  • SGuggiariPeel Sam Peel (@SGuggiariPeel) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia worst customer services I've ever dealt with. They make it hard to complain then lied to me twice deliberately and closed the complaint before it was resolved. Don't trust them!

  • KeithBursnall Keith Bursnall (@KeithBursnall) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia According to your website broadband connectivity is fine and TV is experiencing some issues with certain channels. I have no broadband and no channels at all

  • Amanda_Davey12 Amanda Davey (@Amanda_Davey12) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia The link was broken, I have made a complaint online, you do have my phone number however, as our technology provider, someone should have called!

  • Amanda_Davey12 Amanda Davey (@Amanda_Davey12) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia @virginmedia it goes on, we have had no Internet for 3 months, that’s finally been fixed and now no TV, and I am still on the line, 58 minutes, not sure where the guy has gone, I’m not putting the phone down!

  • Gemsy8382 Gemma Sargeant (@Gemsy8382) reported from London, England

    Unbelievable! My mums internet service is having problems. The call centre seem unable to deal with this. This has been going on for months. I'm still on hold. If it's not sorted today you're losing a customer @virginmedia

  • Amanda_Davey12 Amanda Davey (@Amanda_Davey12) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia no TV for 24 hours, been on the phone for 50 minutes, guy has now disappeared, left me hanging on the line! The service is so bad!

  • Gemsy8382 Gemma Sargeant (@Gemsy8382) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Unfortunately the guy just put the phone down on me and that link is not working!

  • bobby_harding_ Bobby Harding (@bobby_harding_) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Hi ALG, thanks for the reply, it’s greatly appreciated😊 After a long call with Yodel we’ve found out there was a system error resulting in them having to return to the depot & they will attempt to deliver today. Nevertheless, the problem has been the lack of communication to us.

  • buckers43 Andrew Buxton (@buckers43) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia I've been a customer with you for 21 years and your customer service is not great, I'm paying through the roof for my package, the wifi is crap sometimes, your team has offered to take my bill down £20, but when I mentioned about replacing my hub, that will cost £35

  • beckylucydell Becky Dell (@beckylucydell) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia your service is a joke. Just taken me 32 minutes to change my bank details on the phone. Call centre staff should be able to speak the same language as your customers to a standard high enough to be able to do the job. Such a waste of time 😩😩😩

  • 1011FOXEE beverley fox (@1011FOXEE) reported from Takeley, England

  • JCunninghamUK Jordan Cunningham (@JCunninghamUK) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia WHY IS YOUR WIFI THE ABSOLUTE WORST WIFI IN THE WORLD!!!! Anymore than 5 metres away and it disconnects - getting very frustrated

  • mgrazia_baf sbruffoncella #antifa🇮🇹🇪🇺🇬🇧🌋 (@mgrazia_baf) reported from London, England

    In a world that runs on the net if you are a @virginmedia customer you have to wait 4 days for an engineer to fix a modem, installed only in November 2018. IT’S NOT A JOKE!!! Thank you for letting me loose a day of work and 3 days worth of studying. #virginbroadband

  • ukwip Anthony Cohen (@ukwip) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Area issue. Fix by 12 July 4:50pm

  • bobby_harding_ Bobby Harding (@bobby_harding_) reported from London, England

    I have just received the most atrocious customer service from @virginmedia ! WiFi was supposed to be here two days ago because it was signed for at the wrong address & I’ve just been told by a supervisor that there’s nothing they could do, thanked me for my time. Then hung up!😡

  • JamesKent06 James Kent (@JamesKent06) reported

    @virginmedia My Internet keeps dropping out. Every time it does I have to reconnect all my tech. I don't know why I'm paying so much for such bad service. So frustrating!

  • PresBastards Denis (@PresBastards) reported

    @virginmedia Just to to wait 5 working days. Which means next Friday. Which means I can't login to work for a week. Which obviously has ramifications. It's a joke.

  • nadworks Nadja von Massow 💚🌎 #FBPE (@nadworks) reported

    @rchatley @virginmedia Yes, there’s an issue. But no idea why they don’t bother updating this on their website.

  • Richardw9427 Richard Williams (@Richardw9427) reported

    @virginmedia It says by the 14th - 2 days from now. That seems like an awful long time to wait, and a long time for people to be burning through mobile data (if they can afford it). If there's any way it can be flagged as urgent that would be appreciated. Seems like the whole area is down

  • kkmusic Kevin Kerrigan (@kkmusic) reported

    @virginmedia it is not this line it is the area 15. this happens every single time and always told to run line test which it never is. it is area 15 fault. ongoing ... please report

  • mattjohnharris Matthew Harris (@mattjohnharris) reported

    @virginmedia your compensation model is so bad! We have had over 32 hours of down time in our town this week over 3 days. Everyone has been cramming into coffee shops and restaurants that use BT.
