  • AlexOrr1 Alex (@AlexOrr1) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia 1. not usually one to gripe about customer service. But I waited in for 5 hours today for one of your engineers to come round to install broadband (between 1-6). No show, no texts/emails from you to say they would be late or where they were...

  • millarddvd DAVE MILLARD (@millarddvd) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia so will we get an apology or comp for not being able to use the phone for anything for hours. Chester to Bristol today. And no updates. Truly woeful service.

  • CherishSin Chris Hines (@CherishSin) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia It was both, the issue resolved itself some time in the early hours of this morning. It would be marvelous if Virgin Media's status page actually reflected the status!

  • alittleredpanda viki ✨✨✨ (@alittleredpanda) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia I don’t have any internet on a wired connection either. And that link says there’s nothing wrong with my service

  • jph98 Jon Holloway 📫 (@jph98) reported from Chipping Sodbury, England

    @virginmedia quite obviously struggling with internet in the last few weeks. Frustrating and highly annoying for those who depend on it for their businesses. The incredulousness is the worst part. #internet #home #wifi #virgin

  • metallicnat Natalie Timmons (@metallicnat) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia We have resolved it by turning the whole lot off and then on again and that seems to have fixed the issue #ClassicTechSupportAdvice

  • oliviamck0 olivia (@oliviamck0) reported

    @virginmedia was expecting my new router to be delivered by yodel yesterday, no sign of it, had to cancel work today, due to work from home all of next week with no wifi thanks to you. Tried to plug in my old router so I could work today, didn’t work, disgrace

  • Drcox22222 …… (@Drcox22222) reported

    @virginmedia Looks like I’ve been given a speed boost..but the Wi-Fi is slow at times it takes ages to load up some times

  • barlow99 Unique CB7 (@barlow99) reported

    @virginmedia About a couple of months I got the Wi-Fi booster pods and now it’s not working keep kicking me off of my internet and just keep flashing. I’ve reset the internet and done most things to fix it any reason why it’s not working all of a sudden?

  • halobabeee Hazel (@halobabeee) reported

    @virginmedia I’m trying via the WhatsApp option as my signal area isn’t good enough for phonecalls

  • Xxassassinzz CameronSwaby (@Xxassassinzz) reported

    @virginmedia No I check whenever it gets really bad but nothing ever shows up. When I did the speedtest I made sure I was near the box to ensure I was getting the best reading possible but it was still only near 90Mbps and I was the only person in the house at the time.

  • catfarm42 Louise Bennington (@catfarm42) reported

    @virginmedia This IS what I did, they were supposed to come yesterday, but I got a text saying they put it on hold to investigate a a network issue and would update me when this was fixed. THERE IS NO NETWORK ISSUE, why haven't I been updated?

  • Winepal_ winepal (@Winepal_) reported

    @virginmedia Nothing says the lines are down for routine maintenance been like that since Tuesday. It was out for delivery Monday then never turned up and tracking said was out for delivery yesterday then said car left at neighbours now saying waiting to receive from you.

  • sarahellenk1 SarahellenK (@sarahellenk1) reported

    @virginmedia We agreed 3 weeks ago that I could use the account for a while to go through crucial emails and forward them. The next day the account was deleted, and this has caused me no end of problems. I felt positive after this convo - not now. And I’m paying £7 per month for what?

  • NoteOfKai Note Of Kai (@NoteOfKai) reported

    @RichieUK_TTV @virginmedia @YodelOnline I'd report it down as theft at this point mate

  • jellybaby1968 Nicola Middleton (@jellybaby1968) reported

    So @Specsavers and @virginmedia seem to have zero customer service! Tried contacting both today and nothing... Zilch! Sadly shoddy service is rife these days and it is damn frustrating... #CustomerServiceIsDead
