    @virginmedia So you stopped replying to my emails The install team has finally turned up, one week later than the promised date, only to find the team that spent an hour digging up my road, haven’t pulled the cables and therefore cannot complete the install What will you do to help now?

    @virginmedia It's your customer service that isn't working. And our broadband router.

  • garypleece
    Gary Pleece (@garypleece) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Hi, the interruption is ongoing so I’m guessing we have faulty equipment? When I go onto the website it tells me to ‘reset’ which I do and it works for a while then goes wrong again. Can we sort a new router? Is that the issue?

  • MrBrianRoe
    Brian Roe (@MrBrianRoe) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia your DNS TTL (a web server change time to live) is probably the worst on earth. My new website works everywhere in the world other than on #virginmedia broadband. You absolutely suck, big time. Crock of shite.

  • Sacto_King_UK
    Danny Williamson (@Sacto_King_UK) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia Why? I’ve called over 20 times now. I’ve been promised call backs that never happen I put in a complaint that promised a call back that didn’t happen The pre install team turned up, I fed them and gave the cuppas, they dug up the road but didn’t pull the cable. What next?

    @virginmedia @virginmedia I physically can’t take my service with me because you don’t supply the area & I cant keep it where I am as I am being kicked out of my home, I am not choosing to leave virgin you just can’t provide me a service.

    Hey @virginmedia any news on internet outage in #Brighton BN2?

  • pwvoiceovers
    Patrick Woodward (@pwvoiceovers) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia You asked me to contact you to fix an issue but there are no options to do so. Phone number, when I found it, just led to a bot. Poor service.

  • Sacto_King_UK
    Danny Williamson (@Sacto_King_UK) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia With all due respect, saying sorry doesn’t sort anything. I’d much rather you offered some help If I treated a ‘Customer’ in my workplace the same way Virgin Media have treated my family, I’d almost certainly lose my job. The customer service continues to be appalling

  • garypleece
    Gary Pleece (@garypleece) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia They couldn’t fix it last Saturday… It’s been better today, but still up and down at certain times. Def not fully fixed

    @virginmedia It's fine I am going to cancel my contract as the offer to retain is disgraceful when compared to offer from others

  • INEya_veganfood
    RJ Buddha (@INEya_veganfood) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia crisis with 50%+ increase in monthly costs for no reason. No increase in service, no additional benefits - nothing! Then an horrendous contact centre service.

  • alternativeage
    Alternative Ageing (@alternativeage) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia It’s happening way to regularly. I’ve lost a whole days work up to now, do I get compensation? Spent an hour yesterday morning sorting out yet more issues as a result of the outage over the w/e. 🥲

    @cmairsy @virginmedia Zen for internet - rock solid and great customer service, not that you’ll need it. But after ditching Virgin we went down the freeview route, I’m afraid.

  • tracy_s1
    tracy_s (@tracy_s1) reported

    @virginmedia Now saying that the estimated fix time is 10.05 tomorrow that means 24 hours without the use of tv service we pay for @virginmedia will we get compensation for this?
