    @SophieMEdwards @virginmedia Ours was the same, someone came out and fitted a booster few weeks ago but even that sometimes goes off. But this week it’s been awful

  • CharlieIDIC IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    Whatever you do think twice before joining @virginmedia it might look fast on paper but the 100mbs service is running slow in Kirkby when it runs at all. Customer service just blames Covid @VodafoneUK gave me prices really quickly by a lovely lady working from home

  • KathyyyLouiseee Kathy Louise (@KathyyyLouiseee) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I need to speak to someone urgently about Virgin showing a missed payment on my credit history back in August 2018, when I cancelled my internet back in June 2018 (which was made incredibly difficult by poor customer service at the time)

  • 2013jamiepep James Pepperd (@2013jamiepep) reported from St Helens, England

    I don't have an ariel or freeview I rely on your piece of shit @virginmedia #VirginMedia

  • clarebellla Clare B (@clarebellla) reported from Liverpool, England

    @stuart_harris91 @HighamSteve @virginmedia I never mentioned compo. My daughter works from home as well as myself now and it interrupted us yesterday so was just checking it was working before I went to bed last night.

  • CharlieIDIC IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia all about the money not about the service. In Kirkby Merseyside we have had a lot of outages since March and you are ignoring my requests for help by email, chat, FB, Twitter and don’t answer the phones. @VodafoneUK uk answered my web chat straight away

  • TLClassless Ben 🌶️ (@TLClassless) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @Jack1295 @DanCrea_ @virginmedia Yeah pretty much what Jack said, other intro prices for a lesser package also weren't as good, v sad. Yeah I've been thinking about doing an overhaul of my whole network, this might be the time to take the dive 😂

  • 2013jamiepep James Pepperd (@2013jamiepep) reported from St Helens, England

  • BillNightingale Bill (@BillNightingale) reported

    @virginmedia Never heard back from them. After months and trying every medium on offer I have been unable to speak to anyone to resolve the issue.

  • DonnaMcCheese Lady Rose (@DonnaMcCheese) reported

    @virginmedia DISGUSTED with the (lack of) service... had enough, I want my account cancelled! 🤬🤬🤬

  • jono_one john o'neill (@jono_one) reported

    @virginmedia Couldn't book an engineer, the technical team say there is a fault in the area that won't be fixed for over a week, having already been down nearly a week. I explained that the poor picture quality predated the dates given for the fault but they wouldn't help me

  • robbiederby Robin Palmer (@robbiederby) reported from Derbyshire, England

    Any existing customers wanting to upgrade to the new #Virgin360 box, don't use the online form, it doesn't work. You'll get a confirmation email followed by an email requesting you call them. Their customer service is very busy, but it's excellent on 0345 454 1111. #virginmedia

  • fletcherlittle fletcher little (@fletcherlittle) reported

    @virginmedia Media, the mobile account is even worse, was told I would have 1 direct debit, I now have 5,cgarged for a number I have never used, no idea what it is, wife has no credit for a month, was told account didn't exist, although I was paying £23 a month for it, just a shambles..

  • mitson33 Kate Mitson (@mitson33) reported

    @virginmedia COM104274432 one of the numbers you have is the phone that is the issue but you have had the number of one I am using the whole time

  • julie_almond Julie (@julie_almond) reported

    @virginmedia To be honest very rude, was a call centre abroad, said a manager would call me back within 2hrs, that was 3 weeks ago. Disgusting the way your customers are spoken to. Oh and I did request that call was recorded

  • nw3isme NW3isme (@nw3isme) reported
