    Chris 🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺 (@strutcakes) reported from Lambeth, England

    Called Virgin Media to complain about the TV box not working and to get it removed from my package. Somehow ended up singing another 18 month contract with the TV box included but at a reduced price. Not ideal but not horrendous.

  • Nigelellway
    Nigel Ellway (@Nigelellway) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia I have no broadband or phone, your online checker doesn't work and neither does your helpline. What's going on?

  • wysiwyg100
    Mr. Whizz (@wysiwyg100) reported from Lambeth, England

    @virginmedia as usual I’m afraid your comedic bad wifi has translated into a comedy of errors for me to cancel my contract.. pls can someone get in touch

  • kevinri00714924
    kevin richardson (@kevinri00714924) reported from Poplar, England

    @virginmedia So someone fraudulently set up an account in my name. Because I don’t know the password to something I didn’t set up I’ve now spent 5 hours on the phone to 5 different @virginmedia reps and a debt recovery letter. Never use @virginmedia #badcustomerservice #stress

  • leighbooker
    Leigh Booker 🐈‍⬛ 3.5% #FBPE #FBPPR #GTTO (@leighbooker) reported from Welling, England

    @virginmedia It has just come back on. The annoying thing is your website said no problems, so I went through the usual, unplugging, checking cables etc. only for the website to be updated later. I should have learned by now.

  • BaldockPatricia
    Patricia Baldock (@BaldockPatricia) reported from Lambeth, England

    @virginmedia oh and further to my last tweet quite a few of us in the block have had enough now so don't be surprised if we leave and go to someone where we do actually get a service and probably for less money

  • BobCratchitt
    Andee Byford (@BobCratchitt) reported from City of London, England

    @virginmedia Well I guess as it went down Wednesday afternoon and if all goes well back up tomorrow we will automatically qualify.

  • ferdi_rezvan
    Ferdi Rezvan (@ferdi_rezvan) reported from Blackheath, England

    Your website for checking status is not loading. Can you verify if there are known issues with broadband in the se3 area. Thanks @virginmedia

  • hillmandan
    Daniel Hillman (@hillmandan) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia So after 10 days and loads of phone calls I’m still without any virgin services . For a communications business you are very poor at communicating to your customer and as for the complaints link 28 days to respond is a joke. I bet my bill arrives on time though !!! #whatajoke

  • MiaZagica
    Baltazarka (@MiaZagica) reported from Lambeth, England

    @virginmedia Never had we have such a terrible Internet service. Absolutely NEVER. "Can't find server.", for whatever page we want, day after day. Then it finds the server; next minute - puff! Gone! Absolutely abysmal.

  • gorgeousuk
    anne hill (@gorgeousuk) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia I did and it said the service was ok. It’s now working after several times of going onto Amazon. I just don’t know why the service has become so poor recently

  • Champion3Claire
    Claire Champion (@Champion3Claire) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia I think you will have to agree this is an unacceptably long time for the repair as it’s already been going on for days?? “There's a TV issue in xxx. Thanks for your patience while we work to fix things as quick as we can. We hope to fix this by 14 March at 16:00”

  • catt_hurman
    Catt Hurman (@catt_hurman) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia have been passed to 4 different people across 4 hours and still waiting on a simple answer to my question. Why is it so hard to get some help?

  • markselondon
    Mark 🌈🏳️‍🌈 (@markselondon) reported from Blackheath, England

    @virginmedia Broadband down again this morning in SE London, got through to customer services and they advised the outage expected to be fixed by 12th April. No compensation offered and I would have to pay a penalty to cancel my contract.

  • markselondon
    Mark 🌈🏳️‍🌈 (@markselondon) reported from Blackheath, England

    @ttastev @virginmedia Website is down also I can’t get anyone from virgin media, looks like whole of U.K. is down.

  • joozuk
    Julie Compton (@joozuk) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia absolutely sick of the lack of service over the weekend- trying to watch catch up and it constantly crashes, then doesn’t remember where I was actually up to. This isn’t good enough. What is going on? If it’s not sorted asap I’m off to @skytv

    @virginmedia absolutely sucks. They won’t even help me unlock my email and I’ve apparently been blacklisted for not doing anything???

  • miaKJKJ22
    mia (@miaKJKJ22) reported

    @virginmedia @entrustTMF Do you think it's funny?? People pay for service which you cannot deliver

  • miaKJKJ22
    mia (@miaKJKJ22) reported

    @entrustTMF @Gary1165 @virginmedia But what did they tell you? What type of issue this is? Router? When I go on their app to check connection in my place, it says all perfect. But I've no connection!! I can't wait few days as I'm working from home

  • shauny67
    Shaun (@shauny67) reported

    @virginmedia @paulpresenteruk Never use ring door bell over WiFi why cos only works on 2.4ghz & Virgin like all providers combine 2.4 & 5ghz together would need to split them & set a static IP address for the ring door bell on 2.4ghz. best option is ethernet to a POE switch for data & power

  • mikegormley2003
    Mike (@mikegormley2003) reported

    @virginmedia WIFI been down for a few days, engineer comes, says he can’t fix it and leaves. No proof he was here and nothing to say he’ll fix it! Shockingly poor service DD5 1EJ

  • Purple67Florida
    🇬🇧💃Kitty Fisher🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿💋🌺🇬🇧🇮🇱💜✡️💋 (@Purple67Florida) reported

    @NotFarLeftAtAll Said it many time whilst speaking to a customer service rep at Virgin Media . Absolutely pathetic.

  • Csihra
    Carol-Ann Sihra (@Csihra) reported

    @virginmedia Open a complaint which doesn’t get replied too. Phone calls promising a follow up call which doesn’t happen. Terrible customer service

  • entrustTMF
    entrustTMF (@entrustTMF) reported

    @virginmedia OK, leaving aside the fact it seems pretty poor that I haven't had a reply from the original agent for four days now I'm happy enough to send a repeat of it IF I don't need to faff about going through security yet AGAIN? IF I do-I'll just wait for a reply to the original DMs. OK?

  • SophieAlexis30
    Sophie Alexis (@SophieAlexis30) reported

    @virginmedia just installed internet and been told we need 2 boosters it’s been a week and a half and still yet to arrive. Can anyone help in chasing them please.

  • Neek49
    Monique Bissell (@Neek49) reported

    @virginmedia I understand, however your estimates keep extending without any end in sight. We don’t get this service for free. We pay for it. At what point do you let us know that it is broken beyond repair and we should move on. I can handle us breaking up for good, promise
