    Having the choice of the awful customer service of @virginmedia or the @bt_uk network which in my area might as well be two tin cans tied together with string is great!

    Andrew (@andym1908) reported from Warrington, England

    @skytv @skytv . I am disappointed with your customer service and technical team . They have disconnected my sky viewing card . Why ?. I want rectifyying ASAP . Or shall I just cancel my subscription and go over to virgin media

  • 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

  • Nicolajb87
    Nicola Bates (@Nicolajb87) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Im not free no but shes managed to get a whats app going although the numbers they are giving her are not working. She just wants her phone to work.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

    @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.

  • StuartWilksHeeg
    Stuart Wilks-Heeg (@StuartWilksHeeg) reported from Seaforth, England

    @tonymc39 @virginmedia Really, truly shockingly terrible.

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

    @les_murray71 @virginmedia Still saying 12.05 on the app Lesley .... have they put that new estimated fix time out elsewhere? 😱

  • NdawanaY
    Ndawana Youngson (@NdawanaY) reported from Liverpool, England

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

  • AndyMcK1982
    Andy McKeown (@AndyMcK1982) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia @virginhelp We have just signed up for a broadband/phone package. We were recommended by a friend. They never gave us a code though as they are a pensioner. We were told to simply give her details in but the operative would not accept. Can we still get a code after?

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

    @virginmedia I reported a total loss of service on 31/8. It was finally fixed this morning. After no shows, lies and weeks between visits. They have not even offered to cover the cost of my last 3 dd’s which I wish I hadn’t paid as I had no service whatsoever

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

    @VirginMedia Received message. Now not accepting my email address. I have one only. My problem is with the remote control which is activated by pressing 2 buttons when they light up. Have had nothing but trouble with one remote for one TV. Your communication us not helpful.

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

    @virginmedia It’s to our address, we need a full repull and was told it would be done within 48hrs. This issue has been going on for months, they were just telling me to reboot the hub.

  • MarkLangshaw
    Mark Langshaw (@MarkLangshaw) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Was Thursday or Friday but you never call me back when you say you will, so I'm not confident it will be completed unless I keep chasing it up.

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

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

  • 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?

  • TimmyJ1972
    Tim Jackson (@TimmyJ1972) reported from Garston, England

    @virginmedia I’d love to hear from how I’m supposed to report an issue with my broadband. You can’t do it via live chat and seemingly not via the phone either as you’re “experiencing difficulties”

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

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

  • ChrisWAzure
    Chris Wright (@ChrisWAzure) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia ..i don't know what manager in any way of life won't speak to a customer! I called back and spoke to another member of the team, who has logged it as a complaint, a manager is calling me today and he is looking what he can do for a 93 year old. Being forced to pay £105 a month...

  • NeedMoreCourage
    Lacking Courage (@NeedMoreCourage) reported

    @virginmedia We have lost faith in your organisation's ability to listen or fix the problem! Poorly trained staff or systems seem to not help & if a scripted system then just puts you into a repetitive loop.

  • melon_h
    Helen Rimmer @thekindbraveleader.bsky.social (@melon_h) reported

    We now have a @virginmedia engineer booked but not until Tuesday, cue loss of earnings, money spent on extra data and petrol to go to my parents to try and use internet. Issue was definitely local area but now been told need engineer. 5 days after first went off.

  • Lord_Arse
    Lord Arse! (@Lord_Arse) reported

    @markrmifsud @virginmedia Oh, back down again since 9:30pm. Looks like we were one of the lucky ones who were able to use our services for a day. Would be nice to know what the actual issue is @virginmedia? Some people have had no service for days now in our postcode.

  • garyb007
    Gary Broadbent (@garyb007) reported

    @TezzaBelle88 @virginmedia Yep, pretty standard. By miles, the worst customer service I've ever experienced. What's more, nobody seems to want to improve it.

  • DrBaalt
    ♛ 𝔹𝕒𝕒𝕝𝕥 (@DrBaalt) reported

    @footballontnt What’s the deal with TNT Sports and Virgin media and the HBO app. Signed up. But the app doesn’t allow access. And for that reason I’ll be gone in 30 days. This time forever. Such a ridiculous solution. Doesn’t work. So it’s gone and so is my business. Forever.

  • sinead_smith13
    sineadsmith (@sinead_smith13) reported

    @virginmedia Your apps not working now

  • CillianMcLough1
    Cease Fire Now- #EndTheGenocide (@CillianMcLough1) reported

    @Galway_Dweller 👍And that's the real problem. They either have broadsheet columns or a revolving door to rte radio, TV and virgin media.

  • SP1CYGAMIN
    SP1CYGAMIN (@SP1CYGAMIN) reported

    @virginmedia hi, my wife is struggling to access her account, she's tried resetting her password and whatnot and still can't get into her account, any help with this would be appreciated, thank you

  • cschmeer
    Christian Schmeer (@cschmeer) reported

    @virginmedia Thank you, but unfortunately there’s no alternative placement as the next power socket would be through a wall and 10 meters down the hallway, which might help with the overheating, but it all my network connections run to the cupboard by the entrance.

    @virginmedia how stupid is that to push an update to my router/hub in the middle of the ******* day? How the hell am I supposed to work without internet?
