  • kqbrain
    Khurram Qayam (@kqbrain) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia let me down once again with their pathetic service. First the broadband was extremely slow all day and now the Hub is gone. No emergency appointment and I have to wait for a week for a technician visit. @Ofcom

  • CraigHannan4
    Craig Hannan (@CraigHannan4) reported from Ash, England

    @virginmedia Yes. And there customer service email. I also tried the contact number. But not accepting calls. Surely this should be automatically credited to me. I shouldn’t have to chase it. Sent loads of emails over the last few weeks now. I’ve just been ignored.

  • Pablocollier
    Paul Collier (@Pablocollier) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia Patchy. And the weekends enquiry regarding possibly upgrading... Non existent service.

  • callum_penny
    Callum Penny (@callum_penny) reported from Fleet, England

    @virginmedia no WiFi for the past 4 hours now… have ran tests to solve issues. Says service is fine in area again now but still nothing? Gu52 area code

  • MikeBiscoe1
    Mike Biscoe (@MikeBiscoe1) reported from Reading, England

    If anyone is interested in how much @virginmedia are overcharging for their dreadful service, I’ve just been offered a price match on cancellation to move to a different supplier. £27.50/month for a service for which they originally increased price to £105/month

  • ce141974
    Caryn Sinclair (@ce141974) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia your customer service is beyond bad!! When making a complaint because I have no internet your representative desires to shout over me! I’ve been waiting 3 days!! Shocking!!!

  • K74Marti
    Marti Jerrard - K74 (@K74Marti) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia I have followed every instruction as advised. Turned off, set, check status and even network issue in area.. it just keeps dropping out daily with no know issues. It’s as if faster broadband has actually slowed it all down! Pse sort it out

  • TomboBrewster
    Tom Vincent (@TomboBrewster) reported from Egham, England

    Not a great start by @virginhelp @virginmedia Engineer doesn't turn up and now 90mins and waiting on hold to find out what the issue is. Annoying we had to leave @skytv because of their broadband speed in the new house.

  • FuzzyPixels
    Matt Gardner (@FuzzyPixels) reported from Slough, England

    Not gonna lie... @virginmedia could not have picked a worse moment to completely **** the bed 😑

  • PhilStace20
    Phil Stacey (@PhilStace20) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia It’s more about how this can’t be dealt with online and spending a busy day trying to get to talk with someone who actually can help. #Disgraceful #expectedthis

  • robmcewan1966
    Rob McEwan (@robmcewan1966) reported from Finchampstead, England

    @virginmedia Truly astounding. I have spent hours trying to get virgin to actually carry out promises made and we’re still not there. I’ll swear the customer services reps I speak to are under so much pressure to move on to the next call they make it up as they go.

  • paulpavli
    Paul (@paulpavli) reported from Farnham Royal, England

    @virginmedia your call assistant just hung up on me when I wanted to escalate a complaint. My complaint, I’ve been waiting 4 months for an answer / install of fibre at a new address. I guess I’ve only been a customer for circa 15 years so not that important really

  • pmross
    Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England

    Dear @VirginMedia, after 3x visits from technicians over 6 months (one of whom LIED about fixing bb/WiFi) I’m now back to no service (48 hours). Yes, tried rebooting, off/on etc, status says everything OK, Called yesterday and there IS an issue. When are you going to fix it?

  • Rochdale_Cowboy
    Craig (@Rochdale_Cowboy) reported from Maidenhead, England

    Took out an @O2 account as part of some 'volt' deal with @virginmedia. My god O2 are bad. Apparently you have to wait a few months to access your account online to wait until their systems "catch up" for new joiners. Shouldn't have bothered.

  • EmsAlice
    Ems (@EmsAlice) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia We just purchased a film from the media store and it won’t play - just is stuck at 0 minutes 😡 we’ve restarted our box but always have problems like this with catch up especially… not ideal when we’ve paid money to rent a film! Can you help at all?

  • DimiD35089880
    DimiD (@DimiD35089880) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia can’t even set up hub properly. 3 weeks since I upgraded my speed and I receive still the same but they keep insisting (we made changes will approve by tomorrow) REALLY!!! Is technical support think we are so stupid. Get a grip @virginmedia next stop complaints

  • CM40UK
    CM40 (@CM40UK) reported from Blackwater, England

    @virginmedia No resolution has been offered by @virginmedia hence I have no cancelled my contract.

  • AlloquiStrix
    Alloqui Strix (@AlloquiStrix) reported

    An in-place upgrade which is causing a 10 day outage - pretty awful planning @virginmedia. And telling us it would be fixed in 1 day, then 2 days, then 4 days, then 3 days, then 4 days, then 10 days - is a bit of a joke.

  • TelfordMemories
    Marcus Keane (@TelfordMemories) reported

    Virgin Broadband has now gone down twice within the last 48 Hrs in the TF7 area in Telford @virginmedia might be time to change Suppliers 😡

  • andreac14064810
    andrea crosby (@andreac14064810) reported

    @virginmedia I’m totally disgusted by your service

  • Coxy_Girl_
    Juniper Pearl (@Coxy_Girl_) reported

    @yoffey @virginmedia Call cut out. Got through later without an hour long wait. Issue identified but also that our TV box was old and needed updating. New box due tomorrow, TV issue did resolve itself over night.

  • jbond
    WhiskyTango AlphaFox 😷🇪🇺🍸 (@jbond) reported

    Classic Virgin Media. I have TNT sports. TNT bought by HBO Max. VM email about streaming deal. Follow instructions, click "activate TNT Sports-HBO Max". Get this :- > Sorry, something’s gone wrong! We’re having some technical issues. Please try again later. Sigh.

  • formerprisoner_
    Reformed Prisoner (@formerprisoner_) reported

    @virginmedia 2/2 cont… ombudsman. You constantly failed to deliver a service, made constant promises and failed to deliver on them, so you were left with no choice but to agree to the cancellation. You are quite comfortably the worst broadband provider I have ever come across.

  • pyrcroft
    Pablo (@pyrcroft) reported

    @virginmedia @Ofcom, why doesn't ofcom do anything about the extremely bad service at Virgin Media?, several phone calls, at least 10hours, messages on here, and STILL they are unable to resolve access to my account!!!!!!!!

  • LORDCANTl
    roach!! 🧀 INDONESIA IN 4 MONTHS!!! (@LORDCANTl) reported

    @virginmedia hey. can you explain why our virgin tv suddenly decided to become "cogeco" and insist we're in canada when we very much live in the uk and have never been to canada? we cannot access any streaming services.

  • clintontayls
    Clinton (@clintontayls) reported

    @virginmedia guess what another day being disappointed with a partial tv service. I complain using this medium and I get the run around🤬. It’s been ok for 2 years but sky was for 20+ years🤔

  • rolo852010
    Rolland Law (@rolo852010) reported
