    @virginmedia Seems like the whole area is down. Normally you warn me if works are planned, but not this time.

    @jeffsprogress @virginmedia @Hyperoptic I was with Hyperoptic for 4 years, not a single outage I can recall. Swapped to Virgin Media last autumn because they offered a cheaper and better deal. Had nothing but problems since. And now they have the temerity to hike the bills. When I can swap back to Hyperoptic, I will.

    @virginmedia How long have you got? I have just sat down in a restaurant to cry on a friend’s shoulder. The nice server said, “how are you?” I just burst into tears! Seriously. My disappointment is palpable. I want to go back to @BT

    @virginhelp @MistryMistry21 @virginmedia Virgin Media give really poor customer service. I’ve been waiting over 14 hours? It feels like your customer service team is a team of 1

    @virginmedia sort it out! I’ve got Betty next door hollering at me over the fence when I’m trying to get the washing in asking if it’s gone down! #virginmedia #VirginMediaoutage

    @virginmedia @virginmedia can have no rival to the worst customer service out there! Said resolved an issue after held for over an hour only to find it’s not and I now can’t get back in touch. 2nd day work ruined

  • squeakytoy
    Steven Peterson 🏳️‍🌈 (@squeakytoy) reported from Islington, England

    I called @virginmedia back and they are now saying they won’t be able to install my internet until February 15th, a month after they sent me the modem. They’ve already activated my account and are charging me, but are telling me that shouldn’t have happened and they can’t fix it.

  • _Lewis_A
    Lewis Allen ⚒ (@_Lewis_A) reported from Romford, England

    So @virginmedia want £288 to cancel a contract I've had since 2018. Can I get through to anyone to speak about it? NO!!

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

    @virginmedia Think it's more to do with the upgrade work then; when I select Help from the Help & Settings menu, the screen goes blank. I'm thinking it needs a network connection to work. Any plans for a Hub with built in 02 sim to increase connectivity? Currently hot spotting my phone.

    @virginmedia Been trying since 10.00 am and the priority app is still down.....interesting use of the word 'priority '....

    @virginmedia the tv connection has had a fault since 8th June. You are "working on it", & each day checking status the date to fix is moved further away. You do not refund for lack of service why is that? And text updates are not received. And its STILL not working.

  • amanda11350524
    amanda (@amanda11350524) reported from Ilford, England

    @LutzSchueler as CEO of @virgin media i have now been waiting for a call back since the beginning of June despite assurances my billing/package complaint has been escalated and I would receive a manager call back. I have heard and received NOTHING.

    @LutzSchueler @virginmedia worst customer service ever. Orders changed without notification and unable to make contact with a human to discuss problem.

    @skytv has the WORST customer service possible - I advise everyone against using this service. Choose @virginmedia. Told @skytv agent x3 times to speak to manager - request refused! Rubbish products that do not work! Cancelling the lot!

    @virginmedia how can I arrange a refund for lack of service? BB & TV down for nearly 24hrs, your call centre staff have been horrendous to deal with and I am sat inside on the best day of the year so far, awaiting an engineer - with zero confidence that they’ll actually arrive!

    @Benleo Stay away from Virgin Media and you will be happier for it trust me. Clear someone in an office somewhere has said we can offer **** customer service that costs X from India or good customer service from the UK that costs Y and they have went with X
