  • Jay_Hul J (@Jay_Hul) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia I have to say I’m completely done with your service. I have 6 months left, but I’ve had to purchase a BT package in order to WFH. The constant up/down of your network since lockdown has become a joke and I just want rid. #virginmediadown

  • HerRoyalDykness Part of the Rebel Alliance and a Traitor (@HerRoyalDykness) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia all services down AGAIN the quality of service from Virgin lately has been shocking multiple outages of tv/broadband. Not entirely sure what I'm paying for when I can't use it.

  • Tinalc69 Tina Clark (@Tinalc69) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia currently at 35 min for a online chat reply. Not a good start for a new customer with a query about delivery today!

  • davidclark1966 David Clark (@davidclark1966) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @VirginRed Hi there, it seems as though my 250 points for being a verified Virgin Media customer hasn’t been applied, could you help me?

  • roxburghshire ifmcl (@roxburghshire) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia no internet for a week in SE23 Help line says ‘complex technical problems in your area engineers are working hard to resolve.’ It’s been a week!

  • JCherryAMES James Cherry (@JCherryAMES) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia hi the internet is down in Eltham 21, all day and can’t run a test because you’ve sent me a hub 4 that doesn’t allow it!

  • Kimlovett Kim Baker was Lovett (@Kimlovett) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia what’s happened to your customer services? I have stayed with you for years now need your help, can’t log into my account need your help and holding forever on the phone ....

  • GraceWaring22 GRΔCΣ (@GraceWaring22) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Yep that’s funny. Really is. Do you not think I’ve not tried ringing you & only can do so on my mobile as no landline remember, on hold up to 40 mins+ & then cut off. You try it. It’s impossible to speak to a real person. WORST SERVICE EVER👎🏻

  • GraceWaring22 GRΔCΣ (@GraceWaring22) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I just want 2 speak 2 someone that will sort issues out ASAP without holding for an hour & more. App chat is non responsive. Beyond frustrated by no phone or broadband & terrible backup help support non existent. How can I fix this or please just cancel as had enough now.

  • ferdi_rezvan Ferdi Rezvan (@ferdi_rezvan) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia is there known problems in the SE3 area? Virgin service status page is not working...

  • dominicjoyner Dominic Joyner (@dominicjoyner) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia - how do I report a specific problem with a TV service?

  • Jay_Hul J (@Jay_Hul) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia Tbh it’s been ongoing since we locked down in April. I accepted things might be a struggle but as time has passed colleagues and friends are not struggling with day to day connection or having constant lapses in connections. Having spoke to CCare nothing can be done.

  • GraceWaring22 GRΔCΣ (@GraceWaring22) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I’m sick of corresponding with virtual assistants. I need a real person to fix a real problem. Now.

  • hungoverdrawn Robert Shaw (@hungoverdrawn) reported from Wainscott, England

    @virginmedia It's started working this morning after 24 hours down, bit strange that your website said there were no service issues anywhere 😒 I guess I'll cancel that engineer visit now.

  • TheSugg David Sugg (@TheSugg) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia hi I’ve received a written response to a complaint from VM but with no way to reply other than the usual customer service number which doesn’t offer an option for this. Can you supply another telephone number or physical address to reply to?

  • ako_essex The Gaffa🔌 (@ako_essex) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia worst internet provider going

  • andyfry andyfry (@andyfry) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia oh what a surprise the Internet is down again. If there was any alternative to Virgin in my area I'd be off like a shot.

  • GraceWaring22 GRΔCΣ (@GraceWaring22) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia please respond and contact me to sort out my issues of no landline and broadband, your service is a nightmare & zero response or support from appchat. Not happy. #virginmedia @virginmedia

  • AndyHardy360 Andrew Hardy (@AndyHardy360) reported

    @virginmedia internet keeps dropping out everyday now. This is ridiculous. I need an engineer who can actually fix these issues instead of stupid bots. I don't pay for a terrible service!
