  • walshChanny Channy (@walshChanny) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia That is what happened. If it didn’t happened to you it is even more strange. Do you want me to do it again and record it? In the meantime, I was contacted today and agreed a way forwards to stay with VM. It is quite hard to have to deal with bad customer care while grieving.

  • KBHeadteacher Keith Barr (@KBHeadteacher) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia any chance of connectivity @KenderSchool ... ? Any help would be welcomed, please...

  • Adrianmilesarch Adrian Miles (@Adrianmilesarch) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Service status says no known issues but when I call over the phone an automated message refers to intermittent problems last two days and that engineers are taking a long time to fix complex problems. Currently ok but recently every day there is a long period of issues.

  • Paul07852224 Paul (@Paul07852224) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia Hi, yeah done that - no issues

  • philipwallingon The Wing Commander (@philipwallingon) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia Eventually. I had to ask to talk to customer disconnections before I got a satisfactory response. Technician will call on Wednesday which in fairness is probably as quick a box in the post but with the benefit of a human touch.

  • PinkDotty_Sarah Sarah Yard (@PinkDotty_Sarah) reported from London, England

    Anyone have constant issues with @virginmedia we pay for 200Mb super fast broadband. We are in Bromley. Over the last year we have had nothing but issues and no matter how many times we make contact we get fobbed off. We are paying for a service that cannot deliver. Anyone else?

  • CheukRuby Ruby Lau (@CheukRuby) reported from London, England

    Internet is down since 1am this morning @virginmedia Reset hub but no use...... My virgin media showing no service outage in my area.......

  • JamesJWalsh James-J Walsh (@JamesJWalsh) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I have been “on hold” since 1851 for a customer service agent. This is kinda cementing my view of needing to leave.

  • chinaheart7 Karen Louise 💙💞🌈🙏 (@chinaheart7) reported from Dartford, England

    @Matthew_Wright @virginmedia Go to BT. Never had any BS from them.

  • Paul07852224 Paul (@Paul07852224) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia Hi, done the reboot and pin reboot but still dropping out drastically. The speeds I was getting to the speeds I am getting is really bad

  • PinkDotty_Sarah Sarah Yard (@PinkDotty_Sarah) reported from London, England

    I have noticed a lot of people complain about the service received from @virginmedia for broadband. @Ofcom please can you look into this? We pay for a service that has constantly let us down for many months.

  • AdiStaempfli Adi Staempfli (@AdiStaempfli) reported from London, England

    I understand it takes time to replace fibre optics. I don‘t understand why @virginmedia sends out messages that are plain wrong. My connection is not working, has not been working ever since Tuesday evening. Is this to avoid having to pay back customers?

  • amhldg A (@amhldg) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia Upgraded my broadband package to TV & Broadband yesterday morning and was told monthly payment £75. Just received a contract saying £104 per month ??? Help!?

  • Adrianmilesarch Adrian Miles (@Adrianmilesarch) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia broadband has been absolutely dire in the last few weeks. Phases of outage or sun 2mbps speeds. Anyone else experiencing similar in SE26 area? Remember it was around cold snap it got bad - maybe affected the infrastructure.

  • hannahdenise91 Hannah (@hannahdenise91) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    Moved in over a week ago and @SkyUK say it’s still going to be another 7-10 working days before we get wifi- shocking service as new customers who are now having to spend a fortune hot spotting data working from home. Calling @virginmedia today.

  • walshChanny Channy (@walshChanny) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Yes I did, a VM agent went through the whole event and resolved it for me. There are thousands of VM customers in a FaceBook group suffering similar problems it is called Virgin Media Customer Service.

  • tonywiseman1976 Tony Wiseman (@tonywiseman1976) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Don’t tell me what to do. I want this tedious issue RESOLVED!

  • PinkDotty_Sarah Sarah Yard (@PinkDotty_Sarah) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Thank you but we have complained and no response. We are with you because you offer 200Mb and we need that, the closest competitor offers only 60Mb. It’s frustrating that we are paying for a service that is not guaranteed

  • AndrewLorimer11 Andrew Lorimer (@AndrewLorimer11) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia third consecutive evening with broadband outage SM6 #NotGoodEnough

  • Tinalc69 Tina Clark (@Tinalc69) reported from London, England

    Not very good @virginmedia complaint C-2901212518 emailed to say they tried to call. No they haven’t. No incoming calls registered and nothing on my mobile! Didn’t even remotely address the complaint in the email. Please call me!
