@virginmedia not had internet, for 24 hours. I spoke to customer services at 18:00 who “guaranteed it would be fixed by 21:25” I checked this 3 times as, at that point, I could arrange alternatives to finish work for Xmas. Now I can’t and still have no internet. Appalling!

@virginmedia services in #Thanet have been off since 1am on the 23rd December and now you are pushing it back until 2pm today for a fix and still no engineer on site - that will be over 36 hours with zero updates to customers right before Christmas. What is happening?!

@virginmedia if you think I am going to be talking to my family over Christmas while my WiFi is down, you can think again. Get the engineer out here or I'm sending you shite in the post daily.

@virginmedia Why would my page have no update since 1pm? I’m only getting updates via community Facebook page and my parents. My postcode is CT10 2SW. I would also like to know why my engineer visit was cancelled and how I make a complaint.

@virginmedia I would suggest then that the service status should be updated to reflect that situation.

@virginmedia I am extremely unhappy broadband been down since 1.15pm. Booked an engineer. This has been cancelled with no explanation. Can’t book another. Service status says it’s fine but many others online in CT10 says there is an area issue. First person on phone hung up.

@virginmedia I’m not a technician, can you guys just let me leave my contract after this. Terrible customer service, even worse service, waiting to join @EE but stuck in a contract that only seems to work one way. You really are a shambles.

@virginmedia... broadband has been down all day and expected back at 5:25pm, still not working. Now, recheck the app and not expected back until 8am tomorrow! Seriously?! Why? What has happened? How can it be down for that long? Ridiculous, especially when people work from home.

@tryingattimes @virginmedia 100% correct took ages to cancel my 80yo mum's service when my dad got vascular dementia. They sent me all sorts of patronising messages on here. All designed to extract money from vulnerable people. STEER WELL CLEAR!

@virginmedia The service status page hasn’t updated since 1pm. Everyone in the area has the internet down and yet I’m being told right now on the phone there is no problem. I had an engineer booked tomorrow and VM cancelled that and now can’t send one until Monday? Awful service.

(@craig_killie) reported
@virginmedia I called on Friday night but the only time I got through to someone he was unable to forward me to the right department due to system issues. I would have assumed that once the systems were fixed you would have chased up the people affected but it appears not.

(@AmyAmiiAmy) reported
@virginmedia Yes, it says there's no issues in our area, we've tried everything now, restarted the hub, resetting the hub, but our connection is still dropping or very poor, so the issue is on your side but you're not picking up there's any issue at all.

@virginmedia Hi, there. Called up to discuss our renewal. Waited 55 mins yesterday with no answer and 45 mins again today. Finally got through, only to be told there was no IT system and to call back in 2 hours!! Really poor service. @skytv do you treat your customers like this?

(@TeaSeaLancs) reported
@virginmedia No dice unfortunately, selecting the option to talk to someone about my account just takes me back to the same options as on the customer service number and ends with the same recorded message saying to call back later.

@virginmedia trying to speak to someone for hours re my account. On hold for 53 mins, opted for WhatsApp notification when agent is free, message saying 'Sorry we seem to have missed you' - no missed call or message! Desperate to talk to someone re my bills. HELP!

@virginmedia It's been 2 months when I moved from @SkyUK to @virginmedia and its been an absolute joke of a service. I probably called Sky about 3 times in the 15 years I was with them. I called you guys about 50 times in the space of 2 months. Great service to customers.. Awesome
