    @lobsterpants66 @virginmedia Yep. Engineer never turned up but logged it as he turned up and couldn’t get a reply. Lying b’stard.

  • alansbrown alan brown (@alansbrown) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @richie_errol @virginmedia I have had the same for years and have now gone to sky. I also called sky to cancel and start again so could get 100 cash back via quidco and they have me 100 credit on my first bill. More customer service in 3 mins from sky than 15 years from @virginmedia

  • Crypto_News_ Crypto Trading (@Crypto_News_) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia sort your network #virginmedia #virgin broadband 🤮🤮

  • Tai_Aro Tai Aro (@Tai_Aro) reported from London, England

    Hey @virginmedia @VirginMediaCC I’ve not had #broadband connection for a day now. The usual fixes are not working, tried calling customer service but no answer. Please help!

  • mrrob74 Rob (@mrrob74) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia You’ve shown a trailer for #McMillions, saying it’s available on Virginmedia on demand. I can’t find it anywhere! Please help.

  • ShelleyFacius Shelley (Facius) Stuart (@ShelleyFacius) reported from London, England

    Anyone else have no broadband since yesterday due to a @virginmedia outage? This is the third time since April!! My neighbours and I seriously debating move back to Sky #virginmedia get it right

  • chadoneit Charlie Done It. (@chadoneit) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I finally got through to a girl called Chloe. She was very argumentative and seemed to cut me off at the end so none the wiser. How do I go about making a complaint?

  • Crypto_News_ Crypto Trading (@Crypto_News_) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia Sort your network @virginmedia NETWORK DOWN

  • KeithBursnall Keith Bursnall 🏳️‍🌈 (@KeithBursnall) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia down for the third time today. Why am I paying for this?

  • gorgeousuk A҈n҈n҈a҈b҈e҈l҈l҈e҈ H҈i҈l҈l҈ (@gorgeousuk) reported from London, England

    Disastrous service from @virginmedia every single day in SE6 area. On off on off all day long. On most expensive tariff. Joke

  • nixearle Nicola Slyper (@nixearle) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I’ve been trying to get a response from your live chat. I sent a message at 9:38 this morning. I got a response at 13:00 but the person seems to have disappeared as now I’m not getting any response. I just need old bills from Mar-Jul19. Please help?

  • SimonBucks Simon Bucks (@SimonBucks) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia It was down for the whole of yesterday. Came back eventually in the evening but too late for my working day. Please can you tell us what the problem was. The service is really flaky and for the price you charge I would expect 99.9% reliability.

  • Mike__Lloyd Mike Lloyd (@Mike__Lloyd) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    Internet has been up and down for several hour tonight. Has been doing stuff like this on and off for days recently SM1 As usual they claim ints fine @virginmedia #virginmediadown

  • alansbrown alan brown (@alansbrown) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @VirginMediaCorp Shame your awful service has caused me to leave and I am sure @richie_errol wikl be following suit soon!! @virginmedia #servicefailure

  • scottdb79 Scott (@scottdb79) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia WiFi down yet again in SE6, what’s going on, can your servers not cope with temperatures above 30c! I think it’s time to stop using the #stayconnected tag line, it’s not doing you any favours. Some of us have to work to do and deadlines to meet.

  • andycairns Andy Cairns (@andycairns) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia No service again in RM2. Last speed test showed 3mbps when I’m paying for 500. Only option to cancel my account involves sitting on a premium rate number for an unspecified length of time. This is awful service.

  • J0111C JC X Æ A-01 (@J0111C) reported from Stone, England

    @virginmedia how do I find out when my current deal ends??? Cos in all honesty you’re the biggest **** sandwich of a firm I’ve ever dealt with.

  • RuthTongueBites Ruth Tongue (@RuthTongueBites) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Yes it has thanks but could I have an email address for customer care/complaints pls?

  • wonky61shaky Penny Rolfe (@wonky61shaky) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia When are you going to refund me for many days without a wifi signal

  • FplFranco FPL Franco (James) (@FplFranco) reported

    @virginmedia I am still experiencing these intermittent drops in connection and once again an engineer has not turned up because of a wider issue not related to my drops in connection! I'm getting very frustrated, the issue has been happening for weeks and isn't related to the outages 😡

  • brownhill76 Neil Brownhill (@brownhill76) reported

    @virginmedia Just got through to someone at your customer service who was absolutely disgusting and rude , wouldn’t help an cut me off . Take this message as my notice 👍 cheers

  • PhotoExpozure Andrew Jones (@PhotoExpozure) reported

    @virginmedia Absolutely disgusted with the service on WhatsApp. Just going around in circles with the whole conversation. I have already registered my interest and yet was told an engineer would need to visit. No date give. But then was told the services are not in the area.

  • jonduffie84 Jon Duffield (@jonduffie84) reported

    @virginmedia I plan to speak with someone tonight as I will be contact my back to stop the payment. I'm sure if I don't pay u will be able to talk to me then for a resolution

  • Emma97745369 Emma (@Emma97745369) reported

    @virginmedia @MartinSLewis Have been without TV and internet for 5 days. 6th notice now, this time to be fixed by tomorrow. CS advice is to wait AGAIN! Told I have to wait a month to cancel penalty free 🤬

  • Simo_Morris Simon Morris (@Simo_Morris) reported

    @virginmedia Yes I believe so, I haven't noticed this issue on any other channel

  • arhod99 arianit_hod1 (@arhod99) reported

    @virginmedia The link was updated and said there was no issue with our broadband, but I have tried for the past 30 minutes and we still have no internet.

  • wjanderson91 Will Anderson (@wjanderson91) reported

    @virginmedia John, Can you please find a way to contact me directly as I don’t have enough characters in a tweet to explain the ways in which we have been let down by @virginmedia

  • RodolfoZorrilla Rodolfo Zorrilla (@RodolfoZorrilla) reported

    @virginmedia useless customer service staff, requested return box 3 times to collect the old crappy superhub and never came, charged me £40 pounds for that. Imagine how many customers getting charge for your own mistakes.
