    @virginmedia Hi, the internet doesn't work full stop. It stops but the white light still shows in the box. She needs an engineer please

  • abivedder Abi ن (@abivedder) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia please help, my box won’t work, I can’t watch anything, been sat here for over an hour trying to fix it. So fed up with virgin internet.

  • EreiraS steven ereira (@EreiraS) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I telephone back in June to report an issue only to be fobbed off by one of your call representatives. Then I telephoned again in August because my issue had got worse to be promised a manager will call me back on several occasions no one did.

  • Garrardinho Gary Lager (@Garrardinho) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Can you arrange for one of them to call me tomorrow to resolve as it's a very simple issue but not one I can sort out through your automated service and I don't appreciate being messed about because someone's near the end of their shift.

  • EreiraS steven ereira (@EreiraS) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia In the last 2-weeks I have spent £400 on a mesh system to get the service that you should be providing.

  • EreiraS steven ereira (@EreiraS) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia It was from broadband team the gentleman name was Robert. He was not listening to anything I had to say he was beginning to annoy me so I had to put the phone down before I said something I would regret

  • 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!😡

  • TheSimonC90 🏳️‍🌈🌟Simon🌟🏳️‍🌈, Esq. (@TheSimonC90) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @richstrickland @LDNPeter I usually connect to virgin media, but always have to sign in, and for some reason every time at Wanstead it says I'm not registered

  • 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

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

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

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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!

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

    @virginmedia I find it insulting that you infer it is a problem my end! Once again, the level of customer care is dreadful, and no fixing of the actual problem that we pay a monthly premium for!

  • 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!

  • EreiraS steven ereira (@EreiraS) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I called several times about my broadband to be promised a manager would telephone me back no one never did then you call me back asking for more money not good customer service don't you think

  • NickAnstead Nick Anstead (@NickAnstead) reported from London, England

    Predictably depressing experience calling @virginmedia to cancel contract this afternoon. *On hold for several mins. * Offered £2 off contract monthly by automated answer phone message when I navigate through phone menus saying I want to leave. Say no on touchpad.

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

    @MoneyTelegraph another @virginmedia fiasco! 🤨 Been going on for over a year, just checks mums messages. Internet constantly going down!

  • abivedder Abi ن (@abivedder) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia still no internet. Very annoying Saturday evening. I have done every single thing advised, have it plugged in by Ethernet at the moment but it still is not working 🤬🤬

  • steampie sam (@steampie) reported

    still no internet since i started working 4.5h ago, thanks @virginmedia - and no need to reply with useless crap like 'have you checked status in your area?' or a form apology how it's SUPPOSED to be fixed by 6pm. 12 hours is super helpful!

  • sukhdevKandhola Sukhdev Kandhola (@sukhdevKandhola) reported

    @virginmedia Internet is down in East Greenwich, London. Please fix asap

  • Laura92492442 Laura (@Laura92492442) reported

    @VMO2News @virginmedia Extreme data security that it prevents a engineer call out for a vulnerable 88yr old lady. Both virgin mobile & landline unserviceable which makes her safety necklace invalid. Tried for two days to make contact. 1hr on phone - no help. Astounding lack of sympathy & common sense.

  • JaJaTonii Toni (@JaJaTonii) reported

    @virginmedia how long is the internet going to be down for in SE1 area

    @virginmedia Hi VM, as you can imagine, since you took my ability to work today I will just spend a bit of time raising awareness to your other customers on your feed on how crappy you customer support really is.

  • Julian_S96 Julian (@Julian_S96) reported

    Hi @virginmedia please help. There is an Internet outage in my area and I need to submit a report today.

  • ZreenMansha Zreen Mansha (@ZreenMansha) reported

    @vmbusiness @O2 It’s actually pretty awful. As a business, I am regretting choosing you guys and the 5G. Service blackouts are totally unacceptable.

  • Julian_S96 Julian (@Julian_S96) reported

    @psytcp @virginmedia That actually sounds like not too bad a deal. Double what I have for 60% of the price. Nice! Only nice if it work though lol.
