    With the intro of new dedicated Gigabit lines in my street I can't wait to switch over and leave Virgin Media for good. 3x internet has gone down this week and I just called VM. The systems there are down and gotta call back in 3hrs..... useless

    CryptoDan2k (@CryptoDan2k) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia Are you wanting me to comment in the broadband section? Can you explain the benefits of this as you won't send an engineer out if there is an issue constantly in the area and your tech team are already aware of it, plus I have the ofcom complaint aswell?

  • CryptoDan2k
    CryptoDan2k (@CryptoDan2k) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia Hi thankyou4 replying. You offered me the piss a while back for free then tried to charge approx 25 quid a month for them.The issue is half your line and half the equipment. You can never send an engineer out as everytime I phone there is an issue in the area.Another outage today

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

    @virginmedia Trying to make a complaint - signed up to a deal I clearly asked not to be. Your website doesn’t work and can’t get through on the phone. Can someone please dm me with a way to speak to someone urgently

    CryptoDan2k (@CryptoDan2k) reported from Roby, England

    @Huawei21327032 @virginmedia They tried to charge 30quid a month for piss which isn't the issue it's a mix of virgin media kit and also the line. Spent 2 gars studying CISCO networking CCNA and they think I don't know what I'm talking about

  • SmithysMaud
    Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia No, they just left. Rang your customer service they are now telling me the problem is internal. I’ve had no internet since July, no tv since August. It’s beyond a joke now. 5 visits I’ve had.

    Has virgin media gone down? #virginmedia @virginmedia

  • ChrisFoxRacing
    Christopher Fox (@ChrisFoxRacing) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Already reported the broadband issues, and it's an issue where estimated fix times keep getting pushed back. With regards to mobile issues, this has been around the same length of time. The only way I've been able to get any connection at all is by switching to 3G

    @Benleo @virginmedia One of the worst companies I've had to deal with as well, other than British Gas. I can't wait to leave when my contract ends.

  • PetermcRed
    Peter mcgoldrick (@PetermcRed) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia I had to take them to an independent arbitration for compensation. My internet didn't work properly from day 1. They didn't fix it, so I refused to pay my outstanding bill and switched immediately to BT. They kept sending me threatening emals. I won my case.

  • PaulAllen007
    Sir Paul A (@PaulAllen007) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia Wait til you try and cancel or move house. They are the absolute pits. Never use Virgin Media people

  • georgehomiltonx
    George Homilton (@georgehomiltonx) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia After multiple calls to their call centres in recent months I have come to the conclusion that their agents run a competition to see who can get a customer the angriest and an award is given at the end of the month.

  • TessaOutlook
    TessaRestoreBritain🇬🇧🇮🇪 (@TessaOutlook) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia You should speak to @dshensmith about this, he's had some issues himself with these companies but to do with phones. He might be able to give some advice obviously not legal or watch his videos if you haven't very good information in them

  • JPF369369369
    JPF (@JPF369369369) reported

    @Benleo @geoffspark1 @virginmedia Once the broadband firms hook you in good luck even finding a number to call them if there’s a problem. BT have told me I won’t be getting by Broadband back for a week……it took me about an hour to find a complaints email then they closed my complaint without fixing the problem…..all total *****.

  • ACforReformUK
    AndyC (@ACforReformUK) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia This "quality" service is endemic in the UK these days, there's no accountability, if you got £50 for every aborted attempt, you can bet they'd get it done 1st time every time. OFCOM should punish these firms with huge fines and bring in accountability, otherwise this will just go on.

    @virginmedia Thank you Vigin Media for spoiling the end of the PGA Tournament, WIFI kept cutting out near the close of the Tournament so don't know who won, shoddy service to say the least, why should we pay for a mediocre service, not fit for purpose.
