  • Pegaso650 Jon Lovett (@Pegaso650) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia This has been ongoing for over a month now. Pixelated on BBC2, E4, Channel 5 etc. I’m entirely feed up with this awful service and this month my bill has increased again.

  • Cluckmuckcook James Hillery (@Cluckmuckcook) reported from Brentwood, England

    @virginmedia your customer services is atrocious. When trying to sort out my brother-in-law affairs after he sadly lost his battle with cancer a couple of weeks ago. My wife has spent hours on the phone trying to get to someone who can help her. Please dm a direct no to call.

  • theonionlives James Campbell (@theonionlives) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia No known issues in the area!

  • daphnemotivates Daphne Clifton (@daphnemotivates) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia As I said, I’ve done the pin reset thing as Ben suggested. I’m fed up trying to fix something that wasn’t my fault. And I won’t get any recompense. I feel trapped by @virginmedia Can’t wait to escape

  • crosswhatfields crosswhatfields (@crosswhatfields) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia your service is shit. Outtages ongoing and no news via text. This afternoon: “everything sorted by 6pm” but nothing sorted. **** your stupid TV, it’s broadband we want. Awful service!

  • daphnemotivates Daphne Clifton (@daphnemotivates) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Again, hoops to go through to log a complaint. Why can’t YOU log it on my behalf. It’s called customer service. Sorry, @virginmedia is generally not fit for purpose when it comes to customer care. I’m sure your hands are tied by a ridiculous, uncaring system

  • TPAdams Tom Adams (@TPAdams) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia @cpu_fox Just to feed in here that we've had intermittent broadband problems in SE13 7 as well for last few days, particularly bad today. Clearly something up. But status on website says "No known issues"

  • Tazul2015 Tazul Islam (@Tazul2015) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia any ideas when you are increasing your price next...so I can cancel my contract early

  • cholten99 David Durant (@cholten99) reported from London, England

    The page on @virginmedia that should show me why my broadband is down - is also down...

  • TheMrsNatG I am a Penguin 🐧 (@TheMrsNatG) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Checked this already. No issues, has been days.

  • Pegaso650 Jon Lovett (@Pegaso650) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia Faulty equipment, price rise and awful customer service.

  • daphnemotivates Daphne Clifton (@daphnemotivates) reported from London, England

    No internet this morning @virginmedia , who kindly say I only get a refund on this service if it’s down for TWO DAYS! How on earth do they get away with such shabby service. Please tell me if I’m running my business that shabbily #unhappybusinessperformancoachtoday!

  • theonionlives James Campbell (@theonionlives) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Both still not working before I left for work this morning.

  • MaverickMark mark palmer (@MaverickMark) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia over 2 years of daily intermittent broadband caused by you and hidden - I can’t get a fix. Now tv box and router both don’t work. 3 hours wasted on phone, 3 dropped calls and sorry doesn’t cut it.

  • Pegaso650 Jon Lovett (@Pegaso650) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia No advice, no contact = appalling service. This is the problem!

  • theonionlives James Campbell (@theonionlives) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia It’s still not working!

  • daphnemotivates Daphne Clifton (@daphnemotivates) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Thanks. It’s only been down this morning. I’m advised it’ll be back by 4pm. So I lose one day of study/work and have no recompense because it isn’t 2 days. I can’t wait to leave Virgin Media but feel trapped. Not a good place to be.

  • Lindor1306 Jo Marion Pauline (@Lindor1306) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia are unbelievable. Took a direct debit in error at end of January from my elderly father, promised to pay back in 5 days but didn’t. Then promised 7-10 days but again didn’t. Still no refund and now not even responding to formal complaint. Disgusting!

  • Pegaso650 Jon Lovett (@Pegaso650) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia Another week has passed, still no contact from your unbelievably awful resolution team!

  • Nansaidh3 Nansaidh (@Nansaidh3) reported

    @virginmedia I have no sevice on my is there a problem or is my phone?

  • SFisher74 sally fisher (@SFisher74) reported

    @VMO2News @virginmedia Would not recommend Virgin. Had more problems with them than we ever had with sky and BT together. No WiFi for 3 days - “due to an outage” they say. How is this acceptable? Terrible service.

  • WhitakerJoan Joan Whitaker (@WhitakerJoan) reported

    @bobharrisuk @virginmedia I am having the same problem. 10 days and several hours on the phone. Still no email.

  • a_lil_bear JoJo (@a_lil_bear) reported

    @virginmedia Yes. Spoken to the call centre as well… same story EVERY time ‘we are working on it’. How long will it take to fix? It’s effecting numerous systems in my house!

  • RJG9090 Ryanjoegilbert@outlook.com (@RJG9090) reported

    @virginmedia my Internet wasn't working this morning. I have tried the service status which tells me to wait 24 hours. I have reset my hub, factory reset my hub and the light on the hub is white but no device is working. Followed all your guides online too.

  • WhitakerJoan Joan Whitaker (@WhitakerJoan) reported

    @VMO2News @virginmedia Is this why you seem unable to fix faults.

  • KayJay242111 KayJay (@KayJay242111) reported

    @virginmedia interesting conversation with your helpdesk. My 'super' hub 3 is experiencing intermittent WiFi issues with signal drop outs; Nothing they can do... really? You only guarantee ethernet and not WiFi? Thanks(!) Maybe I should reconsider supplier?

  • gsethi2003 Gurvinder Sethi (@gsethi2003) reported

    @virginmedia @curlylew06 @richardbranson No point raising complaints as you just ignore them or offer tiny compensation for the trouble caused. Virgin Media getting worse each year

  • Diana80824998 Diana (@Diana80824998) reported

    @virginmedia I have spoken to one of your staff but he could/ would not cancel it but was trying to sell me more broadband which I do not need. He said he would call back but that didn’t happen. I have come up against a brick wall. Please provide an email address so that I can cancel this.

  • gsethi2003 Gurvinder Sethi (@gsethi2003) reported

    @Ed6114 @virginmedia No it's exactly the service you have given Ed, me and a lot of other customers. Your customer service is absolutely awful as 8s your comppaimts handling procedure.
