  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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!

  • 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.?

  • 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

  • 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

  • MrGarySmith Gary Brian Smith (@MrGarySmith) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia No, no, no. Just got an official letter saying I can leave without notice, so for a long standing customer (about 10yrs?) to be told that without any kind of solution, alternatives no offer of a refund, then to see an advert saying you can offer double I’m getting in my area? WTF

  • citigirly lisa sibley (@citigirly) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia hi have had no internet since this afternoon, a fault ref did come up but just received text to say fixed but still no internet ref Fault Ref: F008694497 can you help? I have tried re booting

  • 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 😞😞

  • 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!

  • MrGarySmith Gary Brian Smith (@MrGarySmith) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia Yes I can leave without notice no mention of a refund for the service I paid for I didn’t receive...

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

    @virginmedia Do you know your phone lines are down ?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • MrGarySmith Gary Brian Smith (@MrGarySmith) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia All seems slow for a 500mb services you did a 30 day test and sent me a letter and you agreed it was not up to speed. All WiFi is slow even with the new router. I read online a lot of people saying your router are not good compared to others I have a apple time machine I can use?

  • 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 🙄😕😔

  • citigirly lisa sibley (@citigirly) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Ok so says issue now fixed could tell they were working on it as lost tv and then internet came back for 5 mins, but now no internet again? So issue not fixed can you contact the engineer working on it to say not fixed ASAP please

  • 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.
