  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia To be honest, the issue is an intermittent fault. My wife works from home and the broadband just drops out numerous times a day. Then comes back on. It’s only worthwhile doing a remote test if it’s when it drops out. Otherwise all will look fine

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

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

  • EmmaZhaan64
    Emma (@EmmaZhaan64) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia according to your representative my wifi is working perfectly and I don’t have any issues! That’s a bit odd considering I no service what so ever!

  • 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.

  • aralph50
    Amanda Ralph (@aralph50) reported from Liverpool, England

    Please sort this out. You charge enough, surely we are entitled to a service that actually works??@virginmedia #virginmedia

    Jack Kelly (@realjackoh187) reported from Widnes, England

    @virginmedia Just wifi, the phones tablets tv all just going off randomly. I have now booked a technician but I have been doing the troubleshooting for 2 days and its saying the issue is being fixed. Its only today they have said to send a technician

  • EmsydilemsyL
    Emma Latham (@EmsydilemsyL) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia advice please! I’ve been a customer for over ten years and am also an o2 customer and my account is now going up by another £12 per month on a pretty basic package! Phoned twice and been told that someone will get back to me with a new price package - still nothing

  • 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.

    @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

    Elisabeth Hilton (@elisabethhilto4) reported from Lowton, England

    @virginmedia Trying to make a complaint - signed up to a deal I clearly asked not to be. Your website doesn’t work and can’t get through on the phone. Can someone please dm me with a way to speak to someone urgently

  • tuite_liz
    Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia my internet has been down since Friday afternoon. I was told it would be fixed in 24 hours, the time has since changed and is currently at 8pm this evening. I work from home so need my internet back up and running before Monday morning. This is disgraceful

  • TRSafcw
    Trevor (@TRSafcw) reported from Headley, England

    @Leemhammond @virginmedia Same on Now TV, must be a Sky issue.

  • EnarialP
    Enarial Perry (@EnarialP) reported

    @virginmedia @JoyB40 TV services are down countrywide it seems. The Virgin service checker doesn't work either. An acknowledgement that there is a problem & a statement of what is going on would be helpful.

  • BenthamDeborah
    Deborah Bentham 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 (@BenthamDeborah) reported

    @JoshCF_ I’m with virgin media going up to £92 pm for phone & broadband when contract ends in September. I’ve been happy with the service but over £50 pm difference going with sky is just ridiculous.

  • Bloodrave1984
    Jim Harrigan (@Bloodrave1984) reported

    @virginmedia Fix your internet because I've been getting disconnects and reconnect every few minutes. This is not good enough given the bill I pay, I expect reliable service. BB8 postcode
