  • Juliefleur24 Joobs (@Juliefleur24) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    Fed up that yet again @virginmedia have outages in my area, shown as not working until tomorrow pm ! I’m trying to study but have internet, again

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

    @unsliced @virginmedia One strand of fibre cable can transfer a lot of data. When they talk about a cable it’s going to have multiple strands so it can carry even more. It sucks that it’s down, but repairing fibre is not trivial.

  • 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

  • PamGayford Pam Gayford (@PamGayford) reported from Billericay, England

    @jules0455 @virginmedia We had no landline for 5 weeks,6 days..We just were told there was a problem at the exchange..But it seemed it was just our property..In the end Hubby told TalkTalk just what they could do,& it was resolved in 3 days...Very frustrating..Try to stay calm..💕x

  • 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

  • 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!

  • 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!

  • CounterCultureG Counter Culture (@CounterCultureG) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia moved from #sky gave notice 2 weeks ago, looking forward to installation on Friday 13th. You confirmed on Tuesday 10th. Took the day off work. Didn’t arrive, called support. Was informed installation changed to 28th😡😡🤬🤬🤬. Great start! Received letter today14th

  • 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.

  • alansbrown alan brown (@alansbrown) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia Put something online or phone message when we call also despite being out since yesterday morning only been able to register issue this morning. Not great service really so likely to cancel my contract in new year despite over 15 years as a customer just too much poor service

  • 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

  • Kieran_McGinley Kieran McGinley (@Kieran_McGinley) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @Biancaaa89 @virginmedia Same for me, website says fix at 9am tomorrow. 🙃 oh, and COYWs 😎

  • 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.

  • 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 😱

  • 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!

  • SarahWaygood Sarah Waygood (@SarahWaygood) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia if our services aren’t back in action by 4pm as promised I will be holding you responsible for any actions that arise as a result of watching bad kids DVDs back to back.

  • moira_adams moira adams (@moira_adams) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia #virginmedia after 24 hrs TV & broadband outage in SM3, the 4pm fix time better be accurate or I’m going to have raging kids to deal with

  • 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.

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

  • badassscotsman Jim Auld (@badassscotsman) reported from Montrose, Scotland

    @virginmedia @libertyglobal This has to be the number 1 worst Internet and TV provider I have ever dealt with. Disgusting customer service they fix nothing do nothing yet they still want paid. Now the have this 28 day wait to sort out a complaint.

  • rattyliveshere Kim Ronaldson (@rattyliveshere) reported from Guildford, England

    Hi @virginmedia You “help” isn’t helpful at all. How do I get to a human for support on my Virgin landline please? Frustrated from Guildford

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @TheOnlyElChazmo @maureenbo @virginmedia I got £50 for 8 weeks of crap internet at the start if the lockdown but I had to fight for it Best thing all Virgin customers can do is replace the Superhub 3.0, its even a crap doorstop, solved so many if my issues and now I actually have range on my WiFi

  • SarBrad Sarah B (@SarBrad) reported from Royal Tunbridge Wells, England

    @virginmedia your customer service is appalling! I need to cancel my contract as moving and nobody is answering the phones. I used the text number and went through a long exchange of messages only to be told I needed to phone!! I have been trying to get through for the past month

  • AnaRochaPT Ana Rocha (@AnaRochaPT) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia any chance of getting an assistant to help? This is a real challenge here, no virgin email for queries, call centers closed, no one on the chat services as I have been online for hours!

  • sallywallywoo10 Sally French (@sallywallywoo10) reported from Exeter District, England

    @virginmedia Thanks but I’m not a customer yet...I see there was some sort of roadshow going on yesterday but didn’t know about it in advance so no time to take a look. I’m just keen to switch from my current provider.

  • BrittenyCox Britteny Gibson (Cox) (@BrittenyCox) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @virginmedia It's now been over a month and still no resolution to the complaint I filled. We are being over charged yet again. Can someone please get in touch directly regarding this complaint please.

  • AshScrivens Ashley Robert Scrivens (@AshScrivens) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia I haven’t really got anywhere, I wanted ideally to discuss the process I went through and what I was advised online placing my upgrade. I have contacted CD via text but i have just been told nothing can be done and pick a new tariff! Struggled to try raise a complaint also...
