastile) reported from Paddington, England

    @jexxicamunro @virginmedia OMG this is so bad, especially when working from home in a lockdown!

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

    @virginmedia It says no problems but believe me… I have no WiFi at all, rebooted and done the usual check

  • GaborPfalzer
    Gabor (@GaborPfalzer) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia After the two hour chat, it was finally resolved. Wife have arranged an internet connection to our new flat before this(with Virgin btw), took 5 minutes. Lot of hoops to jump through to cancel, when I just wanted to get it over with. No offers, just cancel.

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

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

  • ImaginaryCard
    MoMo (@ImaginaryCard) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @virginmedia The service status always says its fine but the Internet goes down at this time every single night. #virginmediadown

  • muloongo
    Muloongo Muchelemba (@muloongo) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia Why is the broadband service down today?! It’s been patchy all week. For the price we are paying every month, we expect better than this… #virginmedia

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

    @virginmedia no wifi since yesterday. Again. Any ideas what the problem may be?

  • andreas_krieg
    Dr Andreas Krieg (@andreas_krieg) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @virginmedia It still comes and goes. Absolutely unreliable to work from home when I get kicked out of conference calls because the broadband is down. This is very poor after almost 12 hours! #WorkFromHome

  • 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.

  • Rashidfreed
    Rashid Iqbal ☔ (@Rashidfreed) reported from Kensington, England

    @Rhodri_H_Davies @virginmedia It's #virginontheridiculous that @virginmedia have had the same lame excuse for their 'temporary', nightmarish wait times on their 'helpline' for 12 months now Who else gets the dropped calls as soon as you mention a bad broadband connection? Were trying to #homeschool here!

  • JakElkes
    Jack Elkes (@JakElkes) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @virginmedia @SlimDD @virginmedia we’ve got an outage in Hammersmith too.

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia I have made a formal complaint and i already have the connect app, it does not help me!

    Francesca Pancheri (@FranPancheri) reported

    @virginmedia we are into day 4 without internet and TV! Luckily I'm not working this week as I do work from home but this has to be the worst service we've had in the 20+ years we've been with Virgin and its predecessors!

  • theRealNickle
    Time for change (@theRealNickle) reported

    .@virginmedia made multiple phone call to report issues. Promises made, problems not resolved. Fortunately, contract is up soon.

  • duke_olaf
    DÏE BLUE BARON (@duke_olaf) reported

    @virginmedia You’re charging me £52 a month and I can’t use my service absolute criminals

  • kimtaylor18
    Kim Taylor (@kimtaylor18) reported

    Apparently now it’s not me it’s a network issue in the area… again!!!! Only taken a day to figure that out 🫣 awful @virginmedia

  • AlisonLewis_28
    Alison Lewis ❤️ (@AlisonLewis_28) reported

    @virginmedia you are a disgrace!! Your service is awful 😡

  • celestialdawwnn
    Katy ☆゚.*・。゚☆゚☾ .⭒˚ 🐈‍⬛🌌🌙 (@celestialdawwnn) reported

    @virginmedia It states there is an 'intermittent signal'. Does this mean an engineer is looking into it?

  • Louiseboxall
    Louise Boxall (@Louiseboxall) reported

    @virginmedia Yep, we’ve done all that. It says intermittent service. It’s been like this over a week. Now it’s worse! Even spoke to one of the customer service people on Friday, the issue is worse and we were told unless they get 360 then Virgin won’t help. Absolute disgrace!

  • Swinney_10
    Mark Swinglehurst 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@Swinney_10) reported

    @virginmedia had a text to say broadband and TV should be back on, but nothing been on since yesterday in the SA5 area, can you explain what's happening as the time keeps being moved forward on the issue checker

  • TamieOfficial
    Iraq Lobster 🦞 (@TamieOfficial) reported

    @virginmedia Yes obviously I have. So ridiculous. You even have the cheek to text that the services have been restored when they haven’t. Can’t work & can’t use o2 either because reception is non existent especially since you merged your terrible services.

  • _MeJAdams
    Joseph Adams (@_MeJAdams) reported

    @virginmedia And also - 20 years I've been with you guys - this morning was to renew - the whole experience has left me looking - I can get cheaper and not be treated like crap elsewhere
