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

    @jenwahkiddles @virginmedia Pity they didn’t do it for us, had no tv or broadband for over 3 months and can’t even get the compensation they owe us, plus the direct debits they took knowing we had total loss of service. Shambolic company.

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

    @virginmedia Telling me an engineer will come next week now, not good enough. Waited in all morning for one that never came and still no service.

    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

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

    @virginmedia Not really checked today as not working, nans funeral is at 1120. You need to get an engineer to my house next week. I'm paying the bill and not getting the service, not really fair is it.

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

    @virginmedia 3 x engineer visits, each time telling me there’s a blockage. Why does nobody fix it? I can’t even get through to cancel my services and get a refund for the direct debits I’ve paid when I’ve had zero service.

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

    @virginmedia I totally agree, unfortunately this is not something you have been able to arrange for me for the last 3 months either. 👍 What's the solution?

  • ylilxanoi

    @Virgin @virginmedia I've had no Internet now for 14 days and my bill is due in 2 days. This is disgusting service, your call centre staff are useless, your engineers are useless, this is appalling for £52 a month. Sort the problem out now.

  • 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 I never have any issues when it comes to my laptop, though. Just my PS5

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

    @virginmedia Yes I did! Look at the last screen shot, that page was down as well with an error message. Useless copy and paste replys. Not helpful atall

  • _samhowell
    ⚒ Sam ⚒ Warrington Hammer ⚒ (@_samhowell) reported from Warrington, England

    Also @virginmedia need to remind their call centre staff that customers are not idiots; the guy I was talking to had no idea why the link wasnt working so asdvised me to "Try again after 5, if its still not working call back" wonder if he managed clock out bang on 5?

  • 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!!!

  • jgrailpics
    James (@jgrailpics) reported from Liverpool, England

    When will I be able to go just one single day without @virginmedia failing, cannot wait until next year when the contract is over, increase the bills but reduce the service to next to nothing?

    IanRob79💙 (@IanRobEfc1878) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia your red button service is absolute dogshit you either get the wrong commentary or it doesn’t even come on! 🤯🤬

  • CallyRaven
    Carol Rowles (@CallyRaven) reported from Westhoughton, England

    @virginmedia 3 times in 3 weeks we are without internet! We are paying for a service we are not able to use! Are we going to be compensated for this?

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

    @virginmedia I first informed Virgin Media that my internet was down via online chat on Friday afternoon. Will this have automatically been the time when my loss of service was registered as at the time the advisor said it would be fixed in 24 hours?

    @MatthewStadlen @virginmedia Virgin Media are the single most useless, duplicitous, awful company on the planet. I wouldn't piss on them if they were on fire.

  • robbieg15_
    Robbie 🌷 (@robbieg15_) reported

    Internet has gone down twice in the past 24 hours. Time to fine Virgin Media £23m again imo.

  • aidan_codtello

    @entrustTMF @virginmedia Good reminder for me to chase them up about my poor broadband WiFi in the house and to renew contract or move.

  • humberbeats
    Humberside Police Exposed (@humberbeats) reported

    @daviddunninguk @O2 They handed out their customer service section to another organisation (Virgin Media I think) and it’s been an absolute bin fire ever since.

    @Ofcom The worst experience I have ever had was signing up for @virginmedia and then trying to extricate myself from them. Took months and months and hours and hours of my time that I won’t get back. So glad to see this news. The irony was they never even connected me. Shambles.

  • BluemoonAmy
    Amy McManus (@BluemoonAmy) reported

    @virginmedia Had no broadband service since Tuesday evening. Service update showed fix yesterday by 16:07, then today at 16:07 and now tomorrow at 16:07. Totally unacceptable. When will this be sorted. M46.

  • Waqar83971366
    Waqar (@Waqar83971366) reported

    @Ofcom Regardless of the fines they've still not improved with broadband, customer service and their prices are always high yet can't provide good service and quality of signals and equipment.. they need a full upgrade in equipment, signal quality and customer service @virginmedia

  • Bill72156026
    Bill (@Bill72156026) reported

    @IrishTimes What a joke. Would it actually be missed if it was wound down? Would virgin media be missed it it was wound down ? Only by the government. It’s clear from their own statements that they promote the government narrative while deliberately avoiding to challenge or question the government.
