    @virginmedia Just managed to get hold of someone, and apparently after over 10 years of no problems I now need WiFi boosters at an extra cost to myself all of a sudden, they couldn't tell me why just trying to squeeze more money out of me

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • DannyLannon

    @Louisewafc @virginmedia Nice of Stoke fans turn up to support us

  • Radebreast
    Graeme Radebe (@Radebreast) reported from Ormskirk, England

    @virginmedia Hi - Ive noticed alot of people are having the same issues. Its the Sky TV Go app on Playstation 4. Ive checked it on another internet and it works fine so it is definitely an error on your side. You need to sort the internet settings. It struggles to load “on Now” on the app.

    @CruisingTheCut I’ve had very few issues with virgin media - depends if you need TV though. Otherwise I’ve heard very good things about over the air using the three network or EE.

  • 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. 🦄

    @virginmedia what’s going on virgin no tv since Friday morning told 5th now 6th no messages nothing paying for nothing compensation rates garbage nothing should take this long with a company like virgin L4 area

  • NatashaVic
    Capitã Nat (@NatashaVic) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Can I speak to a human, please? It’s impossible to speak to anyone here. I paid for my bill via bank transfer more than a week ago and it hasn’t been registered. Phone service is not recognising my password and I can’t find a live chat.

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

    @virginmedia All the while taking my direct debit payments for a service I am not getting

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

    @virginmedia are an absolute joke. Was told to call back at half 6 and guess what? They’re shut! And again, no engineer visit. Getting cancelled 1st thing in the morning. Over a month of total loss of service, piss take. #avoid

    @JamesSymes8 Virgin Media. It keeps going really bad.

    @virginmedia your Internet sucks

  • 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.

  • agarnett
    Adam (@agarnett) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia Is there any way to tell if there are signal issues in your area? This says i should get 4g indoors and outdoors, i dont though i can barely access mobile internet from my house. Last 3 months have been awful

  • Gary_Kilroy
    Gary Kilroy (@Gary_Kilroy) reported from Liverpool, England

    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!

  • 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?

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

    @virginmedia They’ve been today apparently to do the repull and nothing has changed. Still no service. I won’t be paying this month as I’m not paying for nothing.

    @virginmedia How can I cancel it when I’m told to wait over an hour on the phone it’s ridiculous

  • Tas_Panteli
    Tas Panteli (@Tas_Panteli) reported

    @virginmedia I the time of my tweet there wasn’t anything on the website to say there was a fault,It’s fixed but internet still very slow and has been for the last few weeks I didn’t think it would be this bad after upgrading to the 200m

  • ruprect01
    Andy Potter (@ruprect01) reported

    @virginmedia Your Service is appalling, I’m on my 8th phone call to your call center and after hanging on for 50 minutes I get transferred only to get cut off

  • MandaTreherne
    Amanda Treherne (@MandaTreherne) reported

    @virginmedia just upgraded to TV 360 and it keeps stopping and telling us service is suspended. After 4 phone calls and speaking with 6 people spending 4 hrs on the phone and each time being told it is fixed I can assure you it IS STILL NOT WORKING and we are in a queue AGAIN!!

  • Nicole15775221
    Nicole (@Nicole15775221) reported

    @ClaireDonn11 @virginmedia I have found that writing a letter to Head Office / Complaints team is better than the other ways of contacting them. Once I was given a UK representative number to escalate the issue. It takes longer but you'll get a better result.

  • reegutd

    **** you constantly dropping a wired connection paying mega money for shite net @virginmedia

  • MattDe_Giorgio

    soph 🐾 (@sophiegalvinx) reported

    @virginmedia This doesn’t solve our query about who rang to cancel our account and that you allowed this to happen? I am the account holder and it should of gone through me you haven’t contacted me at all?
