  • citigirly lisa sibley (@citigirly) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Omg this is ridiculous this has been since the 18th June.. I have such poor connection and I am wfh ? An engineer appointment to my house was booked but virgin cancelled? I can’t carry on like this for another week?….

  • clairevnugent Claire Nugent (@clairevnugent) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia Absoutley disgusting customer service today, was sent round the same bot telling me to do the same things for half an hour before getting to a chat where the helper decided to take their lunch break in the middle of it and expected me to wait!!

  • adiesmith64 ⚒Adrian Smith⚒ (@adiesmith64) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @KAYI50747133 @virginmedia Yep how you have explained it is exactly the same for me, have tried my 2nd box upstairs but the same problem!

  • HunteLucy Lucy Hunte (@HunteLucy) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia a text to say there may be disruption to services is not the same as no wifi or TV since 8am and not expected back on until 4pm?! Can’t speak to anyone on the phone either! Not acceptable especially when I am having to cancel important work meetings?! Furious!

  • EthanChapples Ethan Chapples (@EthanChapples) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia is there an issue with internet in CR4? Had no connection for the past hour?

  • clairevnugent Claire Nugent (@clairevnugent) reported from Romford, England

    And on top of this I’ve been on a chat to complain about what happened and I’ve been made to wait over an hour for a wait time of “fifteen minutes”. This is a paid service! Never use virgin media for broadband, I’m fuming 😤

  • kanyonatic Mary (@kanyonatic) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia All anyone can say is there is an issue and it’s being fixed but they don’t know when

  • ABSiddiki Abu Siddiki (@ABSiddiki) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Well…either an early cancellation or resolve the issue that I am having at your expense and not mine :)

  • _iancollier Ian Collier (@_iancollier) reported from Gravesend, England

    Hey @virginmedia why does it take sooooo long to call you guys? Spent 45 mins on hold waiting to be transferred to department who can help me with my phone line problem. I gave up. Help!

  • citigirly lisa sibley (@citigirly) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia They said this issue is affecting my connection as I seem to be connecting to 5 something not 2.4 ghz can anyone help.

  • suzywotz ꧁༒☬𝓢𝓾𝔃𝔂𝔀𝓸𝓽𝔃☬༒꧂ 🌷🐼🎪⭐️👸🏽 (@suzywotz) reported from Gravesend, England

    @JooMarsden @virginmedia I truly have never experienced anything like this before , there’s gonna be a launch here soon … this router out my bloody window and I couldn’t give a toss where it touches down @richardbranson it certainly won’t be a safe landing where’s our service we are paying for ?

  • 303marty Martin Donovan ⚒⚒ 🇬🇧🇬🇧 (@303marty) reported from Romford, England

    So Virgin How do I opt out receiving one of you hard of hearing not very pleasant slow on the uptake sales people calling me from somewhere East of here... @virginmedia

  • gorgeousuk anne hill (@gorgeousuk) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia can you tell me why we had internet issues for the last three days which are now solved, but I still cannot get Netflix, iPlayer, Amazon prime video or Now Tv. I am sick of paying for extra tv services I cannot access. Would you like to refund me for these days?

  • c_vanadium0509 Claire Newton (@c_vanadium0509) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia any updates on the outage in SE London? What is the eta for resolution?

  • HunteLucy Lucy Hunte (@HunteLucy) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Not expecting a fault free service but an entire day with no Wifi when working from home is not acceptable in the slightest! The texts said some disruption not no service at all? Compensation is required!

  • bludogsix Ethan Truss (@bludogsix) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia We haven't had a stable connection since January and our internet drops out at least 20 times a day. Your customer service line is anything but useful, as no one seems to be able to figure out the issue that is causing this consistently inconsistent internet service.

  • citigirly lisa sibley (@citigirly) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Can you see if fix eta for fault F09107079 is Monday 12th July please

  • KeithBursnall Keith Bursnall 🏳️‍🌈 (@KeithBursnall) reported from London, England

    No internet with @virginmedia and 5G down to a crawl with @EE - I shall have to take up@knitting!

  • suzywotz ꧁༒☬𝓢𝓾𝔃𝔂𝔀𝓸𝓽𝔃☬༒꧂ 🌷🐼🎪⭐️👸🏽 (@suzywotz) reported from Gravesend, England

    @JooMarsden @virginmedia It appears it’s gotta be all our road .. surely others have reported an issue too hence it needs to be addressed rapidly lots of stressed and angry customers I’d imagine #notimpressed

  • KeithBursnall Keith Bursnall 🏳️‍🌈 (@KeithBursnall) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia been down for most of the day (thank god for @EE mobile data). No mention of local network issues.

  • ZionistWolf Karl (@ZionistWolf) reported

    @LiamKenniford @virginmedia Shocking, you should get a refund on that as the service isn't being provided.

  • VMCcare Virgin Mobile Care (@VMCcare) reported

    @Samalarrr0542 Good morning, Samantha. While I do apologize for the difficulties, are you based in the UK? As this is the support page for Canadian customers, we advise Virgin UK members to reach out to @VirginMedia. — KB

  • WarrenHagueF1 Anthony W Hague (@WarrenHagueF1) reported

    @virginmedia I signed into the Virgin TV Go app and have clicked on Saved and tried to play one of my recordings and it comes up with an error saying Only available at Home, even though i am at home and connected to the same network also the control app wont let me sign in??

  • mo1981_rahman Muhammad Rahman (@mo1981_rahman) reported

    @virginmedia Don't sign up to virgin media it's the worst Customer service and internet

  • geordie1kenobi sean kelly (@geordie1kenobi) reported

    @virginmedia No known issues I’m sure my router isn’t working properly I need a new one in positive of it

  • mattbrown_10 Matt (@mattbrown_10) reported

    Ayyyy my internet cut out, finally virgin media do something right and make sure I can’t watch the shitshow at the Ricoh

  • petewylie Pete Wylie is WAH!🌟 (@petewylie) reported

    @virginmedia Ok. You can’t help. My question was about customer service. The agent was totally unhelpful. Ruled out a simple obvious solution numerous times. Think he wanted to stop work.(he said so!). Kept saying YOU CAN LEAVE. I DONT WANT TO!! +why wait a month? Nonsense. Terrible service.

  • nmrqip Jonathan Jones 🦆 (@nmrqip) reported

    People have different technical experiences with @virginmedia and we have mostly got on OK. But every single customer thinks that their customer service is an utter disgrace.

  • White2Janice 🎀💜Janice 🍬🌺 (@White2Janice) reported

    @virginmedia Hi when is the best time to get in touch with customer services as my mam wants her tv package cancelled? Thanks

  • petewylie Pete Wylie is WAH!🌟 (@petewylie) reported

    @virginmedia I didnt instigate the complaint to ofcom. We agreed a different hub which I could return in an hour would rule out the rattling hub. And why did I not get offered an engineer visit? Covid-safe here, and Virgin vans have been in my street all week! This makes NO sense whatsoever.
