• 
  Dr Andrew Fleming 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Andrew007Uk) reported 2 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia I performed the reset, it still does not recognise the code. Very disappointed. On Wednesday I wasted 3 hours on the phone talking to 13 of your people one of whom brazenly told me to fix all issues I must buy an upgrade. I am sorry to say the whole experience is abysmal 💔

  Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported 3 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  @virginmedia I’ve spent over 2 hours on the phone and I lost count of people I’ve spoken to when I got to 12. That’s just today and this has gone on for weeks. Pretty sure you would’ve lost me as a very longstanding customer by the time 28 days is up.

  Q. What kind of moronic company thinks it enhances customer service by only allowing communication via WhatsApp on a phone? A. @virginmedia! @SkyUK here I come !

  Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported 15 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  . @virginmedia down yet again? Not able to watch On Demand and error messages. Plus their website is down. 🙄

  Lewis Allen ⚒ (@_Lewis_A) reported 17 minutes ago from Romford, England

  So @virginmedia want £288 to cancel a contract I've had since 2018. Can I get through to anyone to speak about it? NO!!

• 
  Dr Andrew Fleming 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Andrew007Uk) reported 18 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  After a mammoth session on the phone to 6 of your departments to arrange interim broadband given your service failed in Nov. & won't be fixed to March I spoke to a helpful chap called David in the Customer Care Dept before I was cut off. Can you help reconnect me @virginmedia 🙏🏻

  @virginmedia It's okay I've taken it up with CEDR now and let them resolve it, I'm just highlighting to people how difficult it is to cancel contracts and the fact that VM consistently "loose" letters

  Ben Rogers (@eviemae239) reported 24 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia wi-fi down yet again for about the 5th time this week. Constantly going down over last few weeks as well, absolute shambles.

  Jay Bourley (@drummerJ83) reported 29 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia Hi. Have no wifi (green light) and despite rebooting several times have a had no luck. This has happened after following your instruction to reboot for ‘faster speed’. Please advise asap - no issues in the area according to your website.

  Simon Norris (@sinozza) reported 32 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  @virginmedia I spent over an hour on the phone yesterday trying to get through to a customer service rep only to get cut off. Still waiting to hear on WhatsApp and been on hold this afternoon 45 mins and still holding???? Whats going on??

• 
  Going for Gold (@Gold_Accounting) reported 33 minutes ago from South Ockendon, England

  @BBCNews please help. @virginmedia refusing to make an 87 year old with a heart condition who needs her telephone 24/7 for her emergency button a priority. Not sending an engineer for ANOTHER 6 DAYS.

• 
  Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported 34 minutes ago from Aveley, England

  @TracyWoodley4 @virginmedia @Virgin Their service has certainly gone down hill and this issue with the call centre is a complete farce. If they can't even get their own internal systems sorted as a telecomms company what hope do we have? My contract is up in March and I will defo be leaving Virgin.

  Phil (@feyipuk) reported 36 minutes ago from Crayford, England

  @virginmedia Think it's more to do with the upgrade work then; when I select Help from the Help & Settings menu, the screen goes blank. I'm thinking it needs a network connection to work. Any plans for a Hub with built in 02 sim to increase connectivity? Currently hot spotting my phone.

• 
  Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported 40 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  @virginmedia You’ve now sent me the same unhelpful link about compensation 3 times. This will only compensate me if I have no service, and as I have a service (albeit 3mbps) this, as I’ve repeated several times, doesn’t help me. Another example of poor customer service

• 
  Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported 40 minutes ago 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.

  Richard Noble (@Richard09499442) reported 44 minutes ago from South Ockendon, England

  @virginmedia my wifi is terrible, how do i go about getting some boosters so that my signal is as strong as you promise? I can't access the app (thats another unresolved problem!) Also how do i go about receiving the £100 credit that you also promise? Thank you.

  @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

• 
  LES ⚒ (@PL13Les) reported 49 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  What is going on with the horrific intermittent WIFI connection in SM5 for the past week. Website says there is a problem BUT have to wait til Friday for an engineer. Abysmal performance @virginmedia

• 
  Pippa Crowther (@getpipfit) reported 54 minutes ago 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.

  Dr Stower and the Stock Market of Madness 🦍 (@1CreativeRay) reported 54 minutes ago 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!!

  Andy Cave (@Andycave) reported 5 minutes ago

  @virginmedia @virginmedia And how am I supposed to check that link with my Internet still down?

• 
  Gary Hurdman LRPS (@ghotographyuk) reported 5 minutes ago

  The worst customer experience in trying to get help when their expensive service isn't working is @virginmedia. A black hole of "linking acounts" and recursive questions that ulitmately fail, just to try and report an issue. Do not make the mistake of becoming their customer

• 
  Misbah (مصباح) (@DocMeezbah) reported 6 minutes ago

  @youfibre Well, I have WiFi connection promising 1800 Mbps. Why would I check WiFi speed on Ethernet wire? Last time I checked with @virginmedia it was almost 1Gbps for the promise of the same! #Service is simply not as promised!

• 
  Khal (@khal_lfc) reported 7 minutes ago

  @Bev2810 @virginmedia I moved to YouFibre as @virginmedia was just too expensive and the service has been appalling over the last year

• 
  maxine wilson 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 (@maxinewilson121) reported 8 minutes ago

  I have changed Internet yesterday as I was out of contract with virgin media and they wanted 95 a month, I have switched to @youfibre and I am thrilled to bits with it and now even get signal in my garden.
