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

  • 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?

  • NdawanaY

    @virginmedia They worked on it, or so I thought. I was told they fixed some external connections issue (outside the house)

    Emma (@EmmaZhaan64) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia All internet is down, wireless and wired; the hub light is white and it’s a Hub 3.0.

  • jgrailpics
    James (@jgrailpics) reported from Liverpool, England

    When will I be able to go just one single day without @virginmedia failing, cannot wait until next year when the contract is over, increase the bills but reduce the service to next to nothing?

  • 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

  • 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.

  • DoctorRood
    DRood 🏳️‍🌈🎗 (@DoctorRood) reported from Chester, England

    @virginmedia I never expected any engineer, because I'm aware it's an outage that affects a lot of people. But your CS responses could be a lot better.

  • 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. 🦄

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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

  • TheWiganParky
    Laser Lux, Wigan. (@TheWiganParky) reported from Haydock, England

    @virginmedia If my bill went down with my speed, I wouldn't mind.

  • jgrailpics
    James (@jgrailpics) reported from Liverpool, England

    Completely pathetic useless company @virginmedia Every single day there's some sort of problem EVERY SINGLE DAY Can't wait til this contracts over, after that in a bit useless crap

  • 1AnneMcCormack
    Anne McCormack (@1AnneMcCormack) reported from Billinge Chapel End, England

    @virginmedia I tell them to ring 999 or 0151 709 6010 if they want to report a crime. They hang up but they sound South Asian and their English is poor. I worry about other oaps being conned. Good luck chasing them.

    @virginmedia hi, is there a broadband issue in B44? I work from home and unable to connect

  • lambypies
    SJL (@lambypies) reported

    @Stsantek @virginmedia Yeap, happened to me too. I asked on the phone if there was any evidence of this "Contract" The call handler said point blank it didn't matter. The really annoying thing is the actual broadband is really good. Fast, reliable and only the odd day down for maintenance.

  • salemsdaughters
    Kingofsalemsdaughter (@salemsdaughters) reported

    Mishandling calls isnt reserved for virgin media but the NHS and all their staff members. I received a long awaited call from 111 regarding my toddler. Id like to note its very late and he is now asleep. Before id even said hello after answering the phone call she rudely asked if i can hear her not even saying hello herself. That was an indication the rest of the call was going to be pointless. WTF?

  • MrRWatts
    Ryan (@MrRWatts) reported

    @virginmedia trying to reach a human as you've cancelled my broadband early and your IVR? No wonder you got fined 28million... any chance of actually getting help from someone?

  • whisperwoIf
    harley ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ (@whisperwoIf) reported

    @housecatkai @virginmedia i have mixed opinions on them, like they've provided the fastest internet speeds i've had out of other ISPs we've been with (sky, BT and talktalk) but our services always go down at least once a month and it's infuritating 😭😭

  • nubnutts
    Matthew Lock (@nubnutts) reported

    @Stsantek @virginmedia damn i feel bad for you, i mean i pay £40 for gigabit on VM

    @virginmedia Hi Virgin My internet has gone down again this fourth time in a month se my previous messages

  • zahid_ramzan

    @virginmedia internet service down since 1 PM Birmingham anyone else having issues?

  • worleyyy
    Dan Worley (@worleyyy) reported

    @virginmedia You clearly don't take it seriously enough. I've complained multiple times over the last year and because I haven't made a complaint twice in one month you won't do anything and force me to pay a £400 fee to exit my contract. Utter horrendous service!! Worst internet company ever

  • charldimond
    Charlotte Dimond (@charldimond) reported

    @virginmedia Hub box is stuck on a reboot cycle with ‘welcome’ ‘please wait’ and virgin media logo screen. Nothing is happening. I’ve rebooted several times for the past hour. Please can you advise? I cannot get through to the customer service via the phone.
