  • CharlieIDIC IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia is rubbish now no broadband and no credit for the bill someone else ran up by accessing your box. Really getting stung for crap here! Your answer...phone us again and again and again with no resolution ombudsman here I come you thieving horrible gits

  • MisterDaz MisterDaz (@MisterDaz) reported from Ellesmere Port, England

    @virginmedia No. I work, so don’t have a spare hour during the day. I’ll call to cancel when I can fit it in. £120 odd per month should enable me to watch a recording.

  • HelenLMoran HLM (@HelenLMoran) reported from Garston, England

    @virginmedia There was apparently a local fault that is now showing as resolved. However the WiFi painfully slow and times out

  • heatherjoy3 heather (@heatherjoy3) reported from Ellesmere Port, England

    @virginmedia no broadband Ch66 2rz. Checked service status and rebooted. Please help.

  • CharlieIDIC IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia are awful hate them disgusting service. Fed up of spending time trying to get refund for someone gaining entry to their box and running up my phone bill

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

    @virginmedia So it looks like the router resetting was the start of a bigger issue. Router appears to be having issues again. Your diag service thinks the router is switched off but it certainly isn’t.

  • mickryanphoto Mick Ryan (@mickryanphoto) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia Not yet it hasn’t but a complaint will certainly be raised. I am on my way out, so sorry no..

  • mickryanphoto Mick Ryan (@mickryanphoto) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia As usual #virginmedia customer care left wanting as I suspected. No follow up, you really are a total disgrace #poorservice #moneyfornothing

  • northernmicks Kenneth Owen (@northernmicks) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia ***************, said change bill never did, ring can't deal with it but can't ring you, you a sodding phone company, get a grip

  • shaunbentley Shaun (@shaunbentley) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia Still on the phone. Just found out the eng that was supposed to come today to fixed the frayed cables outside was a no show. Also all my smart lights have stopped working meaning the local network (not broadband) has gone down. Finally you’ve agreed to issue a deadlock letter.

  • BazxAnderson Baz Anderson (@BazxAnderson) reported from St Helens, England

    So get an email on Sunday saying my @virginmedia bill is going up in September. Since then nothing but problems with the internet. If your going to charge a fortune. Provide a decent service.

  • Classychick65 michelle orrelljones (@Classychick65) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia Been disconnected by yourselves without requesting to cancel my service. No call back as promised, spent an hour on phone earlier to be told might be 72 hours until anything can be done after 20 years of loyalty I think I merit more than this shoddy treatment

  • CharlieIDIC IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia How do I cancel my Virgin please I don’t need this rubbish contacting people being told it’s sorted nothing being done then contacting people. I’m the victim someone stole from you and put it on my bill and you don’t care hate Virgin terrible service

  • thestuchy13 Damon (@thestuchy13) reported from Billinge Chapel End, England

    @virginmedia It's a fault you was suppose to fix yesterday at 4.15 in the area but still hasn't been fixed

  • pven91 PV (@pven91) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia really unhappy with the service, got a new box yesterday and the start up checklist won’t load... called your helpline and they didn’t help us over the phone. Sending an engineer next weekend so we have a week without tv. Please help.

  • laurasidestreet LauraSideStreet (@laurasidestreet) reported

    @Part_Mermaid @virginmedia That’s really good to know, it’s been particularly bad lately and dropping out all the time or just being very slow. I was ill last week & really need to catch up with work but guess what…internet is slow….again 😫

  • StooCollins $too (@StooCollins) reported

    @drewwagar Found out today that the fibre that’s been laid around us here is being handed over to Virgin Media. They have a shocking track record for stability in these parts, they want nearly £80pm for anything near decent speeds and their sales team has called me 5 times today unsolicited

  • AlunPonting Alun Ponting ♻️ (@AlunPonting) reported

    @virginmedia I called in early Feb for an update on complaint & to give 30 days notice. The agent instead cancelled our contract with immediate effect, disconnecting our services that same Friday evening. It took 10+ (evidencable) hours of calls that weekend trying to fix that issue... 2/3

  • Gareth41256476 Gareth (@Gareth41256476) reported

    @virginmedia my parents signed contract with u on moving into new house in bookham. Installation date was set for3jan. been pushed back 4 times now to 17 March. They are without internet. This is beyond a joke and no customer service/ info, just poor excuses. pls can Vm help?!

  • samubtdp scott urquhart (@samubtdp) reported

    @virginmedia your customer service team is not helpful

  • SirMrRealityMan Liam B (@SirMrRealityMan) reported

    @virginmedia Is there a way I can chat to someone about an account issue that isn't WhatsApp or via phone? Not really comfortable with those options

  • gilly8049 Neil (@gilly8049) reported

    @virginmedia Well maybe you need to find a way to make it less complex... I can't believe in 2022 it takes 72 hours to fix an "accident"

  • domkinsella Dom Kinsella (@domkinsella) reported

    Honestly worst decision I made leaving @skytv for @virginmedia I can never get hold@of anyone, they never get back to you. pay for the top of the range Wifi and it constantly goes off. Live in a 2 bedroom house and I can’t get Wifi in every room! It’s a joke!

  • StormHeaford tracy heaford (@StormHeaford) reported

    Been with Virgin media for nearly 20 years and don't ask for much apart from reliable service. Wanted to change landline number and they wanted 25 quid for it. I think excessive?

  • Scott04683475 Scott (@Scott04683475) reported

    @ReidBst @virginmedia The worst I I have ever received from any company absolutely disgusting and all they say is I apologise, they should be ashamed of themselves but they really don’t care,I had one lady hang up on me and when I called back she had put in the records that I had hung up , shambles
