    @virginmedia According to your website broadband connectivity is fine and TV is experiencing some issues with certain channels. I have no broadband and no channels at all

  • beckylucydell Becky Dell (@beckylucydell) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia your service is a joke. Just taken me 32 minutes to change my bank details on the phone. Call centre staff should be able to speak the same language as your customers to a standard high enough to be able to do the job. Such a waste of time 😩😩😩

    @virginmedia No I've not I will call and cancel my package over the weekend

    @virginmedia are trying to say I owe them 2 months of bills even though I can see on my bank statement I paid last months bill. Can someone please advise me as I just sat on hold for 30 minutes only for the rude inept **** to hang up on me after placing me on hold. #fuming

  • Gemsy8382 Gemma Sargeant (@Gemsy8382) reported from London, England

    Unbelievable! My mums internet service is having problems. The call centre seem unable to deal with this. This has been going on for months. I'm still on hold. If it's not sorted today you're losing a customer @virginmedia

  • Damboye Damilola Adeboye (@Damboye) reported from Tilbury, England

  • mgrazia_baf sbruffoncella #antifa🇮🇹🇪🇺🇬🇧🌋 (@mgrazia_baf) reported from London, England

    In a world that runs on the net if you are a @virginmedia customer you have to wait 4 days for an engineer to fix a modem, installed only in November 2018. IT’S NOT A JOKE!!! Thank you for letting me loose a day of work and 3 days worth of studying. #virginbroadband

  • BenAlderweireld Mate Parlov (@BenAlderweireld) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia omds can you sort out your ‘service’

  • ahi_11 Ahilan A (@ahi_11) reported

    Paying premium for 1GB fibre but once again intermittent and now no Internet for last 18 hours since their planned work a week ago. Est fix 30th Aug! What am I supposed to do for work @virginmedia! No backup or compensation for cust not acceptable. Switching once contract is up.

  • kharmon67 Kevin Harmon (@kharmon67) reported

    @virginmedia customer service is something else. Phoned me to try and cancel our engineer visit because they have done some checks and all is fine apparently. When I asked them what they have fixed to stop video calls cutting off or games lagging, he just hung up

  • MaikM00 Miguel (@MaikM00) reported

    @virginmedia What is the issue and why is it taking 4 days to fix? 2 days into the outage and no official communication or explanation

  • CllrShellyHQ Cllr Shelly Herterich Quinn (@CllrShellyHQ) reported

    @virginmedia I’m in the States right now. Cannot use my broadband though I’ve paid. No one working on Sunday on call centre it seems. Terrible service.

  • sasouthall6 sam (@sasouthall6) reported

    @virginmedia please sort your ******* awful internet out please 👍🏻

  • CocoPhilips Dancin' French Danson (@CocoPhilips) reported

    @virginmedia @HarlysCorner @VirginMediaIE I think questions need to be asked of VirginIE why they didn't respond to Harly or anyone else in 2 hours of an internet blackout.

  • Alex79uk Alex79, OK? (@Alex79uk) reported

    @PMurphy1978 Don't have any advice sorry, but I do have sympathy. Our Virgin Media hub is absolute garbage. Goes down at least 2-3 times a week, constantly have to restart it, and we lose internet on a regular basis.

  • ILHughes_ Ian (@ILHughes_) reported

    @virginmedia Been on and off all day. None of these jssues have been noted in the service checker - which isn't unusual. Sure it'll all be sorted out before the consecutive 48 hour outage that qualifies me for compensation is up. Really useless. End of my contract can't come soon enough

  • HelenCo53499263 Helen Cooke (@HelenCo53499263) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for being so incompetent with your customer service that my brother has now spent over 6 hours on the phone in the past day trying to sort out your lies. He currently is over 40 minutes into a phone call having been passed between 8 different agents…
