  • djmikey32 michael old (@djmikey32) reported from Garston, England

    @virginmedia No call, no message, no email 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 this is a service that don't care about there customers obviously......

  • stefaniantiques Stefani Antiques (@stefaniantiques) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I rang support yesterday and they said an ongoing issue that could take up to a week and when I follow your link it says no known issues. #mixedmessages

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

    @RichPierce0079 @virginmedia @SkyUK @VodafoneUK All different issues really. Virgin is its own thing. Sky could have been a line issue, Vodafone went live earlier today but despite saying it has an internet connection it doesn’t. Almost like they’ve not activated it on their end despite the app saying the line is active.

  • peachy_80 Chris Peach (@peachy_80) reported from Winsford, England

    @Dave_hampton @virginmedia @bt_uk I’ve got BT, good service from them but prices do rise from time to time.

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

    @virginmedia This is the 6th “complex” issue that’s happened during weekends this year! and countless other days ..... and that’s why I called yesterday to cancel, your service is obviously not fit for purpose and you have the cheek to put the price up too

  • John_B58 John B (+) (@John_B58) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia @NorthernOaf Feel free to look in to my non-existent service.

  • sandras_smith Sandra SmithMND (@sandras_smith) reported from St Helens, England

    @Danielle869 @virginmedia I agree. The service my 85 year old dad received was appalling. Moved to Sky, when @virginmedia asked how they could keep custom, our reply “ wouldn’t have if it was free”.

  • andrewmoss76 andrew moss (@andrewmoss76) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia btsport 2 no signal missing the match here get it sorted

  • Jonesj1988 Jonesy (@Jonesj1988) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia what’s going on with your customer service line the waiting times are ridiculous!!!! I only need to give you a pac number to get my number transferred why am I regretting switching providers already haven’t even got started yet 😡

  • AHeywood_84 Andy (@AHeywood_84) reported from Golborne, England

    So, at the end of my @virginmedia contract, question is, stick or twist, cost is going up and I do wonder what @SkyUK @SkyHelpTeam could offer as a returning customer, we shall see!

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

    @virginmedia I’ve just asked for all calls relating to my complaint over the past two years. You said no. So now I do a complaint against you with ico. I believe you will get a fine. Sorry.

  • AHeywood_84 Andy (@AHeywood_84) reported from Golborne, England

    @virginmedia I want to cancel my contract, why cant I do this over live chat or online without someone keeping me on the phone trying to sell me a deal that is far worse than you signed me up with!! Iffer me a good deal to keep me, ir just let me cancel without fuss, Sort it out!

  • TezzP Tezz P (@TezzP) reported from Haydock, England

    Another weekend, another issue with Virgin media broadband, this has to be the worst broadband ive ever had #flakyatbest @virginmedia

  • John_B58 John B (+) (@John_B58) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia 6pm is what you always seem to say, it’s lazy customer service and not very helpful at all to your current customers.

  • djmikey32 michael old (@djmikey32) reported from Garston, England

    @XboxLiveLogon @virginmedia No i dont i want great service and a engineer who turns up when they are scheduled to attend.

  • AHeywood_84 Andy (@AHeywood_84) reported from Golborne, England

    @virginmedia I want to cancel my contract, why cant I do this over live chat or online without someone keeping me on the phone trying to sell me a deal that is far worse than you signed me up with!! Offer me a good deal to keep me, or just let me cancel without fuss, Sort it out!

  • JamesWelsh2 James Welsh (@JamesWelsh2) reported from Halewood, England

    @virginmedia can you follow me so I can discuss a problem all my services have gone off and being told can’t be reconnected until Saturday

  • John_B58 John B (+) (@John_B58) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia My service hasn’t been down for days, it’s concerning that you don’t know that and so hardly surprising you can’t say when it’ll be back!

  • stefaniantiques Stefani Antiques (@stefaniantiques) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I joined yesterday and was expecting super fast fibre broadband and got intermittent slow. Liverpool L18 area. Not a good start. #regrets

  • Sauber_Dave David Kelly (@Sauber_Dave) reported from Maghull, England

    @virginmedia That was just a number to check if there were any known issues in my area. Not very helpful.

  • melaniehutton Melanie Hutton (@melaniehutton) reported

    @virginmedia hi can you help me with a VPN connection issue. I need an intrusive line test

  • sjm1976 Stuart Murtough (@sjm1976) reported

    @virginmedia Since we had the internet installed it constantly drops I have put in numerous complaints as we both work from home. The service is unworkable and is a waste of money! I just want to cancel my contract as I am at the end of my tether!

  • HolyEverest Holly Everett (@HolyEverest) reported

    @virginmedia @JibothySkimms It's down in SM1

  • MCFixer MC Fixer (@MCFixer) reported

    @virginmedia “No problem in my area” it's a joke it drops put for 10mins comes back drops out comes back the service has been poor for the last 3 months!

  • chrislepkowski Chris Lepkowski (@chrislepkowski) reported

    @CJHall83 @virginmedia @skytv Indeed. I've had problems with Sky in the past so avoid them these days. In fairness VM communication was very good

  • brokegirlincity Broke Girl in the City (@brokegirlincity) reported

    @virginmedia Selection 2 is for mobile. Also, I just get sent a link and then kicked off the service before I can speak to anyone. V. frustrating as the problem is not being able to get online to access my account or TV service.

  • 23drm Dean Masters (@23drm) reported

    @virginmedia Yes I have. Each and every day. But that doesn’t help when there’s no warning there will be issues and I have work to do. Really poor, especially when Hyperoptic look like they’re coming to the area.

  • 23drm Dean Masters (@23drm) reported

    @virginmedia It's just strange that the internet goes yesterday, comes back in the evening, works fine until this morning then goes again. Are you sure it's not planned works under the guise of a fault? Whatever it is, it's poor service, and is stopping me from working.

  • najeeb_nh Najeeb Hasan (@najeeb_nh) reported

    @virginmedia I am tired to call them again and again, they threatened me if I cancel my contract they will charge me more money to cancel early. One month past no one came for installation I think I deserve early cancellation contract

  • Black_King_Rass Sid Camavinga (@Black_King_Rass) reported

    So @virginmedia please explain why your customer services is such low standards.
