    @AbzAaron @virginmedia Even better… if you don’t play along, nobody else will cancel it. You can’t even hang up on the sales pitch.

    @virginmedia it's been 3 hours and we still don't have WiFi. We shouldn't have to wait 48 hours of bad service for a refund when this **** happens every few days 😵#virginmediadown

    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.

    @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

    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.

    @virginmedia it’s been over one month of really poor or inexistent broadband service in London W11. I hope you won’t charge us for the last month.

    @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.

  • Anthony_Lonres
    Anthony Payne (@Anthony_Lonres) reported from Kensington, England

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

  • 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

  • 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

    @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

  • 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.

    @virginmedia The Wi-Fi hasn’t been working since 1 a.m. It says there’s an outage in the area, but I can’t reach customer service either. There still haven’t been any further updates. There’s no information about when it will be fixed or what’s going on.

    @virginmedia having issues with our internet going offline multiple times a day. Been happening for weeks and just happened again for the 5th time today. What’s happening with the network lately?

  • worleyyy
    Dan Worley (@worleyyy) reported

    @virginmedia You clearly don't take it seriously enough. I've complained multiple times over the last year and because I haven't made a complaint twice in one month you won't do anything and force me to pay a £400 fee to exit my contract. Utter horrendous service!! Worst internet company ever

    Currently suing Virgin Media so know what you mean. They caused me to miss a critical operation on my upper spine. Been left with life changing chronic nerve damage.

    @MichelleBeckett @SkyUK @VodafoneUK Same experience when my father died in September. Everyone was fantastic. Insurance, banks, utilities. Everything dealt with, no dramas & gave us plenty room & time to get paperwork. Virginmedia were horrible. Forced my mum to take out another contract before they’d close my dads
