    @virginmedia I will call shortly. I just feel that you are pricing people out of their broadband. I am on a low income and can only just manage the cost of it at the moment. I just don't understand why the router I have is not boosting the signal

    @virginmedia I just want a landline and broadband package without the TV - and maybe just Broadband - I want to see your prices and options - and decide - but it seems as an existing customer you don’t want to talk to me about options -

  • ResidentStevil7 𝕾𝖙𝖊 (@ResidentStevil7) reported from Hindley, England

    @virginmedia No problem. I haven’t done that but I will do it now 👍🏼

  • michdavey71 Michelle (@michdavey71) reported from Maghull, England

  • CoreyLDavies Corey Davies (@CoreyLDavies) reported from Ellesmere Port, England

    @virginmedia My wifi keeps going down av phoned few times...thay just don't seem to care put the phone down on a number of occasions....

  • NicolaAinsy279 Nicola Connor (@NicolaAinsy279) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I am no longer a customer and I have paid the account in full. It was paid in August 2018 and my credit file is showing that I’m behind on my payments and have been since April 2018 as it hasn’t been updated for 18 months! 4 times I’ve been told my complaint would be dealt with.

  • tiny_mischief Shaunna (@tiny_mischief) reported from Tyldesley, England

    Any issues in M29 area @virginmedia as per usual, the internet is down.

  • jen1562 Jennifer Donnelly (@jen1562) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia Thank you, I’ve tried that. It then directed me to status check page. No issues noted in the area as yet. This was the same as yesterday

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia I don’t want anything to do with you, I’m fed up talking to you about this. I called up a couple of weeks ago and spoke to a lady who told me there’s nothing to worry about, the system is updated and I won’t be charged. Yet I’ve just received a text. Beyond poor customer service.

  • cfraz172 claire fraz (@cfraz172) reported from Rainhill, England

    @virginmedia got a problem with the TiVo box it’s the second box - tried to reset two days ago and delete everything has been on the screen since then - any suggestions as this has been nothing but trouble and for £122 per month is a joke

  • Lucy8720 Lucy87 (@Lucy8720) reported from Chester, England

    @virginmedia your trains are a joke! Whatis the point of reserving 4 seats as a family and having confirmation of my seat numbers, then when getting on the train it says unreserved and i have rude people refusing to move out of seats so i cannot sit with my family!! Terrible

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    So @virginmedia harassing me again about a router i returned a year ago saying it’s not been sent to them. I’m not to blame for their rubbish inventory system. I’ve left @virginmedia to get away from their ineptitude but it never ends. Will be putting it an official complaint.

  • NicolaAinsy279 Nicola Connor (@NicolaAinsy279) reported from Liverpool, England

    4th time complaining to @virginmedia and still NO reply and not dealt with at all. 3 complaint forms submitted and 1 letter. Now with the @financialombuds but going to take a while because of large volumes of complaints 😕🙄 just want my credit file updating! 😡

  • cyhveize Cyhveize (@cyhveize) reported from Liverpool, England

    @simonrim @virginmedia Wait until you try to call them with a problem 🤯🤯🤯 #theyreawful

    @cirriustech @virginmedia Let's hope they will compensate the customers who have had the problems

  • RnLittlewood Richard Littlewood (@RnLittlewood) reported

    @virginmedia We’ve had problems since the before the middle of November and when we rang up the information given was what the telephone personnel could give us that the engineers were working on the problem. Message on screen now is ‘Setting up TV channels.

  • sparklefinger5 sers (@sparklefinger5) reported

    @virginmedia Nearly 4pm still no fix? When might we get our services back?

  • Seons_Le Seon (@Seons_Le) reported

    @Jenni677 @xems22x @virginmedia What has that got to do with anything I said? 100% uptime is still the same as however much you use. If you had a power cut, your bills pay them to fix it. You are not literally paying 1:1 for electricity or gas.

  • Debbie_sharp3 Debbie sharp (@Debbie_sharp3) reported

    @virginmedia Still down 4 hours later. When will this be fixed?

  • WitchWigan WiganWitch (@WitchWigan) reported

    @virginmedia I’m sure it’d help immensely IF someone at your end had the DECENCY to inform us how long this MIGHT last? Can’t speak to anyone as ‘extremely busy with other customers, try ringing back later’ - did that and, yes, got the same response!!

  • RICKQRP Richard Bailey (@RICKQRP) reported

  • Patrick44109733 Patrick Wilson (@Patrick44109733) reported

  • SimonRedican Simon Redican (@SimonRedican) reported

    @virginmedia hi have you got a problem with your services. If I call 150 on my Virgin landline it just goes dead, the TV service isn’t working and all of your phone numbers have a rude automated message saying ‘we are busy, call later, goodbye’. I don’t want to be charged
