    I’ve been on my knees far too much tonight. @virginmedia your broadband is awful these days. And resetting either fails or lasts 10 mins. From superhero to supergran. Not worth your monthly bill. #virginmediadown #virginmedia

    @virginmedia I haven’t activated a service. I tried to look at whether I’m eligible and that’s the screen I get

    Two contrasting phone calls to @virginmedia CS this morning. Really unhelpful 1st guy / rude. Rang directly back and the differner guy was absolutely amazing. Mathew was his name and he needs a praise. 1st guy really needs a lesson in customer service. Thank you Mathew.

    Hey @virginmedia why does it take sooooo long to call you guys? Spent 45 mins on hold waiting to be transferred to department who can help me with my phone line problem. I gave up. Help!

  • elise_john85
    Elise 💉💉💉💉 (@elise_john85) reported from Maidstone, England

    @virginmedia How do I find out what the service address is that you are using as you seem you be saying that the billing address means nothing

  • onearmedjohn
    Onearmedjohn (@onearmedjohn) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia This is so tiresome I have complained so many times about slow broadband speed, unreliable WiFi, terrible TV services & only after threatening to leave did you send an engineer in July. This made it a little better, but recently it’s been unreliable of an evening.

  • onearmedjohn
    Onearmedjohn (@onearmedjohn) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia I’ve had two lengthy phone calls with your ‘technical support’ people; it briefly got quicker then stopped working completely. On their instructions I’ve changed some settings on my router which apparently may take 48 hours to fully take effect…

  • AViTSCJ
    Scott Jackson (@AViTSCJ) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia why is it when you request cancellation of service via phone and getting cut off mid call , then sending and email and also trying to chase via web chat which I also sent my request for cancellation and then move out two months later . They keep the account open 🤬

  • SUEG46
    Sue Groves MBE (@SUEG46) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia we seem to have WiFi still but our sky box has lost connection.. is this related to the issues you have?

  • elise_john85
    Elise 💉💉💉💉 (@elise_john85) reported from Maidstone, England

    @virginmedia Can you tell me how to correct the address on my own! Apparently it’s been incorrect for the 4 years we’ve had your service!

  • onearmedjohn
    Onearmedjohn (@onearmedjohn) reported from Gillingham, England

    @BritishGas I’m truly astonished. I didn’t think there could be anyone worse than @virginmedia for customer service but you’ve managed it. I’m in awe.

  • elise_john85
    Elise 💉💉💉💉 (@elise_john85) reported from Maidstone, England

    @virginmedia O2 have the correct information. The bills from Virgin have the wrong flat number on them. How do I know what you have for the service address? This isn’t clear on the website

  • kec1964
    Kate Crisp (@kec1964) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia hi I have 2 WiFi boosters that I’ve never used and would like to return them but can’t face hanging on for hours to speak to someone on your helpline. Is there an address you can give me?

  • DanskiBoyWonder
    ∂αиѕкι (@DanskiBoyWonder) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia They replaced the box and it’s all working now,I do have one other query I have the Virgin go app but I don’t have any content available on it,is this something you can fix for me? There appears to be an issue with my account I have the ultimate ooomph package if that matters.

    @JooMarsden @virginmedia It appears it’s gotta be all our road .. surely others have reported an issue too hence it needs to be addressed rapidly lots of stressed and angry customers I’d imagine #notimpressed

    Nigel Deans (@NigelDeans) reported

    @virginmedia refer a friend £50 each cashback appears to be a SCAM. It's been three months now and I'm being passed from person to person, company to company. It's unacceptable and no legitimate company would surely put a customer through this??

  • LutherB40510976
    Luther Blissett (@LutherB40510976) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia what is the number for your complaints department? It seems impossible to actually terminate my contract with you. Am I in the Hotel California?

  • RaffiGuj
    Raffi (@RaffiGuj) reported

    @virginmedia any chance you can give me an update on the issue? site says would be fixed by 4pm its well over now. Been down over 5 hours.

  • ethansgrumps
    Tony Collier BEM (@ethansgrumps) reported

    @virginmedia Says there are no issues

  • CyberRebel4
    @CyberRebel (@CyberRebel4) reported

    @virginmedia Saying possibly by 7pm. Been down since lunchtime so not at all happy. And only two weeks since the last outage. Basically paying for no service.

  • StephanHough
    Stephan Hough (@StephanHough) reported

    @virginmedia They could not offer me a competitive price compared to other providers. There is just no incentive to stay with Virgin as a loyal customer and I will just have to switch somewhere cheaper.

  • theoneyouknew

    @virginmedia trying to PHONE you because my broadband is not working properly, what number can I use as the main number is full of robots.

  • KateHol90819828
    Kate Holmes (@KateHol90819828) reported

    @virginmedia He was installing broadband, he knocked as we have it but he couldn’t see how it was patched down (i’ve no idea!), he’s not been outside their house whilst my WIFI has been off, he wasn’t at the green box either.
