  • faysasilva Elizabeth Silva (@faysasilva) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia I have not internet in my flat in EC1V9ET since Monday. No explanation no comment and after calling the Customer Service team every day for an update today I was told that I should not be working from home if I’m not a business.! So that’s just 👍 great. That’s why 1

  • kimweston90 Kim Weston (@kimweston90) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia don’t appreciate being hung up on by your despatch team. I’m aware of an issue today in the SE20 area, however I have had issues with my connection for the last week - could you please help since your call centre won’t?

  • marcustucker Marcus Tucker (@marcustucker) reported from Tottenham, England

    @virginmedia No coherent reason for 17 days of unusable broadband. Yesterday was told there was an SNR issue, today I was told everything is resolved but my awful bandwidth still shows otherwise. I'm now on a 3 day bandwidth check, which is at least different, possibly progress possibly not.

  • pantolady Deborah Barnard (@pantolady) reported from Bexleyheath, England

    @JulieBoon @kimbochambers I think it was a Sky problem. Ours was fine on virgin media x

  • BhaviniShah Bhavini Shah (@BhaviniShah) reported from Bexleyheath, England

    @virginmedia Thanks - it's actually a poor customer service complaint. I'll send a text. Thanks

  • marcustucker Marcus Tucker (@marcustucker) reported from Tottenham, England

    @virginmedia Your service status online tells me everything is fine, even when I run a test, while tech support can only tell me that there IS a fault and the estimated repair date has been shifted yet again, this time to April 21st. SMS updates are useless too. It's absolutely infuriating.

  • marcustucker Marcus Tucker (@marcustucker) reported from Tottenham, England

    This was day *15* of working from home with no broadband thanks to @virginmedia and no reliable information about fixing the outage, no provision of an alternative connection (e.g. 4G dongle) and many hours wasted on hold. No wonder they are worst-rated by @WhichUK - avoid! 🤬

  • jackbremer The Honourable Jack Bremer, Laird of Loch Borralan (@jackbremer) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @virginmedia All, got builders in, need to talk to someone The point I was making was your app is bad

  • jdboxall John Boxall (@jdboxall) reported from Merton, England

    Hey @virginmedia your website says no problems with Broadband in SW19 - been dropping out all morning and your own diagnostic tool says: There's a network issue which maybe affecting your broadband service. Please advise when you will fix it and update your mendacious website.

  • JP_Goddard John Paul Goddard (@JP_Goddard) reported from Bexleyheath, England

    @virginmedia what a joke! Tale of two cities. One advisor couldn’t be more helpful when I rang up with a complaint - I even ended up adding to my package. One was rude, patronising and obnoxious. I get a 14 day cool off might just cancel it. Fuming 😡😡😡

  • garyekins Gary Ekins (@garyekins) reported from Epsom and Ewell District, England

    @virginmedia Out of nowhere service stops. Everything is plugged in correctly. Restart. Nothing works. Give it a few hours and miraculously starts working again. About once a week now.

  • marcustucker Marcus Tucker (@marcustucker) reported from Tottenham, England

    @virginmedia I've already spoken to them many times including tonight and they can't do anything other than tell me that the date has moved yet again. Nobody seems to be able or willing to fix your broken status system.

  • Purp_Amethyst Maya (@Purp_Amethyst) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia guys my internet is not working ?

  • marcustucker Marcus Tucker (@marcustucker) reported from Tottenham, England

    @virginmedia Your various automated customer service systems are a horrible mess, they flat out contradict each other! It's shamefully bad & has been so for a long time so this can't be news to you. Why have @virginmedia STILL not done anything about these basic customer experience problems?

  • Sheetal_15 Sheetal (@Sheetal_15) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia any chance you could actually have an engineer call the time they said they would? Just moved to a new home and your service has been atrocious so far.

  • Jamesmeredith James Meredith (@Jamesmeredith) reported from Camberwell, England

    @CommunityFibre @virginmedia #broadband #internet I cancelled Virgin Media broadband in January due to poor customer service and very poor upload speed. Community Fibre are an amazing company! Speeds upload & down 150meg half the price of Virgin. Cust Serv outstanding!! CF!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

  • TechZilla_ Tech Zilla (@TechZilla_) reported from Brentford, England

    @virginmedia When I checked other sites like down detector it shows Virgin broadband is down all over london so how come you don’t know that?

  • marcustucker Marcus Tucker (@marcustucker) reported from Tottenham, England

    @virginmedia Surely you must agree that your service status is useless if there's a fault for 15 days but doesn't once give me a correct status? Why is the status tool broken and why is it not being fixed?

  • faysasilva Elizabeth Silva (@faysasilva) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia can you tell me why my internet connection is gone from the outside of my house? You have left me 3 days without internet for 3 days with no explanation and now when I call your customer service you tell me n a recorded message an engineer is coming and when I call

  • faysasilva Elizabeth Silva (@faysasilva) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia That might be the case for others but In Our estate we have been instructed by the engineers to call virgin for an internal switching of service as the new connections are live . The main point is I’m without service I can’t work, no TV no phone and will be until Monday according

  • lyndsey_cutler Lyndsey cutler (@lyndsey_cutler) reported

    @virginmedia Worst customer service for the last month. Noone seems to be able to help in the whole of virgin media! Currently on a call thats up to 1 hour 25 minutes and still can't find anyone who can sort our account out.

  • Donna41404754 Donna Wilkinson (@Donna41404754) reported

    @virginmedia Accessing your customer service has been one of the worst experiences I’ve had with a utilities provider. Your online systems have glitches that cause appointments to be lost and it is impossible to speak to someone. Can you arrange for someone to call me?

  • dodsy1 gemma mcmahon (@dodsy1) reported

    @virginmedia I think I will need at least another one as I have two bedrooms with no signal and they r opposite sides of the house as well as other rooms. In fact my signal only reaches 4 rooms with a booster so it’s really bad. but if u can send one I can get my daughter back in her room

  • chewzyhughes Getting Grumpy (@chewzyhughes) reported

    @virginmedia And i’am still in a never ending ‘ help’ chat with no option other than to stay in the black hole that your virtual help desk.

  • BetNav Elizabeth A Mathie (@BetNav) reported

    @virginmedia Don't hold your breath, I raised this problem on 27th December 2020 - and it wasn't for the first time either.

  • lfarmerrr Louis Farmer (@lfarmerrr) reported

    @virginmedia My flat have been trying to cancel our contract for the last 2 months, we've been unable to get through to anyone ever after complaining and waiting the 28 days you say it may take to respond. Please please please help us.

  • Oisoonsy Mr Nicholas Soons (@Oisoonsy) reported

    @virginmedia I cannot connect to that link you sent. The MacBook that keeps dropping out we have to connect via ethernet which is not overly convenient for work - we get internet dropout when it isn’t. Sky go is poor streaming and skipping.

  • Umair91334593 Umair (@Umair91334593) reported

    @virginmedia It is almost three days no one called me on my complaint. Such a bad customer service.

  • bazzafoster Barrie Foster (@bazzafoster) reported

    @virginmedia Hi there. Still having major issues and can’t get to the community page as it wont accept my email address as a user name. I really need help with this to resolve issues with my work!! Thanks

  • boredofcourse Dylan (@boredofcourse) reported

    @virginmedia I have literally been looking for the live chat option on the website for a good half an hour. Any help to find the option please?
