  • 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!?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • CMS200 Chris S (@CMS200) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Not very helpful. If your company can’t fix the issue, why would the community be able to? Spent another hour on the phone again today, again being told I will get a call back in 45 mins. It didn’t happen. Still no email!

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia third consecutive evening with broadband outage SM6 #NotGoodEnough

  • 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.

  • dazzgedd73 dazz ii am (@dazzgedd73) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia great start to being a customer as second attempt to install broadband as failed as no one has turned up and the customer service on the phone is horrendous

  • pauldee74 Paul Dwyer (@pauldee74) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia a new contract then told one would be sent in 24 hours and still waiting 3 days later! been on text message for over 6 hours this week! and today just keep getting terri triage bot!!!!! any chance of some help or do I have to be a new customer!!!!

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia Hi, yeah done that - no issues

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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.

  • whealie Chris Wheal (@whealie) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Have you ever not been too busy? You have the worst customer service known to man. Every comedian compares bad customer service to you. You are the benchmark for bad. I have been trying to get in touch for five hours now. Chat, phone, Twitter and SMS.

  • 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

    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?

  • CAROL1658 funsize (@CAROL1658) reported

    @virginmedia Paying more for no internet connection every day and constant disruption to TV service.. disgusting...

  • groundhogdave just another dave (@groundhogdave) reported

    @virginmedia TBH each and every time I call you I hear "we're experiencing higher than normal call volumes..." this means you need to employ more people to answer calls. No problem in area, this is ongoing for about 4 months now.

  • Mistabates Kevin Bates (@Mistabates) reported

    @virginmedia No, the counter is now over an hour and no human conversation as yet. This is unbelievably poor, you'd agree??

  • FG7410 FG74 (@FG7410) reported

    @virginmedia It is working now. Same browser. No cleaning of cache. The system was down. It happens all too often. The worrisome part is that yoh can’t see the fault in your end. Could it be my box? (Judging for all the tweets you get, i doubt it?)

  • MichelleCadwall Michelle Cadwallader (@MichelleCadwall) reported

    @virginmedia extremely dissatisfied to the customer service received this evening absolutely digusted

  • Foshiznik Simon Chamberlain (@Foshiznik) reported

    @virginmedia Yes I have. I think it’s just a broken hub to be honest. Btw I’ve been hung up on for the 5th time and am still in a WhatsApp chat for the 22nd hour. I can’t even make a complaint because the bot keeps butting in

  • aev1609 Angelika 💙#ReclaimUKFromTories#FBPE (@aev1609) reported

    I've been a @ThreeUK customer for approx 20 years. I'm letting them know now I'm off to @O2 or @virginmedia when my contract ends. #NoRoamingCharges for me thanks.

  • Black_Hammer060 Blackhammer141 (@Black_Hammer060) reported

    @virginmedia Can you please explain how a customer service agent has just fallen asleep while answering my query? Thanks

  • NeedhamTori Tori Needham (@NeedhamTori) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, I know how you work! Had no broadband for 4 days in November and looks like here we go again. Unbelievably bad service!

  • GreenwoodUlrike Ulrike 🇩🇪🇪🇺🇬🇧 (@GreenwoodUlrike) reported
