    Another afternoon on to @virginmedia with absolutely no body willing to help. The customer service is as appalling as the service they provide. The sooner I can get back to @skytv the better #virginbroadband #virginmedia #con #ripoff

  • roxcreeve Roxc Reeve (@roxcreeve) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @MelanieCmusic @virginmedia @BBCTheOneShow Virgins internet is terrible I have to reconnect every device almost every day! They do nothing about it

  • divadnoryb David A Byron (@divadnoryb) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia I cannot express just how disappointed I am with your service. My broadband has been dire for over a week now. Constantly dropping out, slow speeds and just not fit for purpose. First thing I’m doing is switching providers when this is all over. Never again virgin..

  • Cod49ers Marc Tobin (@Cod49ers) reported from Grays, England

    I am getting the serious **** with @virginmedia absolutely appalling service!!!

  • M_Morgan94 Mark Morgan (@M_Morgan94) reported from Rochester, England

    Virgin Media estimated fix being 10am tomorrow, well looks like no TV for me 🤡

  • TomzEvz5 X (@TomzEvz5) reported from Wainscott, England

    If I had a pound for everytime @virginmedia went down I'd finally be able to afford my Internet bill... #virginmedia #virgindown #virgin #sortitoutlove

  • Joewilkins14 Joey (@Joewilkins14) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia any idea when you might actually fix your internet issues... it’s not like people are trying to work from home or anything! ABSOLUTELY USESLESS!!!!!

  • 0katiehunt Katie (@0katiehunt) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia my WiFi should have been activated yesterday, it still hasn’t activated and saying there’s a connection problem, help!

  • Joewilkins14 Joey (@Joewilkins14) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia I mean honestly if you want to sort your shit out, all the boys wanna do is win *** one on clubs again

  • thebooooooth Mark Booth (@thebooooooth) reported from Basildon, England

    So @virginmedia lie to you and then don't respond to you or follow up your phone request to make a complaint. Why did i ever leave Sky! The service has been shocking, wouldn't recommend Virgin to anyone

  • M_Morgan94 Mark Morgan (@M_Morgan94) reported from Rochester, England

    Atleast the lockdown can’t get any worse.... Oh wait yup Virgin Media has gone down

  • Coxy009 Ben Cox (@Coxy009) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia my internet connection is still being affected by the issue you had a few days ago! This is not good enough and I expect better.

  • TylerTowers Ashley Halliday (@TylerTowers) reported from Gillingham, England

    40 minutes on hold (so far)for @virginmedia’ customer service. Whilst loads of online options to “solve your problem” when you get through on the phone and told they need to transfer my call, you do hope they are on the case! Why did I ever leave Sky - a false economy

  • MrG48 Mr.G - Longy - Graham (@MrG48) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia your output in ME7 is shocking this evening. Having to use my 3G signal. Pc and iPad failing.

  • coxychris chris cox (@coxychris) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I hope you are going to compensate people for these issues. Mines been like this for weeks so much so that I thought it was the super hub. Looks like I may leave I’m June service is awful

  • blackbeltgooner Carl Hunt (@blackbeltgooner) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks. Really useful to give me another means of being on hold. Any chance you can provide good service and offer to contact us?

  • c_helena7 c_helena (@c_helena7) reported

    @virginmedia Yes services are down. Just spoken to customer service who was very abrupt, speaking over me and kept insisting that the fault is in the area. I should wait a few days. When I asked by when the services will be resumed, she said 24/02! This is a joke!!

  • lfc_jayj Jj (@lfc_jayj) reported

    @virginmedia need lessons in customer services no reply

  • monazamguitar Mo Nazam (@monazamguitar) reported

    Day 6 of no internet from .@virginmedia Worst broadband company ever. Do not believe their PR or ads. Even their Twitter account is to share lols and can do nothing substantial about any problem. Wastemen.

  • pwdvod Y B (@pwdvod) reported

    @virginmedia hi, I don't have my sim card and I forgot my password to log in to your website, and I need to get in quite urgently. Is there anyway to help?

  • VVendetta2020 V For Vendetta2020 (@VVendetta2020) reported

    @virginmedia I have been calling Virgin this morning. They claim on the 29th BT rejected the number being ported over. BT claim Virgin never made such a request so someone is lying?!

  • MaxNand Max (@MaxNand) reported

    @virginmedia Hiya, you sent me a new SIM which I need to use because the other one's getting deactivated. The data doesn't work on the new one. I've tried every APN setting and nothing works. Any help?

  • monazamguitar Mo Nazam (@monazamguitar) reported

    @virginmedia Your service checker is a sham. Stop suggesting it. To anyone. It simply does nothing, but it gives your dept an opportunity to placate complaints. Don't even bother replying anymore to my tweets please. You can't do anything about anything. Your dept is just a smoke screen.

  • BeardedBlue20 Bearded-Blue ⭐⭐ (@BeardedBlue20) reported

    @virginmedia Internet down again today (no supprise) - rang virgin and again was told theres an issue in the area (again) - they cancel engineers coming out when they lie about 'fixing' an issue.

  • nisar_hussain Nisar Hussain (@nisar_hussain) reported

    .@virginmedia your service in the SE5 8NY area has stopped working again. This is the third day. Very disappointed and will look for other service providers
