    This is what I get for being a customer for over 8 continuous years and then 5 years before that. This is awful customer service by Virgin media. #Virginmedia @virginmedia

  • Keefidentity
    Keef Gibbs (@Keefidentity) reported from Merton, England

    @virginmedia Your service is pathetic. Been on “hold” since 10am this morning. Awful! I’m cancelling my account.

  • AntonBrooksAMB
    🔰 Brooks 🔰 (@AntonBrooksAMB) reported from Merton, England

    @virginmedia At this point i might as well get dial up. Virgin Media completely down in the Merton, London area. Been faulty since Mid June and still not fixed. Why?

  • timplumb
    Tim Plumb (@timplumb) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @virginmedia Download speeds in SW18 are down to 5Mbps (on a 200Mb account) after works in the area earlier in the week. Called to report the issue only to be told by a message to wait 24hrs to see if the issue resolves itself. Can you please log the issue? Thanks.

    @BlaakRichardson @virginmedia Getting out of this contract is on my summer list. Service here is definitely not on US levels for anything.

  • Phil_Swallow
    Philip 🦅 (@Phil_Swallow) reported from Croydon, England

    @redheadlass1402 @virginmedia We’ve got the business service but it’s no better. They don’t seem to have any proactive monitoring or fault prevention and pretty much don’t care. They have a 3 hour service level that passed 12 hours ago, totally useless bunch of money-grabbers

  • willjennings80
    Will Jennings (@willjennings80) reported from Lambeth, England

    @virginmedia You're internet is down *again* in sw9 and your internet service checker page does not work on mobile phones

  • nicktippett
    Nick Tippett (@nicktippett) reported from Croydon, England

    @virginmedia Might I add that the last handler in pre install stated he was a 'senior' and he was incredibly rude, talking over me and trying to tell me what my problem was!

  • safctinders
    Tinders (@safctinders) reported from Worcester Park, England

    @virginmedia Abysmal service. Pay a premium for this stuff and nothing but aggro; TV freezes, ages to boot up… been sat here 20 minutes and still “starting up”. **** show.

  • Champs707007
    Stephen Champion (@Champs707007) reported from Wandsworth, England

    Really losing my patience with Virgin media now. Down for 8 days been told 3 times it’ll be fixed within 24 hours but won’t send an engineer out

  • declan1968
    Declan Higgins ☘ (@declan1968) reported from Southwark, England

    @virginmedia Oh yeah. Nothing that explains why it keeps happening though. Fix dates are usually meaningless. Feels like we're being rationed.

  • JoanaLoGomes
    Joana (@JoanaLoGomes) reported from Merton, England

    Hey @virginmedia. Any chance the Broadband issue is getting fixed soon in SW17? I’m working from home tomorrow, so this is a bummer really!

  • Phil_Swallow
    Philip 🦅 (@Phil_Swallow) reported from Croydon, England

    Time to ditch @vmbusiness I think, unreliable service & weak support

  • guydorrell1
    Guy Dorrell (@guydorrell1) reported from Wandsworth, England

    So @virginmedia wifi down in SW18 2 for the third time this week. Don’t ask me to check your status dashboard, this happens EVERY week. It’s a constant, systemic issue, please get an engineer to come out & look at local box. Paying £130/month for terrible service, fuming 🤮😡

  • Phil_Swallow
    Philip 🦅 (@Phil_Swallow) reported from Croydon, England

    @vmbusiness outage estimated fix date is 20/09. What planet are you lot on?

  • aaronuart
    R. Aaron (@aaronuart) reported from Merton, England

    @virginmedia I rebooted, called the number, it says there is a known issue in my area and engineers are working on it. Does this take 5 days to fix? I try the status online and it tells me everything is fine but it isn’t. Is there anyone looking at this. I’ve never had an issue last this long

  • Deano1969
    Deano (@Deano1969) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @virginmedia please sort your systems and processes out. I was due a call yesterday to discuss a complaint. Only to not receive it and for you to replicate the same error. #virginmediadown

  • Ashley_Rhysss
    #AshTag (@Ashley_Rhysss) reported from Southwark, England

    The service from @virginmedia is utterly dreadful. Had Wi-Fi issues so they sent someone out to rectify. Worked for 2 days then the same issues started again. Not had working Wi-Fi for the last 3 weeks. If your thinking of going with them for tv / internet, go with someone else.

  • Miss_Toppin
    Miss Toppin (@Miss_Toppin) reported from Croydon, England

    Dear @virginmedia HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO WORK WITH NO ******* INTERNET? Saw your engineers on the road this week. Why have you not fixed the problem? Whatever licence you have needs to be revoked immediately.

  • aaronuart
    R. Aaron (@aaronuart) reported from Merton, England

    @virginmedia I have had internet issues since September last year I have called up too many times to count and once again internet is out in SW19 and now you want to rise your prices. Please can I get a solution and not one that means a technician cancels last min today!!

  • DeviateDefiant
    R.L. MacMurray 🇬🇧 (@DeviateDefiant) reported

    @DeviousPL @virginmedia @MoneySupermkt Yeah their C/S is absolutely atrocious, I'm basically 'grandfathered' into VM from when their network was the only way to get more than about 8mbit down. These days the DOCSIS/coax setup is vastly inferior to any OpenReach FTTP, with fibre directly to the socket.

  • HoMcArdle
    Craig McArdle (@HoMcArdle) reported

    @LutzSchueler How about just getting one service that works @virginmedia Profit over customers. No service + charging customers = instant profit. Well done you

  • DeviousPL
    invs86 (@DeviousPL) reported

    @DeviateDefiant @virginmedia @MoneySupermkt It’s mind-blowing anyone is still using Virgin, they are absolutely awful, network is held together by string and tape and customer services do their absolute best to infuriate you - either dropping the call, long holds or arguing. “Technical faults” are a weekly occurrence.

  • thefelourfog
    simply lee (@thefelourfog) reported

    @Simon_Whale @virginmedia Virgin was fine for me for the first few years then last 6 months of contract was nothing but issues ,was glad to be rid of them

  • octoexp490
    krono aka a dogtor in 2 years (@octoexp490) reported

    @DeviateDefiant @virginmedia @MoneySupermkt Telecom contracts in this country don't make any sense to me. Anywhere else in the world, the more loyal you are to the operator, the better deals they give you to keep you as a customer.

  • RevQntmBigfoot
    THE Rev. Quantum Bigfoot ♿️ #FLTG OG Anti-RGB OAP (@RevQntmBigfoot) reported

    @sephiroth17181 @virginmedia Had this for a long time in 2 areas - both had street cab within 25m of property. Would constantly lose connection & engineers left me with a box of up & down attenuators to bring signal levels back into sync.

  • Jess_Simpson645
    Jessica Simpson 😺🐶🐾 (@Jess_Simpson645) reported

    @virginmedia thank you for offering help via a DM, but you have sent me quite a lot of the exact same messages now - only one was needed. I have already told you that one of your engineers is coming out tomorrow to check everything is okay and get everything working properly. At this point I will only need to contact you if the engineers visit isn’t successful.

  • Phoenixrahman
    Phoenix Rahman (@Phoenixrahman) reported

    @virginmedia @RA0307J No companies know how to treat loyal customers anymore. Was with VM for over 20+ years. They acknowledged that but they did not try to keep us. Glad I moved away from them. Companies are all about greed now

  • snaggygecko
    Michael Davies (@snaggygecko) reported

    @virginmedia can not believe that a agent wanted to factory reset the router when a customer calls up with an issue he I have a errors on bbc and slow speeds , even though I work for virgin media . Absolute nightmare need to get a engineer out to resolve the issue
