    @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.

    @virginmedia ...when all she has is TV on an old box and a phone line. She's house bound and this is all she has. The 1st feller attitude was disgusting and said like it or lump it. Clearly doesn't enjoy his job at Virgin Media and customer service is not his game! Awaiting a manger today, ty

    @virginmedia do you want the prize for the shittiest broadband ever or would you like to fix my internet service?

    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!

    @virginmedia It says there's no issues at the moment, but I'm only getting 13mbps.

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia Could the problems in the area have caused damage to the equipment? As it was working fine before. Do I get compensation for all this time as the earliest appointment is Friday 14th?

  • EmsydilemsyL
    Emma Latham (@EmsydilemsyL) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia advice please! I’ve been a customer for over ten years and am also an o2 customer and my account is now going up by another £12 per month on a pretty basic package! Phoned twice and been told that someone will get back to me with a new price package - still nothing

  • realjackoh187
    Jack Kelly (@realjackoh187) reported from Widnes, England

    @virginmedia Visit was fine replaced wifi. I was never out of Internet completely like it says only your compensation page, but it was equally as bad since my step daughter had online training to do which couldn't be done at all. My children also were not able to do homework.

  • 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

    @virginmedia Too many service drops. Engineer has been to properly to fix but this persists.

  • TimmyJ1972
    Tim Jackson (@TimmyJ1972) reported from Garston, England

    @virginmedia To be honest, the issue is an intermittent fault. My wife works from home and the broadband just drops out numerous times a day. Then comes back on. It’s only worthwhile doing a remote test if it’s when it drops out. Otherwise all will look fine

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

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

  • 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.

    @virginmedia The nightmare continues!!! Buffering is now a way of life for us. As is watching any programme on a streaming service in short two minute bites!

    @gail_hendry @virginmedia I would be happy just to be able to speak to someone who is English and can understand me and vice-versa been with these since it was “Telewest” currently WORST SERVICE ( communications) I have EVER had signing me up for deals ( some Indian/pakastani) I don’t even want

  • _jadebrady
    Jade Fairclough (@_jadebrady) reported

    @virginmedia down for 9 hours now, only fixed in 24 - 48 hours. In today’s world where everything relies on internet this is really appalling service. If you had prior warning there was an outage expected you can prepare but to have it off for so long is ridiculous

  • Extremelyannoy1
    Extremely annoyed (@Extremelyannoy1) reported

    @virginmedia what am I paying for if I can’t access the WiFi I pay for much less no contact with customer service to report it. Terrible service!

    k⁷ (@ktstarcandy) reported

    @virginmedia hi, my Virgin Media router has turned to the red flashing light twice in 3 days - Google says this can be causes by overheating. Surely not?! Please help as I can’t stream TV either until it sorts itself out. Thanks

  • Her_indoors51
    Jen Smith (@Her_indoors51) reported

    @virginmedia Thank you but a lovely lady on your customer service spent 40 minutes to fix it for me.

  • Paul_Reviews
    Paul Moore - Security Consultant  (@Paul_Reviews) reported

    Done with @virginmedia 3 times I've requested Comex come out and dig up the drive to bury their own cable which wasn't installed correctly. 3 times they've sent a level 1 tech with a shovel, who can't do the job. Contract cancelled. I might return if they ever decide to put customer services back in the UK - preferably with someone who understands plain English. #hopeless

    @virginmedia is there an issue in BH21 area? I’ve given up trying to speak to a human on phone or live chat. I’ve had WiFi issues for the past week.
