    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?

    Tim Cooke 🇺🇦 (@timmycooke) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia Both wired and wireless. We've had 8 engineers out, a rewire, new hub and still endless drop outs. Was told finally it was an upload issue from the amp that supplied the box on the street. But still we're having issues. The 150 number is joke, make it simple!!!

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

    @virginmedia Nobody can help me, they just keep asking for patience. They’ve had since august to fix it. It’s unacceptable.

    @virginmedia No not going through it it’s too long and I don’t have time. Just wanted to everyone know that vm is a bad company and are robbing gets. Trading standards have been told and I’m 💯 % sure that there’s thousands of people doing the same

    James (@jgrailpics) reported from Liverpool, England

    When will I be able to go just one single day without @virginmedia failing, cannot wait until next year when the contract is over, increase the bills but reduce the service to next to nothing?

  • 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…

  • ylilxanoi

    @virginmedia Yeah.. apparently its down in WN1 but nobody is telling me what's wrong or how long it will take. I need Internet to work.

    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 SIGNAL ANYWHERE I GO?! Thought being a customer of you both was supposed to reap massive benefits for me?

  • _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!

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

    @virginmedia 38 days after the repull should’ve been done? You think that’s good customer service?

  • 1AnneMcCormack
    Anne McCormack (@1AnneMcCormack) reported from Billinge Chapel End, England

    @virginmedia I tell them to ring 999 or 0151 709 6010 if they want to report a crime. They hang up but they sound South Asian and their English is poor. I worry about other oaps being conned. Good luck chasing them.

    Would love to be able to start work @virginmedia, but the Internet is down.

    @virginmedia I also play Destiny 2. I thought it may have been their servers but my boyfriend doesn't have the issue.

  • pillbo01
    kevin.james (@pillbo01) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia No as you person on 150 said you do not have a customer service that I could talk too. Your engineer said it was a fault at the box in street so I don’t know when it is fixed. But it’s not improve in the last month

  • colette2511
    Colette Ellison (@colette2511) reported from Warrington, England

    @richardbranson you really need to sort your @virginmedia company out. There nothing but robbing bastards, everything about the company is bad. 😡

  • supergran22
    Maureen StewartJones (@supergran22) reported from Eccleston, England

    @VirginMedia Received message. Now not accepting my email address. I have one only. My problem is with the remote control which is activated by pressing 2 buttons when they light up. Have had nothing but trouble with one remote for one TV. Your communication us not helpful.

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

    @HelenRuggles3 @virginmedia Helen sounds like your a pro at receiving the brush off.Can you call back in 24 hours and we will fix the problems?Then you call back in 24hours there still an issue. Only been my 2022 working from home HELL. THANKS @virginmedia for nothing.I pay my bill and don't get the service

  • 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 👍

    @virginmedia Eventually. Your customer services are a shambles. 2 appointments arbitrarily cancelled by you without any notification, and 4 phone calls, holding for a minimum of 20 minutes every time

    It's crazy that 10 years on, @virginmedia are still throttelling people's internet for no reason. Or, I guess this time it's because we're leaving them so they've said a nice **** you to us :)

    I think Virgin Media should compensate me for my wifi being down during the Fortnite Community Event

    Mick.W (@mrwood71) reported

    @virginmedia you have the most rudest and aggressive sales personnel that called me after checking your website and thinking of joining. @skytv you have the worst renewal offer after joining 15 years ago when returning from overseas service Any alternatives?

  • RealDaveMc
    Dave McGarry (@RealDaveMc) reported

    @virginmedia Hi! Since 14th Grandad has got "Title Not Available" on all channels and experiencing intermittent issues with picture. Looks like not connected to Virgin Network but only option is wired when never has been wired?! Tried hard resets on both box and router.
