  • tonyps1977 Tony Patis-Stannard (@tonyps1977) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia your service is shocking and spent 40mins on the phone to be told you can’t connect my call and to try again, you have my contact details get in touch with me as I want to speak to someone about the service I’m not getting…

  • ChristineAllado Christine Allado (@ChristineAllado) reported from London, England

    .@virginmedia hi virgin, we've not had internet all day and absolutely need it for work. Can you give an update for why this is our network status?

  • HunteLucy Lucy Hunte (@HunteLucy) reported from London, England

    @themotablogger @virginmedia Terrible in Dagenham too! At least 3 times a day it drops out and normally in the middle of an important meeting! Not good enough!!

  • ferrari1fer86 Alan Ferrari (@ferrari1fer86) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia is there an explanation of the intermittent evening issues affecting RM11 1DN for the last few weeks?

  • LockeyJordan jordan lockey (@LockeyJordan) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia Your customer service is the worst I have seen

  • katie_2521 Katie Williams (@katie_2521) reported from Wickford, England

    @virginmedia I had already look at this page previously. And when we have issues there is no indication on what it could be, I. E the *********** light is in as if its connected

  • MisterLeeDaniel Mr Lee Daniel (@MisterLeeDaniel) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Stop calling me then hanging up. That’s rude.

  • PL13Les LES ⚒ (@PL13Les) reported 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

  • feyipuk Phil (@feyipuk) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia That's my issue; in terms of service, it is resolved. Thr cable was previously buried (all be it not that deep), & I would have liked it to be again. My suggestion was leave slack so I could bury it. That message wasn't passed on to the 3rd party engineer. What would you advise?

  • KatiePurkiss Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    Virgin Media broadband down AGAIN. Service Status website & app don’t work as no internet connection 🤨 @virginmedia

  • LockeyJordan jordan lockey (@LockeyJordan) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia I am not paying the bill until you fix your ****** internet plus your trying to scam us by raising our bill to £225 even though it's supposed to be £130 and we have never missed a payment

  • RobertSSmith66 Robert Smith (@RobertSSmith66) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    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 !

  • elthampalacegay royal 🌈 (@elthampalacegay) reported from London, England

    Or #virginmedia wiping the Wi-Fi network name every other month on the 2G and 5G saaaaaaaaaake

  • seiferxin1 seiferxin (@seiferxin1) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia really let down by Virgin media. I'm on M200 and am getting 50M at the mo. As low as 0.18M around 7pm and 10M around 8pm. Your customer service chat hasn't responded in 3hrs. I've reset router and changed channels. It's been patchy all week What am I paying for?

  • RERomain Rachel Romain (@RERomain) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia It has been almost 30 years since he was a new customer... 🙃

  • DianaAlexS DianaS (@DianaAlexS) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia ** PLEASE NOTE ** We don't have human agents supporting troubleshooting / technical issues over our Messaging Platform. If you wish to speak to someone please contact one of the Team on 150 from your Virgin Media Landline or 0345 454 1111 Well that was "helfpul"

  • J4Y_DEE Justin 🇺🇦 (@J4Y_DEE) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia @VMHelpDesk Broadband down in my area, this is frustrating. Reckon it’ll be fixed by 9. No tv & Broadband during the school holidays

  • feyipuk Phil (@feyipuk) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia Phoned, and as expected; they can't just "put this right". The equipment and service are working fine. That the dish is broken and there is little slack to enable me to bury the cable deeper is due to local engineers. Will just have to dig trench, break cable and wait again!

  • katie_2521 Katie Williams (@katie_2521) reported from Wickford, England

    @virginmedia been struggling for days with home WiFi. Tried to contact you guys but cant find a number Please help

  • ChristineAllado Christine Allado (@ChristineAllado) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Looks like there are issues that need to be resolved hopefully by tomorrow.. Is this something that might be fixed sooner and am I able to seek compensation?

  • kirsty_ames Kirsty Ames (@kirsty_ames) reported

    @virginmedia just tried to call your help service and it says it’s closed, even though your website says it closes at 8? Ive got no WiFi and now can’t fix it till tomorrow?

  • memery22 Michelle Emery (@memery22) reported

  • Russell95402372 Russell Lewis (@Russell95402372) reported

  • nriccati nriccati (@nriccati) reported

    @virginmedia Virgin media absolutely useless fixing any internet issues. Went through long authentication process on you customer service line to hear: We are closed. What’s the point of this? 0 support impossible to contact anyone

  • SimplyMeOx Abii Green (@SimplyMeOx) reported

    @virginmedia see your customer services are still as bad as ever. How you allow advisor to talk to people the way they do. After speaking with the rude and patronising Navaneeth, this is the final nail in the coffin to ensure I never use virgin media ever again.

  • CptSam7 Cpt Sam (@CptSam7) reported

    @virginmedia having major problems. Whats going on guys??

  • JamieIrvine5 Jamie Irvine (@JamieIrvine5) reported

    @virginmedia customer service is shocking 🤬. I asked to raise a complaint and the advisor refused 🤬 I asked to speak to a manger he said there are no managers available 🤬 he said a manager would call me back but no one did 🤬. This is not acceptable @Ofcom @libertyglobal

  • VulpixLux Lux 💙☺️ (@VulpixLux) reported

    @acar321 @virginmedia Boooo. Catch up tv really needs to step its game up. All 4 is decent but buggy as all ****

  • Shaun_Htfc Shaun Armstrong (@Shaun_Htfc) reported

    @virginmedia I've just bought the boxing on box office for £20.95 and I'm just getting a black screen please help

  • garycross Gary Cross (@garycross) reported from Corby, England

    @virginmedia why advertise your call centre being open til 8PM if you're hanging up on me at 19:10? Having issues with my TV and your online tools aren't doing anything.
