    @virginmedia Hi, yes I did. But still no service before I left home. Online service checker just said problems with TV & Broadband in my postcode area. Currently not at home, but will check upon my return.

    @themotablogger @virginmedia Terrible in Dagenham too! At least 3 times a day it drops out and normally in the middle of an important meeting! Not good enough!!

  • mistervickster
    Vignesh (@mistervickster) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia how do you have the worst customer service ? Will just have to book a technician to sort out issues with account login.

    I wonder if anyone has a #skyglass connected to a #virginmedia broadband? At least with #SkyQ your TV service will be unaffected

  • mariesnotcool
    Mariachiara (@mariesnotcool) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia we’ve had no service in EC1V London, since our Wi-Fi was installed last month. We’ve tried to call countless time and we keep being told about “area issues” that would be solved the day after but never do. This is just unacceptable behaviour!

  • MisterLeeDaniel
    Mr Lee Daniel (@MisterLeeDaniel) reported from London, England

    Please could @virginmedia on 0330 303 5309 stop calling me, then immediately hanging up. That’s rude. I’ve now blocked your number.

  • silvergoatish
    The waving mechanical roadgoat™ (@silvergoatish) reported from Camden, England

    @virginmedia Duly noted. I'm not likely to be a customer for much longer though, with your general level of service and pricing.

  • markatpt
    Mark Armstrong (@markatpt) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia you have now postponed an installation scheduled for 4th November to Christmas Eve! Can’t see that happening. Maybe someone actually based in the UK might bother to contact me about this? Minded to cancel otherwise. Not acceptable service.

  • SandraS80775853
    Mary (@SandraS80775853) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia @Miss_SKM That is correct. What it does not cover is the persistent loss of service since August!!! #se7. Nor does it cover the absolute woeful customer services, and I use that phrase lightly, which @virginmedia is able to offer.

    @_MxMike @virginmedia It’s been down for us since 1am 😫

    @virginmedia bring back customer service to the UK. Philippines is a joke!

  • tripodmatt
    Matrim Red Hand (@tripodmatt) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia hello - I'm moving house and was told I'd receive something to post back your equipment. Nothing yet. I tried to call but was cut off. Any help?

  • joybrenda
    Brenda (@joybrenda) reported from London, England

    @DannyMonez @virginmedia Yes sat down to watch final episode of " and just like that " and the screen is pixels all across. Just tried to watch on catch up is the same. Virgin Media i want a refund how can this be fixed. Can you tell me when sky will repeat this final episode.

  • paulstevenlewis
    Paul Lewis (@paulstevenlewis) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia how do I connect to London Underground WiFi now you have turned off your own hotspots? Hopefully you are not just depriving all Virgin Media customers of the service! Especially as you are putting all your prices up!

  • RogerHighfield
    Roger Highfield (@RogerHighfield) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia My broadband is down again - area21. Any idea of when it will be fixed?

  • markatpt
    Mark Armstrong (@markatpt) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia You didn’t reach out sadly and I’ve now cancelled the installation. Having spoken to someone clearly at home with her baby screaming in the background I have zero confidence that you are able to help us.

  • _RhysThorne
    Rhys (@_RhysThorne) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia have to be *the* most unreliable WiFi providers. 2 days with no internet and it’s still not working!

    @LPNevin @virginmedia I have the same problem, lost access to my email account

  • BBLn15
    Helen Reihill (@BBLn15) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia I cancelled my broadband subscription in October and Virgin have kept charging me for landline although other provider inform me that they are providing service I just want to close the Virgin account

  • AnnieCaird
    Annie Caird 🌻 (@AnnieCaird) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia How long have you got? I have just sat down in a restaurant to cry on a friend’s shoulder. The nice server said, “how are you?” I just burst into tears! Seriously. My disappointment is palpable. I want to go back to @BT

    @VirginMediaIE isn’t there anyone to help vulnerable customers in Virgin Media? We’ve had a nightmare today with the installation of a new modem which naturally isn’t working or connected to the internet - we paid for a technician to install it for my elderly infirm mother

  • pokerchamp_Cbbo
    Cububo (@pokerchamp_Cbbo) reported

    @koenjideck Only worked well for me in recent years, but it gave me a decade of packet loss and outages before then 😵‍💫 I remember playing games with people on my street at uni, and half the people would disconnect in a lobby whenever Virgin Media had an outage 🥀

    Dollynoocat (@dollynoocat) reported

    To the engineer in the ML4 3EZ area.... lovely man. My complaint had been composed. he changed my mind. Sometimes we don't see someone working from 7am to get things sorted #virginmedia

  • ifarrow
    Ian Farrow (@ifarrow) reported

    @virginmedia broadband down again. Go in to web page and it says try back again in 22hours! Go to tele helpline and it costs a fortune. How can I get help fixing this that doesn’t take 22hours. Shocking customer service.

    Virgin Media is still having an outage. Was supposed to be fixed yesterday, but now estimated fix is 15th April. I'm going (more) insane and I can't afford to not stream so I'll try to stream today at like 8pm ish regardless! 🫠

    @KenTrowbridge3 @virginmedia Worst supplier I have ever had - but we have no choice for full fibre here, so it’s literally the best of a bad bunch. I will change when other providers come in at a heartbeat!
