    @virginmedia I'm not sure this is the 3rd box. It's the one with the router in same room. Re advice remotely got message saying problem could not be solved.

  • SmithysMaud
    Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia I reported a total loss of service on 31/8. It was finally fixed this morning. After no shows, lies and weeks between visits. They have not even offered to cover the cost of my last 3 dd’s which I wish I hadn’t paid as I had no service whatsoever

  • CryptoDan2k
    CryptoDan2k (@CryptoDan2k) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia Not really checked today as not working, nans funeral is at 1120. You need to get an engineer to my house next week. I'm paying the bill and not getting the service, not really fair is it.

  • SmithysMaud
    Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia Yes, this has been going on now for months. Was just on to your team to cancel, they hung up on me. I’ve never known a more woeful service. They are quick enough to take payment every month for a service I’m not getting.

    Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia Can you check that I will be receiving a credit on my next bill as it has been down since Friday afternoon and I don’t think it will be fixed by 12pm today, I think that time will get changed again.

    @virginmedia your red button service is absolute dogshit you either get the wrong commentary or it doesn’t even come on! 🤯🤬

    Kevin Dudson (@Duddydudson) reported from Wigan, England

    @NigelJTurner @virginmedia Same for me, I can cancel or change my package by the 28th of march then get a 19% increase on my new package on the 1st of April. Only had my contract 5 months.being **** Turpind here!!!

  • LindzDDub
    Lindz Devine (@LindzDDub) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia I have to say your Internet connection is ridiculous... for months on end, it's been shocking. I'm sick and tired of resetting my hub, I shouldn't be having this issue. Never had so much issue for the years I've had you and now, the past 6 months, I'm paying monies…

  • SmithysMaud
    Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia can someone help me please? I’m about to lose my ****. Never ever known anything like this company. Now telling me lies on WhatsApp. Saying i logged an issue weeks after engineers had already been out to find the fault. Refusing compensation after 4 mths no service.

  • tuite_liz
    Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia my internet has been down since Friday afternoon. I was told it would be fixed in 24 hours, the time has since changed and is currently at 8pm this evening. I work from home so need my internet back up and running before Monday morning. This is disgraceful

  • LindzDDub
    Lindz Devine (@LindzDDub) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia @virginhelp I've never had this much issue as I have had today. I'm plugged in on ethernet, I've reset my hub, and checked my area and there is no issue at all. My WiFi is working from my hub but yet its booting me out of Destiny 2 and not just that but the chat parties on PS5 itself

  • CryptoDan2k
    CryptoDan2k (@CryptoDan2k) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia You have literally sent me the same link of what I have just screen shot to you to ask me to do the same thing again of the point you have just addressed. 😡😡😡 Fix the bloody problem and get an engineer to my house!

  • LawAspi
    TheAspiLawStudent #NoReturns (@LawAspi) reported from Chorley, England

    @nerdscav @the_hinchy @virginmedia Yes because a WiFi extender will fix the issue when it's the incoming line and not the hardware 😳. The routers gives a 3ping and 1GBps connection. The issue is virgin's crappy network 👍

  • ylilxanoi
    🥔 A bean has no name 🥔 (@ylilxanoi) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia We have. Multiple times. Your agents don't know how to help. Spoke to 3 different people. I'm getting contant update emails. I don't need to check the service. I know its down. This is beyond ridiculous. I work from home, I can't do my job because of your terrible service.

  • SimpaticoGem
    Gemma ≅ (@SimpaticoGem) reported from Walkden, England

    Tell me why with my @virginmedia wifi and my @O2 phone contract, MY WIFI CUTS OUT CONSTANTLY AND I HAVE NO SOGNAL ANYWHERE I GO?! Thought being a customer of you both was supposed to reap massive benefits for me?

  • CryptoDan2k
    CryptoDan2k (@CryptoDan2k) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia Yes, as discussed many a time. Without fail occasion I phone there is a fault in my area and you will not send out a technician. This circle can not seam to be broken. This is why you have failed to get an engineer out to me for months and months.

  • alandean1878
    Alan Dean (@alandean1878) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia Everything struggles to stay connected to the Internet. Mobiles, laptops, the TV's. I'm not sure if the speed is an issue as I haven't checked it. (I'm not sure how to.)

  • _samhowell
    ⚒ Sam ⚒ Warrington Hammer ⚒ (@_samhowell) reported from Warrington, England

    Also @virginmedia need to remind their call centre staff that customers are not idiots; the guy I was talking to had no idea why the link wasnt working so asdvised me to "Try again after 5, if its still not working call back" wonder if he managed clock out bang on 5?

  • _samhowell
    ⚒ Sam ⚒ Warrington Hammer ⚒ (@_samhowell) reported from Warrington, England

    Trying to sort mum n dads new phones, @virginmedia are sending me up the f'in wall and round the f'in bend! YOUR CONTRACT SIGNING SITE ISNT WORKING and the staff dont seem to comprehend this! PLEASE SORT YOUR **** OUT ASAP!

    @virginmedia Hi my virgin tv hasn’t worked for 8 hours I’ve rung the number and it says it’s a fault at your end and you’ve got engineers on it. Can I suggest getting new engineers it’s still not working #refundplease

  • MaverickMark
    mark palmer (@MaverickMark) reported

    @virginmedia over a day of outage on TV. Broadband is awful always. Get message of its & issue with time to fix. You’ve now just moved back multiple times. Current one says will be fixed hours ago. No contact. I guess also won’t compensate the hundreds of thousands hiding from

    Phonetix (@RobPhonetix) reported

    @virginmedia What about those of us repeatedly requesting our myvirginmedia account be unlocked for the last 6 weeks (& even lodged a complaint about it) who are STILL unable to access our accounts with no explanation?

  • theGROWcompany
    Rachel Rosser (@theGROWcompany) reported

    @virginmedia Regardless of the actual problem, it seems the company is totally inept. Why was your incoming call message not working, why was the on hold musac playing the same one track for an hour. Why did it take so many hours for any public announcement?

  • rebeccaann1989
    rebecca ann jarvis (@rebeccaann1989) reported

    @O2 hi is there a reason why I keep getting asked to link a virgin media account to use my o2 account when all I want to do is use my rewards towards my data bundle next month, neither of the apps will just let me use my phone number to login and use my rewards

  • smevergance
    Stuart Mills (@smevergance) reported

    Received letter from @virginmedia saying my bill was going to DOUBLE from June. My services have not changed. An increase of over 100% is just ridiculous! Tried to call VM but after 30 mins of waiting in the call queue I gave up. guessing that lots of people are calling to cancel
