  • seiferxin1 seiferxin (@seiferxin1) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia really let down by Virgin media. I'm on M200 and am getting 50M at the mo. As low as 0.18M around 7pm and 10M around 8pm. Your customer service chat hasn't responded in 3hrs. I've reset router and changed channels. It's been patchy all week What am I paying for?

  • Richard09499442 Richard Noble (@Richard09499442) reported from South Ockendon, England

    @virginmedia my wifi is terrible, how do i go about getting some boosters so that my signal is as strong as you promise? I can't access the app (thats another unresolved problem!) Also how do i go about receiving the £100 credit that you also promise? Thank you.

  • KatiePurkiss Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    Hey @virginmedia Parents new 360 box not working and engineer not available to come out til the 27th!!!! Not good enough! 😔

  • SandraS80775853 Mary (@SandraS80775853) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Brilliant get out clause @virginmedia. What you fail to realise is that when your so called service goes down for hours at a time, over the course of time amounts to so, so so much more than 48 hours!! Roll on switching of providers.

  • KatiePurkiss Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I’ve sorted the issue. But now there’s no way of cancelling the engineer! Can’t get through on phone. Appointment isn’t showing on their account, so can’t cancel there. WhatsApp is useless - been waiting for an Agent to be available since about 1pm!

  • HunteLucy Lucy Hunte (@HunteLucy) reported from London, England

    @themotablogger @virginmedia Terrible in Dagenham too! At least 3 times a day it drops out and normally in the middle of an important meeting! Not good enough!!

  • getpipfit Pippa Crowther (@getpipfit) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia how much longer will services be out in SM1 1RB.. been since last night. No TV or WiFi.Service status check says you are aware. PLEASE

  • RWheelhouse1 rachel Wheelhouse 🇺🇦 (@RWheelhouse1) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia 6 days since moving to Virgin, we are having issues, the WiFi won't reach our outside cameras. After completing the troubleshooting guides + waiting for over an hour for a chat agent + 30 mins on the phone, we still haven't spoken to a human....not impressed

  • SandraS80775853 Mary (@SandraS80775853) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia @Miss_SKM That is correct. What it does not cover is the persistent loss of service since August!!! #se7. Nor does it cover the absolute woeful customer services, and I use that phrase lightly, which @virginmedia is able to offer.

  • JanetEBaldwin Janet E Baldwin 🌸 (@JanetEBaldwin) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @_andy_pandy_ @virginmedia Outrageous 😱 I’d cancel my subscription.

  • HunteLucy Lucy Hunte (@HunteLucy) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia - workman cut through my cable, no Wi-Fi, TV or phone and earliest engineer appointment is Monday??! Completely unacceptable! I work from home and have teens! 😭Help!!!

  • starmanuk Jason Starman QBE 💙 (@starmanuk) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia No issues reported. But 7 houses locally reporting outages on local forums. This is happening frequently.

  • Richard09499442 Richard Noble (@Richard09499442) reported from South Ockendon, England

    @virginmedia I have never been able to access the app. Its says i will receive an email to verify it but never arrives. Ive contacted virgin a few times but the issue doesn't get resolved!

  • KatiePurkiss Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    Virgin Media broadband down AGAIN. Service Status website & app don’t work as no internet connection 🤨 @virginmedia

  • Liamsmith260493 Liam Smith (@Liamsmith260493) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Our Wifi has been down since yesterday can you help please

  • SandraS80775853 Mary (@SandraS80775853) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia This issue has been going on since August. Loss of power for hours on end is adding up to several days. I am currently on hold which I've been doing for 30 minutes. Shocking @Se7 residents please take note of @virginmedia

  • KatiePurkiss Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    After 20 years of being with @virginmedia and Telewest before that, I’ve finally decided to jump ship. Broadband has been horrendous for a couple of weeks and constant issues. 😔. #TimeforaChange

  • KatiePurkiss Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia They haven’t got through to anyone to cancel it yet?

  • DianaAlexS DianaS (@DianaAlexS) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia ** PLEASE NOTE ** We don't have human agents supporting troubleshooting / technical issues over our Messaging Platform. If you wish to speak to someone please contact one of the Team on 150 from your Virgin Media Landline or 0345 454 1111 Well that was "helfpul"

    @virginmedia come on, what's happening with the broadband in the #fk2 #falkirk area? And please don't point me to the lying service status page

  • OMG_its_LeanneX Leanne Ingram (@OMG_its_LeanneX) reported

    @virginmedia @DizzyCAFC CM19 5RU same issue and get the same page as @dizzyCAFC on the internet browser

  • MarcusRoberts13 Marc (@MarcusRoberts13) reported

    @virginmedia Again, that's absolutely zero help to us though is it. What "scheduled maintenance" takes 48 hours and cuts people off totally for all that time with no substitute or alternative? Completely unacceptable and we are done with Virgin Media, shambles. Day 10 of 'cooling off' period

  • mrpeacock23 Steven Peacock (@mrpeacock23) reported

    @virginmedia It says there MAY be a problem expect disruption, but my WI-FI is down my tv is down, I got a text saying you was doing service a few weeks ago and has been nothing but problems ever since not reslly what I expect being brand new customer...

  • EmZp25 EmZ (@EmZp25) reported

    @Kh3jan @virginmedia now the chat has an error message? and i can no longer reply, this is a vulnerable 86 year old lady i am trying to sort out an issue for!

  • Bostonian7119 The Bostonian (@Bostonian7119) reported

    @virginmedia I'll be sending an email to the CEO, of Virgin. @LutzSchueler, as the service has been poor.

  • gordonscontact Gordon Ashley-Smith (@gordonscontact) reported

    @virginmedia I can't believe I'm having g to go through the normal switch board again who test my router and tell me there is no problem. I have had an engineer in my house. This is such poor customer service

  • EmZp25 EmZ (@EmZp25) reported

    @virginmedia @shelton_sk @Jules24_05 Instead of running competitions, maybe reply and assist those who are trying to sort an issue that an 86 year old vulnerable person has? I was using webchat and sent a reply the agent has not replied and now the chat has an error and issue still not resolved? disgusting behavior

  • ChiBkSequels ChildrensBookSequels - Sarah Corcoran (@ChiBkSequels) reported

    @virginmedia Well when I get some internet I might be able to do the things you suggest. I am not going to use up all my mobile data when you should be providing my wifi. I will be making an official complaint.

  • DizzyCAFC David Disbray (@DizzyCAFC) reported

    @virginmedia @Scottish720 Hi. Can you advise of any problems in SE18 area. My phone line hasn’t been working properly for couple of days. Right now can’t make or receive any calls on landline
