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

    @virginmedia came home to a letter today stating your increasing my bill 3.00 per month from September! What's happened to loyal customer discounts utter joke! #Nothappycustomer

  • lorraineayrton Lorraine Ayrton (@lorraineayrton) reported from Bolton, England

    Dear @virginmedia I don’t want an automated response, I want a solution. I have had intermittent internet access for 4 WEEKS and have had ENOUGH. I want to speak to a human being, can I have a number to complain to please #crapservice

  • lorraineayrton Lorraine Ayrton (@lorraineayrton) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia OK I am getting mad 🤬🤬🤬 This has been my problem I CANNOT GET THROUGH TO A HUMAN BEING. Everything is automated. When I try to call it goes round the houses and then the call drops. #lostacustomer #igiveup

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

    @virginmedia Still on the phone. Just found out the eng that was supposed to come today to fixed the frayed cables outside was a no show. Also all my smart lights have stopped working meaning the local network (not broadband) has gone down. Finally you’ve agreed to issue a deadlock letter.

  • thestuchy13 Damon (@thestuchy13) reported from Billinge Chapel End, England

    @virginmedia It's a fault you was suppose to fix yesterday at 4.15 in the area but still hasn't been fixed

  • lorraineayrton Lorraine Ayrton (@lorraineayrton) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Estimated fix time, it’s been going on for 4+ weeks and yes that is the number I am calling. It reset everything and did tests and currently running HOWEVER the next drop will be 5pmish as per the norm. It last went off at 14:53. I need a human being & cant speak to one

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

    @virginmedia Restarted twice, no problems with Internet at all. It started randomly on Monday night I thought it was going down but no it's like its telling me Internet is working but no thanks. Router is stuck where it is next to TV don't want flashing x

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

    @virginmedia So service resumed around 3pm with an email confirming it. In the last 5/10 mins the wireless connection keeps disappearing off. It’ll return for a second or two, then drop again. Unsurprisingly your status checker says there isn’t an issue despite there clearly being one.

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

    Pretty ironic when the @virginmedia Service Status page doesn’t work.

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

    @virginmedia So it looks like the router resetting was the start of a bigger issue. Router appears to be having issues again. Your diag service thinks the router is switched off but it certainly isn’t.

  • Lara__1302 LaraB (@Lara__1302) reported from Abram, England

    @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

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

  • lorraineayrton Lorraine Ayrton (@lorraineayrton) reported from Bolton, England

    @blackheartorch @virginmedia 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 is all I have to say right now. Just want to talk to a human and not deal with an automated service x

  • BrightLitegames BrightLightGames (@BrightLitegames) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Internet is down AGAIN, Queue the automated twitter response. Time to find a new provider I think!

  • thestuchy13 Damon (@thestuchy13) reported from Billinge Chapel End, England

    @virginmedia getting beyond a joke this no internet again in WN5 area after only getting it back working after 3 days last week you had better refund some of my money back and also data charge for my family's mobile network not good enough

  • wlasinclair Wendy Sinclair RN (@wlasinclair) reported from Hindley, England

    @virginmedia Yes I’ve tried a few times but I keep getting cut off when they don’t know how to deal with the query. I’ll keep trying and maybe someone will be able help!! Thank you 🙏

  • lorraineayrton Lorraine Ayrton (@lorraineayrton) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia I have tried EVERYTHING to speak to a human however the automated rubbish doesn’t let me get there. It just tells me there is a problem that you are trying to fix. Clearly I am aware there is a problem and has been for sometime I have done all usual diagnostics my end

    @virginmedia I was told on the phone from your customer service that I was still within my 30 days cancellation and I wouldn't have to pay anything. Today ive also been told via WhatsApp from your costumer service that I owe them £81 from this period. I was end of contract.

  • _holss Holss (@_holss) reported

    @virginmedia hi my street is getting new path and they’ve just sliced through my Virgin wire cable . Apparently it’s been reported. do you know how long this will take to fix as household works from home .

  • EdwardsKieran1 Kieran (@EdwardsKieran1) reported

    @virginmedia You're literally like 10 hours late. Seems like the entire UK lost connection to your services. It isnt just me having these problems. I'm sick of it.

  • nirbhaic Nirbhai Chadha (@nirbhaic) reported

    @virginmedia They have my number and can call me. As stated already I have made 7 calls so far to be promised callbacks each time which have never happened.

  • peterborochap Ian Birch (@peterborochap) reported

    Wow @virginmedia - waiting over 90 minutes now for a customer relations person - you must have an awful lot of unhappy customers!

  • kingofchezo_WBA Andrew Grainger (@kingofchezo_WBA) reported

    @ColinMoss1 @garyhumphris @virginmedia Gotta be honest Colin and I mean this their reputation and service is lower than a snakes ******* mate. No one seems to have a good word to say about them. And they’re absolute rob dogs

  • dako326 Adam Dakin (Dako) (@dako326) reported

    @TheBulb @virginmedia It'll only get worse. Awful company and the customer service is shocking
