  • SamanthaOvens Samantha Ovens 🏳️‍🌈 La! (@SamanthaOvens) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @virginmedia It happens so often tbh, what is the actual issue in Battersea that makes it a repetitive problem? Also why am I not able to register a loss of service on your app?

  • KyleSew2112 Kyle S (@KyleSew2112) reported from Bromley, England

    Virgin media is ****, not cable #thismorning

  • domoriley Dom O'Riley (@domoriley) reported from Esher, England

    @virginmedia Everybody in your company said it should be brought forward then no one calls back and I have to ring to find out nothing is happening .. resolutions team have actually sent a response which is untrue and basically ignore me.. very very poor service @virginmedia

  • KyleFair1985 Kyle Simon Fair (@KyleFair1985) reported from East Ham, England

    @virginmedia additionally we spoke to four advisors, who told us a ‘manager’ would call back in 24/48 hours - this never happened. What sort of company is this? She is SEVENTY FIVE years old, shame on you. Now she is stuck in her contract. It’s been one month

  • SamanthaOvens Samantha Ovens 🏳️‍🌈 La! (@SamanthaOvens) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @virginmedia Thank you for sending the link, that did enable me to at least register the loss of service.

  • domoriley Dom O'Riley (@domoriley) reported from Esher, England

    @virginmedia Changed it from 21/7 so I’m afraid it’s just appalling service and no one gives a damn..@Richard should be ashamed of the complete mask of empathy and service from @virginmedia

  • lajeje13 Jessica (@lajeje13) reported from Tottenham, England

    @virginmedia you had issues in my area (N4) since last night - you sent a text messaged notifying that they’ve been solved and after less than one hour, I am back without broadband - WTF

  • SueTigee Sue Tigee (@SueTigee) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia I didn’t receive an invoice but had a DD taken from my account. I am not sure why I need an engineer either as there is a virgin media box from the previous renters. My ISSUE is the delay and that 41 days is not acceptable! Please actually help! I need to be able to work!!!

  • SueTigee Sue Tigee (@SueTigee) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia This really is #unacceptable, it’s been 26 days already without internet! I paid £50 for the move and in addition am paying for your service that I clearly can’t use!

  • tobe2b Andrew Lawden (@tobe2b) reported from Lambeth, England

    @virginmedia are you going for "cant be bothered " customer service award ? 3 weeks , still no call and you ask me to call you ? Really ?

  • hakster2 hakster (@hakster2) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @virginmedia the most expensive internet money can buy but goes down twice in 4 days and takes 48 hours to fix 45 min on the phone to be told nothing they can do shocking customer service

  • NiciEberlPhoto Nici Eberl Photography (@NiciEberlPhoto) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia lol thanks for replying with a template but I am in the opposite end of London - North London, Archway, N19… why is our signal disappearing every afternoon?! this needs to be fixed as we are getting in troubles with work because of this!!

  • Caz_Candiboots Caz_Bolt (@Caz_Candiboots) reported from Bromley, England

    Sure someone having a fricken laugh, now the line dead... Anyone on #virginmedia in the orpington area having trouble with their land line?.

  • bludogsix Ethan Truss (@bludogsix) reported from Croydon, England

    @virginmedia thank you for sending out an engineer after the previous two couldn't fix our ongoing issue, but it would've been nice to have gotten a text or more than one call from an unknown number to confirm whether or not they are actually coming x

  • MaryJldn Mary-J 🏳️‍🌈 (@MaryJldn) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia I should have learnt to never go back to you guys. Great that #Richardbranson is off to space. But. The broadband is still rubbish.

  • Strudelsdoodles Carlyann Price (@Strudelsdoodles) reported

    @virginmedia any chance you can log no broadband in tf7 area of Telford been off for hours and I am just getting blank pages on mobile data no help at all!

  • SteveSlade273 Steve Slade (@SteveSlade273) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for the reply. How come a new customer can have the same deal for £35 a month cheaper than an existing customer? Doesn't really seem fair tbh

  • obsilverfox Ollie Brown (@obsilverfox) reported

    @virginmedia I am away and roaming isn’t working. It won’t reliably connect. I have already restated the phone multiple times. I’ve enabled roaming both in mobile data and sim applications I’ve tried to auto select network and tried all networks available…

  • ozi9mm oz (@ozi9mm) reported

    @virginmedia Are you taking the... Did you not read what I wrote? I want to speak to someone but this is not possible they put you on hold when you want to cancel and drop you. It's like a new tactic done in call centres so people can't cancel. Will be complaining to ombundsman

  • jennifenicole Jenna (@jennifenicole) reported

    I cannot express enough how much I hate virgin media...possibly the worse customer service ever

  • DominicGlynn1 Dominic Glynn (@DominicGlynn1) reported

    @virginmedia Have tried calling that number. They only will talk to me if I have a Virgin phone service or if I want to take out a new contract.

  • OfficialJayDizz Jay (@OfficialJayDizz) reported

    @virginmedia So been with virgin over 7 years, took out a contract with them for max tv, weekend calls for the phone and 300 broadband. 46 a month going up to 81 (but told me I could call up and get a deal or cancel) called up the deal was 76 so I cancelled.

    @virginmedia How does that help me now?

  • tfoyle Tom Foyle (@tfoyle) reported

    @virginmedia No. New SIM. It's just poor signal . After checking on a cell signal app the signal was being delivered from 02 infrastructure not Vodafone as was before.

  • tfoyle Tom Foyle (@tfoyle) reported

    @GirlJambo @virginmedia They are migrating customers over to 02s infrastructure hense I have also experienced deterioration of network quality
