  • Tazul2015 Tazul Islam (@Tazul2015) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia in the 10 years I have been with virgin media, this is the first time my internet has gone down. Sometimes things do go wrong but it’s how you deal with it that matters. Well done to your engineers for restoring the service quickly!!

  • gorgeousuk anne hill (@gorgeousuk) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia When you are using your data in your own house so often, have Netflix, Now and Amazon Prime you pay for that you can’t even use when Broadband are down, you have to ask, what the HELL am I doing with a company that can’t provide a basic bloody service.

  • sharonblaxland Sharon (@sharonblaxland) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia why oh why do you keep sending me paper bills AND charging me for them, I have never asked for a paper bill and have phone to cancel them twice 😡🤬 and this morning what do I get 😡😡😡

  • daphnemotivates Daphne Clifton (@daphnemotivates) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Your chat help was absolutely no help at all. Unable to answer a simple question. I’ll have to queue for hours to speak to someone, who I hope can make sense. Can’t wait to leave @virginmedia #trapped

  • sharonblaxland Sharon (@sharonblaxland) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia has gone down, no internet and only a few obscure tv channels.... that I’m watching, so I can keep watching telly 😳

  • Malcy7 Malcolm Saunders (@Malcy7) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia My picture better be ok for tomorrow night, been awful all week on the bt sport channel!!!

  • karl_holden Karl Holden (@karl_holden) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia the service is deteriorating. Time to review your performance and reveal the source of your problems before your customer base starts to become even more disenchanted.

  • KudaLudaLegend1 Kuda Madzikanda (@KudaLudaLegend1) reported from Gravesend, England

    Seriously getting towards 24hr broadband outage..Can someone tell me if I can cancel my contract as technically @virginmedia have not met their contractual obligation🤔

  • gorgeousuk anne hill (@gorgeousuk) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia The deeper check did not work because the internet is down and therefore the check did not work......it’s just so pathetic really

  • lawrie774 Law (@lawrie774) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @vmbusinesshelp @virginmedia another day and still no business phone lines now into day six, figures are down and angry emails from existing customer as they can't get through on the phone. Looking forward to getting the standard "sorry to hear" tweet which leads to nothing.

  • marcsnappy Marc Corn (@marcsnappy) reported from Basildon, England

    @Shadow_Official @virginmedia This issue I found happened more on wifi, I had to put in a secondary switch and run everything via Ethernet.

  • nickihendrix4 nickihendrix (@nickihendrix4) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia what the actual **** is wrong with you people if it was phone bill you guys would have deducted all long time ago but y’all don’t want me to make calls and y’all decided not to warn us either. I swear to God I’m not paying my bill this month periodt

  • bexhoops Wayne Sumner (@bexhoops) reported from Crayford, England

    @rajeevdatta @RuislipR @virginmedia My problem is...I live right at the furthest point from the bt exchange so by the Time it gets to me it’s as slow as hell..that’s why I went virgin...expensive

  • gorgeousuk anne hill (@gorgeousuk) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia That would imply that I had faith in your services & belief that you cared about your customers. I know from the past that this is not the case. I have already checked and this problem is supposed to be fixed by 3pm, it has been ongoing since 8am. It really is tedious and boring

  • DebzGlover Debz Glover😜 (@DebzGlover) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia Hi, no service issues in my area according to your website

  • LawroGardiner Lawrence Gardiner ➡️ (@LawroGardiner) reported from Basildon, England

    @Dianemiddleto @tankhead666 @virginmedia Thanks. I got the text hours after talking to Virgin Media on the phone to activate my hub after a house move. Never had it before. Something not right in their call centres.

  • gorgeousuk anne hill (@gorgeousuk) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Or maybe that’s wishful thinking. Anyway. We will be considering our options over the weekend and I don’t think we will be staying with VM. Bad service is too regular now

  • WUFC2005 Football 4 All (@WUFC2005) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia nothing but issues. 2G & 5G always stops working. Updates happens when ever it feels like. And every time I contact Virgin, it's like talking to a 6 year old.

  • Pegaso650 Jon Lovett (@Pegaso650) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia I’ve going through this process since 20th March! I’m unable to talk on the phone easily due to a brain injury. I’m still waiting for a response from the resolution team!!

  • jcarphotography Jason Carlin (@jcarphotography) reported from Romford, England

    @philsteer64 @virginmedia Ditto. Exact same issue

  • mattwhitby Matt Whitby (@mattwhitby) reported

    When your @virginmedia television hasn't been working for a fortnight but you watch YouTube because you can't face an hour on hold sitting listening to bad looped music.

  • robmorleyuk Robert Morley (@robmorleyuk) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for investigating. Seems strange they would close the 'complaint' but issue two letters promising they would call me. And then of course, not do it.

  • 1982Starscream Starscream (@1982Starscream) reported

    @virginmedia Made complaints as I can't get through on the phone about poor internet speeds. They were closed off without trying to contact me and I cannot get through to talk to anyone. That's not good customer service. Looks like complaints auto close once the deadline passes to me.

  • Anna_L_Morris15 Anna Morris (@Anna_L_Morris15) reported

    @virginmedia This afternoon, was advised there was nothing more they could do and refused any further help.

  • PaniczBejbe Panicz Bejbe (@PaniczBejbe) reported

    @virginmedia So if I don't have a guaranteed speed and the connection is unstable, I have to pay the full monthly amount?

  • ajpockley Alan John Pockley (@ajpockley) reported

    @virginmedia I was told there was a fault in the South Shields area, but the website shows no issues whatsoever in this area.

  • Anna_L_Morris15 Anna Morris (@Anna_L_Morris15) reported

    @virginmedia Thank you, I have submitted the complaint now. Hopefully it doesn’t take long for a response.

  • richiemorton01 Richie Morton (@richiemorton01) reported

    @virginmedia Called your tech help as my hub can't be used as a modem (it goes straight to overheat) and the coverage when it's on router is very poor. Your tech guys just said "just use it in router then". So my hub is faulty and you won't change it and I'm paying 64 a month for crap service

  • Anna_L_Morris15 Anna Morris (@Anna_L_Morris15) reported

    @virginmedia I asked for a complaint to be raised 2 weeks ago and it wasn’t done. I asked today and the advisor said there was no complaint needed as he tried to resolve the issue. Which of course wasn’t resolved.

  • jctawse Jennifer (@jctawse) reported

    @virginmedia so during cold call tonight about our renewal. We explain that we having issues with internet signal. Need new router. One of our tv boxes is causing pixelation..... we get HUNG UP on. Great customer service here. Think we off to sky!
