    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.

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

    @virginmedia Hi, still with the problem. Broken and distorted image and audio

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • iamAleFerrara
    Alessandro Ferrara (@iamAleFerrara) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia Hello there, DAY 5 without Internet connection here and I haven’t received any update from you. Can you PLEASE make some clarity on what is going on and when we can expect this to be fixed? Surely you should have sent a technician to check on us by now… Absolutely awful.

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

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

  • lewisgenney
    lewis genney (@lewisgenney) reported from Kensington, England

    @vmbusiness I am trying to close my account for a few weeks! You are trying to send me late payment charges! Please help Twitter team #badservice

  • 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.

  • 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

  • hodgie_hd
    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

  • sayitrightltd
    Priya🦋 (@sayitrightltd) reported from Kensington, England

    Hey @virginmedia ... my WiFi has been down for over an hour now. Unable to WFH without working WiFi. Help.

  • 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.

    @RevQntmBigfoot @virginmedia the worst part for me is i explained clearly at least 6 times, but each rep was like "lets check wifi" "oh you need a wifi extender" i get more sense talking to the brick wall behind my monitor than any rep from virgin

  • TJAYIREL
    G IREL (@TJAYIREL) reported

    @virginmedia @KatReynolds5 hi any problems in the dublin area? internet went down at some point in the last hour.

  • PC_ale
    Paul Caley (@PC_ale) reported

    @virginmedia internet at ch45 has been up and down several times in the last 24 hours. Always that it will be fixed by 16:07 tomorrow. What is going on?

  • Edeaulx
    Adrian Weale (@Edeaulx) reported

    Hey @VirginMedia, does an incomprehensible email and one desultory telephone call when I wasn't at home and therefore not in a position to answer the 'security' questions constitute your only effort to resolve my complaint reference C-1907261424?

  • MJIllingworth
    Matthew Illingworth (@MJIllingworth) reported

    What compensation am I entitled to as every other day there is an outage in my area. I require constant connection to WiFi and this just isn't providing that service. It's too inconsistent and I'm looking to end my contract because of tgue @virginmedia

  • sephiroth17181
    Seph (@sephiroth17181) reported

    @RevQntmBigfoot @virginmedia with how bad things have gotten ive decided to get rid of virgin and go with EE 1.6gb connection for £35 a month, install is on tuesday. just sick to death of not having a solid connection and people pretending everything is fine when they just read from scripts

  • sephiroth17181
    Seph (@sephiroth17181) reported

    @RevQntmBigfoot @virginmedia i would buy my own router but networking isnt my strongsuit when it comes to tech, all i know is anything is better than the pile of crap virgin supply "their latest and best router" has only 1 2.5gbe port and pisspoor wifi hence why they try pressure you into wifi boosters

  • Kieranbcfc2
    K (@Kieranbcfc2) reported

    @christyboy87 @Rugby_Scoop @virginmedia All I’ve seen on here is people thinking we’re blaming the ref. Like no we know we’re shite, but the ref also was. Wasn’t the reason we lost but we can still say he was bad.

  • UAVHive
    UAVHive (@UAVHive) reported

    @Edeaulx @virginmedia Having worked in telecoms I can vouch for the fact that Virgin Media's customer service is atrocious and I'd argue is the worst in the industry. I would never be a customer of theirs ever again.

    @GrahamCompton @MartinSLewis @ao Reminds me of the 6 months I spent trying to cancel Virgin Media. Sky are almost as bad.
