    @virginmedia can confirm that there is an ongoing works in your area to improve the connection. This has started yesterday night, but we don't have an estimate time for the fix. I also have checked that there is no nearby tower to get a connection from, so we don't have to do any troubleshoo

    @virginmedia John I have sent a text as you have advised I don’t want to leave Virgin I have been a customer for many years however it’s very frustrating not being able to get a signal in my home

  • BrazilArteUK BrazilArte (@BrazilArteUK) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    I’ve been waiting in all day for a package. For them not to deliver as they couldn’t ring the door bell. @virginmedia please don’t use @YodelOnline anymore they are the worst company ever.

  • LyndaLy68271095 Lynda Lynch (@LyndaLy68271095) reported from Stone, England

    @virginmedia I only wanted a credit which has now been authorised. Shouldn’t have to ask when you know about the fault. Not good customer service you should automatically apply credit

  • gavJball Gavin Ball (@gavJball) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia I have lost internet and home phone so can’t call you as no number listed on app. Are there any problems in bexleyheath DA7. Urgent time cannot work

  • gavJball Gavin Ball (@gavJball) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia same here. On hold trying to call. Your site is not even acknowledging a problem. We have no internet or land line phone. DA7 #virginmedia

  • divadnoryb David A Byron (@divadnoryb) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia I cannot express just how disappointed I am with your service. My broadband has been dire for over a week now. Constantly dropping out, slow speeds and just not fit for purpose. First thing I’m doing is switching providers when this is all over. Never again virgin..

  • har60525753 Matt Harris (@har60525753) reported

    @virginmedia trying to call for a week on hold for over an hour every time, use your online chat it’s a bot no one comes back to me. My contract is up on the 22nd and I want to renew but I want to speak to someone first. Can you please get in touch before I cancel the DD

  • PerfectAngel_xo Danielle Willis (@PerfectAngel_xo) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve been trying to contact @virginmedia for days and had no answer / response. They are currently not honouring their contract and as per contract we are looking to leave as you are not providing us with the service we are paying for.

  • jasonali121 SRK (@jasonali121) reported

    @vmbusiness @vmbusinesshelp worst customer service ever, I have placed my order and now chasing for update, having to be on hold over 50mins at a time, and then getting disconnected. Time to cancel

  • KellyChloek Chloe Kelly (@KellyChloek) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, no there are no known issues in the area. I called your number and the line was automatically tested and the message suggested rebooting which I’ve done quite a few times today

  • Jayster209 Jamie Davies (@Jayster209) reported

    @virginmedia No one in my area is having similar issues to me. Both times it's only been affecting my address.

  • daft_titch Steven Scott (@daft_titch) reported

    @virginmedia The account hasn’t been paid since April. This makes no sense. Apparently £141.99 is overdue. The monthly cost of this service is £74. If payments hadn’t been made since April then surely more than 141.99 would be due.

  • clairiebelle Claire Russell (@clairiebelle) reported

    @virginmedia Your engineer left our house this morning without fixing our internet problem. We have been on hold for 3 hours. We need him back ASAP. Please private message me ASAP.

  • jagkhara Jag Khara (@jagkhara) reported

    @diegosanjh @virginmedia Get your own router and use virgins router in modem mode, never had an issue since

  • MaverickMark mark palmer (@MaverickMark) reported

    @virginmedia after 90 mins on hold on 2 separate phones I now have to go out. A week ago I was promised a call back in 24 hours. No call. I have put an email complaint. No reply. I’ve tweeted to you - no reply. Joke

  • TellBroJoe Joe Eccleston (@TellBroJoe) reported

    .@virginmedia FIFTH day of intermittent TV and broadband signal and now your call centre has just put the phone down on me whilst in a queue for 30 mins! AWFUL!!!
