    @virginmedia I haven’t but now that I have a link I will try that. Fingers crossed they will be able to resolve the issue

  • northernmicks
    Kenneth Owen (@northernmicks) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia that's the problem businesses assume customers are happy to spend their lives phoning them and be happy wasting hours and hours

  • raydeluce
    Ray Mondoosh De'luce (@raydeluce) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia It was affecting the wireless connection on and off for over 6 hrs to the point where I switched wifi off on my phone! I'll not hold my breath for today but I'll certainly be in touch if this problem Carrie's on today!

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

    @virginmedia Ah so now you’ve acknowledged there’s an issue in the area with a fix ETA of nearly 3am. So no broadband all evening. This happened last week too. This isn’t acceptable service levels.

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

    @virginmedia I don’t have a landline or a Virgin phone, I don’t want to rack up a huge phonebill calling you to sort out an issue on your side. I’ve now performed a factory reset and still not working. So I’ve ran the broadband test from my Virgin Media page and it says the equipment is off.

  • shaunbentley
    Shaun (@shaunbentley) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia I haven’t been able to find a replacement service yet so I need an extension on my end date with you. I’ve been trying to start a chat for 4 hours now.

  • raydeluce
    Ray Mondoosh De'luce (@raydeluce) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia There is an issue and it hopefully should be sorted tomorrow.

  • CharlieIDIC
    IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia disgusted. Paid until 10th August but you are telling me I have to pay more as I haven’t returned the box yet.....it’s not 10th August yet! Wind your necks in your customer service stinks

  • northernmicks
    Kenneth Owen (@northernmicks) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia so much easier to cancel direct debit without having to bother with a call

  • mdrvideo
    Mike Roberts (@mdrvideo) reported from Newton-le-Willows, England

    Cant access my business website @virginmedia keep hanging up worst customer service ever #virginbroadband #useless

  • bizzarebird
    BBird (@bizzarebird) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia But the package I have is old now it doesn't exist. I don't have HD channel for itv2. And pay so much basic phone line and Internet so pay over odds. Price increases on an outdated package. You think 10 years as a customer I could upgrade my package to a current TV one

  • Tinkerbellkimmy
    KimSmith⛳🧘‍♀️ (@Tinkerbellkimmy) reported from Risley, England

    @virginmedia Hello I spoke to retentions yesterday and my contract is going down to 78.00 something but havent had an email from you with the new details im not having any luck with online chat noone responded

  • raydeluce
    Ray Mondoosh De'luce (@raydeluce) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia There are some issues with the tv, some channels are completely un watchable, channel 4 HD & +1 for the moment, I will check the rest

  • springviewer
    John Edgar (@springviewer) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia not on all channels, I’ve turned the box off and very much doubt I’ll be turning it back on with such a poor service lately

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

    @virginmedia That’s not the point, I don’t want credit. I want a reliable service. And this isn’t reliable. My 4G service on my phone is more reliable than my home broadband. That’s not good.

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

    @virginmedia And another issue. Must be that time of the year when I seem to have numerous problems in a short time span. Now it’s saying incorrect password when trying to join the WiFi network (password hasn’t changed), or it’ll say there’s a connection problem to internet and a red button.

  • springviewer
    John Edgar (@springviewer) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia An engineer is coming out on Friday, suppose I’m going to have to put up with 5 days of poor connection #virginmedia #poorservice

  • northernmicks
    Kenneth Owen (@northernmicks) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia i telephoned because i wanted to reduce my services, the first call offered reduction to 47.95, never happened, second call refused to call me, third call apologies for lack of action confirmed reduction and a credit again nothing happened

  • thecraigthomas
    Craig Thomas (@thecraigthomas) reported from St Helens, England

    Broadband download issues a few weeks back, now On Demand TV not working for Manifest. Ridiculous time on hold to try to get through to your team. I’m not feeling the love @virginmedia

    How can @virginmedia say "yes there's a problem in your area, we expect it to be fixed on Wednesday"... 5 days is a joke when you'll never see that money returned to you for lack of service provided

  • davecarolan
    Dave Carolan (@davecarolan) reported

    @virginmedia Nope. They have now said it’s Monday but they’ve said certain days for more than a week. Currently paying for a service not being provided.

  • DecStaley24679
    Dec Staley (@DecStaley24679) reported

    @virginmedia been on the phone And on chat since 13.00. Chat gave us a quote for renewal. But now on the phone there not doing it. And the chat conconveniently keeps going down when discussing this. Waste of time.

    @virginmedia ML5 Coatbridge - Any news on fixing the problem ? Thanks

  • bondspice

    @virginmedia That's the problem, the best existing deal. Existing customers on double what new customers have?

  • Karenslate5

    @virginmedia Your absolutely appalling customer services

  • anuppatel1980
    Anup (@anuppatel1980) reported

    @virginmedia Appalled by your existing customer deals vs new. How is it that loyal customer who have been with you for multiple years get a worse deal than new. Poor! V poor !

  • Mamabear5723
    Paula H (@Mamabear5723) reported

    @virginmedia Long time for replying? Lot's of scam messages around this issue 😒 It was off for over 12hrs then the next day, it started again 5.30pm & lasted for 20 mins losing connection intermittently. It is ok now but for how long? Dreadful service 😪 😫

  • LiamWoodsXxX
    Liam Woods (@LiamWoodsXxX) reported

    @virginmedia 27 years of being with NTL and Virgin and the latest renewal offer is quite frankly disgusting. I spoke with a customer advisor and despite all the benefits/discounts being applied, a £2.45 pm reduction is all that can offered.

  • DecStaley24679
    Dec Staley (@DecStaley24679) reported

    @virginmedia Finally sorted. 4 and a half hours later. @virginmedia customer service is awful
