  • KikassP kikassPhotography(official) 🇬🇧🇺🇦 (@KikassP) reported from London, England

    @thatmisterj @virginmedia I'm so sick of it I WILL be leaving Virgin. No-one picking up phone, Just saying there appears to be an intermittent fault. Well No **** Sherlock, I already know that. A dumb text telling me to do what I've already done. I'm not thick Virgin I just want the service I pay for.

  • KikassP kikassPhotography(official) 🇬🇧🇺🇦 (@KikassP) reported from London, England

    Please @virginmedia can you change your waiting music. Its the same 4 tracks adnauseum & very poor quality at that. No wonder customers who wait for over an hour hang up. Its enough to drive you mad with these earworms all day.

  • PIPPAaM Pippa Moss (@PIPPAaM) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia They keep saying an engineer is coming to fix it. It's down again this evening. 😠SE26 4HN

  • marianmartinart Marian Martin (@marianmartinart) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia the WiFi here has been awful for the last few months, we've been on the same router for twelve years now, is there anything you can do to help?

  • PIPPAaM Pippa Moss (@PIPPAaM) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia we've had atrocious broadband on SE26 4HN for weeks now, it just keeps dropping out and then coming back. I have just had my bill and I'm not really feeling we should have to pay for the service we've had this month.

  • MSROPER10 S (@MSROPER10) reported from London, England

    @cameraoncaught @virginmedia Have you forwarded this to Virgin media internal complaints? In my opinion Virgin have one of the worst customer service teams around but it may reach someone who can act upon internally.

  • pauldee74 Paul Dwyer (@pauldee74) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia hi nope just saying unavailable at this time which is no help! working all week so now have to plan to work from home incase the update is its coming tomorrow!!! was all going good just yodel a nightmare! when there updated at 21.15 last night it said 15.00! so lied there!

  • mizznansea Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported from Aveley, England

    So trying to cancel @virginmedia services and the stalling tactics being used are not cool. If customers want to leave they have every right to do so. Let them go.

  • muzzlejuice Steve wilson (@muzzlejuice) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia I'm trying to cancel as I'm moving and asked for confirmation which was not provided , the duty manager refused to speak with me when I tried to escalate

  • KikassP kikassPhotography(official) 🇬🇧🇺🇦 (@KikassP) reported from London, England

    I've just had to suffer the same 4 songs,1 a poor cover of 'Where my Rosemary goes', on a loop, in 2,45 mins of waiting for @virginmedia to pick up. Within 10 mins of engineer fixing fault, its playing up again. Its also the end of my contract so I want to deal with it.

  • MSROPER10 S (@MSROPER10) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Its magically started to work on ethernet but it's not giving out a WiFi signal? What is going on?

  • marianmartinart Marian Martin (@marianmartinart) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia It says there aren't any known issues but we have been struggling with it for the last few years - the service is just getting worse!

  • Veganforever67 Vegan join the PCS Union (@Veganforever67) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia #virginmedia spoke to a very nice lady today from Virgin media who wanted to know why I was leaving Virgin after 10 minutes of me complaining on how bad Virgin has been extending my contract and all sorts of things she did apologise but I said it wasn't her fault

  • SeasideAPNP Liam Stanley💙 (@SeasideAPNP) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @AnnG50707311 @virginmedia I always haggled with them and got them to come in at new customer prices. Surprising what they will give you when you let them think you are leaving. Also let them know what other companies will offer you to become a customer as they may match the offer

  • feyipuk Phil (@feyipuk) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia I'm sorry for the two poor support staff who are trying to sell us new remote controls, routers and O2 sims - for more money - till we hit the nuclear option and say we're leaving to get what we're asking? We're loyal customers; why does it need to get to that?

  • CouchPotatoUK Wesley Hammer ⚒️ (@CouchPotatoUK) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia for a media company that sells amazing broadband, your website is terrible. Just goes in circles, doesn't let you change packages online. Terrible.

  • RobertSSmith66 Robert Smith (@RobertSSmith66) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia any chance you can get your website to work? Change Package Chat does nothing! Links sent via mail do not work! Hyperlink sent by text doesn’t work! Call centre (working from home in India?) worse than useless! Ever heard of Customer Centric design? #Useless

  • willhenrywarren William Warren (@willhenrywarren) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia @trickythecat Will affected users get a refund for the lack of service? We haven't had internet for a week.

  • GeddesJonathan Jonathan Geddes (@GeddesJonathan) reported

    @virginmedia your customer service is absolutely horrendous! My mother has had no TV for 3 days. When she finally got though to you today, after a few checks you said the box was fine and to check the cables before hanging up! Aye, make a 75 Yr old get down on hands and knees!

  • thombo1987 Alan Thompson 🇮🇪 (@thombo1987) reported from Garrane, Munster

    The @ladbible need their own news programme on tv. **** RTE & Virgin media news boring as ****.

  • MavricPlays Mavric (@MavricPlays) reported

    My Virgin Media Wifi is down and has been all day, anyone else?

  • KATIEGHIRLS katiebhirdie1888 (@KATIEGHIRLS) reported

    @virginmedia Can’t you provide an email address that you would be able to access, I dare say going by comments u would be inundated with complaints as it seems to be a common theme! Or better still have a disconnection dept that can help!

  • TFU_GaMe_OvEr TFU GaMe OvEr (@TFU_GaMe_OvEr) reported

    @virginmedia can you tell me if there is a known issue with Hub 3's wifi currently? Internet via ethernet is working fine, however WiFi has been very weak with frequent disconnects. Been like this for the last 4-6 months. Restarts and resets of the router have not really helped.

  • taylalaurenxo TaylaLauren (@taylalaurenxo) reported

    @virginmedia Whenever we get put through to a person, we never hear from them. The number you’ve is the 1 I spent an hour & 45 mins on hold to, to then get cut off. The same number we’ve spent over 11 hours on hold to, to get cut off every time.

  • SallyHand15 Sally Hand (@SallyHand15) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve turned the phone off and back on but it seems you have cancelled my contract. I did not ask you to do this as I’m using a friends phone whilst my phone is out of action. Now I can’t make any calls and I have no 3G or 4G it says no service.

  • OMGitsBethanyxX Bethany Baker (@OMGitsBethanyxX) reported

    @virginmedia It says there are no known problems with the broadband in my area, but my WiFi or ethernet isn't working.

  • Larrypropbfs Larry McAllister (@Larrypropbfs) reported

    @skytv tried getting your black fro deal yesterday and couldn’t get it through. Called this morning and was told you couldn’t honour it. I’m already a broadband customer. So much for customer loyalty 🤔 #skytv #virginmedia

  • XxstooshxX Dudley Haye (@XxstooshxX) reported

    What a surprise Virgin Media down again.
