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

    @virginmedia Internet connection has been down, again, all day. BristolBS8. Automated reporting and another 23 minutes waiting for technical support

  • 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

  • 1210sounds Rich Hemming (@1210sounds) reported from Bristol, England

    @alone_music @virginmedia Jesus that’s bad, thought it could be done online the activation. I moved house and they said 20£ to move. What they didn’t say was that they renewed the contract and double billed me as they take one month in advance as a new contract. Complained to @virginmedia nothing done

  • 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.

  • TimWorth1 τ!m ω0ɍ†ɧ (@TimWorth1) reported from Bristol, England

    @granuailemalia @SkyUK Probably the same issue @virginmedia had a while ago.

  • 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 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

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

    @virginmedia long wait times 40+ minutes and no fix just another que and a recorded message that will be charged by ‘Virgin Gadget Rescue Team’!. Virgin sets new standards in Customer Service.

  • 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

  • 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

  • jason_side Jason side (@jason_side) reported from Kingswood, England

    @virginmedia Box is connected to TV via HDMI cable I've tried different cables and hdmi ports on TV to eliminate those as issues. Doesn't happen with on-demand programs.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • RickLaze Rick Laze (@RickLaze) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia's customer services is the WORST

  • 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

  • LeeRendall Lee Rendall (@LeeRendall) reported from Bristol, England

    @charllou1 @virginmedia Genuine, was kept on hold 50 mins couple weeks back then when the operator came on told us there was an issue and i had to call back 😳 was FUMING!

  • amybeardy Amy Beardmore (@amybeardy) reported from Winterbourne, England

    @amandavin @virginmedia I need fibre though because of stupid children streaming games and all sorts of nonsense. Anything other than virgin also comes with a £50 BT phone line installation. They’ve got me over a barrel

  • irfonw Irfon Watkins (@irfonw) reported from Bristol, England

    @Virgin @virginmedia @richardbranson Your customer service is so painful and appalling. 2 rings and the sales team answer, 20 minute transfer to Loyalty team, gave up when needing to be transferred to Contract Services team. FFS I only wanted to remain a customer!!!

  • 2getherwesmile TT (@2getherwesmile) reported

    @virginmedia help I have just moved into a flat and taken out virgin broadband. I have no Virgin Media connection point in the flat dies this mean I cannot get broadband?

  • pfmusic_ Paul Fletcher (@pfmusic_) reported

    @virginmedia The Wi-Fi keep dropping out continuously. If you look into my account you guys were running tests on the supply to see what the issue is and we’re supposed to get back to me which you haven’t. I can’t understand how you can charge me when your service and delivery is so bad!

  • markenello Mark Sutherland * (@markenello) reported

    An hour last night, an hour this morning, now on hold to @virginmedia trying to sort out poor WiFi AGAIN!! How **** can 1 companies product and customer service be ???

  • BrianNicholso16 Brian N (@BrianNicholso16) reported

    @markenello @virginmedia We had a similar issue Mark, sent me new modem and didn’t solve it. Finally they sent an engineer who found straight away that the cable coming into the house had degraded. He swapped it and all is well.

  • JohnLilwall2 John Lilwall (@JohnLilwall2) reported

    @virginmedia No it's too late. I don't care about resolving any issues with you. I just want to let people know how bad vm is before they make the same mistake i did and sign up with you so you can deliberately blight their lives.

  • philmcc1875 Phil McCabe (@philmcc1875) reported

    @virginmedia With all the tools available how can customer service be so bad!!

  • markenello Mark Sutherland * (@markenello) reported

    @BrianNicholso16 @virginmedia I'm back on hold after being cut off, told them I want an engineer out but still trying to blag it with unplug etc distilling them I've done this several times, can't get decent WiFi upstairs either, uk call centres would help too

  • itsgracelouise grace louise (@itsgracelouise) reported

    @virginmedia Sending a letter, really? Is it 2005 again? Do I get to be a kid? Surely what you should be sending me is a direct link to complain about the atrocity that this company is. I don’t want to pay to support it any longer, how hard is that to grasp?
