    So it turns out @virginmedia have a help system that isn’t helpful. Catch-22 built into system and no tv. Why am I paying them?

  • donnorcean
    Connor Dean (@donnorcean) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Still cutting in and out as it has been for many weeks… no local area issues listed anywhere. Have been trying to get ahold of someone for weeks now but just keeps looping in the app, really frustrating

  • Stefan_baisden

    @virginmedialife @virginmedia The worst service from any company I have ever used. I would like to be removed from your business accounts.

  • donnorcean
    Connor Dean (@donnorcean) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia have had intermittent issues for over a month now, every time I go down the route of reporting the issue it just says wait 24 hours. How can I speak to someone about this as the phone number never gets me to a person?

  • JammieBun
    James Brown (@JammieBun) reported from Hillingdon, England

    Hi @virginmedia. I’ve tried phoning you with a complaint, but the calls get shunted into weblink hell. I’ve submitted two complaints through your site which have mysteriously disappeared from my account. And on Twitter the links you send for an online chat only ever lead …

  • paulusthegrey
    Paul Simmonds (@paulusthegrey) reported from Borehamwood, England

    @virginmedia I think I may have an idea what’s happened to your service in #borehamwood It looks like a kerbside box has been totalled by a drunk driver.

  • GabrielaLungu
    Gabriela Lungu (@GabrielaLungu) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia Right… in the meantime I trust you won’t charge us. No service should at least mean no pay. If not also a bonus for the disruption and the frustration caused 😑

    @virginmedia can you turn your hold muzak volume down I am begging you

  • GraemePuttock
    Graeme Puttock (@GraemePuttock) reported from Enfield Lock, England

    @virginmedia Hi John, thanks for getting back to me. The call was in regards to a problem with my broadband which luckily after an hour on the phone to a really helpful operator was discovered to be a known issue in the area that was being updated late on the system. 1/2

  • Khaled_Miah1
    Khaled Miah (@Khaled_Miah1) reported from Poplar, England

    @virginmedia very disappointed with the upgrade package in being offered by Virgin. You are offering a loyal customer to upgrade to Gig1 for £51.15 whereas new customers get it for £45 p/m. Where is the loyalty?

  • GabrielaLungu
    Gabriela Lungu (@GabrielaLungu) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia it’s been over one month of really poor or inexistent broadband service in London W11. I hope you won’t charge us for the last month.

  • beccaleigh99

    @virginmedia hello, since you ‘upgraded’ the WiFi in our area - Clerkenwell- the WiFi signal has been terrible. To whom shall I complain? Thanks

  • rhymerrigby
    Rhymer Rigby (@rhymerrigby) reported from London, England

    @scribblercat @virginmedia The frequency of posts like this is why I'll never leave BT. IME, they're reliable and I care about that far more than speed, price, etc.

  • GraemePuttock
    Graeme Puttock (@GraemePuttock) reported from Enfield Lock, England

    @virginmedia service status on your website is not correct for the N9 area. The site says no issues but CS line confirms there are issues and engineers are working on it. No useable broadband since Friday. Will we get refunds and what's the ETA on a fix?

  • GabrielaLungu
    Gabriela Lungu (@GabrielaLungu) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia Yes, they are known issues; but they haven’t been fixed in over a month! Every day the message keeps changing. Thursday the promise is to have things fixed by Friday, Friday it moves to Monday aso… It’s been like this for a month 🤯 We work from home; we need decent broadband.

    @virginmedia hi, received my new phone. Except there’s no 4G/5G showing up even though I can send messages, go on social media and I can’t access sky bet. Is there any solution to this?

  • jtdavies
    John T Davies 💙🇺🇦💛 (@jtdavies) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia We had issues last month, a nice engineer came (Mohamed) and said it was a local problem. I reported it on the phone again on Tuesday (Aqeelah), she said there are local problems (again). I fed up wit this, it’s been a week of impossible internet, day and night!

  • morish1
    maureen robert (@morish1) reported from Hillingdon, England

    @virginmedia This is false advertising. My broadband goes off more than it’s on and then it is so slow. I have lost count on the times I have called the help line. I have rebooted routinely, it works for a while then off again. I have had enough now as enough is enough!!!

  • markhayo
    MarcHayo (@markhayo) reported from Kensington, England

    Well done to the engineers @virginmedia for sorting out my internet in Earl’s Court (ahead of time as usual). I appreciate that people have genuine problems, but we need to keep a sense of proportion. Especially compared with brave Ukrainians who face far worse troubles than us.

  • DEDNaive
    Debbs Durston (@DEDNaive) reported from Enfield Lock, England

    @virginmedia Look just leave it tonight. If it’s the same in the morning I’ll contact customer service to see how long it will take to close my account. Cheers for trying to help.

    @catmur34 @virginmedia Similar to James. We called to say the complaint was ignored, they gave us a number C-170222706. Then we get an email to say it’s closed. Ok… we will be going to @ofcom. What a joke.

  • BycroftTom
    Tom Bycroft ❤🥁 (@BycroftTom) reported

    @virginmedia Over the phone agent was so rude and not helpful at all sick of your company i bought new contract and now been told no to get 3 wifi boosters which am entitled to

  • D_Law666
    David (@D_Law666) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia My point was really about your call centers causing more problems than solving them. Miscommunication has ended up with a technician coming out to the house when he isn't really needed. I was originally told all I needed to do was swap a new box for an old one.

  • donnaxx_xx
    xxDonnaxx 🌸 (@donnaxx_xx) reported

    @virginmedia 1gb broadband is useless with hub 4. Son has been told he needs to buy a mesh router or put up with no wifi. Having to connect to mobile for teams calls and you won’t let him go back to hub 3. Service is disgusting

  • Ian1603
    Ian1558 (@Ian1603) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks - still issues but I have checked the service status site and that site has confirmed I still have issues. Asked me to check again in four hours. If still not fixed they will book an engineer

  • patfxl
    Patricia F (@patfxl) reported

    @virginmedia I have signed in my account to check many times now and followed all the usual reboot... and done hard reset as discussed with your team. There is obviously an issue at a different level but there is no communication

  • Theoola1
    PEMPEHREMPE (@Theoola1) reported

    Virgin are fools. How can they reduce my unlimited phone data and now my signal coverage is moving mad. Can’t even keep up 4g @virginmedia

  • spacked
    katie hoolahan (@spacked) reported

    @virginmedia To even get the option to talk to someone I have to be willing to have my internet restarted/turned off for a bit, but I can't because it would interrupt my housemates that need it for work. Then phone lines are closed outside the hours that its okay for me to do that.

    @virginmedia Your lieing to a #Loyal customer been on the phone and your telling me £57 a month is the cheapest you do,its all LIES. #TheCustomerIsAlwaysRight

    @virginmedia The complaint was raised through your WhatsApp. I have spoke to them again today. They said it's not possible to ring me. I showed them the screenshot and then said sorry, we will ring you within 2 hours. 5 hours later still nothing. sthey are as useful as a chocolate teapot
