    @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

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

    @richardbranson you really need to sort out your company @virginmedia they a robbing gets. That company is bad in all areas. Some advice for people trying to cancel record everything for proof as they say they have cancelled it then send you loads of bills 😡

  • agarnett
    Adam (@agarnett) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia Is there any way to tell if there are signal issues in your area? This says i should get 4g indoors and outdoors, i dont though i can barely access mobile internet from my house. Last 3 months have been awful

  • 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.

  • GaryBan47314801
    Gary Banks (@GaryBan47314801) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia This is not the first time. The service the last 12 months has been shocking And now you're asking for the over the top increase in monthly payments 😡😡😡

    Before covid came you was brilliant @virginmedia but ever since then you have been really **** and if it not sorted by next Sunday we are leaving you it literally 2023 and you still got **** service

  • 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…

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia See thread above, nothing changes except the time of the estimated fix. It must be very localised as not everyone in my area is affected. So if it is damaged cables, I haven’t seen anyone out repairing them over the weekend, it’s a joke

  • SharronRawlinso

    @virginmedia had a link to change my password and every combination I’m trying says strength invalid. Help.

    @virginmedia Or put me through to a manager or try to be remotely helpful in keeping me as a customer, im trying to sign an 18 month contract to give you money every month which I could just give to someone else I will not let this lie till i have my money back!

  • 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.

  • 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 SIGNAL 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 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!

    Nottmsteve 🇬🇧 (@nottmsteve) reported

    Had an appt this pm for @virginmedia to come for this phone line transfer. It's bad enough that they want a 5hr window, even worse when they don't show up. Went to lodge a complaint but tells me I'm not the a/c holder. It's been in my name for over 30 years! I'm not best pleased

    @virginmedia are you having problems in Dh47ln area my internet hub will not connect so we have had no internet this afternoon I’ve tried to reset it with no luck

  • christobinsings
    Cristoir Toibin (@christobinsings) reported

    @virginmedia absolute shambles of a service today, missed the football and now no Internet again for the last hour. Happy to send me 4 messages to say you've fixed "the issue" Time to move to another provider.

  • Itsdippylive
    Dippy | Brig Content Creator (@Itsdippylive) reported

    Virgin Media broke their agreement, then breached the formal complaint resolution about it within 6 days. Their own staff told me the complaints process has "limitations" and to take it to social media. So here we are 🧵

    @joshstirz No one I play with gets the issue just assumed you was on virgin media aswell interesting , no fibre available in my area so I guess I’m just handing out free wins / map leads vs west players forever now

    Joe Farrugia 🇬🇧🇲🇹🇪🇺 (@JoeFarrugia) reported

    @MaxiedotVox @virginmedia Same here! Terrible Wifi, can hardly get any work done. I liked Virgin for its speed but now the services terrible. In New Malden (Greater London).

  • The_real_Jambo_
    Jambo (@The_real_Jambo_) reported

    @virginmedia @officialprendie I live in this area and lost connection about 20mims ago. Router is flashing red. I work from home, how long will this take to fix?

  • ChokeLever
    Teddy (@ChokeLever) reported

    @giffgaff Tbh I didn’t chose @virginmedia because their reviews are poor. I should’ve known better as it was still their engineer who failed to show up. #Frustrating, but for #giffgaff not to have any means of rectifying the issue is unacceptable. I am being penalised as a result.

  • PeteBradders
    Pete Bradbury (@PeteBradders) reported

    @virginmedia @DisneyPlusUK I have been a customer of yours for 25 years and upon the most recent contract renewal, you denied the package I opted for because it was for 'new customers only' and then went on to charge me with a bill for £124! A colossal 34% increase! Loyalty means nothing!
