  • brandyorkshire Brand Yorkshire (@brandyorkshire) reported

    @virginmedia Please ask someone to call us to sort out the 4G Voom and get the fixed WIFI installed as per the original quote. This has been delayed for a month. Your service has been an absolute disgrace.

  • AntonioFalvo_1 Antonio Falvo (@AntonioFalvo_1) reported

    @virginmedia what the hell is wrong with the internet today? Ive had to switch the router off the 7 times its then works for 20mins or so then goes back down again. Im trying to watch the football, ive rang 150 on the phone for an hour no answer!! Whats going on?????????????????

  • NesibNesko HB (@NesibNesko) reported

    @virginmedia Internet outage again in NW2, do you know when will it be fixed?

  • DannyFiler Danny Filer (@DannyFiler) reported

    Really didn’t want to spend my evening trying to fix our new Virgin Media internet because they can’t and can’t send an engineer until 29th Dec (like that’s at all acceptable for a service we’re meant to be paying for). Why we went with them again after everything this year...

  • drtheomecom1 dr.theo@me.com (@drtheomecom1) reported

    @virginmedia has left me, a registered doctor, with a slow (1-4Mbp) internet tho I’m a fiber customer and no pho I’ve line for 3 weeks!!

  • Wallsy2k Wallsy (@Wallsy2k) reported

    @virginmedia As we have already established after the while goose chance you sent us on getting the phone unlocked there is nothing you can do to resolve the issue caused by you. Hence why I'm moving my grandad to another provider that won't disconnect him. Merry Christmas.

  • _georgey george (@_georgey) reported from Richmond, England

    Obviously never got a response from this @virginmedia

  • russelshaw Russell Shaw (@russelshaw) reported

    @virginmedia My 87yo Nanna has just come out of hospital and her BB is not working. Followed all online advice and still nothing. Been on hold for 1h so far. Appalling service. I am going to switch her ASAP.

  • nigellambe Nigel Lambe (@nigellambe) reported

    Come on @virginmedia I have now been on the phone for 2 hours today chasing up your engineer who didn’t show up yesterday. Getting kicked from one queue to the next and nobody will to take responsibility or problem solve. Not much Christmas spirit in that.

  • wendyandabbie Wendy Godding (@wendyandabbie) reported

    @virginmedia And why can’t anyone actually check with the complaint number I’ve given instead of messaging me asking what my complaint was about? Do I constantly have to repeat myself?

  • Wallsy2k Wallsy (@Wallsy2k) reported

  • Wallsy2k Wallsy (@Wallsy2k) reported

    @virginmedia Yip, just using the credit up on the virgin SIM. Nice to see that you have finally sent my grandad confirmation of his complaint, took long enough.

  • jonnypaps john richards (@jonnypaps) reported

    @virginmedia after 3 phone calls I think I have managed to sort things out and virgin has took my final bill thankfully I will never have to deal with virgin again goodbye and good riddance

  • BeagleDave1 Beagle Dave 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇩🇪 (@BeagleDave1) reported

    @virginmedia so now you see fit to block my email to your Digital Customer Helpline. I’m going to have an interesting conversation with Adam in Chief Executive Office tomorrow.. terrible service again from your company

  • CountingSheep5 Darren Ja-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-land (@CountingSheep5) reported from Falkirk, Scotland

    @virginmedia And it's back down at just 16Mbps now. It happens intermittently.

  • colinclegg Colin Clegg (@colinclegg) reported

    If you're thinking of upgrading to @virginmedia m500. DON'T do it. 5+ hours of phone calls and i'm still no closer to getting them to fix if do it works. About to demand they re-enable my old hub

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

    @virginmedia Oh now the TV is going down, getting glitches! Couldn’t be a more inconvenient time for your systems to fail

  • wendyandabbie Wendy Godding (@wendyandabbie) reported

    @virginmedia Terrible customer service, from the original order, however it seems this is the norm- especially after using the text service you provide. Honestly I don’t know how Virgin as a company actually manages to keep customers! I’ve been with you lest than a month and it’s awful

  • SpencerSchwar14 Spencer Schwartz (@SpencerSchwar14) reported

    @virginmedia utterly useless. Repeatedly requested to activate my account on a daily basis and been advised that you will get back to me within 24 hours and zilch! No Internet, no ability to do my day job without Internet. Is this how you treat potential customers? Disgusting!

  • VimBlast Mitch Cook (@VimBlast) reported

    @virginmedia How do I apply for this, it may be a stupid question since you have said it's automatic?

  • minesh_parmar MINESH PARMAR (@minesh_parmar) reported

    @virginmedia No known issues. Just poor communication and management from Virgin Media. And no help whatsoever in trying to resolve, just passed from one team/person to another before cutting me off. Hours and hours wasted and no internet. So appalling.

  • _AlexHulme_ Alex Hulme 🌹 (@_AlexHulme_) reported

    @virginmedia wired it giving me 200mbps down 21mbps up. But I still get lots of spiking in the internet. Wired works okay but the wifi is shockingly ****.

  • lewishorsey92 Lewis Horsfield (@lewishorsey92) reported from Warton, England

    @virginmedia your internet is ******* **** paying all this money for your internet service to go down at least once a week. Absolutely shite

  • ianjohnson1965 Ian Johnson (@ianjohnson1965) reported

    @virginmedia Done this, said signal in each room is Great 👍 but I know speed is poor.

  • thinkbroadband thinkbroadband.com (@thinkbroadband) reported

    @SkullNetUK @Ofcom Gigabit is premises where Virgin Media Gig1 service (which is DOCSIS 3.1) is available OR a full fibre service is available. Not sure which area, but figures suggest one where Gig1 roll-out is partial or we've not finished with our sweep of the area for Gig1.

  • Lisareal85 Lisa (@Lisareal85) reported

    @virginmedia When watch tv the screen keeps freezing distorting on all programs we have tried turning the box on and of as well as the wifi intermittently turning off there had been issues yin his area but these should have been fixed now

  • lewishorsey92 Lewis Horsfield (@lewishorsey92) reported

    @virginmedia Still having issues? It goes down at least once a week. The issue was supposed to be resolved by 2pm and it is now 3.30

  • fu113r5 𝓐𝓷𝓭𝔂 𝓕𝓾𝓵𝓵𝓮𝓻 (@fu113r5) reported

    Anyone else with #Virgin360 boxes noticed a very slight audio delay/lip sync issue whilst in playback? #VirginMedia

  • WemiCokobar We〽️〽️Y (@WemiCokobar) reported

    @virginmedia I already raised my concerns with your team, they closed my complain with no proper investigation or resolution and told me to take my complaint to the relevant regulatory body. Which I will be doing so.
