  • gms11uk Geoff (@gms11uk) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Stay disconnected should be the tag 1 hour waiting to get through on the phone to get a 24 hour fix to go back the next day to the same no connection They direct you to the web but it does not answer your question My recommendation dont trust a virgin experience no

  • NealJFletcher Neal Fletcher (@NealJFletcher) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Nope, no outages. It’s been the same for days now. As I say, it seems a common issue with your customers and has been for well over a year

  • mcknut John McKerrell (@mcknut) reported from Liverpool, England

    @SayBeano @virginmedia Just cancel and switch. Been very happy with @VodafoneUK gigafast for a few months

  • angusgillan Angus Gillan (@angusgillan) reported from Seaforth, England

    @SkyHelpTeam @SummersCJ But it works with your Virgin Media login via the mobile app so not a sign in issue? Loads of people have the same issue. @SkyHelpTeam maybe it's a fault your end?

  • Sarahsgracesmum Clare Marie Watson (@Sarahsgracesmum) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia been a customer for 10 years. Bills going up again and customer service less than helpful. Amazing deals for new customers though😡

  • Anobrdedphoto AnotherBeardedphotographer (@Anobrdedphoto) reported from Birkenhead, England

    Anyone else with @virginmedia on the wirral having Internet problems? Not had anything for 2 days. Called to check fault an automated voice says there's an issue and cuts off.

  • PHEFC83 PH (@PHEFC83) reported from Liverpool, England

    @TonyhEFC @mickwickjunior @virginmedia Phoned them, she messed around with settings and ****. Back to 100mb earlier. Still swerving them though. Been shite for about 2 weeks

  • jm_donnelly James Donnelly (@jm_donnelly) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia STOP BEING SHITE!!!! Am I not even allowed to browse the internet now or have the @premierleague got you gripped so tight you have to ruin it for us all? Don’t expect you to respond. You never do 🙃enjoy my last bill cos im getting off 👋🏻

  • peter0raw Peter Rawcliffe (@peter0raw) reported from Seaforth, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I’ve been on the phone for nearly an hour for the 3rd time this weekend. Can someone get in touch ASAP as my TiVo box has stopped working. I’ve tried all online support and cannot get through to anyone. Very frustrating!!!

  • NealJFletcher Neal Fletcher (@NealJFletcher) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia No, the picture still looks like I’m watching TV on a cheese grater. Looking at a few threads on your forum this isn’t a new issue either, customers have been experiencing this for well over a year. How’s about I stop paying for the TV part of the package until it’s sorted??

  • liverpoolsusie1 Sue (@liverpoolsusie1) reported from Seaforth, England

    just cancelled my @virginmedia account after 30 plus years, If you're a new customer you can get the package I was on plus extra channels and other benefits for over £30 less a month, but existing customers can't, no loyalty to customers what so ever,

  • angusgillan Angus Gillan (@angusgillan) reported from Seaforth, England

    @SkyHelpTeam @DaveC_BD Same, can't login to Sky Sports using my Virgin Media details on the website but can via the mobile app. Is the problem at your end?

  • GaryLiverpool Gary (@GaryLiverpool) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I have brought the box from upstairs down well my son in law has and plugged it in now working Yet again the service from u is poor my bill goes up service goes down I still need the engineer on Wednesday as pixelating still

  • goldenhornet Nick Foster 🇬🇧🇪🇺 (@goldenhornet) reported

    I didn't think @virginmedia could make the help desk experience any more excruciating, but the use of @WhatsApp instead of regular online chat means they can put you on hold for literal days! 😧 I'm going to return to just sitting on the phone for hours.

  • pearceswan David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported

    @virginmedia 2/2 I called technical department to advise them of the damage five times and nothing happened, I am Google and then reported it to another department which tend to feel a six months, No investment near my area! It’s unjustified, we need to talk.

  • leeds_loafer Leeds Loafer (@leeds_loafer) reported

    @virginmedia any danger of the Edinburgh outage been resolved or have you just given up?

  • karenfuat Karen Fuat (@karenfuat) reported

    The worst customer service I have ever experienced @virginmedia

  • ABZ_Designs Ambitionz® (@ABZ_Designs) reported

    @virginmedia Took out the bundle with the O2 contract and was promised I wouldn’t be charged for the O2 contract until services were installed. Being charged for the last 3 months with O2 and now I can’t cancel the contract even though I have cancelled the virgin install

  • Bandit72 Gareth (@Bandit72) reported

    @virginmedia You can have the most polite customer service in the world, but with all due respect, if you're advertising a service you cannot provide then in the words of @Lord_Sugar it's a complete SHAMBLES. @richardbranson

  • popspride Amy Cauldwell (@popspride) reported

    @virginmedia dissapointed in your customer service training! Got tied in to a new contract 1 day ago. Assured I could cancel this within 14 days and still give 30 days for old contract! Tried to cancel and now I need to pay £260+. Read your own T& Cs #dissapointedcustomer

  • LittleToRelate Phil King (@LittleToRelate) reported

    @geofftech @VodafoneUK Interesting. I had the same problem over BT Broadband several years ago (Twitter images not loading). None of the support staff even understood my description of the problem - kept testing the connection and saying it was working 🤦. The main reason I moved to Virgin Media.

  • WaTTo_1993 Alex Watson (@WaTTo_1993) reported

    @virginmedia Just got cut off after being on hold to the cancellation department for almost an hour. Personal circumstances forcing me to leave, I wouldn't have chosen to as no problems before, but not pleased with not being able to get through to you!
