  • Ianharwooduk Ian Harwood (@Ianharwooduk) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia No just virgin being terrible. Hence why I want to leave. This is not just a one off. We have had these issues for months and your customer service is terrible as well. So I have had enough

  • Ianharwooduk Ian Harwood (@Ianharwooduk) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia Everything. Broadband is terrible. Slow. Unreliable. Your customer service is terrible. I am cancelling the direct debit now. I was on hold for over 1 hour trying to leave

  • xenia_ina Xenia Messerschmitt (@xenia_ina) reported from Tottenham, England

    @virginmedia I have no Internet all day, and nobody is responding on message service and phone call. On messages I'm in the queue all day, and phone I just keep getting hung up after being on hold for an hour or so ... 😡😡😡😡

  • invisiblehive Pocket Tips (@invisiblehive) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia worst service now. Paying for a TiVo box and have had no wifi or TV working for nearly 9 months now. Have tried a booster now cannot get through to cs.

  • POWfitnessUK Matthew hirst (@POWfitnessUK) reported from Southall, England

    VirginMedia customer service is disgusting. Had loss of service for 6 weeks and now fixed refusing to pay compensation owed. You will be losing a customer in me.

  • Ianharwooduk Ian Harwood (@Ianharwooduk) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia Your broadband is terrible. I am suppose to have 350meg and it is under 20 on speed test. Your customer service team are incompetent at best. Being told I was being put on hold while they try and sort the broadband out and the agent never came back and didn’t call me back either

  • tonywiseman1976 Tony Wiseman (@tonywiseman1976) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I have better things to do with my time than phoning @virginmedia The system should pick up on this. Virgin’s system is quick to chase me regarding the return of a bloody hub. Absolutely atrocious service.

  • Ianharwooduk Ian Harwood (@Ianharwooduk) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia No just virgin being terrible. Hence why I want to leave

  • Ianharwooduk Ian Harwood (@Ianharwooduk) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia Supposed to have a 350 meg line. We get speeds of 20 Meg. The router keeps freezing. The router doesn’t reach all the rooms in the house. Internet connection drops regularly. Basically anything that could go wrong does. Terrible.

  • realjonconnor 🔥Jon Connor (No not that one) (@realjonconnor) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia It's not even about that. Even when there are no faults. I still get lag and disconnection issues. Very frustrating

  • DeanCallan Dean Callan (@DeanCallan) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia Every night I lose internet, I might just stop the direct debit and see how long it takes you to fix that?

  • maxbhill Max (@maxbhill) reported from Croydon, England

    @virginmedia Is this really the standard of service you think is acceptable

  • sbraganza Stan Braganza (@sbraganza) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia no internet in N14 since 1035am. Had to cancel work meetings. Compensation?

  • pauldurie p2.0 ✊🏻 🏳️‍🌈 #BLM (@pauldurie) reported from London, England

    @PippaCrerar @virginmedia If you're using a Virgin router I would buy another one as they're useless Main issue I found was they don't switch between 2.4GHz/5GHz very well If you want stronger signal then switch off 5GHz

  • RanjanMallya Ranjan Mallya (@RanjanMallya) reported from Croydon, England

    Dear @virginmedia Your contact us chat service online isn't working either!!!!

  • AgneseRovati Agnese Rovati ✨ English-Italian Translator ✨ (@AgneseRovati) reported from Brentford, England

    @virginmedia hello? Are you there? Have been a Virgin Media costumer for literally 3 days and I’ve already got the worse service and am very disappointed by the overall experience. I’ve been trying to call someone from the customer service team since Friday to no avail...

  • dkurland92 Donnchadh (@dkurland92) reported from Brentford, England

    @virginmedia hey is there a problem with the internet in NW London it’s very slow today ?

  • Ianharwooduk Ian Harwood (@Ianharwooduk) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia Terrible. Please have someone call me so I can leave as I have wasted 1.5 hours on hold trying to get through to do this

  • calummew Calum Mew (@calummew) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia WiFi down in London N15 😫 Every time we call it simply tells us to restart our hub which we’ve done 12 times. How can we speak to a human being? Trying to work from home!

  • rob_green86 Rob Green Jnr (@rob_green86) reported from Poplar, England

    @virginmedia Yea I do that and it says to reboot my Hub 3. Which I do and then get 15mb for 2 mins and then back to 4mb. Can you please DM me with a link to online tech support because I've already wasted 3 hours this week trying to get through on the phone.

  • JaneJjmack Jane Mackenzie (@JaneJjmack) reported

    @virginmedia so I cancelled back in jan our last bill was Feb. You have now charged me for line rental that you are not providing. Your service is appalling. You sort this today or I’m off to ofcom

  • MichaelQ316 Michael Quinn (@MichaelQ316) reported

    @virginmedia I do this every time it happens and it passes all the tests and says there is no fault yet it still continues to happen. I've figured out a way to fix the issue myself though and that is by charging supplier.

  • genius_learning Peter Freeth (@genius_learning) reported

    @virginmedia I posted on Wednesday 24th. 3 general members have replied. No-one from VM has replied. The problem is ongoing. Error rate is over 150000 errors per channel. Packet loss is over 40%.

  • Bill62309344 Bill* (@Bill62309344) reported

    @virginmedia Wired and wireless it's almost like you turn it off, surely not. You've turned BBC2 off havent you because of HD issues try to keep up 😱

  • RichardUnstead Richard Unstead (@RichardUnstead) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for replying, there is a better deal but as a loyal customer since the Telewest days it's not open to me. I'd be content with anything I'd consider fair, even if it were slightly more but £71 vs. £35.99 .... There must be a middle ground.

  • MelSharpe1 Mel Sharpe (@MelSharpe1) reported

    @virginmedia Not till tomorrow afternoon Hope you cancel my bill this month. Terrible service . I need my internet to work some people work on a Sunday

  • Bill62309344 Bill* (@Bill62309344) reported

    @virginmedia Did that spoke to your machine that found a fault and is sending a signal to try to fix it, however this is only putting a plaster on the problem, it'll happen again and BBC2 is still unavailable, your service very poor

  • donk0802 Mick Robinson (@donk0802) reported

    I’m sick of @virginmedia dropping out all the time has anyone got @SkyUK internet out there? is it reliable enough to support my sons ps5 etc? Just asking before I dump and jump provider .. just asking for me

  • jonnyca87808033 loony tunes (@jonnyca87808033) reported

  • LFC_VK *VK (@LFC_VK) reported
