  kevin.james (@pillbo01) reported 4 minutes ago 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

  Tom Rushton (@tomrushton88) reported 4 minutes ago from Haydock, England

  @virginmedia And the last complaint I raised over this got cancelled because it didn't have any details to the complaint even though all the messages are there to see through your WhatsApp service but the retentions team can't see that or deal with the complaint or help in anyway way

  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

  kevin.james (@pillbo01) reported 27 minutes ago from Bolton, England

  @virginmedia That number is a automated response not a customer service agent and an utter waste of time

  CryptoDan2k (@CryptoDan2k) reported 30 minutes ago 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

  @virginmedia We have. Multiple times. Your agents don't know how to help. Spoke to 3 different people. I'm getting contant update emails. I don't need to check the service. I know its down. This is beyond ridiculous. I work from home, I can't do my job because of your terrible service.

  Tim Cooke 🇺🇦 (@timmycooke) reported 39 minutes ago 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!!!

• 
  CryptoDan2k (@CryptoDan2k) reported 45 minutes ago 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

• 
  🥔 A bean has no name 🥔 (@ylilxanoi) reported 46 minutes ago from Wigan, England

  @virginmedia Yeah.. apparently its down in WN1 but nobody is telling me what's wrong or how long it will take. I need Internet to work.

• 
  Carol Rowles (@CallyRaven) reported 50 minutes ago from Westhoughton, England

  @virginmedia I seem to be the first one to report them, still saying intermittent problems in my area. Can't get to speak to anyone on phone, I rely on the Internet.

• 
  CryptoDan2k (@CryptoDan2k) reported 55 minutes ago 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.

  @virginmedia your Internet sucks

  Sharron Rawlinson (@SharronRawlinso) reported 55 minutes ago from Kirkby, England

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

  owen southworth (@obpls1995) reported 55 minutes ago from Wigan, England

  @virginmedia can you explain why the moment I told your staff over the phone that I was disabled they decided to speak to me as if I was an idiot and then tell me they can't help me because I can't spell out my password despite telling them 5 times what the password was.

  @Virgin @virginmedia #virginmediadown #VirginMedia Imagine paying £52 a month for Internet to be down for 5 days. We work from home. I've used all my 4g, had to buy more to do my job yet when you call up they say it'll be fixed by.. and keeps being postponeded. Fix it Virgin.

  kevin.james (@pillbo01) reported 59 minutes ago from Bolton, England

  I have virgin media but they don’t have a Customer service that you can speak to. Or email I’ve had a problem for over a month since an engineer messed about in the box in the street. Picture on tv keeps pixilated.

  @virginmedia had a guy phoning from a mobile number 07740338310, claiming to be from Virgin Media. I just hung up. As I have never had anyone from you guys phoning me from a mobile number ever!!

• 
  Eden Gem (@edengem) reported 9 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Help Please! Just been given incorrect advice from 4xoverseas tech support. Initial issue was an error code & “black listed IP server” that stopped desktop emails from working. Any advice as advice now cancelled iPhone email. TIA

• 
  David Richards (@DWRICHARDS) reported 10 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Thank you. I look forward to doing so after the current period of 30 days (in which to issue a replacement cheque) has expired and when I will need to renew my attempts at scaling your high security battlements!

  @virginmedia Its all good. Got customer service yesterday and new hub connected and working 🫡

  Alex MacLeod 🌻 (@AlexMacLeod9) reported 11 minutes ago

  @spudbishop666 @virginmedia I was a VM customer for 30 odd years but ditched them recently because of price and customer service. Last price hike took me package to £235 a month. Now with EE at £86 a month for similar TV and broadband package but no landline phone which we didn't use anyway.

• 
  Andy W (@AndrewW12290183) reported 13 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Why did You take £90 out of my account in case I don't send the equipment back ? Thing is I'm still waiting for the returns package from you. Or is another ploy to take more money like when you signed me up for a TV subscription I never asked for.

• 
  Tariq Mahmood (@tariqm786) reported 14 minutes ago

  @virginmedia No.. I called at 14.35 and was told I’ll be sent a text message once fixed as there is an issue in the area.

  newname3321 (@newname3321) reported 14 minutes ago

  @virginmedia first day on your services no TV on my stream boxes told 4 hours ago they can guarantee it will be back on with the next 2 still nothing, tempted to cancel and tell sky I'm staying put

• 
  Isla (@saoirseisla) reported 16 minutes ago

  My fave thing about @virginmedia is nothing. No WiFi for 4 days. No WiFi = no tv. Been fobbed off for days. Each day promising it’ll fixed by the end of the day. Only to turn around today and say only an engineer coming to the house can fix it. I want out of this contract.

  entrustTMF (@entrustTMF) reported 17 minutes ago

  @karenwi17092279 Sorry to hear that, not good 😔 Yes, we rely on these things more than we realise... I had forgotten the printer, the TV box, my Spotify, heating controller, etc. all use the WiFi and workarounds for all of them need to be fashioned or just abandoned until @virginmedia fix it
