  • edward_baran Edward Baran (@edward_baran) reported from Kensington, England

    @RuthPetrie1 @virginmedia Same for me. They’re a disgrace . When you phone their offshore call centre , rude operatives try to tell you it’s a loose cable on your box. Tv and broadband outages daily for me for last few weeks in sw5 @ofcom

  • edward_baran Edward Baran (@edward_baran) reported from Kensington, England

    If you’re considering getting broadband / tv in SW5 central London don’t bother with @virginmedia. The service drops out almost daily for many hours and the customer service is non existent @ofcom

  • edward_baran Edward Baran (@edward_baran) reported from Kensington, England

    @LynseyAnneWhite @virginmedia Just cancel and take your business elsewhere . I just waited on the line for over an hour to talk to someone offshore who could not explain the constant faults

  • g_davep davep (@g_davep) reported from Croydon, England

    @charley_ellx Best advise change provider virgin media has outsourced its call centre and those idiots in India don’t know how to solve the problem

  • edward_baran Edward Baran (@edward_baran) reported from Kensington, England

    @charlieboy055 @virginmedia Yup they’re a disgrace . The worst ‘customer service ‘ I ever experienced .broadband and tv keeps failing in sw5 and they don’t care! @ofcom

    @WaveNathan @virginmedia Same for me tonight . No tv or broadband in sw5. It’s the third or fourth outage in as many days

  • edward_baran Edward Baran (@edward_baran) reported from Kensington, England

    @RuthPetrie1 @virginmedia @Ofcom Thanks I don’t hold out much hope . Someone had informed me the issues are to do with them not upgrading the cabinets you see on the pavements outside. The older cabinets cannot Cope with high usage !!! @ofcom

  • edward_baran Edward Baran (@edward_baran) reported from Kensington, England

    @LynseyAnneWhite @virginmedia @Ofcom When they cannot even run a consistent broadband and tv service in central London you know they’re an unreliable organisation . Plus you cannot get through to customer service . On hold for hours and when you do get through you get someone rude who cannot communicate

  • edward_baran Edward Baran (@edward_baran) reported from Kensington, England

    @Chagrilled @virginmedia Never going to happen . You should go elsewhere like I am

  • edward_baran Edward Baran (@edward_baran) reported from Kensington, England

    @c1boon @emma_charlie_tc @ktstripe @AnneCross1 @virginmedia When I called them they blamed my issues on rats !!! Still without reliable tv and broadband 3 weeks later @ofcom

  • edward_baran Edward Baran (@edward_baran) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia Just now. The service is appalling. They have no up-to-date info on faults, they can’t explain why faults often happen in SW5 9, and point blank refused to put me through to someone who could explain the faults, and also refused my request for a call back from a Uk based manager

  • g_davep davep (@g_davep) reported from Croydon, England

    Is anybody experiencing poor service from virgin media

  • edward_baran Edward Baran (@edward_baran) reported from Kensington, England

    @superstaryas7 @virginmedia Exactly the same issue for me. Constant tv and broadband outages for weeks and zero ‘customer service’ from @virginmedia cowboys

  • edward_baran Edward Baran (@edward_baran) reported from Kensington, England

    @HaugheyJulie @jpbroughton @virginmedia Indeed: you might as well not bother calling . The worst ‘customer service ‘ I’ve ever experienced @ofcom

  • edward_baran Edward Baran (@edward_baran) reported from Kensington, England

    @robackroyd @virginmedia Trust me the call centre will never give you correct info . I say this as someone whose broadband and tv has cut out almost daily in last few weeks @ofcom

  • edward_baran Edward Baran (@edward_baran) reported from Kensington, England

    @ariangarden @shep23 @virginmedia Mine constantly goes down in sw5 @ofcom

  • edward_baran Edward Baran (@edward_baran) reported from Kensington, England

    @OoverMatic @virginmedia Same problem here in sw5. It never works , no explanation from the appalling rude customer service staff. Time to leave ! @ofcom

  • nikrorke Dr. Nik Rorke 🚴🏻‍♀️🧘🏻🧪🌱 (@nikrorke) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve had no broadband and no 4G (also virgin). 4G has been awful since they changed providers.

  • Thundamew Birdsong (@Thundamew) reported

    @virginmedia Any update? Still having issues connecting

  • HelenKennedy14 Helen Kennedy (@HelenKennedy14) reported

    @virginmedia Would love to even be able to report an issue but your website is not even working. Been like this all day since 6am. Not good enough.

  • fxchalmers David Chalmers (@fxchalmers) reported

    @virginmedia So glad I ditched you for @GiganetUK full fibre! I think my service has gone down ONCE in 18 months and that was only for an hour during the first few weeks after switch on.

  • PaulcwGB Paul Da Pork Hunt & Mr Moo🇪🇺 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@PaulcwGB) reported

    @virginmedia Even more pathetic is the number I rang this morning, now says I have dialled a wrong number, can your customer service be anymore useless!

  • claffgirl kerry mcclafferty (@claffgirl) reported

    @virginmedia nothing but problems since joining you guys

  • chrisekins01 Chris Ekins (@chrisekins01) reported

    @virginmedia I can’t believe we have received a later saying our bill will increase by £21 a month and bragging how the service will improve. I think you should scrap the extra £21 a month as people won’t pay it with things like this happening.

  • anildhiman88 Anil Dhiman (@anildhiman88) reported

    @virginmedia You made me exit in mid of presentation today. You are forcing me to take decision on my contract. Bad bad bad experience.
