  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia can someone help me please? I’m about to lose my ****. Never ever known anything like this company. Now telling me lies on WhatsApp. Saying i logged an issue weeks after engineers had already been out to find the fault. Refusing compensation after 4 mths no service.

  • Robertlfc_ Rob (@Robertlfc_) reported from Liverpool, England

    Sort your awful Wi-Fi out @virginmedia

  • 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

  • Parleyyyyyy Josh (@Parleyyyyyy) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I’ve just done that. If you watch the video though you’ll see it doesn’t even let me get to the login page. As soon as I click on virgin media customer it tries to take me to a website & then closes down

  • tomrushton88 Tom Rushton (@tomrushton88) reported 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

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

    @jenwahkiddles @virginmedia Pity they didn’t do it for us, had no tv or broadband for over 3 months and can’t even get the compensation they owe us, plus the direct debits they took knowing we had total loss of service. Shambolic company.

  • kevsauno Kevin Saunderson* (@kevsauno) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia hello, issues with TV and WiFi in Liverpool L12 area this morning. No issues showing on the app. Tried all the usual stuff but still no connection.

  • obpls1995 owen southworth (@obpls1995) reported 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.

  • RayWaring Ray Waring (@RayWaring) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Sorry I really don’t get it. A few hours ago I was told that your team would investigate etc. Now you’re telling you don’t have any access so I’m left to hang on with no one from VM being able to update me. Is that it?

  • andym1908 Andrew (@andym1908) reported from Warrington, England

    @skytv @skytv . I am disappointed with your customer service and technical team . They have disconnected my sky viewing card . Why ?. I want rectifyying ASAP . Or shall I just cancel my subscription and go over to virgin media

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

    @virginmedia Don't use this company its disgusting and disappointing the way they treat customers. Been trying to sort my contract out for 3 months now while they rob my money, create contracts that I've not agreed to and cancel complaints that I've raised.

  • ColinBe76578911 Colin (@ColinBe76578911) reported from Liverpool, England

    @MrCallum011 @virginmedia @peterkay_co_uk Ditto . Been down more than a ****** knickers lately

  • jimboy2 james (@jimboy2) reported

    @virginmedia And that’s the problem. I’ve tried talking to people and no one is able/willing to help. Such a simple matter and no one can be bothered

  • anniebonne Annie Warburton (she/her) (@anniebonne) reported

    @virginmedia Have spent 4+ hours calling your helplines, being taken through the same steps (which I had already done reading your web instructions) only to be told I need an engineer (which I already knew). And the issue still not fixed. Therefore I have been paying for no service.

  • depp_chelsea Chelsea🏴‍☠️ (@depp_chelsea) reported

    @virginmedia Hello sorry aint good enough it's everytime the bill is paid ontime every month yet the amount of issues is unreal use are really starting to let the customers down

  • ChrisAshton59 Chris Ashton 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@ChrisAshton59) reported

    @Zopa @MailOnline I got rid of Netflix when they put the price up. I still have Amazon prime that I paid for the year but may cancel when renewal is due. If I can't get another cracking deal with virginmedia when my contract ends, I'll just get cheapest broadband & stream additional content.

  • CEdvardz The Edvardz (@CEdvardz) reported

    @virginmedia They can’t help hence why I’m supposed to be getting a call back. Apparently no one can arrange a call back. They promise but it never happens.

  • WhatAboutHannah 🐝 (@WhatAboutHannah) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, 60 second reset has not solved the issue

  • abdullahm3211 Abdullah (@abdullahm3211) reported

    @virginmedia Nope no update sure this happened last time too? Well at least I have evidence this time. When I cancel don’t tell me you need your equipment back because I did try.
