  • sheradondublin Sheradon Dublin (@sheradondublin) reported from Margate, England

    Morning @virginmedia, I’m starting to become a little fed up with your current business model. You take my money, but supply a less than reliable WiFi service. Will it take a cancelled direct debit to get your attention? Please fix. 😡

  • SamRSparrow Sam Sparrow 🇪🇺 (@SamRSparrow) reported from Broadstairs and St. Peters, England

    @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.

  • bobvoyage Bob Voyage (@bobvoyage) reported from Margate, England

    @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.

  • jsfuller75 Jason Fuller (@jsfuller75) reported from Broadstairs and St. Peters, England

    @virginmedia Is there a fix for your customer service as no one seems to want to help me on your messaging service.

  • sheradondublin Sheradon Dublin (@sheradondublin) reported from Margate, England

    @virginmedia The new box arrived, and the WiFi sorted itself out for now at least. The boosters are still generating the old network also. I’m planning on leaving everything as it is till it goes wrong again, then I’ll call.

  • MagicIce Magic Ice (@MagicIce) reported from Broadstairs and St. Peters, England

    @QueenieandBlue @RageDarling @virginmedia Im with virgin media mine goes down with really really bad weather like we are having now. But apart that i carnt complain about the service. Because my sky goes at the same time as virgin does in the bad weather.

  • Jackd_cpfc Margate Jack (@Jackd_cpfc) reported from Margate, England

    @money4nuffin @virginmedia This is the 1st issue I’ve had with them in fairness and not happy with the way they are handling it. Other than screen shots of other peoples phones I’ve had no updates

  • D4nBu7ke Daniel Burke (@D4nBu7ke) reported from Broadstairs and St. Peters, England

    I sent a email to @virginmedia on the 15th January, I was given the following Complaint reference: C-150121161 And promised contact within 28 days, by my counting it’s been 2 months.....

  • D4nBu7ke Daniel Burke (@D4nBu7ke) reported from Broadstairs and St. Peters, England

    @virginmedia Nothing at all, I would like the complaint looked at today and I want a call or email. Not sms.

  • Dan13lBurk3 Daniel Burke (@Dan13lBurk3) reported from Broadstairs and St. Peters, England

    @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.

  • SamRSparrow Sam Sparrow (@SamRSparrow) reported from Broadstairs and St. Peters, England

    @virginmedia Already done it and there is an outage in the area and now saying won’t be updated until 9.30pm? How am I supposed to work?

  • jimmygreen83 James Green (@jimmygreen83) reported from Margate, England

    @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.

  • als_adventures Al's Adventures (@als_adventures) reported from Chestfield, England

    @virginmedia He has a letter as a review. So we need to speak to someone to cancel it. He’s being charged each month according to this letter. Goodness knows how long for.

  • als_adventures Al's Adventures (@als_adventures) reported from Chestfield, England

    @virginmedia can you please give me a way to contact you. You are charging my elderly Uncle for a mobile he’s never approved. For years. I can’t get through the line cuts me off. This is not acceptable

  • sheradondublin Sheradon Dublin (@sheradondublin) reported from Margate, England

    Hello @virginmedia, is there a way I can talk to someone about my WiFi problem this morning.

  • SamRSparrow Sam Sparrow 🇪🇺 (@SamRSparrow) reported from Broadstairs and St. Peters, England

    @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.

  • SamRSparrow Sam Sparrow 🇪🇺 (@SamRSparrow) reported from Broadstairs and St. Peters, England

    @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.

  • SamRSparrow Sam Sparrow (@SamRSparrow) reported from Broadstairs and St. Peters, England

    @virginmedia service down in CT10 area, loads of people reporting this on social media etc but service status says it is fine. Can you please look into this ASAP?!

  • rde42 Bob Eager Eur Ing #FBPE 🇪🇺 🇪🇺 🖤 #RejoinEU (@rde42) reported from Herne Bay, England

    @AgiBergman @JolyonMaugham @virginmedia They are both awful at customer service.

  • nghudson Nigel Hudson (@nghudson) reported from Preston, England

    @Jess_Guth @virginmedia @virginmedia are the pits!!! Dreadful customer service and they’ve tried to charge us for a phone service we terminated 3 months ago!!! 👎🏻🤬

  • jimswanstonlive Jimmy Swanston (@jimswanstonlive) reported

    @virginmedia Also they said they send me new router and engineer would come but now I’m sure they changed my MAC address for my router as when I go into router settings there are unknown devices now on my network

  • LM_Coups Laura Coupland (@LM_Coups) reported

    So yesterday you finally came out @virginmedia ! But did you fix it it? No! Of course you didn't. But the nice engineer who came to my home reassured me they should come back out today to put a new cable in, so I wasn't feel to upset till...

  • shaq_dat ShaqDat (@shaq_dat) reported

    @virginmedia I used the link. They ignored the complaint about the cable pull and told me I should wait until 11pm for service issues in the area to be resolved? Great.

  • tee_ade10 Tee Ade (@tee_ade10) reported

    @virginmedia I’m really disappointed with my service so far. I am a brand new customer, since I had my box delivered on Tuesday I’ve had no connection! I’ve been told to wait until next Monday for someone to come out. What a great start 🙄 you were recommended to me as well 😢

  • BlackmoreNFFC Rob Blackmore (@BlackmoreNFFC) reported

    @virginmedia Advice on billing when the whole reason for my call is to speak to a manager to cancel my contract without early exit fee due to poor service in my postcode. Other residents of this area have successfully done so. I was told on two occasions I’d get a manager call back. Nothing.

  • Aranbaal Steve ♿ 💙 (@Aranbaal) reported

    And once again @virginmedia is down. Always says no issues in my area. Then run the test and it says issues. This time it keeps trying to tell me my hub is not connected. No engineers till monday, it's my only outlet to the outside world. Being housebound disabled sucks at times

  • SwannyMediaMan Dave Swanton(Swanny) (@SwannyMediaMan) reported

    @virginmedia Still not working!!!!!

  • CloudGamingDad Lee (@CloudGamingDad) reported

    Complained to @virginmedia about fault on broadband,agent on phone tries to upsell me faster speeds without testing line for fault,engineer visits property to find fault on the line .....shocking and appalling customer services by the agent on phone !! BEWARE !

  • Ajs_29 SeKo__ (@Ajs_29) reported

    @virginmedia Hi after your network work still no internet connection! Le3 1bn

  • caoimhec caoimhe (@caoimhec) reported

    @virginmedia Someone called May (I believe) called me out of the blue last night after my phone calls yesterday to say they would be the person managing my issue & would contact me the following day...its now 1:30am. I'm gonna guess May isn't calling!
