  • maharrison Mark Harrison (@maharrison) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia I have continually tried to call, your wait times are really unacceptable, anyway I have also opted for the text service, however no text received. I am losing faith I’ve been waiting since August for some kind of contact from you. Any other options?

  • Kimlovett Kim Baker was Lovett (@Kimlovett) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia what’s happened to your customer services? I have stayed with you for years now need your help, can’t log into my account need your help and holding forever on the phone ....

    Why is it when @virginmedia have a fault my v6+ breaks down and I have now lost all my 64% of recording that I can not get back are you going to compensate me.

  • juliecason ✨💎Jules💎✨ (@juliecason) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia both boxes saying error S101. No WiFi. Rubbish service. Thankfully out of contract so will be looking elsewhere. RM3 area.

  • gorgeousuk A҈n҈n҈a҈b҈e҈l҈l҈e҈ H҈i҈l҈l҈ (@gorgeousuk) reported from London, England

    Virgin media down again. My husband is trying to work from home, I was trying to do some work before I go to work. No television either - rubbish service. #virginmedia

  • saschlike Captain Morgan-Evans (@saschlike) reported from London, England

    Who needs a man when Virgin Media goes down on me everyday

  • Jay_Hul J (@Jay_Hul) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia I have to say I’m completely done with your service. I have 6 months left, but I’ve had to purchase a BT package in order to WFH. The constant up/down of your network since lockdown has become a joke and I just want rid. #virginmediadown

  • RobTThreadgold Rob Threadgold (@RobTThreadgold) reported from Brentwood, England

    @splursty @virginmedia It’s country wide I would hang up if I were you!

  • maharrison Mark Harrison (@maharrison) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia I have continually tried to call, your wait times are really unacceptable, anyway I have also opted for the text service, however no text received. I am losing faith I’ve been waiting since August for some kind of contact from you. Any other options?

  • Karen_1979 Karen (@Karen_1979) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia Customer service is rubbish not even a message back after my last complaint on here because you wanted all my security details cos that's safe giving them to you. Once again the box broke when you were having problems and I lost all my programs some I cant ever get back.

  • MidkentTravel MidKent Travel (@MidkentTravel) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia Can you please private message me, I have a log on issue.

  • JamieMeecham Jamie Meecham🏳️‍🌈♥️ (@JamieMeecham) reported from Canvey Island, England

    @virginmedia care to explain why a member of staff felt that hanging up on a customer complaining about their broadband is acceptable? And now I’m stuck on hold AGAIN to solve my issue.

  • Jay_Hul J (@Jay_Hul) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia Tbh it’s been ongoing since we locked down in April. I accepted things might be a struggle but as time has passed colleagues and friends are not struggling with day to day connection or having constant lapses in connections. Having spoke to CCare nothing can be done.

  • TheSugg David Sugg (@TheSugg) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia hi I’ve received a written response to a complaint from VM but with no way to reply other than the usual customer service number which doesn’t offer an option for this. Can you supply another telephone number or physical address to reply to?

  • roberttointon Robert Tointon (@roberttointon) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia I can understand the need for maintenance work to improve your service but why do it during the day when the majority of us are still working from home? At least do it late evening or early morning when no one is using it!

  • scottycav13 Scott Cavanagh (@scottycav13) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia every night this week at 7pm our internet goes down and is unusable. Can’t watch amazon or Netflix. Rebooted every system in our house and the hub every night inc hard reset...at our wits end and impossible to speak to anyone on your call centre.

  • KikassP CazkikassPhotography (@KikassP) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia thanks on behalf of all virgin media customers for not being able to pick up phones to help those who need help but have no wish to "Do it on line" we haven't received any compensation for 3 days of no net even though we have registered it everyday. PART ONE

  • davidclark1966 David Clark (@davidclark1966) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @VirginRed Hi there, it seems as though my 250 points for being a verified Virgin Media customer hasn’t been applied, could you help me?

  • tilnoom Sharon Barrett (@tilnoom) reported

    @virginmedia This afternoon I phoned your CS line to resolve multiple problems on my Dad's account. Got through to 'Simon' who genuinely was the best rep I've ever spoken to in a long time. Friendly, knew his stuff, got everything sorted pretty quick. Employ more people like him.

  • tisonlyagame Matthew B (@tisonlyagame) reported

    @virginmedia Just says there are no issues affecting my postcode. Although the actual connection and BQM show otherwise.
