  • chersvacca Cherstyn Hurley (@chersvacca) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia what is happening, disastrous internet today, total outage for hours at a time in North London. #deadlines and #homeworking impossible with this lack of service ? No explanation or idea when it will be restored

  • andylockran Andy 🏊🚴🏻🏃 (@andylockran) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @virginmedia my internet appears to be down, and your status page appears to suggests it’s up. Any idea if there an issue? E11

  • andypurbrick Huey Morgan Gluten Freeman (@andypurbrick) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @virginmedia It now says that there's a known fault in my area that will be fixed today. So, why did Mark say it was planned maintenance to be resolved on 24th and why wouldn't he share the number without closing my complaint?

  • andypurbrick Huey Morgan Gluten Freeman (@andypurbrick) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @virginmedia I was told by Mark in your call centre in the Philippines that this was planned maintenance and my connection will be down until 24th - I wasn't informed this was going to happen. I need broadband to work from home 🤷

  • shaomeeng Shaomeeng (@shaomeeng) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @BruceBa06826486 @virginmedia Really cannot understand why virginMedia has selected to lower down its customer service quality? What did it get, a cheaper labour ??

  • khem21766391 Khemical (@khem21766391) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia internets down again.. is there an outage?

  • andylockran Andy 🏊🚴🏻🏃 (@andylockran) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @virginmedia I’m not paying you for a self-service option. I’m paying for a service you’re not delivering - the onus is on you to fix it - not me!

  • ianeastlondon IanEastLondon (@ianeastlondon) reported from Poplar, England

    @virginmedia Sometimes. But that’s not the issue. It behaves the same if not connected to VPN.

  • khem21766391 Khemical (@khem21766391) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia One of your service providers have just said there is a problem in the area and the internet will be down until the 23rd March... surely this can’t be correct...

  • AngusTeee Angus Teee (@AngusTeee) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia Please can you explain why broadband has gone down in the London N1 area and what you are doing to remedy this? I have an urgent deadline to hit and currently have no internet access ...

  • andypurbrick Huey Morgan Gluten Freeman (@andypurbrick) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @virginmedia He also refused to give me another Virgin Media telephone phone number to contact unless I closed a complaint that I wanted to make about this

  • andylockran Andy 🏊🚴🏻🏃 (@andylockran) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @virginmedia Your phone number just informed me that there is a problem across E11 with expected resolution time of 12.30 Surely that’s information you have available to share; rather than making customers dial in to find that out?

  • andypurbrick Huey Morgan Gluten Freeman (@andypurbrick) reported from Walthamstow, England

    Morning @virginmedia, your famously unreliable but expensive broadband service is down in Walthamstow (again)

  • khem21766391 Khemical (@khem21766391) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia Yes, it says I have a good internet speed which is incorrect. As I said before, Iv contacted your customer service and one of your agents said that the internet will be down until 23rd March & that there is an outage in the area. Surely it cant take that long to correct a fault

  • ianeastlondon IanEastLondon (@ianeastlondon) reported from Poplar, England

    @virginmedia It was to try and fix my router / modem issues. I didn’t arrange it, the person I spoke to not the phone (the fifth person) said she had arranged it.

  • andypurbrick Huey Morgan Gluten Freeman (@andypurbrick) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @virginmedia How can I speak to someone in the UK to make a complaint? Worth noting I'm out of contract and can switch away from Virgin anytime I like

  • M0BPQ Steve Bunting (@M0BPQ) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @virginmedia The VM app says no service problems but I have 8MB download tonight on a 200MB service. Lots of disconnects today too. Calling 150 results in them telling me to wait for it to get better.

  • shaomeeng Shaomeeng (@shaomeeng) reported from Walthamstow, England

    VirginMedia used to have an executive team which were willing put things right by hearing customer complaints, investigating them, and providing fair solutions. Is that team still available? @virginmedia

  • M0BPQ Steve Bunting (@M0BPQ) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @virginmedia Sadly the service is rubbish again today after a couple of ok days.

  • shaomeeng Shaomeeng (@shaomeeng) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @virginmedia Apart from saying sorry, can you genuinely do something to help customers ?

  • manusjflynn Manus (@manusjflynn) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for the quick response. The online service is no use to me as I need to speak to your customer retention team. The impending increase takes my package to £150!! I can get a much better deal from Sky/BT.

  • HenrySwanick Henry Swanick (@HenrySwanick) reported

    @virginmedia a few days ago I phoned I phoned to say I was having issues with router 5ghz intermittent and 2ghz rubbish Today I have no 5ghz and 2ghz again is dreadful I am now on the phone to someone saying its configeration she went away and didn't come back its awful service

  • david_guy19 David Guy (@david_guy19) reported

    @virginmedia I tried to speak to a manager yesterday and the response I got on the phone from customer services was everyone is on the phone sorry. Then hung up on me. Shocking really

  • KeithCP2 Keith Pates (@KeithCP2) reported

    @virginmedia I have tried all ways but you have removed all sources of communication no email, no postal address, no DM, only ring premium rate numbers I don't have money for food let alone make a premium rate call, I have been with Virgin since 1999,2000 a long term Customer

  • TheGyenn Gyenn (@TheGyenn) reported

    @virginmedia thanks, guys. I just spent 40 minutes on hold listening to the same inane songs and messages, before being cut off. Stunning customer service.

  • mysticmeg_xo Megan Jean (@mysticmeg_xo) reported

    @virginmedia I've been trying to get through (for the second time) for almost 35 minutes now. I just want to cancel my account - can I do this online?

  • _Ysff1 Yb (@_Ysff1) reported

    WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU DELIVER MY PARCEL 20 HOUSES DOWN AND SAY ITS MY NEIGHBOUR @virginmedia @YodelOnline

  • NoName_xx_ahf Non offensive name for the nice social media rep (@NoName_xx_ahf) reported

    @virginmedia Could I just dm you my account number and you deal with the complaint and write the resolution to me?

  • melaniebrand7 melanie brand (@melaniebrand7) reported

    @virginmedia I've been with you for 25 years. Talking to someone that understands what I want is impossible, that is when you finally get through. yesterday I had to endure a very rude young lady that amounted to bullying!!!!!!! And yet again I am hanging on to speak with a human.

  • LauraFergusonBT Laura Ferguson (@LauraFergusonBT) reported

    @virginmedia 3 days of over an hour on hold trying to reach you. I'm calling the cancel your service department. How do I get hold of anyone please.
