    @virginmedia broadband is up and down again, today in WD17. Are you continuing to experience general service issues ?

  • janeylees
    Jane Lees (@janeylees) reported from Enfield Lock, England

    @virginmedia struggling to understand in these days of modern technology why you cant text customers when you know broadband is down in their area & at least give them a heads up #CustomerService #customerexperience

    @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

    @virginmedia You choose NOW to bring down my services 😡😡😡😡

  • jesseb4me
    Jesse Bryce (@jesseb4me) reported from Luton, England

    @muppetkeeper @virginmedia @TalkTalk Plus at almost double the speed. No idea why they need to make it so difficult to get a good deal. But for continuity of service, and not having another piece of obsolete hardware lying around, I’ve taken it.

  • MrsMummypennyUK
    Lynn Beattie (@MrsMummypennyUK) reported from Knebworth, England

    @virginmedia I am stuck in a broadband contract with u. The upload/download speed is awful. 25 hours to upload a 20 minute video to youtube. 2 mths ive had these issues. Your customer services and fault department cannot fix it. 45 mins on phone. 6 day wait for engineer. Angry.

  • bendog90
    Ben Shaw (@bendog90) reported from Shenley, England

    @virginmedia I’m still stuck. No one answering the phone - my internet is down and I can’t get any service .. really need one of your service team to call me please on 07850 647 490

  • Cleric20
    Matt Adcock (@Cleric20) reported from Hitchin, England

    @virginmedia I’ve been a customer for almost 27 yrs with you guys - was being offered an upgrade to broadband…

  • marionmurray13
    Maz 💙 (@marionmurray13) reported from Enfield Lock, England

    @virginmedia Was fixed to discuss how I put a complaint in for compensation but guess what ?? I received no call.

    @virginmedia broadband down again in my area pay so much money for this so-called superior service absolute shite can’t wait to leave

    @virginmedia hello, could you follow me so I can message regarding an issue with a hotel wifi? I was given a virgin media email address but no one has responded and it’s been over a month. Thanks.

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

    @virginmedia Not ‘sorry hit you’ll need to get into another queue for hours and hours because it’s another team and we can’t help you’ That is not how to treat customers. In any business. Someone needs to take ownership of a situation. Truly terrible customer service. #virginmedia

  • marionmurray13
    Maz 💙 (@marionmurray13) reported from Enfield Lock, England

    @virginmedia This is the standard service received from you if you have a fault!

  • LauraVCook1980
    Laura Cook (@LauraVCook1980) reported from Hatfield, England

    @virginmedia disappointed after 10 years of being a loyal customer that I can’t pause my monthly payments for 11 weeks while I’m not at home and no one using the broadband or TV!

  • essojohn
    Johnny Allen 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧⚒WHU (@essojohn) reported from Broxbourne District, England

    @virginmedia You have given me a number 0345 454 111 which doesn't exist come on this is getting ridiculous also tried 150 has no option 3 and takes me straight back to someone who wants to do a diagnostic check and I am also using a virgin phone just how bad does this get

  • PaulswainDJ
    Paul Swain (@PaulswainDJ) reported from Kings Langley, England

    @virginmedia This is boring. I’ll reach out to third parties to resolve my account issue.

  • StephenCavinder
    Steve Cavinder (@StephenCavinder) reported from Bricket Wood, England

    @virginmedia do you think it’s acceptable for a customer to be waiting for more than 20 minutes (and still waiting) for one of your agents to answer the phone? #justasking

  • Gosbo68
    Grant Osborn (@Gosbo68) reported from Northaw and Cuffley, England

    @Bazza_68 @virginmedia Up. Then down again. That’s the 4th time today.

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

    @virginmedia Don’t know absolutely fed up with the crap service I live in Luton so you tell me but nothing works never does and pay nearly £50 pound a month for crap broadband can’t wait to leave

    @aidan_codtello @virginmedia Good luck! When the service works at @virginmedia it's great-but when there's a problem you're pretty much on your own with a fanciful bunch of stories until you can finally get an engineer to pitch up. I always think that how they handle a problem is the measure of a company...

  • mrchrisfloyd
    chris floyd (@mrchrisfloyd) reported

    @Ofcom @virginmedia love this!!! They’ve been at this for years!! Hanging up on customers! I hope it affects their staff now. Because ultimately it’s the company that gets fined for this, not the rude, stuck up staff they’ve got working for the company

  • aquanauts2019
    Aquanaut 2025 (@aquanauts2019) reported

    @virginmedia You are going down hill rapidly. Top management need replacing with someone who can sort your company out. I have put off spending an hour plus on the phone to sort out TV pixelation. Also fed up with being fobbed off with secondhand kit. I am out ASAP

  • irons1de1
    irons1de (@irons1de1) reported

    @virginmedia @botbusta999 Haven’t you just received a fine because of this exact thing forcing people to stay with you when you are providing substandard service for ridiculous prices

  • pestowitch
    jen 🎃 (@pestowitch) reported

    Now where is my reimbursement for the time they wouldn’t let me cancel mine (without paying out the rest of the contract) bc I was moving somewhere that already HAD a virgin media contract…

  • SarahLudford
    Sarah Ludford 🇬🇧 🇮🇪🇪🇺 🇺🇦 (@SarahLudford) reported

    @Ofcom “@virginmedia made it harder for customers to cancel their contracts and then did not fully cooperate with our investigation. ‘As a result, we are levelling our largest ever fine under our consumer protection rules for direct harm to consumers’.”

  • JeegsJ
    Jeegar Jagani (@JeegsJ) reported

    @virginmedia Five weeks with no broadband or TV and still no proper fix. The 4 week long area outage is supposedly resolved but I’ve still got issues!!Can you please tell me what is going on?

  • whild13
    Chris Whild (@whild13) reported

    @virginmedia still no Netflix link/password etc. Really really poor service

  • Vocalandproudx
    Vocal and Proud (@Vocalandproudx) reported

    The £28 million fine by @Ofcom was long overdue. Hopefully, it sends a clear message to @virginmedia and the rest of the industry that making it difficult for customers to cancel simply isn’t acceptable.

    Harry Kryshna (@harry_kryshna) reported

    @BBCBreakfast @virginmedia customer service is still atrocious.
