  • 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...

  • 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 🤷

  • 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

  • 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

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

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

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

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

  • craiginmotion craig crawford (@craiginmotion) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia F*k YOU. No wifi for a week. Waiting for a supervisor to call me back within 24 hours. FOUR DAYS Later and 2 IDIOT technicians ... cancel my service NOW. I’m moving my building Into the 22nd century. Keep playing with copper wires See ya *******

  • 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

  • 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

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

  • 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?

  • 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!

  • 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?

  • 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

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

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

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia I made a complaint in Feb 13 to dispute about the undue charges. On Mar 6 and 17, virginMedia claimed to write me a letter and Mar 18 to have emailed me, I’ve received nothin. Now virginMedia is to disconnect me tomorrow for outstanding payment. I requested to cancel just now

  • 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 ...

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

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

  • MISTA_FRAZAN MISTA FRAZAN (@MISTA_FRAZAN) reported

    @virginmedia Can you confirm if you would charge an existing in contract customer who moves to a new build property where you can not provide the service?

  • ravi_mal Ravi Mal (@ravi_mal) reported

    @virginmedia I'm not asking you to change. I want to know if my understanding is correct. DB had a potential solution, but nobody has followed up on that, even after I provided my build number. Was DB referring to Tivo or 360..?

  • Captain_Chaosss Captain Chaos - DON'T LOOK UP! (@Captain_Chaosss) reported

    @virginmedia @HamzahKhonat I don't play online gaming ??? This shows the level of service at Virgin LOL, you haven't got a clue

  • angelab2711 angela b (@angelab2711) reported

    @XtopherCalvert @virginmedia I have exactly the same problem

  • keyswalker Keys Walker (@keyswalker) reported

    @virginmedia your organisation and customer service has been an absolute joke. Today a 3rd engineer has turned up to install inside arranged by yourselves when external works are yet to be completed, a complete waste of everyone’s time. Tomorrow marks 4 weeks of no internet!

  • sankark4 Sankar (@sankark4) reported

    @skysports @virginmedia I am a VM customer having separate subscription to sky sports hd package. But can't get sky sports mix which today's IPL cricket. Why cannot I get sky sports mix with my sports package???

  • inmonopinion Kevin (@inmonopinion) reported

    @virginmedia @offcom @bbcwatchdog Why do Virgin Media treat their customers so badly? I truly think they are the worst media company I have ever dealt with. Nothing you do is fair or justifiable…is it that you just don’t care? #virginmedia #worstmediaprovider #bbcwatchdog

  • XtopherCalvert Christopher Calvert (he/him) (@XtopherCalvert) reported

    @virginmedia No, I entered my a/c number and area reference and then the automated response said there was a complex problem that engineers would take time to resolve. Yet, when I enter my postcode in your website, it says all is fine?!

  • philipmarkham philmarkham 🖖🏻 (@philipmarkham) reported

    @virginmedia bravo to your yet again terrible service-making my area without internet or phone all day because of doing planned work in my area-if it’s planned-TELL YOUR CUSTOMERS!!!!!!

  • __imrank Imran (@__imrank) reported

    @virginmedia @nanners327 Getting a similar issue whereby it says there is nothing on the red button
