    @virginhelp @MistryMistry21 @virginmedia Virgin Media give really poor customer service. I’ve been waiting over 14 hours? It feels like your customer service team is a team of 1

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

  • DerrickSWB
    Derrick Brown (@DerrickSWB) reported from Lower Clapton, England

    @virginmedia The uplink is failing and it’s being denied access to the network as it’s poking and failing

    @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!!

  • KikassP
    kikassPhotography(official) 🇬🇧🇺🇦 (@KikassP) reported from London, England

    @thatmisterj @virginmedia I'm so sick of it I WILL be leaving Virgin. No-one picking up phone, Just saying there appears to be an intermittent fault. Well No **** Sherlock, I already know that. A dumb text telling me to do what I've already done. I'm not thick Virgin I just want the service I pay for.

  • BobCratchitt
    Andee Byford (@BobCratchitt) reported from City of London, England

    @virginmedia Well I guess as it went down Wednesday afternoon and if all goes well back up tomorrow we will automatically qualify.

  • squeakytoy
    Steven Peterson 🏳️‍🌈 (@squeakytoy) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia I’ve already terminated my service with you since you were unable to get it installed in less than a month.

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

    @virginmedia 14 hour wait for a response on your chat bot and I still haven’t passed security. That’s some service

  • drawing_daily
    Steven Kraan (@drawing_daily) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia I managed to pay it in the end but please could you fix your website…there’s some weird redirecting happening when trying to either view or pay your bill. London/Broadband

    @virginmedia @virginhelp Tries test but got a message it couldn't andnto try later. Not checked other service but you have a known issue re TV services on your status page

    @virginmedia If you were sorry, this issues was fixed long time ago…

  • WilsonJevelyn

    @VirginMedia wi-fi just cut out AGAIN! Annoying when one is in the middle of something. WHY!

  • guyrleech
    Guy Leech (@guyrleech) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia Here we go, phones again. This is the 21st century where other communication methods are much more efficient. I'll be surprised if they do respond to me and actually help with my 2 open support tickets (both failing your SLA)

  • Barchetta66
    Helen Pinkers (@Barchetta66) reported from Islington, England

    @Whiskey_Mick @virginmedia We’ve just had the same experience - waited 8 days. Not a word from them. Not a human spoken to. If I had another choice I’d drop them. 0/10 for customer service.

  • Lozraus
    Rex (@Lozraus) reported from London, England

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

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia I would not have used these terms as I didn’t know them however I presumed that all the necessary work would be done in the background. Why would I keep the landline with Virgin when I was VERY UNHAPPY with the service provided

  • starmanuk
    Jason Starman QBE 💙 (@starmanuk) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia No issues reported. But 7 houses locally reporting outages on local forums. This is happening frequently.

    @virginmedia your service checker isn’t working. Can you please advise of service issues in the N1 area as the broadband has gone down again? Thank you.

    @virginmedia first day on your services no TV on my stream boxes told 4 hours ago they can guarantee it will be back on with the next 2 still nothing, tempted to cancel and tell sky I'm staying put

  • AlexMacLeod9
    Alex MacLeod 🌻 (@AlexMacLeod9) reported

    @spudbishop666 @virginmedia I was a VM customer for 30 odd years but ditched them recently because of price and customer service. Last price hike took me package to £235 a month. Now with EE at £86 a month for similar TV and broadband package but no landline phone which we didn't use anyway.

  • palmer606
    Andrew palmer (@palmer606) reported

    @virginmedia ur service is poor and as for ur customer services/ help is even worse, tried for 3 nights to call = no answer and online help is rubbish as soon as up for renewal I’ll be off to @skytv

  • Bigg_F_
    BigF (@Bigg_F_) reported

    @virginmedia Yes. Eventually got through via chat to a real person. They advised a factory reset of hub which is a complete pain to set back up and it made no difference. Engineer arranged to come today. I also raised a formal complaint. Mysteriously it’s working two hours later.

    Hi @virginmedia — there’s no internet at my home in Derby,UK. I’ve already restarted the router but still no connection. Can you please check if there’s an outage or help resolve this ASAP? Thanks!

    @virginmedia shocking service tried to raise a complaint took 1 hour over webchat person dealing with it still couldn't grasp it left chat after an hour you don't even have a complaints email utterly pathetic company Ombudsman it is gone on too long

  • flop_flip60295
    Flip Flop (@flop_flip60295) reported

    @virginmedia getting 100mb a second on your gigabyte package and was told there was issues. Was escalated to the complaints team who advised nothing is wrong! Shocking customer service even when it was acknowledged its nowhere near what im paying for

  • entrustTMF
    entrustTMF (@entrustTMF) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for the reply @virginmedia but, frankly, these are just platitudes as usual. What is needed is action to sort the problem and accurate fix dates as opposed to the random, made up,ones I've been given so far Also, why not supply clients with MiFi solutions to help them?
