    @hellylovesrawk @Ellydoestelly @CTweakThorne Oh no, never at work! This was to Virgin Media, who were clawing onto keeping me as a customer and sending me bills months after I'd cancelled the service!

  • 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.

    @TfL why is the 4G signal on the Central line underground only around the posh area's of Notting Hill Gate, Queensway and Holland Park? Since @virginmedia stopped their WiFi in April it's annoying that a major metropolis like London has no internet connections on a lot of lines

    @virginmedia All these problems. But still fleecing money from us.

    @BBCWatchdog I was without TV service with Virgin Media for over a week this month, could only use chat bot, eventually a live chat with a person because I took to twitter, but they couldn't help me either. Still waiting for the comp form they said would come automatically.

  • tomaszrykala
    Tomasz Rykała (@tomaszrykala) reported from London, England

    Wow @virginmedia is having a complete meltdown in my area and their automated service is telling me that this "short" interruption to my internet services should be resolved at 10 am tomorrow. That's 14 hours from now! What if my work depended on it?

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

  • joybrenda

    @virginmedia help why have you made it so difficult to log a landline vault on line. Need to call, as line out of order since friday. I am certain it's systems fault as display message I have seen on previous occasions.

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia Brilliant get out clause @virginmedia. What you fail to realise is that when your so called service goes down for hours at a time, over the course of time amounts to so, so so much more than 48 hours!! Roll on switching of providers.

    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.

  • ChristineAllado
    Christine Allado (@ChristineAllado) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Looks like there are issues that need to be resolved hopefully by tomorrow.. Is this something that might be fixed sooner and am I able to seek compensation?

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

    I've just had to suffer the same 4 songs,1 a poor cover of 'Where my Rosemary goes', on a loop, in 2,45 mins of waiting for @virginmedia to pick up. Within 10 mins of engineer fixing fault, its playing up again. Its also the end of my contract so I want to deal with it.

  • JeffSalmon
    Jeff Salmon (@JeffSalmon) reported from Camden Town, England

    Cont… @virginhelp @virginmedia What can be so difficult that a COMPETENT team of engineers can’t fix in these days. The fact is we believe that virgin are a team of incompetents and the time has come for us all to leave Virgin. You are a disgrace.

  • jfcolomer
    Juan Folgar Colomer (@jfcolomer) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia what's the reason for the intermittent broadband service in the Charlton #SE7 area? Any ETA when this will be solved?

  • 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)

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

  • 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.

  • jrseloto
    Francisco Soler (Jr) (@jrseloto) reported from City of London, England

    @virginmedia 11 May - which of course i will cancel today as I’ve had enough of this. too much stress and no TV or internet for 30 days

    @Oldbloke74 @virginmedia I have to admit the bloke on the call centre helpline was really nice and helpful but the problem was he seems to just have been making up stuff to make me happy with what I heard as what he said and what has actually happened aren't even close to being in the same postcode 😢

    @virginmedia Absolutely appalled at the incompetent awful level of service. Over 3 hours on live chat trying to sort out my 96 year old grandmother contract as you are trying to charge her an obscene amount of money and I am no further forward.

    Eden Gem (@edengem) reported

    @virginmedia Help Please! Just been given incorrect advice from 4xoverseas tech support. Initial issue was an error code & “black listed IP server” that stopped desktop emails from working. Any advice as advice now cancelled iPhone email. TIA

  • AngeStevenson
    andrea stevenson (@AngeStevenson) reported

    @virginmedia hi! I keep getting a message saying to upgrade my virgin box to get sky Atlantic - is it easy to install myself, is it a case of using the same wires as my existing box so a quick change over? Also my internet is often very poor, I assume this won’t affect the box?

  • edengem
    Eden Gem (@edengem) reported

    @virginmedia please Help! Just had 3 overseas tech calls trying to solve desktop email error. Last person has now cancelled all email iPhone email then passed me to someone else! Appreciate yr assistance.

  • jasoncainesmith
    Jason Caine Smith (@jasoncainesmith) reported

    @virginmedia pathetic service!! I thought Sky were bad but this is disgusting! You send a new box out to an 83 year old man and expect him to install it and when by miracle his son manages to do this you don’t activate it from your end!! Several calls and you
