    @virginmedia Issue is still ongoing. I have called the helpline twice and after dialling my password and getting a dial tone, I have been cut off both times before speaking to anyone. Are your phone lines broken?

    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

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

    @virginmedia Can you just send a technician over to us? I’d assume you’d prioritise a customer that has been left with no Internet for 5 days? I’m not going to post the issue on an online forum, I’m asking you to provide support please.

  • 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.

  • faysasilva
    Elizabeth Silva (@faysasilva) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia I have not internet in my flat in EC1V9ET since Monday. No explanation no comment and after calling the Customer Service team every day for an update today I was told that I should not be working from home if I’m not a business.! So that’s just 👍 great. That’s why 1

    @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.

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

    Nothing like @virginmedia's **** broadband coverage to kick off the week. No connection for 1 hour now

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

    @virginmedia down yet again. Where's the refund for all the hours lost with no WiFi connection?

  • 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?

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

    @virginmedia I’ve now raised an official complaint! The @virginmedia customer service team were useless! I will be terminating my contract with you ASAP and will advise everyone I know about the level of service you offer #virginmedia #poorcustomerservice

  • 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!

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

    @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

  • 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.

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia There are your usual garbage explanations yes. Saying no fix for hours. Not good enough

  • 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

  • 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.

    @virginmedia experiencing outage of broadband since yesterday afternoon, it stated fix by 4.07am then moved to 4.07pm today! Working from home with no internet means now on my on second day of not being able to work 😖 you must know what is wrong!! Not just “there’s an issue”

  • helenmildenhall
    Helen Mildenhall (@helenmildenhall) reported

    @virginmedia I sent an email complaint to Virgin Media on behalf of my late father’s estate about his Virgin Media account, then got a reply from the O2 resolution team addressed to my father not me saying they can’t find his O2 account - but it was Virgin Media.

  • alvarezluisf
    Luis Alvarez (@alvarezluisf) reported

    Does anyone else in Ireland has @VirginMediaIE as their mobile data provider? It's THE WORST service out there! God do I regret switching to Virgin Media, this mistake has cost me money and patience.

  • GW_Mktg
    GW 🔰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@GW_Mktg) reported

    @O2 terrible signal in my own home. @virginmedia have let me down (yet again) so no WiFi equals no use of phone. Long-standing client and not really feeling that benefit. Started a DM conversation which went dead. Please help

  • Vincent2455
    VB (@Vincent2455) reported

    Received a text from @virginmedia asking me to return an unused device or they will charge me for something I did not request. Made the mistake of calling for address stickers for the return item. Big mistake!! No support! No idea. No stickers. How will this play out in court!!

  • HRH_Duke_of_Url
    Dadaldo (@HRH_Duke_of_Url) reported

    Virgin Media are the worst. They strong armed me into a ****** deal to take out an O2 sim for £5 a month just to get affordable broadband. Now when my broadband's down, which happens weekly, I check their online service checker and it bounces me to a virgin02 sign in page.

  • Nokkapie
    Paul Tee (@Nokkapie) reported

    Yes @virginmedia I love being charged more than the contract I agreed! I also love being ignored when making a formal complaint. Defo won be renewing another contract. Awful behaviour from a business ive used for 20 years!

  • StephenOld
    Stephen Old #FBPE (@StephenOld) reported

    @thenorth4theeu @virginmedia I tried to change a few years ago but they made the process impossible. They sent me texts instead of emails and no other providers will deal with Virgin directly. They have just been fined for their poor customer service, I think. They don't even reach basic standards of decency

  • 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.
