    @AsadMoghal @virginmedia That’s of course if you get a reply from a genuine account . Lots of scammer accounts reply to Vm complaint tweets - because there are so very many online complaints #virginmediadown

    To all my friends who recommended @virginmedia please don’t contact me again. They are without doubt the worst company I have had the misfortune of being a customer to. If you’re considering them. Don’t.

    @virginmedia I had check that a few times but unfortunately it could not be fixed. This is an ongoing problem and it is not on. Also my phone line not working

  • mediaczar
    Mat Morrison (@mediaczar) reported from Paddington, England

    @OminousBagel @virginmedia Although I’m equally annoyed by their fault self-checking system … that requires you to be on the internet, on the same network you’re complaining is down…

  • 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.

  • CorpFred
    Fred D (@CorpFred) reported from Kensington, England

    @birh_trx @virginmedia Yes it is down

  • 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

  • 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

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

    @atnori_ @virginmedia Yep, experienced just recently :D I am an extremely patient person… I properly lost it today 🙃 At least the damn thing is cancelled though.

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

    @Mike_Randazzo1 @virginmedia Oh, they did let me cancel, but I had to answer about 3 “last question”s before they proceeded 5 minute response time on chat, took me nearly two hours, after the 4 hours it took to connect an agent. We could get a contract with a credit check in 5 minutes.

    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!

  • 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 😑

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

    @AlexanderTroup @virginmedia I guess there is a retention quota of some sort, that needs to be hit for some big wig get a big fat bonus. Especially, since we staying a customer anyway, just different account.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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! 😡😡😡😡

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

    @virginmedia Its now been 6 hours and nobody had called me. This is the bad service I am talking about! Its not good enough!

  • AndrewGrill
    The Actionable Futurist® Andrew Grill (@AndrewGrill) reported from Kensington, England

    @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

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

    @BigupJeff @virginmedia Yeah, unfortunately. We are okay with the service, that’s why we kept it in the new one, but the customer service is a joke. Had @Hyperoptic once, was absolutely brilliant. Too bad it’s rarely available.

    Philip Mackey (@PhilipMackey2) reported

    @VirginMediaIE Day 10. Literally have no words left to describe how inept Virgin Media are. No tv service for 10 days since we moved home & had media connect technician set up our broadband (which works!) & our tv service,which spectacularly does not.

  • Temuing
    John James (@Temuing) reported

    @virginmedia why does my Internet go down around 11.00am every day for 10 to 15 minutes?

  • Americanvoiceo1
    Joe Duley American voiceover person (@Americanvoiceo1) reported

    Your service is atrocious. @virginmedia I attempted to call in to report (ongoing ) technical issue and your agent tried to upsell me a SIM card. Now...your phone number is not working, nor is our BB or TV. Offcom and Ombudsman will be receiving a correspondence from me.
