  • PaulRegent1 Paul Regent (@PaulRegent1) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia no internet available in Bolton - must be an outage as, although coverage is very poor, it isn’t usually this poor!!

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia I have a booster. It was sent to me last Spring because of previous problems with TV in this room.

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

    @virginmedia Thanks. Very frustrating and time consuming. Spent whole afternoon trying to sort it. Twitter not really the best way to resolve issues especially with an 82 year old.

  • Slt4K SLT4K 👨🏻‍💻 🇬🇧 (@Slt4K) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia / Super disappointed after calling to renew my contract and as an existing customer you can’t offer anything half as good as a new customer. Shocking customer retention strategy 🤯

  • Duddydudson 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!!!

  • BLTwitchy Berni Turner 🖤🌹 (@BLTwitchy) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia No I’m not an idiot it was during covid I’ll go back and find it . The chief execs office rang me personally as I’m disabled

  • timmycooke 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!!!

  • IK11A17 Imran khan (@IK11A17) reported

    @virginmedia been trying to call you guys for few days but hold time is a joke. I've been with you for years never missed a payment. When ever I do get through to someone no customer service is given. No loyalty for older customers just the same fishing for new ones with offers

  • tonymcshane33 Big T 33 (@tonymcshane33) reported

    @virginmedia Both their internet and customer service are appalling .

  • marlowkevin kevin marlow (@marlowkevin) reported

    Virgin media, the service in Muswell Hill tonight was rubbish. Our catch up service non existent. Our bill for this HUGE. Very very unhappy customer.

  • RachelOTstudent Rachel (@RachelOTstudent) reported

    @virginmedia Yes it’s fast internet - when it’s not dropping the signal 😳. Struggled to stream on a 350mb package as the signal dropped so frequently. Absolutely infuriating and not fit for purpose.

  • illbiteyounow . (@illbiteyounow) reported

    @TarunDe31566490 @virginmedia Why? He never owned Virgin media so how would that help?

  • kickasshunter43 kickasshunter43 (@kickasshunter43) reported

  • Wzsheddd WorstPlayerEU (@Wzsheddd) reported

  • kellythe1st ♡kelly♡☃️ (@kellythe1st) reported

    @virginmedia virgin wifi is terrible. It's broken or slow most of the time. Mines actually started working for about 2 months and now is back to it's normal crappiness

  • SORTEDSHAUN18 SORTEDSHAUN (@SORTEDSHAUN18) reported

    @virginmedia How can you suspend someone services where we're on lockdown kids can't go to school and have to online learn. This is disgusting because someone is a few days late with a bill shocking customer service no wonder a lot of people change suppliers.

  • JayDeeKas Jay (@JayDeeKas) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia @libertyglobal you should actually take the time to read some of the comments: Invest in your customer service - it is beyond awful, you might as well have nothing. Reward legacy customers. Provide better routers. Short Term NPS Up => Long Term Profit Up! So simple.
