  • DarrenMoggie66 Darren (@DarrenMoggie66) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia That’s fine I’ve been in contact with CISAS in regards to your poor service and extremely poor customer service and me not receiving what I pay for

  • John_murphy1 John Murphy (@John_murphy1) reported from Formby, England

    @virginmedia Thanks, according to your website it’s a known issue and won’t be fixed till 9pm. Never mind, just hope it’s fixed sooner especially as TV is down too!

  • Shellifumi Steve Shelbourne (@Shellifumi) reported from Aintree Village, England

    @AllenWeso6 @1878shadow @virginmedia Just binned them off to go back to Sky. Been paying for the all singing and dancing fibre broadband and it’s slower then my work mobile router! TV picture is dog rough and my Virgin Mobile sim won’t take calls from anyone on the EE network when I’m connected to the WiFi! See ya!

  • Dan_Richards99 Daniel Richards (@Dan_Richards99) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia Have spoken to them (not overly helpful)... The Network has now dropped for the 3rd time today!

  • Shellifumi Steve Shelbourne (@Shellifumi) reported from Aintree Village, England

    @AllenWeso6 @1878shadow @virginmedia Same here sort of mate. Only noticed how poor it was since I stopped working away and started working from home.

  • TeelingChris Chris Teeling (@TeelingChris) reported from Ormskirk, England

    @KeithJBolton @virginmedia dont take no **** m8💪

  • ShaunAFitzy78 Shaun Fitzsimmons (@ShaunAFitzy78) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia I'm not a customer, I was just reciting what appears to be a generic message of customer service centre's, cheers anyway

  • MILoft91 Mark (@MILoft91) reported from Haydock, England

    I’m paying for 500mb broadband and it’s averaging 15mb?! Wtf @virginmedia

  • memcalea_maire Maire Cubbin (@memcalea_maire) reported from Wallasey, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for the info, leaving due to 6 weeks of problems and very many hours on the phone to yourselves trying to rectify . Told problems sorted when they clearly are not . Causing personal stress to me every time I make another long futile phone call to 150 ( waited 3hrs once)

  • Paulwhittle8 Whittle (@Paulwhittle8) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @GripperTake68 @virginmedia Virgin Media as a whole are shocking at providing any sort of customer service mate.

  • ShaunAFitzy78 Shaun Fitzsimmons (@ShaunAFitzy78) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @DaveRidgway2 @virginmedia 'We are experiencing really high call numbers at this time, most issues can be fixed online, or you may like to call back another time'...

  • memcalea_maire Maire Cubbin (@memcalea_maire) reported from Wallasey, England

    @virginmedia Mentioned but not offered as I think they know the problem isn’t in our home . The problem that’s been supposedly fixed is ongoing since 26th Jan . Our minimum download speed is supposed to hardwired at 181 . New router and we are lucky if we get 80 on a good day. Never mind 😞

  • John_murphy1 John Murphy (@John_murphy1) reported from Formby, England

    @virginmedia hi, the internet seems to be down in the Formby area (L37). Green flashing light on the modem and can’t get online. Any idea when it’ll be resolved. I’m working from home and need it back!

  • John_murphy1 John Murphy (@John_murphy1) reported from Formby, England

    @inyourentry @virginmedia Yeah, by Redgate. Been down since midday. My sister is on Park Road and with Virgin and she’s fine.

  • memcalea_maire Maire Cubbin (@memcalea_maire) reported from Wallasey, England

    @virginmedia Yes formal complaint ..... the problem is at your end I believe and we aren’t the only customers in the area affected . It’s just frustrating to be sent messages to say the problem is fixed when it’s clearly not . Enough stress in life without all of this . Leaving contract it is

  • memcalea_maire Maire Cubbin (@memcalea_maire) reported from Wallasey, England

    @virginmedia Thank you , as my husband said the other night we have spent hours on the phone this last month . Got told the other night this months bill will be suspended whilst they fix the problem . We will wait and see does any of the above happen then we will leave contract if not .

  • Dan_Richards99 Daniel Richards (@Dan_Richards99) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia Rang them before (not very helpful). The Network has now dropped out for the 4th time today!!!

  • memcalea_maire Maire Cubbin (@memcalea_maire) reported from Wallasey, England

    @virginmedia We are never off the phone to your team for a month now . It’s been escalated to the top apparently on our last call a couple of nights ago . Then we receive a message to say all is well when it’s clearly not . New router and everything . Looking to come out of contract now .

  • Dan_Richards99 Daniel Richards (@Dan_Richards99) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia 58.5 down and 36 up (wired)

  • gmshilly Greg Shillinglaw (@gmshilly) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia no broadband, is there problems in my area please?

    @virginmedia can’t get through on your customer service phone lines. Have an intermittent fault. How do I get this sorted?

  • moo2n bella4001 (@moo2n) reported

    @virginmedia @d6lad Virgin Media is terrible they let me down numerous time also they left their wires live and dangerous hanging out my front wall in which they caused early November since made many appointment but they didn’t turn up to fix it Terrible company Calls are answered from India not UK

  • lornamckain1 lorna mckain (@lornamckain1) reported

    @bankaudits1 @virginmedia Best decision i made years ago. in leaving Virgin media, too costly, rubbish service and crap customer service too.

  • TaDaa72 Trish (@TaDaa72) reported

    @virginmedia I’m a new customer. Can’t register for online a/c or app - sent from customer service line to SMS then to WhatsApp and told no one can help atm. Will be cancelling my a/c at this rate!

  • JohnWillis1984 John Willis (@JohnWillis1984) reported

    @virginmedia No I haven’t been given any reference numbers I’m afraid. I’m happy to talk to a manager about this in detail but I’m fed up on phoning to be promised something that never happens

  • kermit1015 kermit10 (@kermit1015) reported

    @virginmedia Well obviously this investing in your network is not working judging by the number of tweets about your network not working/dropping, if you offer a top service join OFCOM. They would judge if you offer a top service.

  • GM_Jordan GM Jordan (@GM_Jordan) reported

    The problem with @virginmedia is lack of customer service. I had one advisor said, your upgrade won't work we need to send you a bit of tech. Next advisor 'Nothing has been ordered, except the 360 remote we sent you last week.' 1/3

  • yellowpearl_uk Mark Wilson (@yellowpearl_uk) reported

    @virginmedia Well 2 days ago I was going to get a call back from a manager…twice. Neither of which materialised. 2 days ago I also submitted the web form complaint which has still not been acknowledged in spite of the 48hr SLA….

  • kentfoodgirl Kent food lass (@kentfoodgirl) reported

    @virginmedia Already back on site having identified the external issues and found a solution . Have given accurate info, update & contacts for people who can action issues. They could teach Virgin a few things. Now just have to wait on the connection to happen and hope Fibre was worth it.

  • KarenKi82032048 Karen King (@KarenKi82032048) reported

    @virginmedia Checked and engineers working on problem, had changed from when I checked before coming on here. Hopefully working when at home.
