    Once again no tv and broadband from @virginmedia. So I ring up and their is a recording saying they are improving the service and it may be off till 6.00pm. Does no one work nights when it would disrupt less people. #justsaying

    @virginmedia been without broadband or TV for 3 days now. Your information line advises “ it’s a complex issue ...taking longer than expected”. I work from home, I NEED broadband for email, Skype and data access. It’s not bloody good enough!

  • OliverShort574 Oliver Short (@OliverShort574) reported from Barnsley, England

    @virginmedia thank you so much for leaving our family without WIFI for the next 2 weeks... Poor Customer Service , No Letters about “A Survey” rang customer services to cancel and obliviously they didn’t understand we wanted to cancel after 30 minutes on the phone!!!!!

  • nickholding01 Vegan_nick.h (@nickholding01) reported from Wakefield, England

  • backstreetjoe Lee Bennett (@backstreetjoe) reported

    @virginmedia Yes says expect problems until 3pm but we were not told of any planned work

  • HZL_ww H (@HZL_ww) reported

    @hannahfearn @virginmedia It shouldn't be this difficult. It's too bad it can't be done online within 10 minutes. 😥 customer service is so backwards in the UK

  • 1jameswilkinson James Wilkinson (@1jameswilkinson) reported

    @virginmedia into week 6 with no Internet on a business line. One question: why is your customer service so poor and your reps so unhelpful?

  • hobzy92 Jake Hobbes (@hobzy92) reported

    @virginmedia Quickest you guys have responded funny that.. yes a complaint was made ref: C-2110221325

  • BluBanjoes Greg Bailey 💙 (@BluBanjoes) reported

    @virginmedia 1 Usual runaround. From Virgin Media website ‘just run a few checks’ result ‘your hub is not connected’. Try to reboot no good. Engineer booked then cancelled by VM as ‘problem is on network’. Automated VM phone message confirms major problem.

  • martinpoler Martin Poler (@martinpoler) reported

    @virginmedia Yes. It's the wired connection into the wifi router. Just gone. Why is your service so patchy?

  • martinpoler Martin Poler (@martinpoler) reported

    @virginmedia Third party The one you provided was awful

  • ianharrisonuk ian harrison (@ianharrisonuk) reported

    @virginmedia don’t understand why you can’t inform your customer about planned upgrades as I work from home and have no service ‘think about your customers’ it’s not hard to send a txt as you have all customers details!!

  • maltbyjames James Maltby (@maltbyjames) reported

    @virginmedia I don't want to have to register on another forum, I've tried calling and get sent a text message saying I've signed up for updates but that just takes me to a page saying there are no issues in my area. We have no broadband or TV and I can't get any news on when it will be fixed

  • PaulToddTallPod Paul Todd (@PaulToddTallPod) reported

    On hold to @virginmedia for 2 hours after they pushed my installation back by a month with less than 1 day notice. Great customer service, actual A* (sarcasm detected). Strongly considering cancelling and going elsewhere.
