  • sheradondublin Sheradon Dublin (@sheradondublin) reported from Margate, England

    Morning @virginmedia, I’m starting to become a little fed up with your current business model. You take my money, but supply a less than reliable WiFi service. Will it take a cancelled direct debit to get your attention? Please fix. 😡

  • als_adventures Al's Adventures (@als_adventures) reported from Chestfield, England

    @virginmedia can you please give me a way to contact you. You are charging my elderly Uncle for a mobile he’s never approved. For years. I can’t get through the line cuts me off. This is not acceptable

  • sheradondublin Sheradon Dublin (@sheradondublin) reported from Margate, England

    @virginmedia The new box arrived, and the WiFi sorted itself out for now at least. The boosters are still generating the old network also. I’m planning on leaving everything as it is till it goes wrong again, then I’ll call.

  • Jackd_cpfc Margate Jack (@Jackd_cpfc) reported from Margate, England

    @money4nuffin @virginmedia This is the 1st issue I’ve had with them in fairness and not happy with the way they are handling it. Other than screen shots of other peoples phones I’ve had no updates

  • andeenic Andy Nicoll (@andeenic) reported from Margate, England

    @virginmedia Hi I have now chased up 4 times wasting countless pointless hours and it seems that I need to contact CISAS to get a response unless you can help. Ref number COM10411 f

  • CaryAWright Cary Wright (@CaryAWright) reported from Margate, England

    @Dan13lBurk3 @virginmedia My neighbour has spoken to Customer Service too, who have informed him that it will not be fixed until the 28th!!!

  • sheradondublin Sheradon Dublin (@sheradondublin) reported from Margate, England

    Hello @virginmedia, is there a way I can talk to someone about my WiFi problem this morning.

  • als_adventures Al's Adventures (@als_adventures) reported from Chestfield, England

    @virginmedia He has a letter as a review. So we need to speak to someone to cancel it. He’s being charged each month according to this letter. Goodness knows how long for.

  • CaryAWright Cary Wright (@CaryAWright) reported from Margate, England

    @virginmedia @Dan13lBurk3 I spoke to tour customer service team who “guaranteed this fault would rectified by 21:25”. I explained the gravity as I needed to finish work for Xmas. They lied!!

  • bobvoyage Bob Voyage (@bobvoyage) reported from Margate, England

    @virginmedia if you think I am going to be talking to my family over Christmas while my WiFi is down, you can think again. Get the engineer out here or I'm sending you shite in the post daily.

  • drinkdevil40 Caggy  (@drinkdevil40) reported from Herne Bay, England

    @capiegirl @Janeopot @henriettak @mansellmum @1sthappysodme @Adrienne65 @owlbird @SkyIreland @virginmedia Boring weekend but then Francesca had ambulance sent to her yesterday as reacted to eggs, severe allergy. I was a wreck, but she’s ok now. Poor Sophie had to deal with this alone 😰

  • rde42 Bob Eager Eur Ing #FBPE 🇪🇺 🇪🇺 🖤 #RejoinEU (@rde42) reported from Herne Bay, England

    @AgiBergman @JolyonMaugham @virginmedia They are both awful at customer service.

  • nghudson Nigel Hudson (@nghudson) reported from Preston, England

    @Jess_Guth @virginmedia @virginmedia are the pits!!! Dreadful customer service and they’ve tried to charge us for a phone service we terminated 3 months ago!!! 👎🏻🤬

  • CaryAWright Cary Wright (@CaryAWright) reported from Margate, England

    @virginmedia not had internet, for 24 hours. I spoke to customer services at 18:00 who “guaranteed it would be fixed by 21:25” I checked this 3 times as, at that point, I could arrange alternatives to finish work for Xmas. Now I can’t and still have no internet. Appalling!

  • andeenic Andy Nicoll (@andeenic) reported from Margate, England

    Three formal complaints to @virginmedia and three promises of a returned call within 24 hours. 3 fails out of 3. At least your appalling service is consistent

  • jimmygreen83 James Green (@jimmygreen83) reported from Margate, England

    @virginmedia... broadband has been down all day and expected back at 5:25pm, still not working. Now, recheck the app and not expected back until 8am tomorrow! Seriously?! Why? What has happened? How can it be down for that long? Ridiculous, especially when people work from home.

  • jimmygreen83 James Green (@jimmygreen83) reported from Margate, England

    Not sure if it was just me but, my @primevideouk just went a shit for a few mins. Kept kicking me out the game via my smart tv app so switched to app via @virginmedia box and it was stuttering slightly, like a dodgy stream. Rather annoying. #BURMCI #AmazonPrime #Amazon

  • CaryAWright Cary Wright (@CaryAWright) reported from Margate, England

    @virginmedia @Dan13lBurk3 I spoke to your customer service team who “guaranteed this fault would rectified by 21:25”. I explained the gravity as I needed to finish work for Xmas. They lied!! I’ve now got to drive to London and work through the night! Appalling!

Virgin Media Issues Reports

  • rswalker82 Rob Walker (@rswalker82) reported

    Hi @bt_uk & @SkyUK from a customer service perspective how would you keep a customer who has had no internet connection for 14 days updated as to when the service they pay for will be back up and running? Just that @virginmedia don’t appear to do anything, just curious.

  • jmescol91 James (@jmescol91) reported

    @virginmedia yo, got no broadband in ME15. Is it down?

  • DxbBlog DxbBlog (@DxbBlog) reported

    Hey #UK, time to say goodbye to @virginmedia and their horrible internet service and even worse customer support. Stuck without a proper connection for days and can't even work until Jan 2nd. #VirginMediaFail #WorstISPever . Tweeting every hour till problem fixed February 01…

  • andrewhepburn Andrew Hepburn (@andrewhepburn) reported

    @virginmedia How many hours a day does @VirginMedia think is reasonable for me to have to spend on the phone to them? A 38% bill increase for this utterly appalling lack of basic customer service. Expect to see a lot of customers give up in disgust and go elsewhere 😠

  • eggynewydd Dan 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇪🇺🚴‍♂️ (@eggynewydd) reported

    Anyone else having problems with @virginmedia internet in Cardiff?

  • rswalker82 Rob Walker (@rswalker82) reported

    @virginmedia No notice it wasn’t going to be working no reasoning as to why it isn’t working and two lies as to when it would be working. Spent hours trying to get an update just to be fobbed off time and time again. Shocking customer service.

  • ShockLad Craig Price (@ShockLad) reported

    @virginmedia hello, for past few weeks we have had trouble with WiFi disconnecting constantly, today I noticed different names in the network list and upon logging into the hub noticed the WiFi names were changed to default names (example: VM-8038-5G). I've reset.. 1/2

  • halalcosco halal cosmetics co (@halalcosco) reported

    @virginmedia Yep, your app says service problem in the area.

  • Neil_Glover1 Neil Glover (@Neil_Glover1) reported

    @virginmedia After 3 months, countless hours and many frustrated tears for my wife, not to mention the anxiety and anger. We may finally have it sorted. There is no amount of credit or explanation Virgin can give that would ever compensate for the service we have received.

  • Tigers4Ever2010 Tigers4Ever (@Tigers4Ever2010) reported

    @virginmedia Last week, you booked an engineer call out & then cancelled it the day before because the problem miraculously fixed itself despite it being nothing to do with your service. It's funny every time we see a random virgin media van anywhere nearby, within hours there is a change!
