  • lulumr Lulu (@lulumr) reported from Ilford, England

    @virginmedia Honestly terrible. I had an order number but no one would take responsibility and arrange the installation. Already had Virgin to the house, it would have been so easy for you.

  • JohannaWhitaker Johanna (@JohannaWhitaker) reported from Islington, England

    @billy77483355 @virginmedia I have no issue with the nationality of the agent or where they are based.

  • MarcJTaylor Marc (@MarcJTaylor) reported from Tottenham, England

    @virginmedia It’s not working at all now. Tried to reset the box and since then had no connectivity.

  • MaclarenDeborah Deborah Maclaren (@MaclarenDeborah) reported from Richmond, England

    @virginmedia No. It's an intermittent problem so is currently working. The message that goes out on the phone line ( when I call in to report when it ISN'T working) says Iit's a ''complex problem' . This is frustrating as your customer services ( appalling) said it would take until Sept 9 th

  • OliverMcGrath Ollie McGrath (@OliverMcGrath) reported from Barnet, England

    I had an amazing experience with @virginmedia until I tried to move house with them. I’ve spoke to so many people over the last few days and it’s been horrible.

  • abivedder Abi ن (@abivedder) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia still no internet. Very annoying Saturday evening. I have done every single thing advised, have it plugged in by Ethernet at the moment but it still is not working 🤬🤬

  • OliverMcGrath Ollie McGrath (@OliverMcGrath) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia Our set up day was this week then you told us our street doesn’t have virgin so it would be delayed slightly. You delayed it almost 2 months. Then when I tried to cancel you said it could be installed next week but that was lie. Then you kept calling to sell another deal

  • becca_lewis93 Becca Lewis (@becca_lewis93) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia someone was meant to call me back an hour ago as I have lodged a complaint that my broadband isn’t working. Your call centre could not help and I urgently need engineer as I work from home. I will need to have compensation for taking a days leave otherwise.

  • caillea marty bogert (@caillea) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia Yes, I did. I said that in both my posts. Three times even before and after I rebooted my router. Other people in postcodes near me are reporting the same problem. It reports back that all is well. But there’s no connection to the internet.

  • DanStratford84 Dan (@DanStratford84) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @emotionalprawn @SkyHelpTeam @virginmedia We use virgin and have no issues at all

  • ThistletonM Matthew Thistleton (@ThistletonM) reported from Ilford, England

    @virginmedia Is shows no problem however I have had to switch the box on and off repeatedly today to make it work. If the problem can’t be resolved soon I will simply move to a different company because I am fed up with spending money on a less than adequate service.

  • caillea marty bogert (@caillea) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia @seraybot Yes I’ve run the service test three times last night and this morning before posting here and I’ve rebooted the router several times.

  • APM_Stephen APM External Affairs (@APM_Stephen) reported from Camden Town, England

    It's a disgrace @virginmedia that since Sunday evening we've had no Broadband (NW3) and customer services telling us only "there's a fault in the area"

  • caillea marty bogert (@caillea) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia Actually it doesn’t help because. You guys are failing to read to comprehension.

  • Garrardinho Gary Lager (@Garrardinho) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Can you arrange for one of them to call me tomorrow to resolve as it's a very simple issue but not one I can sort out through your automated service and I don't appreciate being messed about because someone's near the end of their shift.

  • becca_lewis93 Becca Lewis (@becca_lewis93) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia @pgee91 No, the team on the phone have not told us anything except an engineer is on site to fix issue. Meanwhile the ‘Fix estimation’ time continues to go up, and ‘An engineer is on his way’ - is he coming from the call centre in India too as has taken hours...

  • abivedder Abi ن (@abivedder) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia please help, my box won’t work, I can’t watch anything, been sat here for over an hour trying to fix it. So fed up with virgin internet.

  • MarkViveash Mark Viveash (@MarkViveash) reported from Hounslow, England

    Hi @virginmedia I am trying to close a mobile phone account for my dad who has dementia and is unable to speak to answer security questions & we don't have power of attorney. Speaking to your cancellation line has been a waste of time and awful customer service

  • MxAshleighLoeb Ashleigh Jade Loeb (@MxAshleighLoeb) reported from Islington, England

    So @virginmedia have said a broadband outage since last night will be fixed by 12:25, 17:00 now by 20:10! Very disappointed. Going to be paying extra for my mobile data to try to get some work done! #N4

  • royal_hornet David (@royal_hornet) reported

    @virginmedia Virgin Media treat their customers disgracefully. They are ony interested in getting new members. Been with them for 19 years they offered me a new contract the black friday deal of £77 for £124.60

  • kchadda Karan Chadda (@kchadda) reported

    @virginmedia sorry, it's the broadband. The wifi signal around the house is fine.

  • TomFerris97 Tom Ferris (@TomFerris97) reported

    @virginmedia I keep getting directed to your automated online or text service, except they dont work. I can use it from the time it opens to the time it closes and never get connected to a human.

  • bryonycw Bryony Smith Wilson (@bryonycw) reported

    @31tobe @virginmedia Disgusting service and happy enough to take your money but won’t solve any issues @virginmedia

  • tiar_paige 𝘛𝘪𝘢𝘳-𝘗𝘢𝘪𝘨𝘦👑 (@tiar_paige) reported

    @virginmedia Why’s the virgin box not working???!

  • Commander_SJ Commander SJ (@Commander_SJ) reported

    @virginmedia I got through 4 times before, I had agents who's headsets and mics with poor quality and couldn't be heard. placed on hold multiple times to get through to no one. is issue hasn't been resolved because of the poor customer service

  • TheDreamingVoid Temporal Void (@TheDreamingVoid) reported

    @virginmedia Although my broadband is working it cuts out about once a day. I have run the diagnostic through your website several times and it resets it but doesn't fully resolve the issue. I strongly suspect the router is faulty ( it is almost 4 years old). I wanted to request a new one.

  • benobr1 Ben O'Brien (@benobr1) reported

    @virginmedia Engineer was supposed to arrive 8-12pm today. They never bothered to turn up. Had an issue for ages now.

  • Andy_OSullivan Andy O'Sullivan (@Andy_OSullivan) reported

    @virginmedia Your idea 'we're here to help', is providing another phone number for ME to call. Why bother even asking the issue? Do you seriously consider this to be 'help' ?????

  • FNGKJB KJB (@FNGKJB) reported

    @virginmedia I'm used to it to be honest, I have since spoken to someone on the phone. Told someone would ring me re my complaint within seven days. 14 days on, no call.
