  • 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…

  • 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

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

    Please could @virginmedia on 0330 303 5309 stop calling me, then immediately hanging up. That’s rude. I’ve now blocked your number.

  • 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

  • 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

  • nicolas_laborie Nicolas Laborie ( He/Him ) (@nicolas_laborie) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Whats is happening ?? Been put in a queue only to have the CV phone put down on me twice without even talking to an operator ? What do I need to do to speak to someone??

  • 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?

  • 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?

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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!!

  • 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?

  • 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?

  • 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

  • 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?

  • 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!

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

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

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

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

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

    @virginmedia Your customer service is the worst I have seen

  • selfdestruct anish (@selfdestruct) reported

    ive had no internet for past 4 days due to problems with the cabling outside my house and the @virginmedia engineer was the nicest man ever he even gave me a new ethernet cable since mine had broken connectors

  • PaigeNeonWolf PAIGE (@PaigeNeonWolf) reported

    @virginmedia 💀 yes of course I’ve done that both say there is an intermittent signal in the area..

  • emmadublinworld Emma Dublin (@emmadublinworld) reported

    @virginmedia No - I’m trying to teach from home on remote video software. Relying on my o2 4G connection. The whole my local area including three towns seems to be down.

  • Dan13lBurk3 Daniel Burke (@Dan13lBurk3) reported

    @virginmedia Or you could advise them for me. Seeing as you are aware of the issue and the area….

  • MetalSpotter666 gbg (@MetalSpotter666) reported

    @virginmedia hi why have I been charged a whopping 62 quid on a sim only contract that should be only 10.39 a month, any time I ran out of data I payed for a 3GB data data bundle, if it weren't for your **** Internet I wouldn't have had to, now I'm being charged twice #robbery

  • angelah00407330 Angela Howard (@angelah00407330) reported

    @virginmedia I called them, £44 a month is the best offer. A new customer can have the same for £28, but that’s the best I can have. If 17 years of being a loyal customer means nothing to you I’ll just go elsewhere.

  • philnelkin phil@nelkin.com (@philnelkin) reported

    @virginmedia Hi there. So. On my APP it says we have an issue in our area. I just want to check because our upload speed is low and I've just upgraded to 350. I wanted to check that the fault is related to a local issue and not my upgrading. Download speeds are good. Thank you.

  • RantWithJames James Bell (@RantWithJames) reported

    @virginmedia i raised a complaint with the moving team weeks ago and haven’t heard anything (2 months of failing to install because of kier/virgin’s own failures, and then giving up). What’s the story? I’m also owed a decent sum of money and compensation. Acc 695495801

    @gavreilly It took you one minute to repost the amount of positive swabs, yet it took you 3 or 4 hours to post the good news about the lowest hospital numbers since the 10th of October, you and the Virgin media news crew jump for joy at bad news and fear and it clearly shows
