    @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

  • EmmaZhaan64
    Emma (@EmmaZhaan64) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia according to your representative my wifi is working perfectly and I don’t have any issues! That’s a bit odd considering I no service what so ever!

  • 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?

    @DoctorLemma Well done . Always had great service from @virginmedia just cant afford them anymore.

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

    @virginmedia The issue is I also believe it's my equipment as well. The down time I have you don't seam to log it all. I dont want a router upgrade or anything like that I just want a working router. Everytime I call there is a fault in the area.

  • LindzDDub
    Lindz Devine (@LindzDDub) reported from Wigan, England

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

  • ylilxanoi
    🥔 A bean has no name 🥔 (@ylilxanoi) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia Internet is down in our area since Monday. I keep getting multiple emails saying it'll be fixed by 12pm tomorrow, then 4pm Wednesday 12pm Thursday, 12pm Friday and now 4pm Friday. None of your call centre staff can help us we've spent hours on hold this week.

  • pillbo01
    kevin.james (@pillbo01) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia No as you person on 150 said you do not have a customer service that I could talk too. Your engineer said it was a fault at the box in street so I don’t know when it is fixed. But it’s not improve in the last month

  • RWBJ1997
    Jonesy (@RWBJ1997) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia your customer service team is proper shite. Your router is in the bin outside ours

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

    @virginmedia Yes, as discussed many a time. Without fail occasion I phone there is a fault in my area and you will not send out a technician. This circle can not seam to be broken. This is why you have failed to get an engineer out to me for months and months.

  • 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

  • 1AnneMcCormack
    Anne McCormack (@1AnneMcCormack) reported from Billinge Chapel End, England

    @virginmedia I tell them to ring 999 or 0151 709 6010 if they want to report a crime. They hang up but they sound South Asian and their English is poor. I worry about other oaps being conned. Good luck chasing them.

  • barrys59
    Barry Slater (@barrys59) reported from Barton upon Irwell, England

    @virginmedia still no service M27. 4th hour! Rubbish!

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

    @virginmedia Could the problems in the area have caused damage to the equipment? As it was working fine before. Do I get compensation for all this time as the earliest appointment is Friday 14th?

  • 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!

  • NeckSausage
    NeckSausage (@NeckSausage) reported from Tarleton, England

    @virginmedia really poor coverage here PR4 6, is there a mast problem?

  • GreenwasBlue
    GreenWasBlue (@GreenwasBlue) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia I've tried the online help to no avail.Just going round in circles. How do I get to book a visit by a human being?? 😡

  • tomrushton88
    Tom Rushton (@tomrushton88) reported from Haydock, England

    @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!

    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 😡😡😡

    @virginmedia 36 hours of no internet and half my channels not working on the TV and I still can't book an engineer. What is going on with your service?

  • phibel69
    Phil the-trucker 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@phibel69) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia Had the same issue with Vodafone and sky. Both companies upsold to me, then they totally let me down when it came to turning connection on. Vodafone was 2 weeks, sky was 4 days. Its not just 1 company. They're all the same. Contacting them is totally disgraceful

  • ScottishAshley
    Ashley (@ScottishAshley) reported

    @virginmedia An engineer was booked and then the visit was cancelled by yourselves as it’s a wider issue apparently. So it’s an issue you should already be aware of as it’s widespread according to media

  • _kerryking_
    kerry (@_kerryking_) reported

    @virginmedia Unfortunately this is still an issue, comes up saying that we are fetching account details and after 15 minutes Error CS1012 appears, so so frustrating! Been going on since Thursday now!

  • Malcolm_Sillick
    Malcolm Sillick (@Malcolm_Sillick) reported

    @Benleo I've been with @virginmedia for many years. Whole reason, is that in my road/area, their broadband in miles quicker than the 'Openreach' slow version. To be fair, it works well most of the time - but when it doesn't and you have to ring the Indian Tech Support; Oh dear it's grim!

  • neilontour
    Neil Willett (@neilontour) reported

    @virginmedia account number is 946682603 surname on account is willett and postcode is ng15 7ge i pay a lot of money each month for one of the top packages and at the minute in really unhappy with the service i am receiving

  • Merse2506
    John Mercer (@Merse2506) reported

    @virginmedia For ovr 1 week I have not had Netflix after my transfer. As the biggest Kylie fan if I miss it I will cancel my subscription to Virgin Media

    @virginmedia I didn’t say anything about having an issue on this thread

  • CrimhthanMor
    An tsean bhean bhocht 🇮🇪🇵🇱 (@CrimhthanMor) reported

    @crt_dean @TheAmanuensis @MalachySteenson They actually tend to be handpicked from state funded media, which is literally every media outlet in the country to be honest, Gript is an exception, I'm sure there are others but most are in some way or other recieving state support. Even Virgin media got handouts.

  • crm_uk
    C Morris (@crm_uk) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia Yep 💯 percent. Worst is when the Indian call centre says password is wrong because they don't understand and you're having to break up your English for them 🙈
