    @virginmedia Thanks for responding. My wife and I need several different proofs of address for a visa application so we really need it written down. Is there no way this can be produced?

    lisa sibley (@citigirly) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Ok so says issue now fixed could tell they were working on it as lost tv and then internet came back for 5 mins, but now no internet again? So issue not fixed can you contact the engineer working on it to say not fixed ASAP please

  • fackjossey
    Foss (@fackjossey) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia our cable doesn’t fit as it should (we were told an easy installation and just the box is required), and my partner is getting no response from anyone to help...? Just moved into a new flat with no wifi now so not ideal

  • rusblake
    Russ (@rusblake) reported from Hillingdon, England

    @virginmedia No change to devices being used, it starts to slow down from 500 to 30 between 9-11pm then nothing at all for around 30mins then back up.

    Almost 1&1/2 hours holding onto the phone trying to get my internet sorted only to be cut off by them # virginmedia are robbing me not providing the service & I can’t get hold of them

    Almost 1&1/2 hours holding onto the phone trying to get my internet sorted only to be cut off by them #virginmedia are robbing me not providing the service & I can’t get hold of them, I’m sick of being ripped off

  • AsadMoghal
    Asad Moghal (@AsadMoghal) reported from Kensington, England

    Why does @virginmedia have the worst customer service - the chatbot won’t work, the telephone service disconnects straight away - why bother with the service?

  • Mike_E_Neale
    Mike Neale (@Mike_E_Neale) reported from Hillingdon, England

    @virginmedia I have managed to add my wife's name to our electricity & water bills without a problem & know it is possible with other companies. It must be possible - it is perhaps just the choice/policy of Virgin to not allow this. Is there an email/tel I can contact to take this further?

  • alewis2106
    Alex Lewis (@alewis2106) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Thank you for your reply. We had a technician out over 5 weeks ago to check the landline. He told us the cable in the road was damaged and it would take 10 days to fix. That was nearly 6 weeks ago and we have heard nothing since and can’t get through to your customer services.

  • matthewcarter7
    Matthew Carter (@matthewcarter7) reported from London, England

    @Thecarmagdriver @virginmedia 1) ISP hardware is total shite (Virgin in Particular) don’t use it. It is worth what you paid for it £0. 2) Draytek router and Ruckus wifi (connected via Cat6) is what you need to distribute throughout house (a single WiFi point is never going to work)! 3) it will cost money!

  • alewis2106
    Alex Lewis (@alewis2106) reported from London, England

    Does anyone know of a service worse than @virginmedia? Our home phone went down 5 weeks ago and we were promised an engineer in 10 days, yet still no one has come. I have tried ringing the customer help number a number of times but after about 1 hour 15 mins it rings off. Help!

  • pussinpjs1

    @virginmedia Thanks couldn't help and I have stopped waiting. All I wanted to was change my password as I had forgotten it 🙄😕😔

  • StephenBLowe
    Stephen Brian Lowe (@StephenBLowe) reported from Kingston upon Thames, England

    @virginmedia internet has gone incredibly slow over the past 24hrs around the Kingston area. Any reason why?

  • rusblake
    Russ (@rusblake) reported from Hillingdon, England

    @virginmedia Today it’s back to normally, but tonight it will most likely go down again, since this has been the trend since Xmas eve

  • sehsmiffy
    sarah smith (@sehsmiffy) reported from Richmond, England

    Dont waste your money , they even gave us a booster so the wifi reaches upstairs ... does it bollocks !!! Biggest pile of **** is virgin media !!! #VirginMediaSale

  • brianging
    Brian Ging (@brianging) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia I've called 4-5 times. The only time I get though is when I select the option to upgrade my services 🤔 Strangely not at home to people wanting to cancel.

  • kapowaz
    Ben Darlow (@kapowaz) reported from Richmond, England

    I wonder which would be quicker, for Virgin Media to fix the area fault around where I live, or for me to just move house and get a new ISP

  • alewis2106
    Alex Lewis (@alewis2106) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Engineer booked for Tuesday. I spoke to Ezra on your team who was brilliant in fairness. Very apologetic about the level of service and now looks like we need planning permission to dig up the road to fix the cable.🥴 Thanks for your responses and happy new year!

  • AllyThornton
    Alison Carter (@AllyThornton) reported from Kingston upon Thames, England

    @virginmedia any idea on what is happening in the Kingston Upon Thames area or how long it’ll take to resolve? Impossible to WFH right now. Previous issues with your service makes me worried!

  • citigirly
    lisa sibley (@citigirly) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia hi have had no internet since this afternoon, a fault ref did come up but just received text to say fixed but still no internet ref Fault Ref: F008694497 can you help? I have tried re booting

    @virginmedia more internet outages. No communication to say you are doing work in our area which always seems to be the case. Your customer service gets worse and worse. I'll be dropping my @O2 contract at the first opportunity now you have merged.

  • Kidley_4
    Adaaaaaam (@Kidley_4) reported

    2/3 both @skytv and @virginmedia so am now over £600 out of pocket. Spoke to virgin customer services who have now told me there is nothing they can do as it was down to me to cancel sky. They also will not give me the contact at details of the rep so I can speak to him about it!

  • JakeGill89
    Jake Gill (@JakeGill89) reported

    @virginmedia home wifi still not working and MASSIVELY affecting my job. Can someone assist and actually get it fixed? Was a fault in the area yesterday, fixed in the late afternoon then down again since 7pm in N4 - HELP

  • lizcolemanx
    Liz Coleman (@lizcolemanx) reported

    @virginmedia called 3 times to move home - 3 times disconnected after 20 wait please help?

  • BigDaddyDavee
    Pool's Closed (@BigDaddyDavee) reported

    @bt_uk It may be worth reflecting on, as an organisation, why I may be the only person to report this significant risk/potential operational issue with BT, Lesley. The initial response from @virginmedia was way better and more helpful.

  • carolineking76
    Caroline King (@carolineking76) reported

    @virginmedia how much longer will I have to be like this? It went off on Tuesday it’s now Friday? I can’t get an engineer till Monday, can they not work longer to get this done, I have to work longer to fix things for my customers? And you cancelled yesterday engineer? With No notice 🤬

  • Kidley_4
    Adaaaaaam (@Kidley_4) reported

    3/3 So as it stands, @virginmedia reps are allowed to say what they want to get the sale then not be held accountable when they have actually miss sold you a service. Fair to say anyone thinking of moving from @skytv to @virginmedia DONT!! Nothing but trouble ffe start to finish!

  • EmmsWilson
    Emma Wilson (@EmmsWilson) reported

    Never hated @virginmedia so much!! Will never be back 🤬 how long does it take to give someone a pac code?! Total joke

  • doych1
    Andrew Doyle (@doych1) reported

    It gets better. Now they will send a technician out to fix it…Tuesday! So that will be 6 days customer needs to wait. Terrible customer service. Funny all these issues are happening weeks after renewing my contract with @virginmedia

  • imeche_engineer
    Shezy (@imeche_engineer) reported

    @virginmedia Appointment is still on. Not cancelling it either. I want my service to be checked as this has given me too much down time. It has been down or intermitent late last night. So let engineer come and look at it.
