    @virginmedia Yes I’ve been told this before… yet it never happened when my bill was generated. Let’s see eh..

  • ChrisWAzure
    Chris Wright (@ChrisWAzure) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia The guy was the most arrogant person I've ever spoke to in CS, retentions is meant to be the end of the line, if it was my service and not my wife's 93 year old nan i'd have cancelled the contract. I asked to speak to a manager and was told "managers don't speak to customers"....

  • Gary_Kilroy

    Having the choice of the awful customer service of @virginmedia or the @bt_uk network which in my area might as well be two tin cans tied together with string is great!

  • JohnMurphy9172
    murf (@JohnMurphy9172) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Just managed to get hold of someone, and apparently after over 10 years of no problems I now need WiFi boosters at an extra cost to myself all of a sudden, they couldn't tell me why just trying to squeeze more money out of me

  • 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.

    You say you care about your customers and if you did you would fix your ******* **** Internet problems that everyone is having and don't even bother replying @virginmedia

    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

  • andrewjmcgill
    Andy McGill (@andrewjmcgill) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia I have been without broadband all day, a day after you sent me a letter about price increases, an increase for what, even poorer service!!!!

  • 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

  • hall291
    Pauline Hall (@hall291) reported from Halton, England

    @virginmedia how am I supposed to run an online tutoring business from home when your system goes down twice in a day ? #payingmorebutgettingless

  • ChrisWAzure
    Chris Wright (@ChrisWAzure) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia ..i don't know what manager in any way of life won't speak to a customer! I called back and spoke to another member of the team, who has logged it as a complaint, a manager is calling me today and he is looking what he can do for a 93 year old. Being forced to pay £105 a month...

  • Billzy79
    Billzy (@Billzy79) reported from Liverpool, England

    @Jacedafaceis @virginmedia Yes. Been out to lake district, and 4G mobile phone signal was quick and more reliable than the broadband. And people thought it was normal.

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

    @virginmedia In this room have always had problems but just not like today. The router is just over 2 metres from box.

  • StuartWilksHeeg

    @tonymc39 @virginmedia Really, truly shockingly terrible.

  • AndyMcK1982
    Andy McKeown (@AndyMcK1982) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia So I’ve been told false information to make me sign up there and then! Terrible customer service there!

  • EmmaZhaan64
    Emma (@EmmaZhaan64) reported from Roby, England

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

  • 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.

  • 1AnneMcCormack
    Anne McCormack (@1AnneMcCormack) reported from Billinge Chapel End, England

    @virginmedia I tell them to ring 999 or 0151 709 6010 if they want to report a crime. They hang up but they sound South Asian and their English is poor. I worry about other oaps being conned. Good luck chasing them.

    @Benleo @virginmedia I agree. Even when I had decided to leave, it would have been easy to escape from Alcatraz than cancel the contract. Never again!

  • finalstand79
    just me (@finalstand79) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia are shocking, offered me a contract with Netflix, didn't get it , made a complaint , did nothing other than acknowledged i made a complaint and my signal is always shocking. Warned so many people about them

  • didtheydiecom
    Grim Reaper (@didtheydiecom) reported

    @jomickane @Benleo @virginmedia Vodafone. I mean they all ******* suck but Vodafone sucks least at the moment.

  • katesonly
    We need Restore Britain (@katesonly) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia Avoid like the plague, if you move house before your contract is up & they don’t supply their service in your new area, they expect you to keep paying for receiving nothing, often 18 - 24 month contracts & they don’t make this clear. Sketchy service with sketchy coverage

  • feebee_69
    Fi (@feebee_69) reported

    @virginmedia I'm only engaging with them until they hang up or start crying 🎉

  • KibbyDan
    Dan (@KibbyDan) reported

    @IanLythgoe4 @virginmedia Why would you have to pay for it? It’s their issue? I still have no tv and I want an engineer to come and sort it because it’s ridiculous now. Im not paying anything. 5 days we have been without tv.

  • worldsaapart
    laney ☆ (@worldsaapart) reported

    @virginmedia is the wifi down in the M38 area? My mum can't log into the wifi on her phone or tv and when she tries it says it's not in range

  • rl1602
    Richard Loach (@rl1602) reported from Gedling District, England

    @Benleo @virginmedia They ruined my Christmas in 2023. Whole day on phone sorting issues with father in laws broadband then 2 site visits ending up with me throwing my vape at TV and a bill for £1000. Horrendous company
