    @virginmedia Actually that’s wrong, I received an email to advise that the complaint had been resolved and had to respond saying it hasn’t. What hope is there when you can’t even get a complaint right?

    @AmandaSeager @virginmedia Same in Central London, my Company uses Virgin and we have had issues all day long

    Gerry (@guinnessaddick) reported from Dartford, England

    @thorogodies @Missbwattie @virginmedia We don’t have many problems with ours, surprised you do, as you’re only round the corner, must be a box problem.

    @virginmedia Phoned, and as expected; they can't just "put this right". The equipment and service are working fine. That the dish is broken and there is little slack to enable me to bury the cable deeper is due to local engineers. Will just have to dig trench, break cable and wait again!

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia we have had no Internet or TV since yesterday afternoon/evening. Service checker seems down and unable to log into my virgin media as just spins or says unavailable SM1 1RB please advise.

    Sharon Hills 💗 (@Gertie58) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia We have broadband but no WiFi. Rang customer services on Thursday lunchtime to be told that although nothing shows up in the service checker it' known fault and should be back today, now it's almost two days without WiFi, just want update from someone who knows what's happening

    @virginmedia I contacted customer services for an update on my iPhone 14 Pro Max. I was informed by your Twitter account I wouldn’t need to send my current phone back until I receive my new one. I was then informed by the gentleman on the phone my new phone won’t be sent until I send this

  • tonyps1977
    Tony Patis-Stannard (@tonyps1977) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia your service is shocking and spent 40mins on the phone to be told you can’t connect my call and to try again, you have my contact details get in touch with me as I want to speak to someone about the service I’m not getting…

  • feyipuk
    Phil (@feyipuk) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia That's my issue; in terms of service, it is resolved. Thr cable was previously buried (all be it not that deep), & I would have liked it to be again. My suggestion was leave slack so I could bury it. That message wasn't passed on to the 3rd party engineer. What would you advise?

  • 1CreativeRay
    Dr Stower and the Stock Market of Madness 🦍 (@1CreativeRay) reported from Wainscott, England

    @virginmedia Terrible service from you these last two weeks! I have spent more than 4hrs on the phone to Asian based O2, and Virgin call centres who never help or process things. Also Capita in South Africa… Why do you use foreign call centres if they cannot do the job!!

    @virginmedia Sort it out Virgin IT’S NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!!!!! Can’t even log on to get service updates 😡😡😡

    DragonFish 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇮🇹 (@discobabe76) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia 9/ speak but he kept interrupting me. He had no help for me for having no internet for 6 days. He kept sighing and refused to put me through to anyone who could offer anymore help.

  • katie_2521
    Katie Williams (@katie_2521) reported from Wickford, England

    @virginmedia I had already look at this page previously. And when we have issues there is no indication on what it could be, I. E the *********** light is in as if its connected

  • discobabe76
    DragonFish 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇮🇹 (@discobabe76) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia 11/ I've never been 6 days without internet and help was much more available in the past with virgin. Now, customers are being left high and dry.

  • NoddyMaccy
    ✖️𝔻𝕖𝕒𝕟 𝕄𝕔𝔽𝕒𝕣𝕝𝕒𝕟𝕖✖️ (@NoddyMaccy) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia My phone is now over two weeks late, which isn’t an issue, I understand waiting for one to become available to send but to suggest I send this phone back and go without a phone until one eventually gets sent to me is just ridiculous. I’m not gonna pay my bills with no phone…

  • RERomain

    @virginmedia It has been almost 30 years since he was a new customer... 🙃

    @virginmedia Thankyou. The site still won't let me check status.. reported this.. says your site down. I've now spoken to someone as I need Internet for work. Someone coming out on Saturday!

  • mizznansea
    Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported from Aveley, England

    @virginmedia I've been having problems with my phoneline and it is currently dead. An engineer came on Friday but its still not working. Charges have also been appearing on my phone bill for calls I have not made. This has happened twice since November.

  • macon1375
    Mark Connolly (@macon1375) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia @virginmedia can have no rival to the worst customer service out there! Said resolved an issue after held for over an hour only to find it’s not and I now can’t get back in touch. 2nd day work ruined

    @Strudlehoffer @JFab208 @virginmedia I really do feel your pain. Are there any companies out there that even pretend to offer acceptable customer service?

  • Gram7070707070
    Gram (@Gram7070707070) reported

    @Carolestfc1 @virginmedia Worst company I have ever dealt with and it's not even close. They'll screw your credit rating by mistake and never, ever fix it. They'll hang up on you, the staff don't put notes on accounts and you have to tell the same story to 20 different disinterested call centre staff.

    @danielarf21 I’m with you on Virgin Media not showing it anymore, really disappointing tbh as there was a fanbase for it. But willing to give this series a go, the trailer isn’t the worst. People saying it’s “Ai Slop” need to chill, unfortunately it’s gonna be the norm for a lot of shows
