  • sami_chanchan Sami Channon (@sami_chanchan) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @Ofcom @virginmedia Amazing thank you. I think I am getting somewhere with virgins Twitter team but there phone staff refused to escalate my complaint to a manager several times and then insisted on a call back which will apparently take 72 hours

  • INEya_veganfood RJ Buddha (@INEya_veganfood) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @KarenWolman @virginmedia absolutely horrendous customer service.

  • Tulley122 Dave Tulley (@Tulley122) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia tv not working any help

  • mattiem1976 Matt (@mattiem1976) reported from Sompting, England

    @virginmedia getting 17gb download speed on 100gb service ??? Surely this isn't correct I should of stated with sky

  • INEya_veganfood RJ Buddha (@INEya_veganfood) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia crisis with 50%+ increase in monthly costs for no reason. No increase in service, no additional benefits - nothing! Then an horrendous contact centre service.

  • FragileCreature Fragile Creatures (@FragileCreature) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia It's your customer service that isn't working. And our broadband router.

  • sara_saehasti Sara (@sara_saehasti) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia please can I have the UK customer services number as gathering inconsistent information from the general call centre and I am losing faith

  • logically_fuzzy Jonathan 🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺 & 🏳️‍⚧️ ally (he/him) (@logically_fuzzy) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia no WiFi, phone or TV in Brighton BN2 Causing major problems with work What's the problem and when can it be fixed? I can't afford to miss any more work

  • SimonRusbridge Simon Rusbridge (@SimonRusbridge) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia tv and WiFi down in BN14?

  • beadyface Keri Kennedy (@beadyface) reported from Hove, England

    @virginmedia It didn’t work, box was reset, tried to use online help, still not working.

  • esjexe Siobhan Fitzgerald-Gibson (@esjexe) reported from Hove, England

    @virginmedia Intermittent broadband service for 24 hours, no contact or apology, and when I called your customer service rep said it wasn't on the status page because "it only affects 25% of customers." Your company should be up in front of Ofcom.

  • helenkellar Helen Kellar (@helenkellar) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia been trying to call you for days, left on hold waiting to get through, disconnected multiple times. For last few days you have issues with your line not taking calls. I need to notify you I am ending my contract as moving home. What are my alternatives? #virginmedia

  • logically_fuzzy Jonathan 🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺 & 🏳️‍⚧️ ally (he/him) (@logically_fuzzy) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @maecoloma8 @virginmedia It's awful, I'm in a basement flat so only get 4g if I sit by the window!

  • MeMyselfAndLife Ian Clifford stands with Ukraine 🇺🇦 (@MeMyselfAndLife) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @HardyShorses @virginmedia Yeah I've had the same experience. I put a formal complaint in with call centre here in Manchester

  • FragileCreature Fragile Creatures (@FragileCreature) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia We already know there aren't problems in the area. I'm complaining about a lack of customer support staff and you send us to an automated line! Ridiculous.

  • Angelsirius1 Angel sirius (@Angelsirius1) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia hi my box has code c233, i call only spoke to a computer which said it was sending a signal to mu box 30 mins later still no action.

  • SimonRusbridge Simon Rusbridge (@SimonRusbridge) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia Any idea when issues in BN14 will be fixed?

  • FragileCreature Fragile Creatures (@FragileCreature) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    I've been waiting 2+ hours for a response over WhatsApp from @virginmedia 3 hours since first trying to reach them with Broadband down. Can't work, starting to think they just don't employ any staff. Second time I've had negligent service from them. Looking elsewhere asap.

  • garypleece Gary Pleece (@garypleece) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Hi, the interruption is ongoing so I’m guessing we have faulty equipment? When I go onto the website it tells me to ‘reset’ which I do and it works for a while then goes wrong again. Can we sort a new router? Is that the issue?

  • therealsambo121 COME ON YOU ******* REDMEN (@therealsambo121) reported

    @virginmedia How does this help me being without Internet since Sunday. It better be fixed tomorrow or I'm phoning to cancel the rest of the contract. And I expect compensation for lack of service

  • therealsambo121 COME ON YOU ******* REDMEN (@therealsambo121) reported

    @virginmedia Apologies mean nothing I'm afraid . You've quoted as saying thiers an outage yeah? What's taking so long to fix it?

  • marlowkevin kevin marlow (@marlowkevin) reported

    @virginmedia is there a problem with service re Facebook and instagram right now?

  • CaroleFossey Carole Fossey (@CaroleFossey) reported

    @virginmedia your new interface is exceptionally AWFUL. Who designed this utterly dreadful ‘new’ look. Why change something that was great? It’s truly dreadful. Can’t find anything. Terrible. Did I say that already ? Zero out of 10.

  • NeilFisher80 Neil Fisher (@NeilFisher80) reported

    @virginmedia Home installation booked due to moved house. Prep work not completed so install postponed by a month with less than days notice and no explanation. Customer services told me everything except help or the truth. 1/x

  • natalieldavies Natalie Davies (@natalieldavies) reported

    @virginmedia absolutely disgusting service from you tonight! @SparkyD888 40 mins on the phone, passed to four different people all trying to do what they can to keep our custom - finally get through to cancellations, who put me on hold for ten minutes and then just hang up…

  • betija68833235 bestia (@betija68833235) reported

    @virginmedia No, this is second time that I have been waiting all day for an engineer, got new installation date on 21st November, so I will be 2 months without internet, and of course the engineer will not turn up on 21st Nov. either. I’m fuming, no option but to cancel it. Appalling service

  • NeilFisher80 Neil Fisher (@NeilFisher80) reported

    @virginmedia Filing a direct debit to a new account and completing a credit check to provide a temporary mobile hotspot is just bad use of data processing

  • NeilFisher80 Neil Fisher (@NeilFisher80) reported

    @virginmedia worst customer service experience ever. 7 phone calls lasting in total over 3 hours, transferred to 12 different teams, some repeats. Wrong info given, lack of info, no support, flat out lying, and bad processes and use of data, and no service for a month. Be ashamed

  • Danny_Lush Danny Lush (@Danny_Lush) reported

    @virginmedia Well after almost 6 hours on WhatsApp (yes 6 hours) I get given a ohone number to call , absolute waste of time, cannot wait to cancel tomorrow!!!
