    @virginmedia Sry the internet is back now but the speed is very slow and always get offline for my phone

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia And how am I to do that with no service? It took 3 technicians to figure out my modem had to be “pin reset” and another to rename it properly. Thats 1 hr of my life gone. So glad @CommunityFibre has arrived near me.

  • DuarteMendonca
    Duarte Mendonça (@DuarteMendonca) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @virginmedia having massive issues with billing and tried over 5 times to sort this over the phone. Most times someone will hang up and not call back making me have to call again, wait for 30m, tell the whole story again. Need to speak to an actual human at a store. Suggestions?

    Alan Hodge (@hodgie_hd) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia down again in SW18 what on earth are we paying for and all your site can say is area problems as usual it really is pathetic #tradingstandards #virgindown

  • AsadMoghal
    Asad Moghal (@AsadMoghal) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia @Big_Stylo Guys, your service page isn’t working. You need to listen to what your users are saying rather than just repeating the same response

  • 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!

  • AndrewGrill

    @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

  • 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

  • markhayo
    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.

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

    @virginmedia @YessMarvell @virginmedia also having issues here but your service status page is down....

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

    @virginmedia Awful. I ask you again - what exactly are you spending customer fees on?

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

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

  • AsadMoghal
    Asad Moghal (@AsadMoghal) reported from Kensington, England

    Why does @virginmedia have the worst customer service - the chatbot won’t work, the telephone service disconnects straight away - why bother with the service?

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

    @virginmedia My previous landline telephone number was meant to be ported over and this never got done. I’ve never been able to receive incoming calls on my landline. Internet is very intermittent. My experience with your customer service hasn’t been great. All along I’ve been paying in full.

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

    @Mike_Randazzo1 @virginmedia Thought about it, but it’s most likely a management directive, nothing will happen. All I want is my package, set up the new flat, and not hear about them until we cancel again, hopefully last time.

  • chrisgreen
    Chris Green (@chrisgreen) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @virginmedia You know full well that a broken drop cable (which you already know is the issue from the last time you unhelpfully responded) won’t be shown on your service status page. For crying out loud! Your cut-and-paste response is both disrespectful and of no use whatsoever! #epicfail

  • persianuk2017
    Hadi Taheri (@persianuk2017) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia i have been loyal customer and i asked if i change my package to phone and broadband as its far more affordable for me seeing the prices. You refused offering me what is on offer i find at absolute ridiculous and unvalued therefore requested cancellation.

  • edward_baran
    Edward Baran (@edward_baran) reported from Kensington, England

    @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

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia So sorry for the loss of your mum and this headache for you I was chased by orange for 8 months after my dad died well his name i got his post never got a refund either or a apology

  • mikmikemicky
    Mike Hill (@mikmikemicky) reported

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia That's bad. When my dad died, a company who's bill didn't get paid even offered to be executor's in his estate?

  • WeHearYou2020
    WeHearYou (@WeHearYou2020) reported

    @virginmedia @rafthemaster They offer an awful service. When there was a national outage a fee weeks ago our main box coincidentally went off and stopped working. Spent nearly two hours on the phone waiting and then trying to explain our problem. We were promised a new box. Still waiting. Shocking service.

  • irons1de1
    irons1de (@irons1de1) reported

    @JamieGBarry @virginmedia Having the same issue with @virginmedia I just have the internet with them and they have just doubled my price and won’t offer anything where as a new customer can get the same deal for just over £20 it’s disgusting no incentive to remain a customer with them

  • Grahamthecabbie
    Graham Long (@Grahamthecabbie) reported

    @virginmedia no service at the moment. Been down for z9 hours! What’s going on?!

  • David52578899
    David (@David52578899) reported

    @virginmedia @PeteUK7 That’s an excuse, not a reason. Nobody cares if your records were not fully updated, that’s your problem.

  • Jamescullen2732
    james cullen (@Jamescullen2732) reported

    @virginmedia @JamieGBarry Its the most stupid thing that they all do that. Sky wanted 128 from me after paying them 68 for a year so I moved to virgin for the same price.

  • DavidDdjoinery
    David duncan (@DavidDdjoinery) reported

    @virginmedia Sent a message yesterday about an ongoing issue with tv and still no reply , and can’t get an online chat through the app or phone call this service is appalling
