    @virginmedia absolutely regret going with you. Nothing but trouble ever since we joined 😤🤬

  • Oscarmeg Michael Dugdale (@Oscarmeg) reported from South Shore, England

    @virginmedia Repeated wifi failure causing issues trying to stream any catch up or live channels. Wifi drops at random intervals. Poor signal strength through my property. Failure to organise the booster as promised way back in September. Failure to call me back after request for my number.

  • TheICC_Sandra Sandra Jane Eyre (@TheICC_Sandra) reported from Southport, England

    Feeling let down AGAIN by @virginmedia, 8 days ago an engineer finally identifies the problem is external cabling, another hour call on Tuesday and still no idea of a fix date or a call back, in the meantime constant broadband drop out #unacceptable

  • Billyburdess3 Billy burdess (@Billyburdess3) reported from Blackpool, England

    @tizo59 @virginmedia Was this fixed I have the same problem

  • GeminiAli Ali (@GeminiAli) reported from South Shore, England

    @virginmedia keep me on hold for 40 minutes then answer and cut me off. Shocking service. Ive tried to update online and get told I have to call. Twice I've been cut off after being on hold and or answered. Conveniently can't email either 😡😡

  • Bismurff Lauren Fox (@Bismurff) reported from Warton, England

    @virginmedia having issues in the Warton area... been trying to call but there's no answer - all the online help did nothing. Are issues happening everywhere? #virginmediadown

  • Oscarmeg Michael Dugdale (@Oscarmeg) reported from South Shore, England

    @virginmedia your service for the price I pay is a bloody joke! I can’t watch a film on the cinema channels I pay for without it pausing every 30 seconds to buffer. There’s no technical help available. I want my subscription money back thank you!

  • SammyKnowlesX SJK (@SammyKnowlesX) reported from Banks, England

    @virginmedia And no response on my second, and then an incorrect bill, this is why someone is meant to be ringing me to sort it out and deal properly as I’m so angry with the service received

  • LentilLover Christine H (@LentilLover) reported from Blackpool, England

    @OrganisedPauper Terrible service from #virginmobile #virginmedia is this the best you can do?

  • Seasiderdario dario (@Seasiderdario) reported from South Shore, England

    @Kiwion @virginmedia I'm constantly having issues with virgin as well. It's so shitty

  • Oscarmeg Michael Dugdale (@Oscarmeg) reported from South Shore, England

    @virginmedia No, that’s never been given to me as an option

  • archer74376245 archer (@archer74376245) reported from South Shore, England

    @virginmedia @BAFTA Great broadband absolutely lousy customer service been trying to sort out something on my account since March so had to cancel and go to sky what a shame they don’t care about existing customers

  • GayToryJon Jonathan (@GayToryJon) reported from Blackpool, England

    @virginmedia The work has been completed within 2 hours, which is commendable. Have checked my postcode and sadly you don’t offer a service here, even though it’s only about 20 feet from where they have just been working.

  • TheICC_Sandra Sandra Jane Eyre (@TheICC_Sandra) reported from Southport, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for your reply, the issue is the cable from our house to the road. Needs a construction team, I understand it may take a few weeks but zero comms. Everything I call the tech dept they want to sell me a booster!

  • TheICC_Sandra Sandra Jane Eyre (@TheICC_Sandra) reported from Southport, England

    Great service from online service (text) and very helpful call from technical support today from @virginmedia, new hub on way to hopefully resolve issues #customerservice #FirstWorldProblems

  • ChrisRColne Chris Rushton (@ChrisRColne) reported from South Shore, England

    @virginmedia is internet down in Lancashire?

  • webbynfluk Raymond Webster (@webbynfluk) reported from Penwortham, England

    Problems in PR1 can anyone help me out my boss will think I'm skiving @virginmedia #preston #virginmedia

  • SammyKnowlesX SJK (@SammyKnowlesX) reported from Banks, England

    @virginmedia I’ve spoken with someone in the new development team who’s advised they’ve escalated all my complaints and someone should be ringing me directly to take through and fix everything. However no response

  • TheICC_Sandra Sandra Jane Eyre (@TheICC_Sandra) reported from Southport, England

    @virginmedia The 4 people I spoke to seemed to think they were running late from the visit last Thursday, lady I spoke to was helpful and was calling the tech that visited the problem, another 5 days later and still no update!

  • sam_forsyth87 Samantha Forsyth (@sam_forsyth87) reported from South Shore, England

    @virginmedia we are having lots of issue with our broadband. This has been for days now ! Please contact us. We have tried and tried to get through. Very frustrated customer !

  • Joscrivener2 Jo scrivener (@Joscrivener2) reported

    @virginmedia Not to mention the three additional times we have phoned and finally jumped the hoops in order to speak to the correct adviser.... to then be cut off! Like I said, really poor customer service 😕

  • kellyrose 🤷🏻‍♀️Kelly Rose🤷🏻‍♀️ (@kellyrose) reported

    @virginmedia hi, I have no broadband connection and when trying to book an engineer online, am getting an error message when trying to confirm appt (and nothing available until Saturday which is completely unhelpful as I work from home…) can you help please?

  • NGRhodes Nick Rhodes (@NGRhodes) reported

    @TomNomNom @johnmclear @bt_uk Sadly not much choice here, no OpenReach FTTP until 2024 earliest and Virginmedia are crap in our area too.

  • DanielleLoueeez Danielle™ (@DanielleLoueeez) reported

    @virginmedia I now have no service, trying manically to figure out what I'm going to do tomorrow as I can't work without internet. I tried raising a complaint before which was swiftly shut down. I desperately want some kind of refund for this terrible service.

  • JonathanPetsch Jonathan Petsch (@JonathanPetsch) reported

    @virginmedia myself and both neighbours have no broadband, Bittams Lane, Chertsey. Website says there are no issues. Out for over an hour now. Anything you can do please?

  • sophialouiseXX Sophia-Louise ♡ (@sophialouiseXX) reported

    @virginmedia The account has my email on it but I never receive any email nor can I log in as I don’t know the account number or passwords. I’m don’t know the account holder personally I just brought the house from him and the contracted was to be swapped to my details when it runs out

  • Hash1981 Ash (@Hash1981) reported

    @virginmedia Just got hung up for the 5th time what is the problem with your customer service team? @virginmedia @ofcom

  • NeilTullyRE Neil Tully (@NeilTullyRE) reported

    @virginmedia I wasn’t given any resolution option despite raising same complaint 4 times. I can’t escalate to #CISAS as complaint not open over 8 weeks. No way of tracking complaint as account closed. Promised callbacks, no one does. Put on hold forever, 35mins today, until I give up

  • Joscrivener2 Jo scrivener (@Joscrivener2) reported

    @virginmedia The only advice we were given is set up a new email address and shrug off the lost correspondence. That is not a good long time solution is it???

  • Izzy2503 BizzyIzzy (@Izzy2503) reported

    @virginmedia If only ur teams were communicating with us as promised, maybe I'd be able to tell you. We've just spent 1h trying to contact support on multiple channels with no success. Not a great first impression.
