    @virginmedia @richardbranson @bt_uk virgin your broadband service in waltham Abbey is disgraceful, even though we have complained you fail to resolve my problems, and are no delivering on your own contract terms. I want this resolved or released frommy contract @poppy_tompkinsx

  • annikaallen Annika Allen (@annikaallen) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I need to book an engineer to come out but every time I go through your automated system it cuts me off telling me to go online or that my hub is offline. I know it is. That's why I'm calling. There's a wire broken. It's not switched off. Pls help. Thanks 💛

  • thombie123 John Thombs (@thombie123) reported from London, England

  • paulparker81 Paul Parker (@paulparker81) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia online chat help absolute waste of an hour of my life, now on hold for 20 mins so far. Disgusting customer service.

  • TomRoss_ Tom Ross (@TomRoss_) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia Yes there are issues showing. But this is direct through the TiVo box not the app.

  • SpencerSCarter Spencer Carter (@SpencerSCarter) reported from South Ockendon, England

    Really shocked, but sadly not surprised, by the service from @virginmedia as an existing customer for many years, I’m overlooked in favour of new ones. No care and lack of customer loyalty. Will be talking about it on my show tomorrow

  • wn1wn1 jonathan walden (@wn1wn1) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia Called from Bangalore touting me to renew contract offering me upgrades but lied about cost, sorted this out, then VM continued to bill me at rate I never agreed too, then we had four days of outages, then Bangalore team just disconnect if they cannot sort out a problem

  • thombie123 John Thombs (@thombie123) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia It’s not if you fell short, you guys did fall short . I cancelled my service and it should have been cutoff on the 10th March not the 10th of Feb. all I wanted to here that it was going to be restored. #untrustworthy

  • gary2323 G.Marshall Gleghorn (@gary2323) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia All working now but customer service has been a nightmare

  • jta1497 Right Here Right Now.... (@jta1497) reported from Chelmsford, England

  • idle_h_ Idle Hands (@idle_h_) reported

    @virginmedia Forgive me if I regard your apology as disingenuous. I maintain that the phone call is unnecessary as you have all the info you require. You CAN resolve it now but you are choosing not to. Since I am forced to phone then it will be to cancel my contract. Well done.

  • Itwasjustameme 🌶 (@Itwasjustameme) reported

    @virginmedia Complete service outage

  • sunshineee9517 Sunshineeee🌻 (@sunshineee9517) reported

    @virginmedia Tbh they keep saying it will be back tomorrow and then it’s now day 13 of it will be back tomorrow . It’s absolute nonsense . Now today supposedly their whole system is down so can’t even get through to anyone 😞😡to get answers

  • PaulBrinkworth2 Paul Brinkworth (@PaulBrinkworth2) reported

    @virginmedia I’m just looking forward to Virgin issuing credits to my account and additional monies for not providing the service as promised and a serious affect on my business

  • Groovy4Gravy Graham Baker (@Groovy4Gravy) reported

    @virginmedia It's working now. The work should have finished yesterday Tuesday at 6am but us and all the neighbours had problems all day. Then again this morning problems until late morning. Do we get compensation for that? How do we claim?

  • DaryllLewis1 Daryll Lewis (@DaryllLewis1) reported

    @virginmedia After speaking to you last week regarding my 88 year old father who has had no phone since one of your engineers messed up the line,you assured us an engineer would be out to him today to fix the line,he has sat around all day waiting and nobody has again called or turned up

  • ChazVR 𝓒𝓱𝓪𝔃𝔃𝔂 (@ChazVR) reported

    @virginmedia I just attempted to phone 150 but my phone said theres a problem. We requested our services end at the end of our contract and was told it would go offline on the 27th (today) but its still online. I cant seem to access online help either.

  • PaulBrinkworth2 Paul Brinkworth (@PaulBrinkworth2) reported

    @virginmedia How on earth can I go online when I got no internet!!! When I phone your business line and select option 1, then 3 then 2 then 2 it’s a recorded message we are encountering an outage in the business broadband previously they gave estimated times but now everyday total outage!!!!

  • Itwasjustameme 🌶 (@Itwasjustameme) reported

    @virginmedia Your service is d0gsh1t and your customer service is worse. You can literally type Virgin Media in your Twitter search bar and see postcodes across the countries reporting faults. Suck a very spiked cactus.

  • JillDollard Jill Dollard (@JillDollard) reported

    On the phone to @virginmedia and to remove pretty much all my tv channels and downgrade my internet speed is going to cost me more!?!? Great customer retention 🙄🙄
