    Dave (@davecres) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @virginmedia No days no known problem but clearly with so many people waking up this morning and posting on twitter issues there must be an issue somewhere. Eg one of your switches down or dhcp server not issuing an IP to the hub so it can’t continue

    Emma Neachell (@thephdrunner) reported from Birmingham, England

    When you’re trying to work from home and your @virginmedia broadband just ‘dies’ without any warning. Please don’t let this be the start of months of issues again 🙁

  • cra1gs
    Craig (@cra1gs) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Yes it does. Apparently there is a known issue in the area and it won’t be fixed until 12 tonight. This is not good enough

  • cra1gs
    Craig (@cra1gs) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia having problems again with the internet. Apparently your app says it’s fine. It’s not. Sort it out.

    @virginmedia The problem has sorted it self out for some reason as I got a message telling me that picture settings were updated when I had turned the box off for a whole day and turned it on again this morning

  • Haribowkid
    Lee Pratchett (@Haribowkid) reported

    @DgMarshx @virginmedia @ShivFPS still got packet loss and buffering has become quite bad to be fair and I’ll be contacting them again shortly to find out what’s going on this time this isn’t good enough, they promise the fastest internet what a load of BS it doesn’t work so if it’s not fixed im leaving

  • adrianffletcher
    Adrian Fletcher (@adrianffletcher) reported

    @vmbusiness I had heard rumours of the legendary customer service from virgin media but now I am going through the experience myself I am still astounded at how an organisation can get to be so legendarily bad at customer service.

  • DgMarshx
    Danny Marshall (@DgMarshx) reported

    @Haribowkid @virginmedia @ShivFPS Thanks a lot for your reply. I recently moved into new house so 4 months into 18 month contract so it will cost a fortune to leave. The packet loss has been horrific right from the start and seems to be getting worse. BT was so much better I never got packet loss. So annoying

  • Chelle__W
    Michelle Walker (@Chelle__W) reported

    @virginmedia So what about the last few weeks then? What explains that? We’ve followed all the instructions we’ve been told to do, we’ve been told problems in the area are fixed and our broadband is still not working? So why do we have to wait another 48hrs to contact again? It’s ridiculous

  • theMrsH89
    Lou💫 (@theMrsH89) reported

    @virginmedia And you have to understand she and I have contacted separately on this issue and have been lied to by you call handlers telling us it’s sorted when it’s not. So you can see why she is so let down. As a key worker she does not have the time to keep ringing about the issue 1/2

  • DreamsSewTrue
    Dreams Sew True (@DreamsSewTrue) reported

    @virginmedia It’s not just this morning though is it! Your service is terrible! I’ve lost count of the amount of times we’ve lost service/connection. You’re meant to be the fast broadband but I’m yet to see that!

  • Adi1905CFC
    Adi /// suede savers/// (@Adi1905CFC) reported

    @Hammond0fficial @virginmedia I totally agree I spent 3 days on phone and twitter with them and they never resolved anything I sorted it myself in end there advice was to go on virginmedia forum and discuss issues with other customers ????

  • catch84x
    Catch84 (@catch84x) reported

    It's official. @virginmedia are the worst company from a customer service point of view I've ever dealt with. #abandondedmidchat

  • theMrsH89
    Lou💫 (@theMrsH89) reported

    @virginmedia @DorisLee1966 Yes @virginmedia it is regarding a complaint. My mum is a key worker currently stressed to the maximum. You promised her a price for her contract and you have made a mess of it. She is rather upset over this letter this morning. You have treated her appallingly

  • theMrsH89
    Lou💫 (@theMrsH89) reported

    @virginmedia the main issue is she was promised her whole contract would be £52 but has been told repeatedly that it’s now £88. She then had an email saying with have knocked £21 a month as a continuing refund making it £67 not £52. She has been made to feel like she is a nuisance.
