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

    @virginmedia I had a problem a few weeks back and couldn’t get through to you because of the queues, I expect it’s the same now. I should learn my lesson and move to another provider I think.

  • emma1995_louise emma louise crowther (@emma1995_louise) reported from Tyldesley, England

    @virginmedia desperately in need of some help

  • KaraOrford Kara Orford (@KaraOrford) reported from Garston, England

    @virginmedia is there an issue with connectivity in L18 this morning at all please? My network is dropping out constantly and I can’t get anything done 😩 #pleasehelp

  • Kayls3457 Kayleigh Speakman (@Kayls3457) reported from Abram, England

    @virginmedia Again fully appreciate and understand that. However, elderly vulnerable person has to rely on this service and it is intermittent and not reliable

  • Scraggmeister Mark Spencer-Scragg (@Scraggmeister) reported from Seaforth, England

    @virginmedia Ok. Thanks for this suggestion. I have posted something on the ‘Community Forum’, but you’re my service provider. Why can’t you sort out my Broadband speed issue? I’m paying for something I’m not receiving. #baffled #gettingannoyednow

  • Scraggmeister Mark Spencer-Scragg (@Scraggmeister) reported from Seaforth, England

    @virginmedia Morning. If you’re still here for me, Broadband speed still only (max) 120mbs. Still paying for 350mbs & I’ve factory reset my hub twice. Can you help please? Thanks.

  • ListerTheStupid Rob (@ListerTheStupid) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia seen on your website you offer a free WiFi booster for 1Gig fibre customers. How do I get one? The WiFi sucks in some rooms

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

    @virginmedia It just says it looks like I can’t get on the internet and it recommends an engineer to come out. On the FOURTH OF JANUARY. During a pandemic when I’m working from home. I left @virginmedia because your service kept dropping, some things never change.

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

    @virginmedia You are not listening. I understand it fluctuates. What I mean is why have I had an acceptable 300meg signal for 11 months & now it’s dropped to below half that? 4 phone calls & two technician visits can’t sort it???? I want what I had!

  • Kayls3457 Kayleigh Speakman (@Kayls3457) reported from Abram, England

    @virginmedia After weeks of a landline service being non-existent I was assured this would be fixed yesterday, it's not! Vulnerable isolating person relies on this to keep in touch and in emergencies. Not good enough yet again. Fed up of feeling fobbed off!

  • Kayls3457 Kayleigh Speakman (@Kayls3457) reported from Abram, England

    @virginmedia I appreciate that, however, this is not the first time and I'm guessing it won't be the last. Praying a lot of money for a service that doesn't work!

  • Juliefundraiser Julie Lawson (@Juliefundraiser) reported from Seaforth, England

    Well done @virginmedia customer service at its worse. Rang to get help to open ports to get RING bell/video working argumentative staff parting shot pay us £20 and £5 per month we’ll sort your problem. You are a joke

  • PammyVegas21 Pamela Lavell (@PammyVegas21) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia I was going to go to a better provider but was assured that the price was guaranteed until May 2021. You have broken the terms of the contract AGAIN. How many mature citizens who aren’t as computer savvy get ripped off by you? How is this being allowed to happen? Shame on you

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

    @virginmedia The technician came on Wednesday & did a wired connection test. We are only getting 180meg which is terrible considering we are paying for 300meg! My children can’t get a signal at all whereas they were fine before! Two visits and still not resolved!

  • 2003mirror Lord David Hurn (@2003mirror) reported from Seaforth, England

    @virginmedia Ggod Afternoon I have been unable to contact you, having problems with the TiVo box all other equipment is working, the screen is pixelating not getters picture properly, done everything how can I get in touch using on line chat ?

  • AlisonHopkin Alison Wright ♌️ (@AlisonHopkin) reported from Ellesmere Port, England

    So I first get a call claiming to be from @skytv about tech issue on my broadband I said how’s can that be (I’m not with them) they hang up. Not more than 30 mins later same type of call claiming to be @virginmedia about same issue. Numbers calling me are 01639686677, 01793635483

  • Allenwalkden Woggy (@Allenwalkden) reported from St Helens, England

    .@virginmedia it's Christmas Eve and your crappy internet is down again, can't stream any films, been shocking service all year

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

    Sigh. Yet another @virginmedia broadband issue where it’s gone down. Again. Feels like this is a monthly thing now.

  • HelenLMoran HLM (@HelenLMoran) reported from Garston, England

    @virginmedia I need to cancel an engineer appointment. I can’t do it online and I don’t have a password to get through on the phone

  • HelenLMoran HLM (@HelenLMoran) reported from Garston, England

    I hate to call a company out online but @virginmedia are awful

  • maggsheap Maggie Heap (@maggsheap) reported from Bury, England

    @virginmedia DO NOT listen to their customers. Six times I have asked them to contact me after 6.00 pm only for their staff to ring me while I am in work and are really rude when I say its not convenient to talk. @virginmedia do one and stop harrassing me

    @virginmedia hi I’m about to move to a new apartment but it appears the apartments aren’t connected to virgin and can’t have it installed what can I do if I’m not able to bring virgin with me can I cancel?

  • AslamRehima Rehima Aslam (@AslamRehima) reported from Bradford, England

    @virginmedia Exactly the same. No WiFi signal. This is the second day. I'm paying for this and I except to be reimbursed. You wouldn't expect to go to the supermarket and not get the groceries you paid for would you?

  • David_19641 David G (@David_19641) reported from Fingal County, Leinster
