  • Chezzyp68 Cheron Phillips🇧🇧 (@Chezzyp68) reported from Stansted Mountfitchet, England

    @virginmedia That I still need to have an engineer attend. I keep getting mixed messages! Had to book one for next Saturday. Potentially that could be 2 weeks without a full service

  • LongshanksE10 Richard Astley (@LongshanksE10) reported from Bishop's Stortford, England

    @virginmedia Hi there. We have no broadband or TV services. Your customer services say there is a fault in the area CM23 but locals are reporting their services work. Earliest an engineer can come is Wednesday which would be a nightmare for us. What is going on please?

  • Chezzyp68 Cheron Phillips🇧🇧 (@Chezzyp68) reported from Stansted Mountfitchet, England

    @virginmedia I have received a virtual engineer call this morning. Apparently there is an issue in the area. There is no notification on the app to say this though.

  • mrpattani Bijal Pattani (@mrpattani) reported from Sheering, England

    @virginmedia really really bad service, will there be a point when you can get something right. Beginning to wonder why I switched. #virginmedia #complaint #nothappy

  • SalesRemedy Terry Carney 👋 (@SalesRemedy) reported from Sheering, England

    @virginmedia @SkySportsBoxing How do you get a refund for this awful picture quality on the boxing #ajpulev #boxing

  • LongshanksE10 Richard Astley (@LongshanksE10) reported from Bishop's Stortford, England

    @virginmedia Hi there. Our broadband is down. Your phone line says CM23 area has problems being fixed. Website says there are no issues. Can you be the tie breaker please so we know whether it’s our hardware (again) or a broader issue?

  • LongshanksE10 Richard Astley (@LongshanksE10) reported from Bishop's Stortford, England

    @virginmedia Think the menu options are slightly different on the 360 software but I found network diagnostics and signal quality is “Good” and connection speed is “high”. Does that help?

  • leipperm m (@leipperm) reported from Braintree, England

    @virginmedia I just spoke to your customer service team a d was transferred to 2 different opperators before they just hang up on me with out resolving the issue .

  • SalesRemedy Terry Carney 👋 (@SalesRemedy) reported from Sheering, England

    @virginmedia Ongoing issues; On ZOOM lag issue. On Netflix during viewing stops, whirls and often crashes. Day to day work, slow load on web browsers, crashes daily even with Ethernet run to office in house. Upgraded recently now £114 a month and still awful WiFi. How do I cancel my contract?

  • RohanAtaa Rohan Ataa (@RohanAtaa) reported from Great Notley, England

    @virginmedia @deantorris Why you guys don't have call back service?

  • leipperm m (@leipperm) reported from Braintree, England

    It's annoying that @virginmedia customer service refused to acknowledge this other persons details had some how been linked to my email with my bank account on their account.

  • clowee Chloe Hipwood (@clowee) reported from Haverhill, England

    Fancy doing anything about shockingly slow broadband speeds in some rural Tier 4 areas? Video chat for elderly residents in these areas during Christmas should be a given not a luck. @bt_uk @virginmedia @SkyUK . #loneliness #tier4 #christmascancelled

  • LongshanksE10 Richard Astley (@LongshanksE10) reported from Bishop's Stortford, England

    @virginmedia Hi there. Whenever we go to the iPlayer app it crashes the whole Virgin system which has to be turned off and on again. Been like that for 24 hours. Can you help please?

  • pgull1975 Paul Gull (@pgull1975) reported from Saffron Walden, England

    @virginmedia I’ve spoken to someone who had previously chased this for me and he is still waiting on confirmation of change to residential property. He did say that once confirmed there could be another two weeks before installation. Will I be compensated for lack of service?

  • ADPearcey Andi(Pearcey)Pearce (@ADPearcey) reported from Bishop's Stortford, England

    Any chance after 4 hours u can fix the WiFi in bishops Stortford @virginmedia you morons

  • mart_compton MartinCompton (@mart_compton) reported from Bishop's Stortford, England

    If there’s a company whose ‘welcome to…’ message when you call them is more hollow and meaningless than @virginmedia I’d be surprised. The depth of their customer ‘service’ crapness must be witnessed to be believed. Expect that to witness it is to lose years off your life.

    @virginmedia useless broadband service and customer service are all robots with no clue

    @virginmedia You cancelled my installation engineer today due to lack of communication amongst your staff. Customer service reassured me an engineer would come out tomorrow. Just had an email saying they're coming on the 25th. I'll now be missing out on online university because

  • powellcc1 charlotte powell (@powellcc1) reported

    @virginmedia I still haven’t managed to speak to anyone!!!! I answered the questions, received a text to say I was in a queue then nothing. I’ve never experienced such bad customer service, so disappointing

  • tokerspud Andrew Psaras (@tokerspud) reported

    @virginmedia No reported issues but there never are

  • Joannnnnneee Joannne (@Joannnnnneee) reported

    @virginmedia Right so still got the same isssue now it’s claiming there isn’t a issue in the area ???? Sort this out this is a joke!

  • am2trappy #ENDSARS🇳🇬🇳🇬 (@am2trappy) reported

    @virginmedia It’s not bad today but I always have to restart the wifi like 50times a day!

  • BobBeveridge1 Bob Beveridge (@BobBeveridge1) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia Very poor service today - internet cut out at least three times, during separate on-line meetings -once at 9.50, once late morning, once mid afternoon. What was going wrong ? RG4 Area31

  • KarenDuffin3 Karen Duffin (@KarenDuffin3) reported

    @virginmedia your service is shocking and unacceptable. Please DM me to resolve my ongoing issues or I’ll have no other choice but to report to Offcom. All I want is what I am paying for. You’re currently paying m breach of contract!

  • NiffudSemaj James (@NiffudSemaj) reported

    @virginmedia I don't believe so. What can I do about this if I cannot contact customer services for support??

  • Didufart1 Dédé G 💚🌎 (@Didufart1) reported

    Hey @virginmedia I tell you what would be amazing? If you actually answered an email or a phone call. That way I could tell you to stick your service up your sphincter. Failing that, I suppose I could just halt the direct debit... Contact me.

  • YoungJambo Jamie Will (@YoungJambo) reported from Poole, England

    @virginmedia I was contacting you about the terrible service. I didn't have internet for a week and had to use up all of my data hotspotting as I work from home. Your disconnection team member "Helen" was rude and argumentative and kept shouting over the top of me. Go and listen to the call.
