    @virginmedia I would like @virginmedia to return the call they promised over a week ago addressing the fact I agreed to pay £28/month and then got charged £46/month. Are you still listening to the tapes?! My email and complaint also ignored. 😡

  • rana_banana Rana Brightman (@rana_banana) reported from London, England

    As customer service standards go, @virginmedia sucks badly. They need to seriously ask themselves, is letting someone wait 45 mins and counting for someone to help with a technical fault acceptable? NO IT ISN’T. HEEEELLLLOOOOO???!! WHEN ARE YOU PICKING UP??!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬

  • Jmiragliotta89 JMiragliotta (@Jmiragliotta89) reported from Waltham Abbey, England

    @virginmedia I have done and waiting for a technician to call me back! Nothing but issues all year! I pay £110 a month for your service and just upgraded (still waiting) to Gig1 and to be honest I’m not getting value for money!!

  • Jamie_Obertelli Jamie Obertelli (@Jamie_Obertelli) reported from Enfield Lock, England

    @virginmedia any update on the internet outage in Enfield? When I call up I get a recorded message but no info. I've missed vital work meetings today.

  • RaphPH Raph Pour-Hashemi (@RaphPH) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Ok so the estimated time of 20:30 fix this evening has been changed to noon tomorrow. How do I claim compensation as I’ve had nothing for a whole day and no one has attempted to fix it despite acknowledging whole area fault.

  • SaraBarman Sara Barman (@SaraBarman) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia To clarify : I am still waiting two weeks after the date YOU @virginmedia said you’d call me back. I’ve received another bill for almost twice what I agreed to. And my online message & complaint have been ignored. Shall I try @Ofcom next? Thanks.

  • TochiLeona_ Nwa Biafra🌅 (@TochiLeona_) reported from Enfield Lock, England

  • pauldurie p2.0 ✊🏻 🏳️‍🌈 #BLM (@pauldurie) reported from London, England

    @OwenJones84 @virginmedia @JeremyVineOn5 Usually a router issue of inefficient switching between bands 2.4GHz and 5GHz Can go into router settings and explicitly set it to 2.4GHz (lower speed/better range) or 5GHz (higher speed/poorer range)

  • SalesRemedy Terry Carney 👋 (@SalesRemedy) reported from Sheering, England

    @virginmedia @SkySportsBoxing sort the picture out. Really bad picture break up on boxing right now 😡

    @TechnoWalker @virginmedia Don’t get your hopes up Tex. I spent weeks. Trying to cancel my contract. Ridiculous company even after 10 years.

  • THoF__ The House of Flowers (@THoF__) reported

    Finally cancelled @virginmedia. Is there another company that manages to have so many customers despite having such famously bad customer service?

  • chriswatt19 Christopher Watt (@chriswatt19) reported

    @virginhelp @virginmedia What disruption to service can we expect tomorrow in the FK area? All day off or 10 minutes a couple of times during the day? Will we be compensated for expenses incurred due to this break in service?

  • Jademscholes Jade M Scholes (@Jademscholes) reported

    @virginmedia No internet since Wednesday at BD19 6 - Constantly told will be sorted by the next day and its not. Not good enough - paying for a service we rely on and you are not doing anything about it.
