    @virginmedia I need to book an engineer to come out but every time I go through your automated system it cuts me off telling me to go online or that my hub is offline. I know it is. That's why I'm calling. There's a wire broken. It's not switched off. Pls help. Thanks 💛

    @virginmedia @richardbranson @bt_uk virgin your broadband service in waltham Abbey is disgraceful, even though we have complained you fail to resolve my problems, and are no delivering on your own contract terms. I want this resolved or released frommy contract @poppy_tompkinsx

    @virginmedia online chat help absolute waste of an hour of my life, now on hold for 20 mins so far. Disgusting customer service.

  • gary2323 G.Marshall Gleghorn (@gary2323) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Called from Bangalore touting me to renew contract offering me upgrades but lied about cost, sorted this out, then VM continued to bill me at rate I never agreed too, then we had four days of outages, then Bangalore team just disconnect if they cannot sort out a problem

  • artteachjess Jessica Austin Esq. MA MCCT (@artteachjess) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia @StigAbell Love the way you reply to someone with large media presence but no reply to my complaint!

  • TobyFox92307507 Toby Fox (@TobyFox92307507) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @andymatthews @virginmedia Cheers Andy. Signed with BT - decent price and - get this - people on the phone who are polite, try to help and are effective - deal done in a single phone call. It's like the future!

  • roxcreeve Roxc Reeve (@roxcreeve) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia My direct debit failed I wasn’t sent a letter just got cut off I was then threatened to pay 3 months in advance new customers don’t even do that I put in a complaint no one called me back this was last week

  • fizzyade Adrian Carpenter (@fizzyade) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @unsliced @virginmedia This does utterly suck though, I’m a business customer and rely on the internet during working hours, I have no internet, no link to the office etc. Funnily enough I just lent my redundancy 4G router to my daughter and then this happens!

  • Nuovovino John warr (@Nuovovino) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @VirginMediaNews @virginmedia 4th day without internet/TV/Phone it’s taking this long because there was never a plan B. Stop lying about how long this problem will take to fix, and make sure you have a hefty compensation package.

  • roxcreeve Roxc Reeve (@roxcreeve) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    The way my mum has been treated by virgin media this week is disgusting as a paying customer she’s been in tears and they’ve violated there terms and conditions @richardbranson your staff should be ashamed of themselves

  • MarkBur97728871 Mark Burrows (@MarkBur97728871) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    Can you make virgin Media go bust broadband is crap and I wast my money on it

  • Patrick60425645 Patrick Barrett (@Patrick60425645) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Yes, fix the navigation, have serious look at you chat app, as in the Name chat, is not what your application does, you using AI/ word recognition and you still list the reply as Agent. Having spent 10 min on your site. No thanks Virgin.

  • chrisTstraker Chris Straker (@chrisTstraker) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia a still waiting for TV & broadband to come back into service !! Any ideas, other than the 4pm, that I’ve been told for last two days 😱

  • gary2323 G.Marshall Gleghorn (@gary2323) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia All working now but customer service has been a nightmare

  • chrisTstraker Chris Straker (@chrisTstraker) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia Service just resumed 😓

  • fizzyade Adrian Carpenter (@fizzyade) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @unsliced @virginmedia Sure, but no internet provider has a completely dual redundant system, if they did we’d never see any outages. You can mitigate certain issues with redundancy, but “cut the cord” in the wrong place and you’ll have an issue.

  • jta1497 Right Here Right Now.... (@jta1497) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia the worst company for broadband @richardbranson and your name is attached to it. @Offcom please investigate the shambles off an outfit

  • raymierussell Raymond Russell (@raymierussell) reported

    @WoblyRampack @BreakIntoProg Yeah, Virgin media is one that will usually give you a decent discount but you have to go through the 'I am thinking of leaving you' dance. I eventually did leave Virgin because I only wanted BB and it is fast but not particularly valueful. I went with a mobile BB solution.

  • MariaHaynes Maria Haynes (@MariaHaynes) reported

    @MoneySavingExp Got sick n tired of haggling so plucked up the courage to cut the @skytv & @virginmedia umbilical cord months ago & go it alone (we have a Smart TV, a Firestick & decent broadband, which helps) - have never looked back 👍🏻

  • 1stevengrant Steven (@1stevengrant) reported

    @vmbusinesshelp @vmbusiness Yeah did that yesterday. Engineer is due out today. But yeah, your support and network status announcements need work.

  • al_swifty Alice Swift (@al_swifty) reported

    @virginmedia It came back briefly last night and then disappeared again this morning. Currently on train a few stations down the line and signal is back. Issue seems to be localised to SK23

  • teznorth ElTel (@teznorth) reported

    @virginmedia Yes I've done that say no issues apart from connections to my house I've just called CS again to be told to rest it for the 10th in 36 hours and still have problems. A technician has even book for 2nd Dec but I have no Internet to then.

  • FifiG Fiona (@FifiG) reported

    @virginmedia Started text chat 10:43, still waiting… I just want to cancel an order @virginmedia

  • Bee_Cetin Bee 🐝 (@Bee_Cetin) reported

    @virginmedia Yes I have and they have no idea what is happening with my account. I keep getting passed around to different teams. Iv spoken to pre install and technical team and customers service. You are honestly causing me a high load of stress with not being able to do my work properly.

  • LozzyPurry Loz Perugini (@LozzyPurry) reported

    @virginmedia @YodelOnline no resolution.

  • awesome_squib Gemma-Louise (@awesome_squib) reported

    @virginmedia I finally have service today, albeit very slow but my upload speed is currently 2.58Mbps. It has been incredibly low all morning. I am unable to connect to any video calls & meetings. What needs to be done to get the upload speed back up? #urgent #WorkFromHome
