  • danidelavega Dani (@danidelavega) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia shocking WIFI service, well, lack of, two days in a row. Sort out or I’m going back to Sky. You cannot treat customers like this. Embarrassing

    @virginmedia @J_Roobs What is going on with broadband in our area we have had little or no service for days lucky we have sky broadband as well as I would not be tweeting this message #sortitout or loss our custom

  • TheSimonC90 🏳️‍🌈🌟Simon🌟🏳️‍🌈, Esq. (@TheSimonC90) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @richstrickland @LDNPeter I usually connect to virgin media, but always have to sign in, and for some reason every time at Wanstead it says I'm not registered

  • MrGarySmith Gary Brian Smith (@MrGarySmith) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia last Friday I was on hold for 1 hr before being cut off. Tonight I’m trying again to arrange an engineer 2 come 2 my hse to sort lack of BB coverage. So far I’ve been waiting 44 mins as I’ve just upgraded I think I’ll action the cooling off period and can’t service

  • FoxSlfox sharon fox (@FoxSlfox) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia What is wrong with the broadband having no problem for days even weeks but no service at all now . Hope we will be refunded for service that not being provided

  • MrGarySmith Gary Brian Smith (@MrGarySmith) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia By the way. 150 not working

  • candylion5 Sam Hicks (@candylion5) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    Internet from @virginmedia cut out every day for the last at least 2 weeks. Customer service is abysmal. Bye.

  • NickAnstead Nick Anstead (@NickAnstead) reported from London, England

    Predictably depressing experience calling @virginmedia to cancel contract this afternoon. *On hold for several mins. * Offered £2 off contract monthly by automated answer phone message when I navigate through phone menus saying I want to leave. Say no on touchpad.

  • marvelreid83 Darren Reid (@marvelreid83) reported from Romford, England

    I start off in a good mood until I speak to @virginmedia customer services! Never understand me so never get my issues resolved! Seriously!!!! 🤬🤬

  • JamesMarsh1974 James Marsh (@JamesMarsh1974) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia You are, as ever, not admitting any service issues. Have run your tests through the site and restarted my entire home network.

  • Amanda_Davey12 Amanda Davey (@Amanda_Davey12) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia The link was broken, I have made a complaint online, you do have my phone number however, as our technology provider, someone should have called!

  • Amanda_Davey12 Amanda Davey (@Amanda_Davey12) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Unfortunately the guy just put the phone down on me and that link is not working!

  • Garrardinho Gary Lager (@Garrardinho) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Can you arrange for one of them to call me tomorrow to resolve as it's a very simple issue but not one I can sort out through your automated service and I don't appreciate being messed about because someone's near the end of their shift.

  • abivedder Abi ن (@abivedder) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia still no internet. Very annoying Saturday evening. I have done every single thing advised, have it plugged in by Ethernet at the moment but it still is not working 🤬🤬

  • Amanda_Davey12 Amanda Davey (@Amanda_Davey12) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I find it insulting that you infer it is a problem my end! Once again, the level of customer care is dreadful, and no fixing of the actual problem that we pay a monthly premium for!

  • MrGarySmith Gary Brian Smith (@MrGarySmith) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia Don’t give a shit what your code is if I don’t get the service you don’t get my money

  • JamesMarsh1974 James Marsh (@JamesMarsh1974) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia Just check area 22 for problems, please.

  • MrGarySmith Gary Brian Smith (@MrGarySmith) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia thanks again to the #wankers @virginmedia who cut me off again after 1 hour and 2 mins. So by way of a payback if I don’t get a call in the next two hours I’ll cancel my DD and you can ******* stick your service you your shitty arse!!!!!!!

  • shazthechef sharron killick (@shazthechef) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia Have tested my equipment and there are no problems...have check that's all leads are secure..I've just got problems with the recordings on my box

  • ElsworthSharon sharon elsworth (@ElsworthSharon) reported

    @virginmedia if your thinking about joining virgin do your homework before because dealing with any problems you have is a nightmare. I have been charged for calls and I don’t have a phone,on their suggestion an engineer came,found a fault and I’m still trying to get money

  • hopkins_jane jane hopkins (@hopkins_jane) reported

    @jsan1972 @virginmedia Think I’m going mad. Everything blamed on covid. Bills gone sky high. Can’t even cancel. Can’t speak with anyone. Hours holding. Customer service worst ever.

  • Kirby0Sam Sam Kirby (@Kirby0Sam) reported

    @virginmedia how do I actually speak to someone at your company if I don’t have an account? I’ve ordered a broadband package but no account number has been given to me and I was told I’d get a call back but that was days ago… customer support line only for existing customers…

  • skynetprogramme Add your name (@skynetprogramme) reported

    @virginmedia Losing internet when working from home is bad enough. For it to happen days after finding out the price is going up is more than frustrating.

  • KevHutch Kevin Hutchinson (@KevHutch) reported

    @virginmedia Connection is hugely unreliable and causes intermittent issues with sky boxes, constantly losing connection. Signal is inconsistent from one room to the next and regularly drops out altogether.

  • hopkins_jane jane hopkins (@hopkins_jane) reported

    @virginmedia Waiting to cancel but with a chance of staying if price acceptable. Even happy to pay more for same services but customer service not great….is anyone answering calls? Day 6 of no luck speaking with someone

  • bawbag Steven Grant (@bawbag) reported

    @virginmedia Why am I waiting in a queue for an hour to get through to retentions chat? Customer services chat connected straight away. Do you hope customers get tired of waiting and stay through momentum rather than service provided?

  • tamo_0684 TD (@tamo_0684) reported

    @virginmedia Your broadband connection keeps dropping and is horribly slow. Your technical support is giving a robotic response and your complaints process is broken. Please sort out, people need BB for working from home.

  • PhilGMaull Phil Maull 💙 (@PhilGMaull) reported

    @virginmedia Both of the guys I spoke to were superstars, identified the issue and new SIM en route. Can't fault it. Fingers crossed it'll fix it.

  • KevHutch Kevin Hutchinson (@KevHutch) reported

    @virginmedia The box is wired yes the connection to sky is wireless. Sky engineer has just suggested a fix changing DNS number on the tv box as apparently it’s a common issue between Sky boxes and virgin BB?
