    @virginmedia I pay £50 a month for my WiFi and Internet, any particular reason it keeps going down.....??

  • statto95 David JS Dawkes-Hall 💙 (@statto95) reported from Hoyland Nether, England

    And the 4th time today everything has gone down. How am I meant to run a medical company control room when my Internet keeps dropping out? @virginmedia are you going to pay the company for loss of income which is being suffered? Or me for that matter.....

  • chococlaire77 Claire Stewart (@chococlaire77) reported from Sheffield, England

    Well @virginmedia what a waste of our time today,we booked an engineer in the time slot 8-12,and nobody arrived I’m afraid.Tried contacting you,and can’t get through...can anyone help?

  • cathgray23 Catherine Gray (@cathgray23) reported from Horbury, England

    @virginmedia We got the first bill, the customer service guy was still answering my calls and he promised we wouldn’t be charged for TV. We were! Our next bill still has TV on and he is not replying to emails, texts or voicemails. One of the reasons we agreed to switch was personal service

  • whittickdiver paul whittick (@whittickdiver) reported from Sprotbrough, England

    @virginmedia after five years of custom you would rather me terminate my contract that provide me with the new router that you promised me as part of my new deal! Diabolical service!

  • cathgray23 Catherine Gray (@cathgray23) reported from Horbury, England

    @virginmedia We discussed the Oomph package which I initially agreed to then changed my mind within the 14 days, informed the customer service guy, by phone, text and email, he said he would cancel. The engineer came and documented that TV had been refused and therefore didn’t install

  • goonie2008 Andrew Lee (@goonie2008) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia @O2 Its definitely you lot Robin as your broadband service was a disgrace when I moved to you and I had to pay out for cancelling contract early. If this is what’s to come O2 then you will a customer of over 15 years.

  • pidgpie Chris,,,, (@pidgpie) reported from Rotherham, England

    @virginmedia mandatory internet down again S65

  • 0ssettTerrier Paul (the original Ossett Terrier 🐶) (@0ssettTerrier) reported from Ossett, England

    @carltonnash @virginmedia Good luck! Unless they're trying to retain your business, they're as bad as @sky

  • cranworth791 Sam Millington (@cranworth791) reported from Rawmarsh, England

    @virginmedia Yeah that’s fine, or just a phone number / person to deal with? It’s my parents business and they have their property engineers coming out to view the issue on Monday. I assume they will be in touch themselves regarding the issues. Luckily it’s just rain water, and not sewage.

  • philbaz12 🎼 Phil Johnson (@philbaz12) reported from Doncaster, England

    @virginmedia Here’s hoping that we get a call back tomorrow, just been on hold with the chat bot ? No resolution as of yet. The new billing is generated on the 4th. Let’s hope it gets sorted. The agent offered us a deal based on what Sky offered us. Previous Sky customers of 10 years #SkyTv

  • ReeceBryan94 Reece Bryan (@ReeceBryan94) reported from Wombwell, England

    @virginmedia how do we get the new wifi extender pods or a new Virgin Hub? Our wifi signal and speed changes dramatically between the front and back of the house, the coverage is dreadful

  • cathgray23 Catherine Gray (@cathgray23) reported from Horbury, England

    @virginmedia The mobile no. of the customer services chap who sold us the package. I’m not bothered about the phone line I just don’t won’t to be paying for TV we don’t have and I can’t phone virgin without my phone line or I’ll be charged.

  • southwestmarine SouthwestMarine Agency (@southwestmarine) reported

    @virginmedia Yes there no issues ! apart from poor service

  • bgerrans Benjamin Gerrans (@bgerrans) reported

    Hi @virginmedia, I tried to cancel my internet with you over your online chat system a few weeks back. However unfortunately your staff took so long and put me through so many different teams that before I could actually get it cancelled I had to leave to catch a train. 1/2

  • adrianotarquin adriano tarquini (@adrianotarquin) reported

    @virginmedia I suggest anyone who is thinking signing up to this company don’t!!!! I been with them 15 years and no loyalty what so ever I recorded the rude call and will post link here so people can judge for themselves

  • JackieThomson70 Jacqueline Thomson (@JackieThomson70) reported

    @virginmedia you should be ashamed. No phone line but can't send an engineer until Wednesday. Vulnerable person on her own with community alarm which is now unable to connect. I just hope she does not need this service before Wednesday or that will be on you!!

  • Mikec653 Mike Coackley (@Mikec653) reported

    @virginmedia More delay, customer service said at 9am they could see an order of a new hub in the system, now never an order and all works fine. Dismissed your own technicians failure report and told me to wait for an engineer to arrive with a new hub in another 5 days. Any help?

  • Brad28980738 Brad (@Brad28980738) reported

    @virginmedia i had loss of service for 35 days and your team is offering me only £66.50 in compensation? the ofqual scheme, says £8.40 per calendar day after 2 days of it not being repaired, even at a low estimate of 30 days thats £252? how is that fair?

  • debbiegray74 Debbie Gray (@debbiegray74) reported

    @virginmedia Just tried it through Google Chrome and still same issue. Link works to take me to your home page, but no pop up.

  • CloudXElite Megan Kenway-Head (@CloudXElite) reported
