    @virginmedia I'm seriously thinking of holding my direct debit up. it MIGHT stand up in court now. time of service, against time of service PROVIDED. I'm paying for a POOR, POOR service.

  • Horwichbloke

    @sinners40 @virginmedia As soon as I saw an engineer messing about with the service box in front of my house, I knew I'd be in trouble. Supposed to be a upgrade to my service. Going well isn't it!

  • Knitswithbeer
    knitswithbeer🐝 (@Knitswithbeer) reported from Euxton, England

    So. I've now had 3 @virginmedia techies in 2 days tell me they've resolved my issue. That remains to be seen. It in no way excuses the engineer no-show 🤬🤬🤬

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

    @virginmedia epic broadband, crap TiVo ... shocking my box every couple of weeks / less doesn’t work and I have to restart. The package I pay for isn’t value for money and calling up to report issues is painful, 35+ mins I was on for last time!

  • pendo86
    Dan the Man 🏳️‍🌈 (@pendo86) reported from Rainhill, England

    The internet is so shockingly shit at mum’s house. Can’t even watch Netflix without it buffering every 2 minutes. Please sort it out @virginmedia!

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

    @virginmedia Is there an issue in area 20, no TV or Wi-Fi

  • Knitswithbeer
    knitswithbeer🐝 (@Knitswithbeer) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia No. I don't think it's a broadband issue but it certainly has me foxed. I feel it's an Android version issue.

  • Knitswithbeer
    knitswithbeer🐝 (@Knitswithbeer) reported from Euxton, England

    @virginmedia The issue has been constant for 2 weeks. Option 2 at the second press is when calling about an account different to the one I'm calling from.

    Virgin media broadband fails again telephone and broadband went off around 2pm still no service not two months goes by without it failing think twice before you sign up

  • Knitswithbeer
    knitswithbeer🐝 (@Knitswithbeer) reported from Euxton, England

    @virginmedia And the problem yet again wasn't solved over the phone. Wouldn't admit who cancelled or why. Did admit could identify 'frequency issues' Company full of ignorant eejits

  • LIAMREILLY20
    LIAM REILLY🌹 (@LIAMREILLY20) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia Signed up with Virgin to save money, offered Sky movies for 3 months, not told to cancel myself 30 days before 3 months up, didnt need it Anyway as i had it on netflix, now have to pay double for 2 months. Very annoyed with Virgin...

  • Knitswithbeer
    knitswithbeer🐝 (@Knitswithbeer) reported from Euxton, England

    @virginmedia There are a couple of threads I've contributed to. I'll try to post the one I looked at this morning and posted the same comment I tweeted. My point is that it shouldn't be a one at a time fix.

  • Knitswithbeer
    knitswithbeer🐝 (@Knitswithbeer) reported from Euxton, England

    @virginmedia Sick and tired of this now. Acknowledged there was a problem, sorted it*, asked me to monitor gor a week and if not working they'll then send a man out. *still happening ffs

  • SteveHaylesALAW
    Steve 🎗🎗 (@SteveHaylesALAW) reported from Walkden, England

    @virginmedia is there any issues in the M28 area. I have no phone or broadband but your app says service status is ok

  • bigjeast
    John Eastham (@bigjeast) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia why is your internet always dropping out in the wn3 area. 4 weeks on the bounce now. Latency and speed test are poor too.

  • Knitswithbeer
    knitswithbeer🐝 (@Knitswithbeer) reported from Euxton, England

    @virginmedia TBF, I have been trying to get to the solution for over a week. I have other things to do you know...🤨

  • Knitswithbeer
    knitswithbeer🐝 (@Knitswithbeer) reported from Euxton, England

    @saoirse_22 @SamsungUK @O2 @virginmedia It appears to be a security certificate issue but I can actually access the certificate details on my phone. So, stumped but learned how to do something I didn't know I didn't know... #JoHari

    Rose Cooney (@rosecherished) reported

    @virginmedia Tried the community which gave suggestions regarding all the troubleshooting I’d already carried out as if I’d go there first without trying everything first & ringing up VM or Apple just sends me back down the same rabbit holes without listening

  • jonathan_bannon
    Jonathan Bannon (@jonathan_bannon) reported

    @virginmedia @BigIssue Why do people sell the big issue for years and years, the guy outside my M&S has been there longer than most of the staff?

  • peterjnola
    Peter Nolan (@peterjnola) reported

    @virginmedia 2 hours wasted. Bowled over by how bad this is. They did confirm I've been mis-sold though but nobody willing/able to do anything to support

  • peterjnola
    Peter Nolan (@peterjnola) reported

    @virginmedia Why is it not possible for you to get a complaint handler to call me. I'm without an important service having been mis-sold a product by you. Baffling that nobody is trying to sort this

  • PauloPampolin
    Paulo Pampolin (@PauloPampolin) reported

    @virginmedia you work there should know. but the “engineer” who was here said that he needs to run the cable. how do you sell a product and fail to deliver?

  • JT_Schmidt
    Jakob Schmidt (@JT_Schmidt) reported

    @virginmedia I can not remember who I spoke to but this is now getting kafkaesque and borderline fraudulent. I tried to text the bot using the number you provided about canceling and after I waited a full day to get an answer I just got a text which started the whole the process again.Poor!

  • DixieJessop
    Alan Jessop (@DixieJessop) reported

    @virginmedia She has wasted most of her day already so if its not going to be today please advise I am at a loss why everything is so slow and difficult

    A rodent by anyother name is just as squeak (@OdeanMarik) reported

    @virginmedia For over a MONTH I've been trying to get fixed the call barring feature that blocks private calls coming through. Each time your agent says there is an issue at YOUR end, it's fixed and IT NEVER IS! nothing gets done! Now AGAIN on phone 40+minutes waiting!! @MartinSLewis
