  • mattyribbo Matt Ribbins (@mattyribbo) reported from Filton, England

    @virginmedia Wired. The issue isn't with my side of the network. It appears to be on the virgin side based on the router logs.

  • KenTrowbridge3 Ken Trowbridge (@KenTrowbridge3) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Can we DM this issue please or give me a contact number where I can actually speak to someone without the intensely annoying waiting times. Thanks in advance and anticipation! Ken

  • LouRipley Louise Ripley (@LouRipley) reported from Kingswood, England

    @virginmedia absolute disgrace. Advise via Twitter to make complaint, logged 2-no response, called lots no joy, promises result in nothing. Absolute shambles. STAY AWAY peeps!! Sky a dream in comparison

  • DigitalJonathan Jonathan Phillips, Esq. (@DigitalJonathan) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia down again... it’s been awful all day. Up and down. You really are a terrible provider.

  • sbcallen Bruce Allen (@sbcallen) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia customers with difficult problems seem to be parked in telephone que until they go away. Really trying to work to Virgin. Still waiting 55 minutes bet they will just disconnect me!

  • hisotalus Hannimal 🇪🇺🇬🇧🏳️‍🌈 (@hisotalus) reported from Bristol, England

    On top of this since I changed to @virginmedia last week, they have sent me a marketing text message almost every day (Sunday is the only exception). I can’t find how to opt out of these and not sure blocking my network provider’s number is a wise idea. Never have I this quickly

  • charleebliss_ CHARLEE BLISS ® (@charleebliss_) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia please can you help me with my order!! Tried to ring your offices but rude and useless

  • sbcallen Bruce Allen (@sbcallen) reported from Bristol, England

    Virgin media service - connection goes down with 24 hours & no help from technical services, just reading from a script & no escalation. Giving up after a year of unacceptable service. Lovely and polite on social media, impossible once a customer #virginmedia

  • shaner1989 Shane Richardson (@shaner1989) reported from Bristol, England

    @vmbusinesshelp @virginmedia @vmbusiness Hi, I think the issue is sorted now. @virginmedia has helped. Shame the call centre is awful though.

  • sbcallen Bruce Allen (@sbcallen) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia after nearly a year of repeatedly dropped internet service finally asked them to turn off their Wi-fi kit so can use my own. Basic connection fails, again, and nothing left for support desk to blame - challenge that if it’s not on the script then no help

  • mikelind2 Mike Lind 🦏 (@mikelind2) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia sadly having to post again. Home broadband down again. Your service is so unreliable it is useless. U have failed to provide a reliable broadband service and remain in breach of contract.

  • chrisandobe Chris (@chrisandobe) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia please get the mobile signal better in fishponds Bristol

  • RebekahMorriss 🌈Rebekah Rhian🦄 (@RebekahMorriss) reported from Bristol, England

    @gavindp2012 @virginmedia It's really annoying because my cctv is ran by the WiFi and it needs resetting all the time it's down

  • shaner1989 Shane Richardson (@shaner1989) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia your support team are useless. 3 hours on calls today. I cannot get my time back that your operatives have wasted by hanging up or disconnecting 3 time.

  • chefwonderwebb nick webb (@chefwonderwebb) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia why has it taken 32 mins on hold to cancel my subscription! I’m still waiting to talk to the person I spoke to 15mjns ago! Terrible service

  • LouRipley Louise Ripley (@LouRipley) reported from Kingswood, England

    @virginmedia stopped our DD because you take excess ££ from our a/c. Called lots of times, written 2 complaints, been promised it’ll be sorted but empty promises AGAIN absolutely by far worse customer service I’ve ever experienced

  • hisotalus Hannimal 🇪🇺🇬🇧🏳️‍🌈 (@hisotalus) reported from Bristol, England

    @Julie_B92 Especially when particularly young people might not be able to access internet for this kind of stuff on any other device than their phones. It’s so disappointing @virginmedia doesn’t reply to these tweets. I hope it’s an honest oversight and they’ll fix this.

  • JimEBallantyne James E Ballantyne (@JimEBallantyne) reported from Bristol, England

    After another 30 mins on hold I’ve given up for today as you’re impacting my evening @Virgin @virginmedia @richardbranson Crap service 👎🏻 you never know who might be a returning customer in the future and this is such a poor experience #BadService #CancellingDueToPriceHike

  • buzzcockblue paul hanlon (@buzzcockblue) reported

    @journalupdate is the Journal aware of issues with Virgin Media, down in part of Salisbury for 6 days with no meaningful updates? Has anyone from @virginmedia updated the Journal?

  • YumYumProfit LUNATIC MOM 🇮🇳🇬🇧 (@YumYumProfit) reported

    @virginmedia @TheLastofUsHBO Hi I need a booster for my wifi signal. I tried calling 150 but can’t get through to anyone to talk to.

  • helenvecht Helen Vecht (@helenvecht) reported

    @AnnaBatchelor @virginmedia I advised an elderly, recently widowed friend she should look very closely at her mobile phone contract so that it could be terminated promptly when she died. I've heard NIGHTMARE tales of problems with this!

  • MrPorty Simon Peters (@MrPorty) reported

    @virginmedia Sorry, That just takes me to the sign in page. No chat box or anything popped up

  • lapdog26 victoria quigley (@lapdog26) reported

    @virginmedia totally disgusted with the bill i have recieved £55 for internet are you having a laugh and customer service was no use i've been a customer for 15 year, maybe not much longer

  • superstaryas7 yas ➐ (@superstaryas7) reported

    @virginmedia The issue isn't just for me. It's other customers too in the area. So booking a tech for myself won't resolve anything. If that was the case, I'd have booked one yday for today. How comes i can't see the time frame fix that u can?

  • 1rfansays Irfan (@1rfansays) reported

    Everytime I call the date changes of when the area issue will be fixed, just ridiculous . No service wifi or TV for almost a month now!!! @virginmedia

  • J_England93 Josh England (@J_England93) reported from New Waltham, England

    @virginmedia are the rudest, most unhelpful & disgusting company I’ve ever had to deal with. I can’t wait to leave them. Problem after problem after problem after problem they’re are an absolute joke

  • superstaryas7 yas ➐ (@superstaryas7) reported

    @virginmedia So the broadband issue will clear out in the next few hours? Why do I have to report back again in 4 hours? This intermittent issue has been on going since Yday. Time before it was last month and time before for around 3 months, between oct-Jan this year

  • Samanth73659619 Samantha sanderson (@Samanth73659619) reported

    @virginmedia Hello, o2 won't let me cancel without paying a fee. You have reduced the costs of my tv package which has been very helpful, but @O2 are refusing to do any offers and want to charge me to leave.
