    @virginmedia Your customer service is shit and thankyou for destroying my driveway, Iam sorry I took out my broadband with you now. Cant wait till it finishes.

  • davidfiggins David Figgins 🌱🌎💚 (@davidfiggins) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia I start watching movies on the sky store, then around 20-30 minutes in its says there's a connection issue and disconnects completely, not allowing me to get back on. It comes back on about 5 minutes later.

  • RedElectro Red Electro (@RedElectro) reported from Warrington, England

    Well, @richardbranson @virginmedia - been a customer since the Telewest days, but the broadband service is almost unusable now. I don’t know what’s going wrong, but you’re going to start losing customers rapidly, if you don’t get this sorted.

  • basher5000 (@basher5000) reported from Standish, England

    @virginmedia Hi the app says service is fine but when using text message constantly says not delivered but I only realise when I go back in later ... I think it’s poor signal in my home because I go outside it works ....

  • hayleybaker25 Hayley Baker (@hayleybaker25) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia problems again with virgin broadband and phone in my area not good enough.👎

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia Nope. I have username already selected to my email address, password filled in on both fields, security question drop down selected and answer given in the field, and date of birth drop downs all selected. There’s nothing else I can select or that hadn’t been filled in now.

  • kimnsib kim🐝 (@kimnsib) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Doubt it, youve had £900+ a year for 11 years off me, il do without first, not being insulted again. Loyalty means nothing to @virginmedia im one unhappy customer right now 😡

  • Lisa_P117 Lisa Patel (@Lisa_P117) reported from Horwich, England

    @virginmedia starting to get sick of the rubbish service... first off my internet and now for the last week my TV doesn’t connect!

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia Adding a character and then removing that character worked. By pasting the password in, it wasn’t accepting the password regardless. It needed a character to be manually added. I’ve never seen that before on any password fields on any other site, seems like an API issue maybe.

  • Billzy79 Billzy (@Billzy79) reported from Liverpool, England

    @rteifler @virginmedia We have been a loyal customer for many years 👍😎

  • basher5000 (@basher5000) reported from Standish, England

    @virginmedia sat here with at home with no mobile service but when I use the app it says I’m getting 3G & 4G 👌🏻

  • MarkHughes_ MH (@MarkHughes_) reported from Liverpool, England

  • nathanrigby__96 Nath (@nathanrigby__96) reported from Tyldesley, England

    @virginmedia Internet went off last night in the area and it said it would be sorted for 10:30am this morning now the status has changed but still no ones internet is working, rebooting doesn’t help

  • Nathann_B Nathan Booth (@Nathann_B) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia how can I put a complaint in about poor customer service and about a technician appointment being cancelled without being told

  • Sam_Cook_1986 Samuel Cook (@Sam_Cook_1986) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia disappointed to say the least. Customer for 5 years, out of contract, bill is £120 a month, Phone up to renew and negotiate, no offers. Despite Amazon being a new competitor for sports and the mobile experience being infinitely better with them. Package cancelled.

  • TinaLawrenson Tina Lawrenson (@TinaLawrenson) reported from Chorley, England

    @virginmedia 6/12 later we still haven’t despite phone calls and false assurances we still have not got number back contacted vm whom basically said it’s my problem and here’s the number to call no help .... it’s beyond disappointing

  • davidfiggins David Figgins 🌱🌎💚 (@davidfiggins) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia The other services work fine. I have no issues with connectivity other than when streaming on demand shows/movies. The only assistance I need is for you to sort your streaming service.

  • markymark2970 mark blundell (@markymark2970) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia when I text my two people on the sky network why aren't they receiving them , I get messages from them ?

  • Baggzee1 Baggzee (@Baggzee1) reported

    Abysmal service again from Virgin Media. Two days with huge broadband problems and no ability to report or complain. Tried the phone line, recorded message, tried website says my email invalid. Tried webchat, not currently available.

  • dmanning_25 DM (@dmanning_25) reported

    @virginmedia My fibre internet has been choppy, slow and every so often, loses connection completely for 3 days now at SW19 8NP. Your check services diagnostics website says there are issues in your postcode affecting your services. Can you give me an update on this please.

  • TinyTweetSNC Rachel Barratt (@TinyTweetSNC) reported

    @virginmedia your customer service teams are so unprofessional. Can’t speak to a manager, put through to a department, on hold for over an hour only to be cut off, retentions dept booked a call with me and then never called! No broadband supposedly won’t be fixed for 7 days 🤬🤬

  • sputniksteve stephen (@sputniksteve) reported

    @virginmedia Hello. No broadband here at the moment. Online status checker says no problems, but then I get "Sorry, we can't run a test on your services right now". Any thoughts? Ta.

  • g_hamilton10 Mr H (@g_hamilton10) reported

    @virginmedia Not just that. The quality of internet service and the frequency of which I have to put up with no internet at all is not worth £15 a month let alone £150. Daylight robbery

  • sputniksteve stephen (@sputniksteve) reported

    @virginmedia OK. That's saying no issues too.

  • richie_rich77 Miss Wobble 🏳️‍🌈 (@richie_rich77) reported

    Stay away from @virginmedia. I was paying £28 a month for broadband. They ‘accidentally terminated my account’ and told me I just had to call to reconnect. When I did they are now trying to charge me £70 a month for the same, crappy service. Avoid at all costs!

  • funnyweedog Kaly (@funnyweedog) reported

    @virginmedia Why does your wi fi routers not work with Apple products Lenovo products and Sky Q .? All items report poor wi fi security .

  • GeraldP99408709 Gerald Phillips (@GeraldP99408709) reported

    @virginmedia No its a joke where I get thanks and points for joining but zero actual action. You've messed up hugely here. I'll remember the historic passing of the Queen for not being able to see it as Virgin took away my service when it was totally unavoidable
