  • FionaGraham Fiona Graham (@FionaGraham) reported from London, England

    @ProfWoodward @virginmedia I can believe it. That’s outrageous - and clearly they don’t need the business. Which given the expense of their broadband + TV package seems about right. If it’s any consolation - it’s down a lot, and the speed we get is constantly being throttled, even before covid.

  • RogerCole10135 roger cole (@RogerCole10135) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia we done that, all connections are in to the box, your company network thinks that we are connected via router this not so, but has a cable run into the house.

  • dietmarlen Dietmar Lenden #FBPE (@dietmarlen) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia What a surprise had internet from midnight and now it has stopped again. Waiting to get through to support and on hold safe for 30 minutes. You must be making a fortune on people calling.

  • dietmarlen Dietmar Lenden #FBPE (@dietmarlen) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Well surprise surprise. The WiFi is down again. 6 weeks in a row. Call Centre hing yo when passing my call to a manager. Poor service. This is now unacceptable. How do I complain (other than @Ofcom) about this poor service. Why is the service so awful now.

  • dietmarlen Dietmar Lenden #FBPE (@dietmarlen) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia An engineer will be sent on Saturday. Second one in a week. Trying to use the chat function to load get a complaint and it disconnects. The agents do not seem keen on taking a complaint. I have been happish with tservice for few years now but it has deteriorated in last 6 weeks

  • londonpommie Paul N (@londonpommie) reported from London, England

  • goonerlgh Lawrence Hooker (@goonerlgh) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I rang back until the office was open. Router being changed (after reporting problems for several months) My tweet was to say it'd be good if the answerphone message gave the Opening time so people know when to call back...

  • JennyIllmann Jenny Illmann (@JennyIllmann) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia is there a fault checking service I can run on my TiVo box or a contact number I can ring to speak to sometime about my picture signal please?

  • smevergance Stuart Mills (@smevergance) reported

    I can’t believe that @johnlewishelp now has worse customer service than Virgin Media or Vodafone. Truly terrible. #badservice

  • clnsbnsn I am Joe King (@clnsbnsn) reported

    I'll tell you what is not happening, again! Virgin Media broadband! Called them 3 days ago cos signal regularly drops, they replaced router with one that doesn't work at all! They said their system won't add the router to account! WHO PAYS FOR THIS NON SERVICE?

  • johnboyjm John Middleton (@johnboyjm) reported

    @virginmedia why does your broadband keep going down it’s crap it works then don’t then does what’s going on

  • JohnPaulBruce1 John (@JohnPaulBruce1) reported

    @virginmedia @MartinSLewis @joelycett Any help with dealing with these fraudsters?

  • MagicBonson andrew bonner (@MagicBonson) reported

    @virginmedia your Internet service is appalling. Its been intermittently bad for a few years now despite you trying to fix it multiple times and now we're 3 days with no Internet - 3 people working from home rely on it. Sort it out ffs.

  • PaulWilson95 Paul Wilson (@PaulWilson95) reported

    @virginmedia @richardbranson virgin media are a disgrace!!! You make it impossible to leave your over charged shocking service. Fastest WiFi??? Aye OK pal. It doesn't even cover my MASSIVE 2 bed flat! #robbingthepublic

  • JohnMor97232403 John Morgan 💙 (@JohnMor97232403) reported

    @virginmedia I will state again, that either there is a problem with the router (hub4) or Virgin is not giving me 1gb broadband. I have had to purchase a Wi-Fi extender since moving to hub4, costing me an extra £100.

  • PhilipBadley DiamondNine (@PhilipBadley) reported

    Does anyone work in virgin customer services today? 30 mins and still waiting #virginmedia

  • tylerhalford Tyler Halford (@tylerhalford) reported

    @virginmedia absolute rubbish. Virgin purposely make it difficult for you to get hold of them. They do this as they know the service they are offering is poor.
