    @virginmedia Thanks. Very frustrating and time consuming. Spent whole afternoon trying to sort it. Twitter not really the best way to resolve issues especially with an 82 year old.

    Virgin media customer service 🥴😭🤯

  • SmithysMaud
    Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia Yes, this has been going on now for months. Was just on to your team to cancel, they hung up on me. I’ve never known a more woeful service. They are quick enough to take payment every month for a service I’m not getting.

    Before covid came you was brilliant @virginmedia but ever since then you have been really **** and if it not sorted by next Sunday we are leaving you it literally 2023 and you still got **** service

  • 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.

  • kevsauno
    Kevin Saunderson* (@kevsauno) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia hello, issues with TV and WiFi in Liverpool L12 area this morning. No issues showing on the app. Tried all the usual stuff but still no connection.

  • 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

  • alandean1878
    Alan Dean (@alandean1878) reported from Roby, England

    @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!

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

    @virginmedia I'm not sure this is the 3rd box. It's the one with the router in same room. Re advice remotely got message saying problem could not be solved.

  • jgrailpics
    James (@jgrailpics) reported from Liverpool, England

    Completely pathetic useless company @virginmedia Every single day there's some sort of problem EVERY SINGLE DAY Can't wait til this contracts over, after that in a bit useless crap

  • Robertlfc_

    @virginmedia just been took out of a game of fifa, that I was winning! Because of your awful internet. Get it fixed!!

  • 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

  • Simonrob1984

    @virginmedia why is the service down in Chester area? #virginmediadown

  • 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.

  • DoctorRood

    @virginmedia What does Virgin do for disabled people, when their internet goes down?

  • lurkinhead
    Martin Travis (@lurkinhead) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia There's no point raising a complaint is there, as you won't comprnsate? Other reputable oroviders offer a back-up 4 or 5g device to kick in if their main broadband goes down, to keep the service running. Not VM though - it's just all really poor customer service innit?

  • 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"....

  • JemimaCamhs
    Jemima (@JemimaCamhs) reported from Garston, England

    @virginmedia Hi, will this continued investment mean finally getting signal in my area? It’s a central area and the signal is awful. Thanks

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

    @virginmedia So I had loss of service but not complete even tho the service I had wasn't enough to even complete a 15 minute online training. Great. Even though you only have cold water, would you still get a bath? Nah don't think you would

  • 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

    @virginmedia I’m disgusted that after being a VM customer for 18 straight years, I am being charged double to renew compared to VM new customer offer. DM me to resolve or I’m off to SKY. So disappointing to have to post this.

  • kcblades

    @virginmedia Just a quick question, are you guys having issues. I have been trying to contact the support team for 3 days now to no avail. What is going on

  • adam_2510
    adam (@adam_2510) reported

    @virginmedia absolutely shocking customer service. Told by an agent I one price and now I’m in a contract at the wrong amount! Virgin media sales people lie even when I have the proof!! Absolutely poor customer service do not buy Birgin Media!!!!

    beir13346 (@beir13346) reported

    @virginmedia there has been intermittent signal in the Salford area on and off for mo this. What is going on with your service? Yes I have already signed in and run the diagnostics.

  • jasoncainesmith
    Jason Caine Smith (@jasoncainesmith) reported

    @VirginMedia No response on X or WhatsApp after hours. Cannot get through by phone due to your system issue. This has left an elderly customer without TV all day. Completely unacceptable. If I don’t get a response shortly I will be making a formal complaint.

    What a kerfuffle. 10 calls to Virgin to reactivate services. Not easy and customer service not great. @virginmedia #customerservice #housemove #difficult

  • amcgrath1uk
    Asa McGrath (@amcgrath1uk) reported

    Well done @virginmedia . No internet or TV all day. Gone from saying it’s a known problem to saying it’s an issue our end. Nope. Bet the engineer who’s coming Wednesday won’t be needed as it’ll be miraculously fixed by then
