    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

  • 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.

    lloyd #utft (@111O1O1O11O) reported from Wallasey, England

    No service in CH44 for 2 days last week, back on for 2, then off again today. No text updates but service status says a fix by 20.00. Won't happen though will it? @virginmedia

    @DoctorLemma Well done . Always had great service from @virginmedia just cant afford them anymore.

  • Nicolajb87
    Nicola Bates (@Nicolajb87) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia can you help my mum and dad they have had no telephone line since yesterday. The internet also went off but that seems to be back on now. It’s vital we get the phone on asap

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

    @virginmedia No, they just left. Rang your customer service they are now telling me the problem is internal. I’ve had no internet since July, no tv since August. It’s beyond a joke now. 5 visits I’ve had.

  • lurkinhead
    Martin Travis (@lurkinhead) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia Okay, but with respect, the problem is your call centre say different stuff every time, which inevitably bears no resemblance to reality. Later, VM deny those conversations ever took place and there is no written evidence to back up what was agreed. That's what I am after here?

  • 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

    @virginmedia The nightmare continues!!! Buffering is now a way of life for us. As is watching any programme on a streaming service in short two minute bites!

    Internet down no good when working home #virginmediadown #virginmedia

  • Parleyyyyyy
    Josh (@Parleyyyyyy) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I’ve just done that. If you watch the video though you’ll see it doesn’t even let me get to the login page. As soon as I click on virgin media customer it tries to take me to a website & then closes down

  • 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.

  • AckerHeron
    Tony (@AckerHeron) reported from Liverpool, England

    Hi @virginmedia, my dear old mum has been on the phone for 20 minutes because her broadband has gone down. Your advisors keep saying to reset the hub and disconnecting before it's sorted. Any ideas? Still using the crap one you sent years ago despite her recontracting

  • fos100
    Richard Foster (@fos100) reported from New Longton, England

    Since I moved, the @virginmedia connection has been terrible. I’ve had an engineer out, had a booster put on, been told on numerous occasions to reboot the hub. This shouldn’t be needed. Their website is horrendous to use and largely involves linking to help guides 1/?

  • les_murray71
    Lesley Murray (@les_murray71) reported from Wallasey, England

    @MarkKav15119614 @virginmedia Well my bills ain't getting paid today so will get charges, anything i try to do on apps / chrome not working, twitter on and off

  • obpls1995
    owen southworth (@obpls1995) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia can you explain why the moment I told your staff over the phone that I was disabled they decided to speak to me as if I was an idiot and then tell me they can't help me because I can't spell out my password despite telling them 5 times what the password was.

  • 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.

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

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

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

    @virginmedia Nobody can help me, they just keep asking for patience. They’ve had since august to fix it. It’s unacceptable.

  • 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.

  • MonsterMikeyG
    mike gorman💙 (@MonsterMikeyG) reported

    @JamieGBarry @virginmedia I cancelled @virginmedia after 15years last week as my bill hit £200. They offered me a decent package but I said no. Phoned me over 6 times over the next 2 days before I answered only for them to offer me a worse deal than the one I turned down. Madness

  • racenerd2
    racenerd2 (@racenerd2) reported

    @virginmedia @JamieGBarry @virginmedia This really is a terrible response. The price goes up because the price goes up. Seriously? We were with you for years, but got sick of the constant increases and the depressingly asymmetric customer interface... trivial to move to a higher cost contract, but reducing the cost involves sitting on hold then speaking to an overseas call centre. This business model screams desperation. It's customer hostile. Please, wake up and pack it in. We're now with Toob, £29/mo for 900M+ fibre. We ported our phone number to a VoIP service for about £2.99/mo and don't miss the ad-stuffed cable TV channels at all.

    @virginmedia Your WiFi is AWFUL

  • DanielCasey7
    Daniel Casey (@DanielCasey7) reported

    @virginmedia @JamieGBarry @virginmedia we shouldn't have to move through three call centre departments, 20 requests to cancel the contract only to be hard sold a more expensive contract, eventually the cancellation request is accepted, then the retentions dept can actually offer a fair deal.

    @virginmedia @JamieGBarry Idiots I left and will never go back rip off merchants!

    @virginmedia @PeteUK7 3months to update an auto send template. Media savvy VM at the cutting edge of tech and customer service.

  • pauliebwillcox
    Pauliebwillcox💙 (@pauliebwillcox) reported

    @virginmedia I upgraded to Virgin360, it's been a nightmare- 4 times the box has reset & lost all our recordings, it fails to records things and its been impossible to get any help - we've been with you with no problems for decades, can you get me some help before I move to Sky?

  • FractalDoctor
    Dr Stuart Woolley (@FractalDoctor) reported

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia Had exactly the same situation last year with a close relative. Complete shambles that took many mails and waiting on hold on the phone to resolve, then sending back boxes of crap that would no doubt go into landfill. I'd recommend avoiding them at all costs, for anyone.

  • WeHearYou2020
    WeHearYou (@WeHearYou2020) reported

    @virginmedia @rafthemaster They offer an awful service. When there was a national outage a fee weeks ago our main box coincidentally went off and stopped working. Spent nearly two hours on the phone waiting and then trying to explain our problem. We were promised a new box. Still waiting. Shocking service.

    @JamieGBarry @virginmedia Once our contract is up we are off from virgin media. Terrible company
