    @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

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

    @virginmedia Yes, this has been going on now for months. Was just on to your team to cancel, they hung up on me. I’ve never known a more woeful service. They are quick enough to take payment every month for a service I’m not getting.

    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

    @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!

  • PaulRegent1
    Paul Regent (@PaulRegent1) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia no internet available in Bolton - must be an outage as, although coverage is very poor, it isn’t usually this poor!!

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

    @virginmedia Nobody can help me, they just keep asking for patience. They’ve had since august to fix it. It’s unacceptable.

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

    @virginmedia my internet has been down since Friday afternoon. I was told it would be fixed in 24 hours, the time has since changed and is currently at 8pm this evening. I work from home so need my internet back up and running before Monday morning. This is disgraceful

    @virginmedia All internet is down, wireless and wired; the hub light is white and it’s a Hub 3.0.

    @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?? 😡

  • 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?

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

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

    Trying to sort mum n dads new phones, @virginmedia are sending me up the f'in wall and round the f'in bend! YOUR CONTRACT SIGNING SITE ISNT WORKING and the staff dont seem to comprehend this! PLEASE SORT YOUR **** OUT ASAP!

  • LawAspi
    TheAspiLawStudent #NoReturns (@LawAspi) reported from Chorley, England

    @nerdscav @the_hinchy @virginmedia Yes because a WiFi extender will fix the issue when it's the incoming line and not the hardware 😳. The routers gives a 3ping and 1GBps connection. The issue is virgin's crappy network 👍

    Gary Banks (@GaryBan47314801) reported from Liverpool, England

    @R4g3Kw1t @virginmedia Mine has been broken since 27 July and @virginmedia have given me ZERO information about what’s the reason or when it will be fixed. Very poor customer service

  • OngoingAccount
    ongoing.correspondence (@OngoingAccount) reported

    @virginmedia You haven't replied to the last DM. I had to make an official complaint to get a resolution. @Ofcom Having had equipment checked and replaced, the connection is still freezing and disconnecting. This suggests the problem is external. #virginmedia
