  • PinkDotty_Sarah Sarah Yard (@PinkDotty_Sarah) reported from London, England

    Anyone have constant issues with @virginmedia we pay for 200Mb super fast broadband. We are in Bromley. Over the last year we have had nothing but issues and no matter how many times we make contact we get fobbed off. We are paying for a service that cannot deliver. Anyone else?

  • revjdouglas Johnny Douglas (@revjdouglas) reported from Hextable, England

    @virginmedia Strangely nobody wants to send out an engineer & offer simple practical help... CEO team contacted over a week ago too...

  • amhldg A (@amhldg) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia Upgraded my broadband package to TV & Broadband yesterday morning and was told monthly payment £75. Just received a contract saying £104 per month ??? Help!?

  • Paul07852224 Paul (@Paul07852224) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia Hi, yeah done that - no issues

  • Paul_Ilett Paul Ilett, Author (@Paul_Ilett) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @fingers_terry @virginmedia I hope so. I’d hate to have to cancel my subscription.

  • whealie Chris Wheal (@whealie) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Have you ever not been too busy? You have the worst customer service known to man. Every comedian compares bad customer service to you. You are the benchmark for bad. I have been trying to get in touch for five hours now. Chat, phone, Twitter and SMS.

  • Paul07852224 Paul (@Paul07852224) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia Hi, done the reboot and pin reboot but still dropping out drastically. The speeds I was getting to the speeds I am getting is really bad

  • CMS200 Chris S (@CMS200) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Not very helpful. If your company can’t fix the issue, why would the community be able to? Spent another hour on the phone again today, again being told I will get a call back in 45 mins. It didn’t happen. Still no email!

  • Grahamthecabbie Graham Long (@Grahamthecabbie) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia no wifi, no television, no landline. Again! Your service is dreadful! Won’t be using you again when the contract is finished!

  • matthewcarter7 Matthew Carter (@matthewcarter7) reported from London, England

    @TobySutton17 @SophieEB @virginmedia They are terrible! Loads of people see the high speed and go for it (like I did!) but the reality is very different. Avoid. 👍🏻

    Having real problems with our broadband dropping out regularly @virginmedia. Any known issues in the SS8 area?

  • 303marty Martin Donovan ⚒⚒ 🇬🇧🇬🇧 (@303marty) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia Great products Virgin ..I love all of them...But that call centre in the Philippines is disgraceful and lets the entire company down...The one in Wales was very good

  • mrjimbecks James Beckley (@mrjimbecks) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    Not sure how I get turned down for an awesome @virginmedia mobile/iPad bundle offer due to not meeting the criteria when I got approved for A- buying a house B- Virgin Media big bundle for tv, broadband & phone ... And my credit score is only 20 points off the maximum score...

  • CridlandKeith Keith (@CridlandKeith) reported from Romford, England

  • MarcoSantiago_1 Mark Bradford (@MarcoSantiago_1) reported

    @virginmedia I called the number you suggested and apparently there is a fault that is “complex to resolve” in the area. There was no ETA given. The service status needs to be correctly reflected on the web link. Can you also advise when this matter will be resolved? This is very very poor

  • NeilSmythe Neil Smythe (@NeilSmythe) reported

    @RichBeck4 @virginmedia Can’t remember but it’s fast. We don’t normally have a problem but the last week has been almost unworkable.

  • grumppot GrumpPot 😷 (@grumppot) reported

    @virginmedia No response on the forum... Can I also just say that I absolutely object to you forcing me to go on a public forum to get proper support. I do not want & should not have to create a public profile in order to get proper answers from Virgin Media to my support issues. It stinks.

  • ramseyhugh Hugh Ramsey (@ramseyhugh) reported

    @virginmedia It’s the Wi-fi signal. Only way my son could get his computer connected was Ethernet from booster. Other rooms pathetic. My big complaint other than this is your teeeible customer service. Take my money and don’t care.

  • jonofrogggg jonofrogg (@jonofrogggg) reported

    anyone experiencing f****ng awful internet, where my virgin media guys at

  • floellison Flo Ambrose (@floellison) reported

    @virginmedia Yes. It will be much quicker to speak to someone as there are multiple issues! Incorrect email addresses, delays to install, refusal to guarantee broadband or acknowledge the issue and finally cutting through my phone line!

  • TonyG28511850 TonyG (@TonyG28511850) reported

    @virginmedia Been trying to get somebody to help re an installation for 24 hours, hours of queing on phones and chat, and just got cut off by an agent after an hour waiting! How do i get a manager to call me?

  • paul_tomes Paul Tomes (@paul_tomes) reported

    @virginmedia OK. Let's hope that's better than the other 3 channels I've tried many times. I have sent a message and will track how long it takes for a reply on that. Hopefully you can beat 5 hours on the chat channel and 12 hours on phone. Hasten to add for no solution.

  • chloemetzger Chloe Metzger (@chloemetzger) reported

    Wow @virginmedia are giving us shocking service! Really putting me off going with them ever again!
