  • nookandwillow clare wilson (@nookandwillow) reported from Prescot, England

    @ThingsByNik @virginmedia Have noticed they’re hard to get hold of as I’ve had issues with my install (outdoors related) they should at least do you a deal…if you could actually speak to them they will prob offer you something, that’s what Sky usually do

  • Cuttsrich rich cutts (@Cuttsrich) reported from Tyldesley, England

    @virginmedia I've woken up to no Internet service at all, again

  • LJBret11 Liam 🥊🎙 (@LJBret11) reported from Seaforth, England

    @virginmedia has got the worst customer service of any network. Raised a complaint back in January regarding a misold package,still waiting for an outcome. The notes say they have tried contacting me...no they havnt, not missed calls, voicemails or emails. Absolute liars.

  • Kiefer1667 Marc Lancaster (@Kiefer1667) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia hi, is it possible to check if my virgin mobile is being moved over from using ee to Vodafone? My signal keeps dropping in and out....i was told this would be happening sometime this year.

  • shell634 Michelle Oldroyd (@shell634) reported from St Helens, England

  • KerryAtkin1 Kerry Atkin (@KerryAtkin1) reported

    @virginmedia what a joke, the same problem since May, still not sorted its just excuse after excuse, they say they will ring you back and once again nothing 🙄

  • Dazzler2909 obe (@Dazzler2909) reported

    @virginmedia You try following that link and see how you can do it doesn't offer you a place to apply or make a complaint says ring a number that sends me a text to the same link. is there not an email I can't write or better yet tell the person to fix it properly.

  • dr_ranti Ranti (@dr_ranti) reported

    I closed my account with @virginmedia. They sent me a cheque that I never cashed. I called to get it reissued and I was told it had been cashed. They couldn't tell me who cashed the cheque. They have sent me an email closing the case. Has anyone had this experience? #fraud

  • _amorneece Syn (@_amorneece) reported

    Virgin Media’s customer service is a joke. Spending 3+ hours to get information on how to cancel my contract is ridiculous. 🫠 Set me free!

  • JordanLSutton Jordan Sutton (@JordanLSutton) reported

    @Newhorizontwins @virginmedia Yep. Down here

  • paulychan Paul Chan (@paulychan) reported

    My home internet has gone down ☹ Does anyone know what the operating temperature limit of a @virginmedia hub is? It's like the bonnet of a drag racer! I'm going to unplug it and see if cooling it down works.

  • Jrtyler Ms Tyler (@Jrtyler) reported

    @virginmedia Getting the 'invalid number and code' message when phoning vulnerable 89 yo FIL (from four different phones.) Call centre says there is no outage, they can hear ringing, and we have to be at his flat to diagnose it. What can be done? Can you do a webchat with us?

  • willMackMersh will ✨ (@willMackMersh) reported

    @virginmedia Any chance of them at least emailing us to keep us in the loop then? Our contract ends in August, meaning our monthly amount will be increasing so we will have been paying for 5 months of WiFi with zero service. Someone needs to contact us immediately as we need answers.

  • courty303 Steven Court (@courty303) reported

    @virginmedia so my internet has been down all day,do an online check and all it says (if it's still like this in 17 hours call us) shambles of a customer support system

  • jcshy joshua (@jcshy) reported

    @JordanLSutton @virginmedia @Newhorizontwins Yep. Says no issue for me or everyone else I know who’s Virgin has gone down within the same postcode. Useless
