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

    @virginmedia is there an issue with the Netflix app? I haven’t been able to access it in over a week.

  • GaryBeggs_8 Gary Beggs (@GaryBeggs_8) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia can’t get through on the phone, so you launch an app to manage your own account, then when you try and make changes it sends you to a chat option which also you can’t get through on. Your service is an absolute joke !

  • Swell09 Swell ✌🏻 (Pronoun: She/Her) (@Swell09) reported from Seaforth, England

    @DeannaLouise93 @virginmedia We’ve had nothing but issues as well D!! I raised a complaint and they keep saying they can’t contact us! Nobody has called my dad! Still having issues after two engineers!

  • charl_middo Charlotte Louise Middleton (@charl_middo) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia what is the problem with the broadband in the L9 area?! It’s been dodgy for weeks now and my husband now has to use his phone as a hotspot to be able to actually work from home because the broadband is so shocking!

  • Sarahsgracesmum Clare Marie Watson (@Sarahsgracesmum) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia executive team emailed on 16th Feb to say they would deal with my issue within 28 days. Still waiting whilst you've taken more money for a useless service...I smell a sinking ship

  • KarlTwist Karl Twist (@KarlTwist) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia Please have somebody contact me, I’ve been with you less than a week and I’ve had nothing but problems. It’s been a shocking early experience

  • ConnorTWilson Connor Wilson (@ConnorTWilson) reported from Birkenhead, England

    Virgin Media WiFi is honestly the worst to be with. Trying to watch films using the WiFi and its going off every 10 minutes. Nothing to do with our signal or our bill, it's just plain shite. Are they gonna sort it out? Are they ****

  • ThePhilAtkinson Phil (@ThePhilAtkinson) reported from Liverpool, England

    Virgin Media is ******* awful. Anyone know of another Internet provider that isn't complete dogshit?

  • GailCharnock Gail Charnock (@GailCharnock) reported from Shevington, England

    @virginmedia You are aware of the problem, told us it's a fault and it's being fixed by 12th April, it wasn't, we rang, you gave us reassurance it will be fixed by the 22nd, it hasn't, we rang got passed around a lot! Now you say it will be fixed 29th. Hands up if you would put up with this?

  • DannyWyattXXX Danny Wyatt | OnlyFans 25% off (@DannyWyattXXX) reported from St Helens, England

    Anybody else having Virgin media problems? #virginmediadown

  • KarlTwist Karl Twist (@KarlTwist) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia No account info to login, no mobile sim card and poor broadband speeds. No ownership from anyone I’ve spoken to so far and no clearer if/when issues will be sorted. Where do I stand with cooling off period to cancel?

  • Aleyy Aley. (@Aleyy) reported from Formby, England

    Trying to do an online course where @virginmedia is being a waste of space is just wonderful 👍🏼🙃 keep increasing the price yet never improve their speed. 🖕🏼

  • ConnorTWilson Connor Wilson (@ConnorTWilson) reported from Birkenhead, England

    Honestly I could rant for ages about how bad Virgin media WiFi is, and they never seem to make an effort to improve it

  • SammyKnowlesX SJK (@SammyKnowlesX) reported from Banks, England

    @virginmedia can someone explain that why after several issues I’ve had with you, that you think it’s ok, to hike up the bill £20 a month on a fixed fee contract?! #disgusting #poorservice #donotrecommend

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

    @virginmedia Thank you , so I’m good to cancel my direct debit then? I mean if we are currently £84 in credit and our disconnection will be before the next bill date . I didn’t know if money was returned via the DD method but if it’s cheque then we are good to cancel our direct debit ? TIA .

  • lynielou72 Lyne (@lynielou72) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia your customer service is shocking, can't get through on a number and been chatting online for over an hour now still no nearer resolution.

  • Elle83 Michelle E (@Elle83) reported from Walton le Dale, England

    @virginmedia why does my super hub 3 keep resetting my WiFi password. I’m having to change it through settings every other day because it keeps defaulting back to the security key, this is causing major issues

  • BenjiMaccers Benji McLoughlin (@BenjiMaccers) reported from Haydock, England

    @virginmedia Your online checker tells me my line is fine. It’s not. There was an outage yesterday, it came back on and now it’s off again. I’ve restarted the hub multiple times.

  • GoMcMahon #DocMartin (@GoMcMahon) reported

    @virginmedia how can you offer new customers £29/month, for the same service you charge me £63/month for? And you're about to increase my rate by £4/month 😡 Loyalty means nothing!

  • SMulligan95 Stephen Mulligan (@SMulligan95) reported

    @virginmedia I have been mis-sold a package when applying to move property. I have spoke now to 4 different people within your company who have not been able to rectify the issue !

  • Mikel_1Love 🏴‍☠️💚🖤一つの愛 Mikel 🇩🇪🇳🇱🇬🇧🇪🇺 (@Mikel_1Love) reported

    @virginmedia Finally managed to speak to an agent on the phone. I got 2 sentences in and she hung up on me. This after the auto service somehow transferred me to faults after making multiple billing selections and needing to then be passed around. This really isn't on.

  • davearfon David Arfon Hughes (@davearfon) reported

    @virginmedia Was on the phone trying to change my bundle . initially got through but a mistake was made your end , so we tried again several times. 10+ years customer , always happy to take my money but never happy to sort out problems or help. The one person was rude with zero people skill

  • BrightonBetter Better Brighton (@BrightonBetter) reported

    Hey @virginmedia been on hold to you to change services/cancel. Twice for 15 minutes and cut of twice. Current hold time is 27 minutes?

  • jt0the3c Jon Comer (@jt0the3c) reported

    @virginmedia don’t honour their offers, never use their broadband.

  • akaGass Garry (@akaGass) reported

    @SophieAnneUK @virginmedia I’ve been waiting for them to roll it out down east shore but glad they haven’t! @ChompSAFC you had any bother?

  • InTheClaire82 C L A I R E (@InTheClaire82) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, it seems to be sorted now. It was only ever the broadband that was the issue and it was across all devices.

  • DenJo24 Denise Day (@DenJo24) reported

    @virginmedia That there wasn't a problem and I had to call from another phone which was no help. Others in the area are having similar problems. Was any work done on masts recently?
