  • supergran22
    Maureen StewartJones (@supergran22) reported from Eccleston, England

    @VirginMedia Received message. Now not accepting my email address. I have one only. My problem is with the remote control which is activated by pressing 2 buttons when they light up. Have had nothing but trouble with one remote for one TV. Your communication us not helpful.

  • 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.

  • alandean1878
    Alan Dean (@alandean1878) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia Everything struggles to stay connected to the Internet. Mobiles, laptops, the TV's. I'm not sure if the speed is an issue as I haven't checked it. (I'm not sure how to.)

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

    @virginmedia I reported a total loss of service on 31/8. It was finally fixed this morning. After no shows, lies and weeks between visits. They have not even offered to cover the cost of my last 3 dd’s which I wish I hadn’t paid as I had no service whatsoever

    Internet down no good when working home #virginmediadown #virginmedia

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • elisabethhilto4
    Elisabeth Hilton (@elisabethhilto4) reported from Lowton, England

    @virginmedia Been signed up to a contract I specifically asked not to be. Unable to get through on the phone and your online complaint submission form does not work. Can someone please contact me urgently

    Virgin media customer service 🥴😭🤯

  • SoloUtilitaRian
    UtilitaRian 🔶 (@SoloUtilitaRian) reported from Bolton, England

    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

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

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

  • Its_Sal_Queen
    Sarah Hill (@Its_Sal_Queen) reported from Liverpool, England

    Would love to be able to start work @virginmedia, but the Internet is down.

  • 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.

  • SharronRawlinso
    Sharron Rawlinson (@SharronRawlinso) reported from Kirkby, England

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

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

    @virginmedia I have to say your Internet connection is ridiculous... for months on end, it's been shocking. I'm sick and tired of resetting my hub, I shouldn't be having this issue. Never had so much issue for the years I've had you and now, the past 6 months, I'm paying monies…

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

    @virginmedia They’ve been today apparently to do the repull and nothing has changed. Still no service. I won’t be paying this month as I’m not paying for nothing.

  • CryptoDan2k
    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?

  • ZachcloseYT
    zach close YT 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 (@ZachcloseYT) reported from St Helens, England

    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

  • Slt4K
    SLT4K 👨🏻‍💻 🇬🇧 (@Slt4K) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia / Super disappointed after calling to renew my contract and as an existing customer you can’t offer anything half as good as a new customer. Shocking customer retention strategy 🤯

    I had no service on my Virgin Media for a weekend. So now I’m getting credited £30 😌

  • conjuredundead
    Conjured Undead 🧟‍♂️ (@conjuredundead) reported

    @virginmedia . Can someone please give me an update on an intermittent service issue dating back to 30/7/26? We’ve been told there’s a service cable issue but no update on a “fix” and the disruption is costing me as I can’t work from home, because broadband is unstable. Thanks.

  • SarkySodRyan
    Ryan (@SarkySodRyan) reported

    @virginmedia And given I'm already annoyed - don't ask me if I've switched it off and back on again. Of course I have. It still doesn't work.

  • jammach
    🏳️‍🌈 Barrie (@jammach) reported

    @IainSankey @virginmedia I’m with @Hyperoptic who apart from one outage because of equipment failure have been very good. They are regional unfortunately and not universally available. Always good to shop around, especially with providers who supply synchronous fibre connections - eg download and upload speed the same.

    Tired of paying for multiple subscriptions like Sky, BT Sport, Virgin Media, Now TV, Amazon Prime, Disney+, Apple TV+? I have got the solution. This IPTV @8K_Best_IPTV50 offers: • 300,000+ live channels • 65,000+ VODs • PPV events • Netflix • 78,000+ movies

  • Nigelbarber12

    @virginmedia @jrdOvn And this is why I’m cancelling my contract. Shocking service.

  • frankieJnr66
    Runningman (@frankieJnr66) reported

    @virginmedia How long has this issue been going on for now as I reported it 4 days ago and people saying it’s been 10 days? You surely can’t be serious!

  • thedarkweeally
    Al (@thedarkweeally) reported

    @heid_the_baw_ @virginmedia Try You fibre been with them 18 months, no issues I took the cheap package 100Mbs download speed 25 quid a month but they're offering better deals now.

  • nongnangning1
    Olive (@nongnangning1) reported

    @IainSankey @virginmedia I never pay more than £23 for my Virgin internet. Whenever my "special offer" runs out and they want to increase my bill, I just tell them i'll leave then and they relent...
