    @virginmedia been trying to speak to someone about my contract been fobbed off ' our system is down' or ' I will call back' still waiting!!!

  • MrsMummypennyUK

    @virginmedia No outages. Just issues with my line. There has been for 2 months.

  • jasondflynn
    Jason Flynn 💙 (@jasondflynn) reported from Letchworth Garden City, England

    @virginmedia So @virginmedia my contract has finally been resolved. 3 hours of phone calls in 24-hrs (including phone being cut off 3 times) 6 hours of WhatsApp Failure to honour contract offers. Shambles of a company. Worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. #virginmedia #fail

  • jasondflynn
    Jason Flynn 💙 (@jasondflynn) reported from Letchworth Garden City, England

    @virginmedia And to re-emphasise what I’ve said countless times before; you’re wasting peoples time, because you don’t tell them that it is your router that causes most of the problems. Can’t believe @Ofcom allow this.

  • DarylSThompson
    DarylSThompson (@DarylSThompson) reported from Harpenden, England

    @virginmedia @kamikaz3Topnam Wow, that may be one of the worst responses I've seen...

  • jasondflynn
    Jason Flynn 💙 (@jasondflynn) reported from Letchworth Garden City, England

    @virginmedia Totally shocking service from your team today. Nearly 2 hours of calls. Cut off; not being put through to disconnections and effectively being called a liar. Interested @virginmedia ? @MartinSLewis one for you

  • PrimaryxTeacher
    Angela 💫 (@PrimaryxTeacher) reported from Dunstable, England

    @virginmedia my WiFi is down and on service checker it’s says no fault, I try to do the test but the website crashes after clicking “test” button.

  • PC_Lawyer
    Chris Belcher (@PC_Lawyer) reported from Letchworth Garden City, England

    @virginmedia broadband down again in SG6 ... makes home working a pretty frustrating experience!

  • lutonmagoo
    Big E (@lutonmagoo) reported from Caddington, England

    @virginmedia Yes conveniently he said we cannot run a test on the service at the moment because there is no service and it’s crap and doesn’t work

  • garyjackets
    gary jackets (@garyjackets) reported from Biggleswade, England

    Well done @virginmedia 2 yes 2 hours on hold to cancel my account and YOU put the phone down on me !

  • StopItRawr
    Lee Hammond (@StopItRawr) reported from Biggleswade, England

    @virginmedia Intermittent? It's absolutely, 100% buggered for those affected. Please could you have some transparency and tell your customers what has broken and an ETA to fix?

  • randellauk82
    Ashley (@randellauk82) reported from Luton, England

    @virginmedia so I’ve had three weeks of hub issues 3 engineers out I tell you how to fix the issue but ignored 3rd manager to promise call backs and got nothing had 3 days wasted of my time and down service. Getting very 😡 when big companys disrespect their long term customers

  • ladykittymckat
    LadyKitty McKatfacelady (@ladykittymckat) reported from Datchworth, England

    @virginmedia @VirginMediaCC Yes, since the day we signed with Virgin we’ve had our broadband drop out intermittently, I’ve been years trying to rectify it. When it works it’s brilliant, but we seem to go two weeks of good service and a month of intermittent! Call centre said they’ve been aware since June!

  • jasondflynn
    Jason Flynn 💙 (@jasondflynn) reported from Letchworth Garden City, England

    @virginmedia It’s coming up to 3 hours wait on WhatsApp on TOP of 3 hours of phone calls. Do your teams compete for the worst service levels @virginmedia ?

  • StopItRawr
    Lee Hammond (@StopItRawr) reported from Biggleswade, England

    @BrianHandscomb @virginmedia You know when an ISP is broken when this happens. Not a great start to my working day heh.

  • jasondflynn
    Jason Flynn 💙 (@jasondflynn) reported from Letchworth Garden City, England

    @virginmedia Sorry but the old ‘we don’t have email addresses’ doesn’t work. Everyone does. It’s just company policy not to hand them out. The key issue is that with this level of service, someone should say ‘leave it with us, we’ll look into it and someone will get back to you’ 1/2

  • loobylou470
    Lisa 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🐶⚽️🍺 (@loobylou470) reported from Stevenage District, England

    @virginmedia The box is knackered, it's flashing lights, going between the welcome screen a strange black screen with white box and arrow (?) and then off again. I've contacted support and an engineer is coming out on Thursday

  • maggietodd10
    maggie.todd@live.co. (@maggietodd10) reported from Letchworth Garden City, England

    @virginmedia This problem was reported 11th November 2021. You promised to correct the problem by 18th November.

    @virginmedia I’ve been having problems with my internet from last 1 week! Gone from bad to worse from yesterday!!! what’s wrong?

  • JB_CFFire
    John B 💙🤍🔥💥🚴‍♂️⛷⭐️🇪🇺💫☄️ (@JB_CFFire) reported from Hertfordshire, England

    @Paulos_the_fog @virginmedia Because of home working I upgraded to 350mbps package and was getting that until a few months ago measured using a variety of apps - now it’s down to 80 consistently.
