  • MarkkClifford Mark Clifford (@MarkkClifford) reported from Shoreham-by-Sea, England

    @BenJamesPhotos @virginmedia I’ve had shocking service from them last of couple weeks. Got an engineer coming out tomorrow to hopefully fix my internet. Not had a problem with the customer service.... YET.

  • TheMexicanMoose Moose ⚜️ // ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 (@TheMexicanMoose) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @Hazysmile @virginmedia Damn, might be worth contacting them to see if they’re planning any expansions?

  • scruftgirl joy flowers (@scruftgirl) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia hey ho, here we go again ! Dropping in, dropping out, buffering. Unacceptable service for a whopping £33 per month!

  • Chrissyylilyy C h r i s s a a y💖 (@Chrissyylilyy) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia After asking why we wasnt told so we could make other arrangements we was told that they assumed we already knew. When clearly wasnt the case and was just left in the Lerch! We decided we wanted to make a complaint and asked to be forwarded #virginmedia.

  • Sussexmerlins Nick Weston 🇪🇺 (@Sussexmerlins) reported from Hove, England

    @yorkshirerosie @virginmedia Is your issue that the speed is up and down and it sometimes doesn’t work or that it doesn’t work in parts of your house?

  • aliceharmanx alice❁ (@aliceharmanx) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia how long is the wait to get through to customer services on the phone?

  • Sussexmerlins Nick Weston 🇪🇺 (@Sussexmerlins) reported from Hove, England

    @yorkshirerosie @virginmedia 64mb is ok but if you were getting 150mb then I expect you’d notice it. Good news is. It’s not your issue. It means that theres either a fault on the line, or there’s too many people using it at the same time. It’s called “contention”. Have you called your supplier?

  • Mick1082 Mike smith (@Mick1082) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia I’ve tried all of that it doesn’t work I’ve also heard on the local community Facebook page of people having the exact same problems even though when the service status says there’s no known issues but clearly there is

  • Chrissyylilyy C h r i s s a a y💖 (@Chrissyylilyy) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia who going to connect us early next week! Just have to say the customer service from them was outstanding compared to nightmare scenario revived from the vile creatures at Virgin Media. #virginmedia #rantover

  • Sussexmerlins Nick Weston 🇪🇺 (@Sussexmerlins) reported from Hove, England

    @yorkshirerosie @virginmedia Be that there are businesses on the same exchange backing up their data. I have a similar issue. Sky guarantee 70mb but I only get 65mb. I’m therefore able to cancel my contract and go to another provider. However. This would depend on who the provider is. Most providers buy

  • christieblythe (◕‿◕✿) (@christieblythe) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia are ******* shite. All I wanna do is cancel my contract 🙃 been on hold for fukin ages. 🤬🤬🤬

  • Mick1082 Mike smith (@Mick1082) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia no wi fi again in the BN2 area of Brighton this is getting beyond a joke what’s going on I pay over £130 for this it’s really not good enough this has been like this since last weekend @TheSun @brightonargus do you guys have any inking to what this problem is

  • Lesley_wolan Lesley Crook (@Lesley_wolan) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia engineer arrived at our house today after a week of waiting to upgrade broadband. We now need a Booster which he said he said is free to us. Now going round in circles in your customer services trying to order it. Please contact me

  • Sussexmerlins Nick Weston 🇪🇺 (@Sussexmerlins) reported from Hove, England

    @yorkshirerosie @virginmedia I think your issue is that you are furthest from the cabinet. Therefore everyone else is getting the capacity first. That said for that big a drop in speed late at night it means that they either reduced the capacity on the line or something further up is using a lot. It could

  • alternativeage Alternative Ageing (@alternativeage) reported from Saltdean, England

    @virginmedia I have had intermittent connection issues for 3 days now, as has my neighbour 300 yards away. Despite your site saying their are no issues there is obviously a local problem - again. Could you please DM me as can’t get thru to tour service. Post code BN2 8AE.

  • Sussexmerlins Nick Weston 🇪🇺 (@Sussexmerlins) reported from Hove, England

    @yorkshirerosie @virginmedia Agree. Might just be a faulty router. Unless you live in a castle there shouldn’t be a problem in the room next to the router. I’m in the garden and my router is 20m away in the front room.

  • Chrissyylilyy C h r i s s a a y💖 (@Chrissyylilyy) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia He refused to file our complaint because of this. We feel treated like dirt from start and actually relived they can’t connect because the ‘first impressions’ were utterly disgusting. We have decided to sign up with @bt_uk who going to connect us #virginmedia #bt

  • Chudio Chuds (@Chudio) reported from Worthing, England

    After 45 minutes waiting to speak to @virginmedia the same 4 **** pieces of music again and again I then get cut off! Absolute *****!!!!

  • jennycarroll21 Jenny Carroll (@jennycarroll21) reported from Worthing, England

  • Speecho Tracy Speechley (@Speecho) reported

    @virginmedia That doesnt work either as the queue is so long you loop around for literally days with that daft bot system. Surely you should accept a written confirmation in the post that I am leaving?

  • scouse_ant25 Ant* (@scouse_ant25) reported

    Why it is so hard to get in contact with @virginmedia ? I’ve been on hold on the phone three times and each time I’ve been cut off after an hour. Also tried the website which was next to useless as was the live chat help function they have. Pathetic service!

  • DJacko79 DJ (@DJacko79) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @pescott_gemma @virginmedia @sky **** ive never been on hold that long 😠

  • suse2804 Caboodlepa (@suse2804) reported

    @virginmedia isn't it funny that a communications company unable to communicate with their customers. Absolute NO customer service. How do you get to speak to someone?

  • RussTaylor83 Russ Taylor (@RussTaylor83) reported

    @virginmedia no response to txts. No online chat. And been on hold for an hour on x4 occasions today to cancel my contract. No response. And there I was thinking you were a “communications” company. Talk about How to **** all over your customers...

  • Speecho Tracy Speechley (@Speecho) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve tried that already, you complete the bot questions, they get back to you in 24 hours and its the automated questions again that then put you back in the queue, after 2 days I gave up. It doesnt work what can I do?

  • chrisyboyone Chris Diamond (@chrisyboyone) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia no. My speeds are really slow at time and they just said the speeds are not guaranteed on WiFi. At times my 100meg broadband is running as low as 1/2 meg on WiFi. When I got it, it was over 110 and amazing. I can barely use it at times

  • Hayleysdad15 Noel Dunne (@Hayleysdad15) reported

    Heya @virginmedia hoping for a bit of help please. Recently got new service with yourselves and all has been fantastic. However my smart devices won’t seem to connect. I’ve split the signals and am trying 2.4GHz as suggested but nothing. All worked on old service fine. Thanks

  • AnthCorbettQRC Anthony Corbett (@AnthCorbettQRC) reported

    @virginmedia Not surprised the telephone queue is horrendous, that’ll be people complaining or cancelling as once again virgin media kick people when they’re down by massive price rises when some people are struggling for money ! Always caring. Not.
