    @robertgilbert86 @virginmedia Hm, ok. Today has been a nightmare. Bf listening to hold music for an hour, lied to about when a technician was coming, then he was aggressive and both he & customer services then seemed to be gaslighting.

  • damawa42
    Daniel W (@damawa42) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia But your SMS team either a) never respond or b) refuse to help me specifically because they say there are outstanding issues. So, through a combination of a) and b), you never look at my issue. Because there's either always a wider issue, OR you ignore me. Utterly unhelpful.

    @virginmedia We are paying alot of money for your non existent services !! In a time where we all need internet you simply get things sorted !! Once again the internet is down !!

  • OptimiseOrDie
    Craig Sullivan (@OptimiseOrDie) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia It’s back now but was out for about 36 hours in this area. Service kept dropping (I know, I checked the router logs). Hope you keep it running!

  • willjennings80
    WILL JÆNNINGS-13 (@willjennings80) reported from Lambeth, England

    Hi @virginmedia. You were meant to phone us at 8am today. Just like your service guy was supposed to turn up 12-4 yesterday, but instead turned up at 7, hadn't been told what the issue was, got aggressive & drove off. You are appalling.

  • JanineAdelman
    Curly O's (@JanineAdelman) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia We have ongoing service fault making our viewing impossible. It cannot be rectified as engineers cannot work. Yet you still increase our bill by over £25!! Tried to phone but end up being cut off, no online chat working. Very frustrated.Please advise what can we do.

    Davey Murphy (@daveyneilmurphy) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @virginmedia so tired of no communication. My internet has been OUT for 4 days now and heard nothing from you at all. Can’t believe I’m paying for such poor service.

    Why is @virginmedia so bad!!!!

  • louiseash3

    And the checking service on Virgin Media page gets you nowhere.

  • edmoses
    ed moses (@edmoses) reported from Harefield, England

    @Ian_H_007 @virginmedia I pay for 500Mb - currently getting 86Mb. I can just about live with that. Being on hold during Skype/Teams/Zoom calls is unacceptable. The boys are having problems gaming and our video downloads on Sky keep failing - not great service.

    @virginmedia any idea how long broadband outage in TW11 will last. Thanks

    Hi @virginmedia ... right now your ‘service’ is delivering a download speed of 0.57 Mbps. You’re a joke.

  • NanjibaM
    Nanjiba (@NanjibaM) reported from Harrow Weald, England

    @virginmedia hi, why did I receive this text message: Important update: so we can roll out network improvements, we're sending you a new SIM. Please follow the steps to swap it as soon as it arrives in 7-10 working days. I don't need a new one. Thanks.

  • PhelanHill
    Phelan Hill MBE (@PhelanHill) reported from Wandsworth, England

    Just left @bt_uk and switched to @virginmedia Best move ever! 50% cheaper and broadband is 60x quicker! Standard and quality of service by @bt_uk was awful, not fit for purpose!

  • damawa42
    Daniel W (@damawa42) reported from Camden Town, England

    @lornajane2 @virginmedia Yeah, clearly something wrong specifically with my Virgin kit, or something hyperlocal (cabinet/wiring)... But they refused to investigate my query as there was an outstanding issue until May 5th, and since then disgracefully haven't bothered responding. So can't get a diagnosis.

  • MAL_T7
    Malinda Thotiwilage Esq. 🇱🇰🇬🇧 (@MAL_T7) reported from Merton, England

    Shocking customer service experience from @virginmedia need to find the legality of coming out of contract which was started last month. Scott/Chris you guys need some serious training on customer service over the phone.

  • louiseash3

    Down again! Shocking service. Bank holiday weekend and no broadband or TV #virginmedia

  • ConfidingGoblin
    Luke William Reardon (@ConfidingGoblin) reported from Tottenham, England

    @virginmedia cut out 20 mins early tonight. And you had been so consistantly bad I was beginning to worry. Back to being inconsistently bad. Great work team. 😡

    Malinda Thotiwilage Esq. 🇱🇰🇬🇧 (@MAL_T7) reported from Merton, England

    @xalzias @virginmedia There’s more people out there looking for jobs. People who doesn’t enjoy their jobs should find something else they like. I’m glad you have moved on. I need support or assistance from @virginmedia nothing less nothing more.

    @virginmedia Service went down yesterday evening before 20.30. It seems to be working again this morning, I don't know what time last night it was restored.

  • Hopthings
    Matt Hopkins (@Hopthings) reported

    @virginmedia Just provide a better customer experience. The technology is solid and am happy with the product, but someone at VM needs to start taking customer service more seriously.

    @virginmedia fastest and most reliable wifi my arse, goes down more than mia khalifa, at least with her you know what you’re paying for, feels like we are paying for a connection piggy backed off the neighbours ******* toaster at times

  • jaward916
    Jonathan Ward (@jaward916) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia Morning! So I checked the app for status and was fine, but on the website it said known issue all services. So I subscribed to the SMS alerts and it was "back" at 22:03. Hopefully it stays that way!

    @l1vparkinson @virginmedia @YodelOnline I once worked for yodel as a courier. Worst job I ever had. With some of the things I saw I’m not surprised this happens . Yodel’s reputation is no secret. Companies use them cos they’re cheap and with great cheapness comes great irresponsibility.

  • BurnettGlen

    @virginmedia care to enlighten me why my broadband has been down the past hour!!?!

  • RPSPNP1
    RPSPNP (@RPSPNP1) reported

    @virginmedia Hi! To update you, yes I can upgrade my modem to Super Hub 3, but for a charge of £35. Apparently this is for activation. My Super Hub 2 has been causing a few issues so I may need the upgrade. Thank you.

    @virginmedia Hi, I moved to a new accommodation and i chose virgin media for my internet service, they gave me an appointment on 14 May, and the engineer came on 7 May and said everything is ready for setting up. Why the wait then? Can you just provide the connection now?

    @virginmedia Sorted in about 1.5 hours. Sadly lost at the beginning of our church service and came back on just after the end!! Hey ho!!
