  • pussinpjs1 linda holmes (@pussinpjs1) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Thanks couldn't help and I have stopped waiting. All I wanted to was change my password as I had forgotten it 🙄😕😔

  • alewis2106 Alex Lewis (@alewis2106) reported from London, England

    Does anyone know of a service worse than @virginmedia? Our home phone went down 5 weeks ago and we were promised an engineer in 10 days, yet still no one has come. I have tried ringing the customer help number a number of times but after about 1 hour 15 mins it rings off. Help!

  • MFC_Steve Steve (@MFC_Steve) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia Hi - I am trying to get into contact with you but the phone line is dead and you are not answering the message service. How can I speak to someone ?

  • alewis2106 Alex Lewis (@alewis2106) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Engineer booked for Tuesday. I spoke to Ezra on your team who was brilliant in fairness. Very apologetic about the level of service and now looks like we need planning permission to dig up the road to fix the cable.🥴 Thanks for your responses and happy new year!

  • goonergeek2000 Gary Thompson (@goonergeek2000) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia right I’ve just about had enough of virgin customer services. Cancelled service on 10 December. Today find out account is live after logging in. On hold four times for over 45 minutes. Latest on hold for 1hr 19 minutes. Call gets answered then cut off! What the hell

  • katiewoo26 katie lee (@katiewoo26) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia After spending 1 hour on hold, I gave up. I just want to order a booster for my broadband! Please help!

  • lonewharf Kos Skassis (@lonewharf) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia I have no broadband service, in DA7 area. Is there an issue in the area.?

  • joniread68 Jon Read (@joniread68) reported from Great Baddow, England

    @virginmedia no way of contacting you over cancelling my contract, lines are down. How do we speak to you?

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

    @Thecarmagdriver @virginmedia 1) ISP hardware is total shite (Virgin in Particular) don’t use it. It is worth what you paid for it £0. 2) Draytek router and Ruckus wifi (connected via Cat6) is what you need to distribute throughout house (a single WiFi point is never going to work)! 3) it will cost money!

  • DanielSSmith DanielSSmith FRSA (@DanielSSmith) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia multiple houses on my street are down but all being told there is no problem and must be with ourselves only. Clearly it's not. Trying to work and home school and can’t today. Se136ew

  • MFC_Steve Steve (@MFC_Steve) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia so Virgin is a media company that is uncontactable by Phone, email, Twitter and message service. Who on earth would trust them with their business if they can’t manage themselves

  • darthteddy Suren Perera (@darthteddy) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I trust you won’t be charging me for the time your service is down and even compensating me because I am unable report to work and do my job?

  • Caleb_Parker 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐛 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐫 🚀 (@Caleb_Parker) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Hey, my broadband is down. Your website says there is a known service issue. Can you advise when it’s coming back up, as I’m working from home and need access.

  • darthteddy Suren Perera (@darthteddy) reported from London, England

    So @virginmedia is down again. App says everything is fine but clearly not.

  • joniread68 Jon Read (@joniread68) reported from Great Baddow, England

    Any @virginmedia customers out there who’ve been landed a price increase - just ring them on 03454541111 and the automated service immediately offers you a £4.50 pm discount for 6 months = £27 of savings. Bit of a weird way of doing business but obvs hope many just suck it up. 👍

  • MFC_Steve Steve (@MFC_Steve) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia Do you know your phone lines are down ?

  • alewis2106 Alex Lewis (@alewis2106) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Thank you for your reply. We had a technician out over 5 weeks ago to check the landline. He told us the cable in the road was damaged and it would take 10 days to fix. That was nearly 6 weeks ago and we have heard nothing since and can’t get through to your customer services.

  • Caleb_Parker 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐛 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐫 🚀 (@Caleb_Parker) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Yes after a 5 hour outage during a key work time did me it came back up. But I’m more disappointed in the delay in customer service response time.

  • Dearnormajeane lindsay wood (@Dearnormajeane) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @kelseybytheway @virginmedia Second this so ******* hard. Diagnostics dont do **** when the issue is with the hardware itself

  • lonewharf Kos Skassis (@lonewharf) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia 2 hours of no broadband. Got text to say services back up. Its now gone offline again, but your service status says everything is fine in the area 😞😞

    @virginmedia Okay Virgin Media, 1) Stop blocking VPNs! I was specifically told by your sales rep you don't, but you do/are! I have no trouble with other sites. 2) I cannot access my account because my email address is still registered against a closed account! Please sort ASAP!!!
