    @adhawkinsgh @virginmedia Nor me. It is still bad though. And also as you say latency and dropouts.

    @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..

    @virginmedia @adhawkinsgh I'll be going same way in September too. VM too pricey and too outage prone. Also poor modem/router.

    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

    Another afternoon on to @virginmedia with absolutely no body willing to help. The customer service is as appalling as the service they provide. The sooner I can get back to @skytv the better #virginbroadband #virginmedia #con #ripoff

    @virginmedia This was the message at 3.30 I will not be at my desk in a few minutes, do not worry I will pick this up once I am back at my desk, appreciate your patience. At 7.30 say wow long break. And you reply with the standard due to c19 blah blah then back to square one stupid questions

  • gavJball

    @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

    @pm1972 @virginmedia I feel your pain so far I’ve waited 3 days just to reset a password to read my mobile bill which I’m being charged for and not having any signal to text or call.😡🤬🤯

  • thebooooooth
    Mark Booth (@thebooooooth) reported from Basildon, England

    So @virginmedia lie to you and then don't respond to you or follow up your phone request to make a complaint. Why did i ever leave Sky! The service has been shocking, wouldn't recommend Virgin to anyone

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

    @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

    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.

    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

    Billy Chatfield (@BillyChatfield) reported

    @virginmedia I was due to get a call back on Tuesday and didn't, so i rang back myself and was told the sales team will call me back within 72hrs... still nothing. Are you purposely wanting customers to leave and find another provider, or just really poor customer services?! 🤔

  • strutcakes
    Chris 🏳️‍🌈 (@strutcakes) reported

    @virginmedia @xcsuhayla This is NOT ACCEPTABLE. You can’t get through to anyone over the phone and your “fix estimates” change every couple of hours. Why can’t you provide accurate information? It’s beyond a joke how awful you’ve been for the past 48 hours.

  • SammyChess
    Samuel Chesson (@SammyChess) reported

    @virginmedia @willjennings80 As @willjennings80 mentioned the service has been down since 11am yesterday. It is now saying it will be fixed at 10am tomorrow, but that doesn't inspire much confidence as we have already had 4 or 5 different fix times already. Is there any possibility of more information?

  • eamonn72
    Eamonn Moran (@eamonn72) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, it’s my Mobile Data that’s really slow, it’s been over a week! The agent I spoke to got me to do a network refresh. When will it be back up to speed?

    @virginmedia what's the status of the issue in SW2 issue is FO08869366 I've been out of action for more than 24 hours. I need more transparency please. #OutageUpdate

    Samuel Lynam (@soundiesam) reported

    @virginmedia how has my internet now been down 2 days and you haven’t contacted me with a reason and your get updates function isn’t working. How can it possibly take 2 days to fix an issue. Your customer service is terrible.

  • jetset82
    Dale (@jetset82) reported

    @virginmedia We have told each team the series of events and how their work last month resulted in our outage, yet it has taken them them 3 weeks to feed a new cable. Shame another team has to physically connect it to the property, which has so far taken another 3 days...
