    @virginmedia have to be *the* most unreliable WiFi providers. 2 days with no internet and it’s still not working!

  • BBLn15
    Helen Reihill (@BBLn15) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia 14 hour wait for a response on your chat bot and I still haven’t passed security. That’s some service

  • 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?

  • markatpt
    Mark Armstrong (@markatpt) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia you have now postponed an installation scheduled for 4th November to Christmas Eve! Can’t see that happening. Maybe someone actually based in the UK might bother to contact me about this? Minded to cancel otherwise. Not acceptable service.

  • zkhussain
    Zahida (@zkhussain) reported from City of London, England

    @virginmedia can you please answer your phone as I want to cancel my contract. Or give me an alternative number to contact you on.

  • Barchetta66
    Helen Pinkers (@Barchetta66) reported from Camden Town, England

    Our 4th day of no internet thanks to @virginmedia Can’t talk to a person. Fix date changes three times a day and it’s yet to be fixed. And yet they take a small fortunes out of our account every month.

  • DerrickSWB
    Derrick Brown (@DerrickSWB) reported from Lower Clapton, England

    @virginmedia The uplink is failing and it’s being denied access to the network as it’s poking and failing

  • emmalouchu
    Emma Churcher-Holt (@emmalouchu) reported from Camden Town, England

    @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.

  • sharlewis58
    Shar 💙 #IStandWithUkraine (@sharlewis58) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia the tv connection has had a fault since 8th June. You are "working on it", & each day checking status the date to fix is moved further away. You do not refund for lack of service why is that? And text updates are not received. And its STILL not working.

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia Your bland response is no different to the info being said on your website. Rather than tell everyone that the fix will be ready in a few hours (as you have done for the past three days), why not tell us what the problem is and stop giving us false hopes. Your response please.

  • DerrickSWB
    Derrick Brown (@DerrickSWB) reported from Lower Clapton, England

    @virginmedia It’s arranged (3rd time) for engineer visit tomorrow 4-7pm…. I just hope they don’t randomly cancel again

  • WilsonJevelyn
    Dr Jan Evelyn-Wilson (@WilsonJevelyn) reported from London, England

    @VirginMedia wi-fi just cut out AGAIN! Annoying when one is in the middle of something. WHY!

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

    @virginmedia If you were sorry, this issues was fixed long time ago…

  • _Lewis_A
    Lewis Allen ⚒ (@_Lewis_A) reported from London, England

    @ameehan71 @virginmedia All new and reconnected. 200mb then next day nothing, comes on for a day then drops to 10mb. Talk to customer service and they don't have a clue. They also want over £400 for me to leave. Worst service I've ever known

  • gendal
    Richard Gendal Brown (@gendal) reported from City of London, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for your help but this is a problem only Three can sort! Their new system works where it’s deployed. The problem is that they haven’t deployed it everywhere - eg Elizabeth Line.

  • joybrenda
    Brenda (@joybrenda) reported from London, England

    @skytv due to Virgin media issues, couldn't watch the final episode of " and just like that" , screen pixated. When will you repeat so I can watch/record. #virginmedia

  • rhymerrigby
    Rhymer Rigby (@rhymerrigby) reported from London, England

    @scribblercat @virginmedia The frequency of posts like this is why I'll never leave BT. IME, they're reliable and I care about that far more than speed, price, etc.

  • BBLn15
    Helen Reihill (@BBLn15) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia I presume so. I was quite clear I wanted to leave Virgin as I was not happy with the services provided even though they tried to keep me as a customer. I feel Virgin are making it as difficult as possible and I am paying for it

  • madebycatem
    Cate McLaurin (@madebycatem) reported from Camden Town, England

    Hello @virginmedia I get that things break sometimes. Do you think there’s a way you cld keep customers informed about how long it might take to fix it? I’ve tried your status page which tells me both that there’s no issue in our area and also that there is an issue . .

  • soup_gravy
    Bri Bri (@soup_gravy) reported

    I need a new broadband provider, so fed up of dealing with daily outages with @virginmedia Never known a company to be this terrible. Paying for Gig1 Volt yet I can barely even get 50mbps download speed. Engineer visit booked, wait in and no one turns up or even communicates

  • kestrel89B
    Liam (@kestrel89B) reported

    @BBCNews @virginmedia make it so difficult to actually speak with a human. They love a #bot chat. Always upping the #contract and never actually have a valid reason. #virginmedia

  • Gary_Freemantle
     Gary Freemantle (@Gary_Freemantle) reported

    @virginmedia in light of @Ofcom ruling, will you now be refunding the 6 months you continued to take from my bank account by DD after I moved house and cancelled out of contract? Especially as even after a 4 hour call you were still transferring me to ‘someone who could help’

  • winningearly
    Victor (@winningearly) reported

    Virgin Media O2 has acknowledged that its customer service fell below expected standards during the period investigated. The company says it has since made significant improvements to its cancellation processes, customer service operations and staff training.

    Good!!!! Can you fine @virginmedia for their crap broadband keep dropping out!!!

    Barry Stevens (@BarryStevens75) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia message sent midday today and no response not the best customer care

  • CharleyNorthwo2
    Charley Northwood (@CharleyNorthwo2) reported

    Problem with this is £28M is probably small pocket change to @virginmedia. They will laugh it off and carry on as they have been. What should have happened is a ban on signing up new customers for a period, say 6 months. That might have concentrated their minds a bit.

  • Prodgey
    Lyn Prodger (she/her) (@Prodgey) reported

    @virginmedia another estimated fix date for WD3 been and gone and still no resolution. It’s now been down for over 2 weeks. When will it be up and running. Don’t tell me to DM. I’ve tried countless times but get no response. Can I purchase a TP link and sim and get refunded
