  • paulrussell90 Paul Russell (@paulrussell90) reported

    @virginmedia I've been talking to bots all day and they have told me they can't resolve mu issues leaving me no other choice to cancel. Only wanted to have a quick chat over the phone but that seems to be too much to ask for.

  • Emmalouh501 Emma (@Emmalouh501) reported from Halton, England

    @virginmedia I’ve called 7 times in just over a week. Pitiful service.

  • HengroveAFC Hengrove Athletic FC (@HengroveAFC) reported

    @virginmedia down again nobody's interested at virgin this is the sixth time

  • SPB69 SteveB (@SPB69) reported

    @virginmedia That's 268 days from signing an agreement and the installation date. I'm sick of being told it's a priority, just lip service.

  • lionmanwb Wayne Berry (@lionmanwb) reported

    @virginmedia just had 360 upgrade, 3 boxes. Each box shows up ALL recordings but i don't want that! I want my box to show my stuff, living room to show mums stuff etc. How do i do that. Please don't tell me i can't cos my ocd can't accept it and I'll cancel the lot

  • Dan05226694 Dan (@Dan05226694) reported

    @virginmedia yet again a technician appointment booked and no one turns up. Months of internet issues with no resolution. Sod this, I’m going to @SkyUK

  • 0eroDay Christian - #StandWithUkraine 🇬🇧🇺🇦 (@0eroDay) reported

    @virginmedia still not working

  • markbradlewis mark (@markbradlewis) reported

    @virginmedia How about you start automatically refunding customers for loss of service, instead of doing nothing unless long winded claims are made...just a thought alas customer service is long since dead ..

  • PortillosJacket Bobby Dazzler (@PortillosJacket) reported

    @Sabine_Figaro @virginmedia Hi mate, same. They always book a technician then cancel it 5 mins after as they say 'issue resolved' this has been happening for 2 weeks, there is no way the issue is resolved. Phones earlier and they said there is no national problem, clearly there still is

  • FM80556085 F M (@FM80556085) reported

    @virginmedia are you going to fix these issues or what? Service down again, second time this week

  • SPB69 SteveB (@SPB69) reported

    @virginmedia You have to be kidding me. Priority!! More lies. Absolutely useless, beyond fed up with the service I have received. I'm off work next Thursday when it's supposed to be installed, I'm working on the 28th. Unbelievable.

  • hkaur319 Harpreet (@hkaur319) reported

    @virginmedia your representative was very rude and hung up the call. He said he was unable to help resolve my issue. Is this the service you provide?

  • Leeopie1 Lee Opie (@Leeopie1) reported

    @virginmedia Still having issues, no customer support, engineers not turning up, no response on the chat, phone system cut me off. There’s no one to talk too. Richard Branson should be ashamed of himself putting his name to this joke of a company. @virginmedia @MoneyTelegraph

  • kiac2802 Kieran (@kiac2802) reported

    @virginmedia hello 👋 has the Internet gone again? Mine has just gone off and won't come back on after a reboot, can't be a bill issue because that was quick enough to come out of the bank

  • ashleybrazier7 ashley brazier (@ashleybrazier7) reported

    @virginmedia broadband down again for the 3rd day, multi million dollar company, surely this should be fixed now

  • Kamikazerub TheJrue (@Kamikazerub) reported

    @virginmedia is the worst Internet provider I've ever had, all due respect.

  • gcxb Dan⚔️ (@gcxb) reported

  • tomwtwit Tom Wright (@tomwtwit) reported

    @virginmedia So how's the "fix" coming on? Can we expect it this year?

  • rachel_penman rachel penman (@rachel_penman) reported

    @virginmedia just wondering what is going on? Signal constantly dropping out every few mins. Got new router. Even worse! Can’t ring you on landline because it cuts off due to no signal! Same on mobile! This has been going on for MONTHS!! will signal disruption be sorted anytime??

  • david962011 David Montgomery (@david962011) reported

    @virginmedia My virgin Broadband has been down all day I’ve had to book an engineer and having to pay for that plus my bill it’s been 3 days for me now this is a joke

  • oneandonlySon1 The Son (@oneandonlySon1) reported

    @Emmalouh501 @virginmedia Mine was more down than up for 2 weeks about a month ago. Awful. My TV is via broadband and you know what kids are like with phones/tablets etc. Engineer out and fitted some connection into line. Think an engineer unplugged something at the box to get new cust online. Pricks

  • RhiannonHacket2 Rhiannon Hackett (@RhiannonHacket2) reported

    @virginmedia hiya are you having outages in Thanet, Kent by any chance. Because my internet keeps disconnecting this week and it’s driving me mad!. Tried the usual trouble shooting but because it’s connected it’s coming back with good results. Then it will just randomly freeze…

  • Shaun1878_ Shaun (@Shaun1878_) reported

    Hi @virginmedia, do you have any British people working in your call centres ? In two days I've spent over 2 hours on the phone talking to people who haven't got a clue what they are doing sort this **** out
