    @virginmedia Service in the M41 has been appalling for months and the local Facebook group is full of complaints, don’t see any of your customers charging @virginmedia for the inconvenience.

  • mickryanphoto Mick Ryan (@mickryanphoto) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia You can start by reimbursing my Mother for one, it’s disgusting this type of thing goes on. How dare you say my dead Father ordered Sky cinema, something he would never have done in the first instance. You really do need to get your customer care in order

  • davemc_exile Dave McCormack (@davemc_exile) reported from Warrington, England

    Really frustrated with @virginmedia customer service - or lack of customer service can’t give us the correct information, 4 calls and been put on hold for 13 minutes with out being told why - @SkyUK are you any better might give you a call

  • CharlieIDIC IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia is rubbish now no broadband and no credit for the bill someone else ran up by accessing your box. Really getting stung for crap here! Your answer...phone us again and again and again with no resolution ombudsman here I come you thieving horrible gits

  • pven91 PV (@pven91) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia really unhappy with the service, got a new box yesterday and the start up checklist won’t load... called your helpline and they didn’t help us over the phone. Sending an engineer next weekend so we have a week without tv. Please help.

  • baabaa89 Victoria. 🐝 (@baabaa89) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia We have been experiencing issues with our hub. We often lose connection and then the connection is not very strong at all when connected. This has been happening for a couple of weeks. Please advise further.

  • davemc_exile Dave McCormack (@davemc_exile) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia We are talking to them and not to be disrespectful but they are clueless. All you care about is getting the contract signed then tough for the future - it is a shocking way to do business and I work in sales and would get sacked for the way to treat existing clients

  • John_B58 John B (+) (@John_B58) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia Like I said I registered for updates over the weekend and never got any.

  • soniaagnew1 Sonia (@soniaagnew1) reported from Liverpool, England

    Upgraded my @virginmedia WiFi package a few weeks ago on advice from call centre - still absolute rubbish signal even at 7am on a Sunday morning! #ivebeenconned

  • CharlieIDIC IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia are awful hate them disgusting service. Fed up of spending time trying to get refund for someone gaining entry to their box and running up my phone bill

  • woody0702 Steven Woodside (@woody0702) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia why does your broadband never work between 5am and 7:30am in #Farnworth Surely this a poor service as things are not never working... If there are works why does your website never update to say so

  • djleumas Jon Samuel (@djleumas) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia shockingly bad customer service for the last 3 days trying to sort an issue with 2 different orders and being told for 2 of those days that we don’t exist. Now means we have missed out on the deal we really wanted. Please can our issue be sorted.

  • mickryanphoto Mick Ryan (@mickryanphoto) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia As usual #virginmedia customer care left wanting as I suspected. No follow up, you really are a total disgrace #poorservice #moneyfornothing

  • mickryanphoto Mick Ryan (@mickryanphoto) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia Not yet it hasn’t but a complaint will certainly be raised. I am on my way out, so sorry no..

  • 8ballSambo Sam Rogers (@8ballSambo) reported from Walkden, England

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • topherham Chris Hamilton (@topherham) reported

    @virginmedia Unacceptable. I’ve been put on hold now for the third time this morning. The same stock responses are being wheeled out: “I understand”; “I’m sorry”; “construction issues”. I’d elicit a better response if I repeatedly banged my head against the wall.

  • Eks24 Dr Emma-Kate Yates (@Eks24) reported

    Continuous bad experience with @virginmedia for years I have been paying for their fastest broadband to yet almost daily get fluctuations between ok fast (50 mbps) and 7 mbps and nowhere near the over 100mbps I pay for), I regularly reset the router which lasts for about a day

  • JoshBakerFilm Joshua Baker (@JoshBakerFilm) reported

    @virginmedia Says no faults. I can assure you, as others can on here. Nobody has any service. We have honestly jumped though all of your hoops. It’s now on virgin to move past computer says no. I appreciate your messages, but sadly it’s not good enough.

  • Manraj_D Manraj Dhillon (@Manraj_D) reported

    @virginmedia thought it would be difficult but why is your live chat and phone service worse than your WiFi...

  • tomhansel95 Tom Hansel (@tomhansel95) reported

    @virginmedia internet down since yesterday morning. First fix estimate was 15:30 yday, now it’s 10:05 (15 mins ago). Please update ASAP. People working from home getting frustrated.

  • MistMaster777 Mist (@MistMaster777) reported

    @virginmedia I have not had internet for 12 hours now, I'm aware there is an outage going on but can you guys atleast give some support? no it is not a problem with my router, there is an outage. please can I get some sort of support for my issue.

  • Travistagram Travis (@Travistagram) reported

    @virginmedia I just can’t believe it’s been 2 months and I’m still nowhere near getting this resolved. Am I right in assuming I’m going to be heavily compensated for all of this trouble?

  • nancyeljudge Nancy Elgadi (@nancyeljudge) reported

    Hi @virginmedia. Day 2 without internet now and just called your customer services number again. Your automated service previously gave times as to when you expected the issue to be resolved but now it just says ‘soon’ when you call the number. I can’t work without internet 😕

  • markyw73 MarkyW73 (@markyw73) reported

    @virginhelp @virginmedia It seems @virginmedia could do with a little help, maybe a dictionary and a few extra agents answering their live chat?

  • MannahLFC Ste (@MannahLFC) reported

    @virginmedia yes again broadband is not working. We have had engineers out 3 times, boosters, new kit and yet it still drops out every day!!! Tried to follow leave link which also doesn't work. Literally worst service going. Not fit for purpose.
