  • Geates Paul Geater (@Geates) reported

    @virginmedia Nothing on page would fix it. Called this morning, your guy ran a diagnostic and said a technician needed to call Monday. This afternoon I turned on to check no other channels had gone and everything was back as normal. Waiting to check next 24 hours but likely to cancel appt

  • soarinwebber kim (@soarinwebber) reported

    @virginmedia wifi bad

  • MojoDeadman MojoDeadman (@MojoDeadman) reported

    @virginmedia why am I getting intermittent broadband service AGAIN? Once again you are preventing me from working. I don't get paid then you won't be getting paid. Sort it out otherwise you won't be getting any more money out of me.

  • norton_cettina Cettina norton (@norton_cettina) reported

    @virginmedia Clearly the number is still active who i wouldnt have spoken to virgin customer care staff on that number. If it was ceased why do you still have it connected to your centres. Ceased means no longer existing so i shouldn't have even been able to dial it.

  • HannaHealy Hannah Healy (@HannaHealy) reported

    It is impossible to get any support from @virginmedia, 3 support platforms and can't get an answer on any of them.

  • MMSSPP9 . (@MMSSPP9) reported

    @virginmedia @Nasrin163 The strength is extremely poor.Out of data now so forgodsake fix it

  • thisissean Sean Gardner (@thisissean) reported

    @virginmedia No problem, yes tried that. No vpn or antivirus running. Was previously working, nothing has changed this end. Sometimes it loads with intermittent glitches and then error message appears. Not sure if our V6 box is the issue.

    @virginmedia iv had nothing but trouble for the past 2 days with connection. No way of getting through to anyone to talk about the issues!!

  • norton_cettina Cettina norton (@norton_cettina) reported

    @virginmedia Or at least you should have an automated message saying this number doesn't exist. Unless your crediting the money to my account then no no help has been provided.

  • Kyla4u Kyla4u (@Kyla4u) reported

    @Virginmedia I eagerly await your response/poor excuse/"solution" instructions meant to distract me that won't work. Whichever you feel like.

  • mathew_rudd Mathew Rudd (@mathew_rudd) reported

    @virginmedia Hello, do you have a number to speak directly to a human I’m having no luck with your automated telephone service and online troubleshooting. My internet has no connectivity and you’ve overcharged me on my bill.

  • robxhelm Rob Helm (@robxhelm) reported

    Currently getting the pish ripped out of me with @virginmedia prices, can anyone recommend a decent internet provider? Feel like everyone I've ever used has been terrible in some way :'(

  • WayneMartin1987 Wayne (@WayneMartin1987) reported

    @virginmedia WiFi is ******* ****!! Keeps cutting out every 30 seconds, lost count of how many phone calls its been and nothings changed!! Quickest thing about them is the speed at which my money leaves my account each month to pay for this **** service!! 🤬

  • Ellismorgan3 Ellis Morgan (@Ellismorgan3) reported

    @virginmedia WiFi is awful, service status says it’s fine but the WiFi doesn’t work. How can the service status says it’s fine? Come on virgin fix you problems

  • birchplease Thomas Birch (@birchplease) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks. Each day I contact support. After a back/forth they “refresh signals”, it works for a bit and then I have to contact you again. I can only assum that you’re throttling me. I pay for 200mb but your own speed test rarely reads above 45mb. Please can you fix.

  • DareWolfRL DareWolf (@DareWolfRL) reported

    ANOTHER evening pulling only 5mbps @virginmedia. We pay for 200. Every time the ******* football is on. Newsflash, some of us dont want to suffer for others to watch some overpaid wankers kick a ball around. Sort it ******** out.

  • Rubeking_gaming Rubeking 👑 (@Rubeking_gaming) reported

  • fatfish59 Neil Fisher (@fatfish59) reported

    @virginmedia When are you going to fix my mother in law’s virgin phone line fault? She is 84 and lives alone. Had a heart op early December. Not had a phone line since 23rd December. Ant speak to a human at your company. Disgraceful service.

  • ElJaffoGuzman Dave! (@ElJaffoGuzman) reported

  • Tonsdelia Tonia Christopher (@Tonsdelia) reported

    @virginmedia The film was purchased through the tv box and I’ve been told we won’t be charged for it. I’ve also been told someone is monitoring my line and will call me in 3 days. I had further problems last night watching normal TV. I’ve also reported problems with my internet regulatory

  • TeamLeota Johnny-Liana Leota (@TeamLeota) reported

    @virginmedia hey guys, can you help me out please. My internet isn’t working and I want to change my package. It won’t allow me to log into my account and your phone lines aren’t available. Thanks

  • missyelliott69 Lisa Elliott ✞ 🏃🏾‍♀️ (@missyelliott69) reported

    @virginmedia internet has to be the worst. I’ve spent the last week resetting, buffering and cursing the day I signed up to their bullshit lack of capacity service.

  • Lemonerw Lemonerw (@Lemonerw) reported

    @virginmedia hi - connection has been slow and unreliable for months. Assume worse now everyone is at home, when can I expect the recent “upgrade” to make a difference? 200mbps I’m getting maybe 1.5?? Tried ringing/help faq’s but no luck. Help please!

  • bodz156 Ian Bowden (@bodz156) reported

    So, today @virginmedia have sent me an email containing a code to free Amazon Prime for 12 months (after 3 months of mithering them for it). Only trouble is the email says I have to use the code by 31st March...2020 🤔 Unless I'm Doctor Who, this is impossible! #Incompetence

  • MayaElbDesign Maya Elb Design (@MayaElbDesign) reported

    @virginmedia abysmal service from start. I’ve moved house and now only have internet in one room and have now been charged extra for a booster I was told would be free. Can’t seem to resolve this with any advisers who all tell me different things, 3hr wait on the phone
