    @virginmedia Everything struggles to stay connected to the Internet. Mobiles, laptops, the TV's. I'm not sure if the speed is an issue as I haven't checked it. (I'm not sure how to.)

    @JamesSymes8 Virgin Media. It keeps going really bad.

    @CruisingTheCut I’ve had very few issues with virgin media - depends if you need TV though. Otherwise I’ve heard very good things about over the air using the three network or EE.

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

    @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.

  • cbray72
    Christopher Bray (@cbray72) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I think so yes there's definitely a issue of some description as it keeps happening all the time

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

    @virginmedia 38 days after the repull should’ve been done? You think that’s good customer service?

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

    @virginmedia I'm checking online and it's saying there is an issue with the TV, but saying broadband is fine. I've had constant disconnections throughout the day for 2 weeks now. It works for a few minutes then goes off. What is going on?

  • cambo691
    Cambo (@cambo691) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @les_murray71 @virginmedia This and their woeful customer service is why we binned them off mate

  • laineypb2109
    Elaine Brown (@laineypb2109) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia 15% increase, don't think so mate. I'll be in touch via phone shortly with a cancellation notice. So much for long serving customer loyalty

    @virginmedia can you help my mum and dad they have had no telephone line since yesterday. The internet also went off but that seems to be back on now. It’s vital we get the phone on asap

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

    @virginmedia I have a booster. It was sent to me last Spring because of previous problems with TV in this room.

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

    @virginmedia 2/2 who can I speak to as it was working fine on Friday until the issues that were nothing to do with me happened, so don’t see why I should now pay for a technician

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

    Day 42 of no service from @virginmedia. Engineer meant to be coming again today, think I’ve more chance of a unicorn showing up to be fair. 🦄

    @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!

  • TheWiganParky

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

    attend later in order to connect the fibre optic cable. No engineer attended and today we have had to contact virgin media 3 times by telephone to find out what is happening.Despite being told earlier in the day the issue was being escalated and we would receive an update

  • 1992JDBX
    B (@1992JDBX) reported

    @virginmedia you lot are ******* shocking !!!! Needed internet for my new house you installed the outside service to the wrong address had to cancel the order and now everyone I speak to you at yourself passes me to someone else or don’t understand simple English !!

  • plushchris34
    Chris (@plushchris34) reported

    @virginmedia Thats another problem (still unresolved) I cant log in to my account, I get a message saying I cant log in because I dont have a passkey, then when I try to log in with a password it wont let me, if I request a new password I get stuck in a loop

  • marypaul32
    mary32 (@marypaul32) reported

    @nightsong53 We're still waiting for @virginmedia to come fix our broadband. My husband was so infuriated by the call centre staff I had to take over. We have raised formal complaint but of course not heard from them.

  • geofn3751
    Geoff Naylor (@geofn3751) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, but how can you penalise me for wanting to move to a service provider who can provide the service that you can't?

  • marypaul32
    mary32 (@marypaul32) reported

    @nightsong53 @virginmedia Definitely deliberate. Customer service simply does not exist anymore.

  • freethinker495
    Lovie35 (@freethinker495) reported

    @lucyjaynewhite1 It’s like trying to talk to any customer service over the phone these days. They are all foreigners who dnt have a clue wat they are doing or saying. virgin media is one of the worse.

  • barbzinsa
    Belle BTE (@barbzinsa) reported

    @virginmedia Broadband is down in Richmond Hill TW10, do you know how long it will take to fix the signal?

  • sadiejane29
    Sadie~Jane (@sadiejane29) reported

    @virginmedia I was meant to get a call back over 2 weeks ago from Maddie. Still waiting 🤔 Clearly saw the state of the complain & decided you couldn't be bothered. Every time my mum has rang, you have documented it as something completely different. Terrible service really 😑

  • Malcolm_Sillick
    Malcolm Sillick (@Malcolm_Sillick) reported

    @London_W4 The trouble is that O2 are now in bed with Virgin Media, who also have dreadful Indian 'Tech Support', who can't sort anying out and just read from scripts. Like many companies these days, if you can even find a phone number, they just give loads of messages, telling you to go to their website. The UK could do with a dose of American style customer service!!
