  • timmycooke
    Tim Cooke 🇺🇦 (@timmycooke) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia Both wired and wireless. We've had 8 engineers out, a rewire, new hub and still endless drop outs. Was told finally it was an upload issue from the amp that supplied the box on the street. But still we're having issues. The 150 number is joke, make it simple!!!

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

    @virginmedia Yes got the update thanks but not helpful receiving a text to say issue resolved, service has been off for 14 hours now, any background to reason why? Its a massive area to be out with no explanation

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

    Who in their right mind schedules planned maintenance for a Monday morning and says it could go on until three pm? Oh yeah, @virginmedia - cracking service as always #workfromhome #muppets

  • jmcloughlin
    Jamie McLoughlin (@jmcloughlin) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia according to your representative my wifi is working perfectly and I don’t have any issues! That’s a bit odd considering I no service what so ever!

    @les_murray71 @virginmedia This and their woeful customer service is why we binned them off mate

  • 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!

  • ShanklyBob77
    Ian Hawksey (@ShanklyBob77) reported from Aintree Village, England

    Absolute nightmare trying to watch @SkySportsF1 on my phone because of how poor @virginmedia are especially since merging with @o2, used to just put email and password in, now going around in circles with same message asking me to verify email link and switch, very poor practice.

  • EmsydilemsyL
    Emma Latham (@EmsydilemsyL) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia advice please! I’ve been a customer for over ten years and am also an o2 customer and my account is now going up by another £12 per month on a pretty basic package! Phoned twice and been told that someone will get back to me with a new price package - still nothing

  • John_Kelly17
    John Kelly (@John_Kelly17) reported from St Helens, England

    @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.

    @virginmedia 2 hours and counting Is anyone at the end of your customer service phone line?

  • earth_luma
    EarthLuma! (@earth_luma) reported

    @PaulaCoyscot I wouldn’t say I’m against it or anything, but like the sad wee sod I am, I wonder how our broadcasting system would be affected by it, considering how Ireland has a completely distinct system from the UK (with RTÉ, the Virgin Media network (which was TV3 until 2018), TG4, etc.)

  • the_only_abi
    Abby Brown (@the_only_abi) reported

    @BarbaraQCrow @virginmedia I had a good experience with them a couple of weeks ago too! Wanted to cancel as contract ending and prices going up (a lot!), did it via online chat and got same contract for less than we were paying. None of this messing about etc.

  • RabArmstrong77
    rab1977 (@RabArmstrong77) reported

    @virginmedia Just moved home. No broadband or tv. Service supposed to be connected yesterday. Been on hold for over 2hrs last night with no answer and now today 46mins and counting

  • billywi56359173
    billy winter (@billywi56359173) reported

    @virginmedia It’s ridiculous when you consider how much of a joke your service has been, feel like I’ve been getting robbed for years now that I’ve actually looked around at other suppliers, joke.

  • 6HLJ_
    Josh (@6HLJ_) reported

    Hi @virginmedia my internets back down again today. Any chance of flicking switch for a couple of hours? Ta Josh xoxoxo

  • punjabihammer
    Jay Ess Bee (@punjabihammer) reported

    @obbsie @virginmedia Hence I left and went to @SkyUK Their call centre isn’t a machine, and if you’re not happy with the initial contact ask to speak to a supervisor and problems do get resolved.

  • ambo1992
    Amber Carter ⎊ (@ambo1992) reported

    @virginmedia been trying to get through on live chat all day, it now appears to be completely broken. WhatsApp option doesn’t work either. Please can anyone help? Impossible to get through by any means

  • AnthonyBeds
    Anthony Beds 🇬🇩 (@AnthonyBeds) reported

    @virginmedia let me get this straight you have a chat bot that never works just sends you in loops also cannot contact a human agent, need to change V6 boxes to V60 but impossible because virgin media is uncontactable

  • crispinlewis
    Chip Lewis (@crispinlewis) reported

    @virginmedia @ChiBkSequels Hey Virgin media, I need to cancel/renegotiate my contract. 30days notice is due at latest next Friday. Do I have e to send you a letter of cancellation or can I actually speak to a human to discuss reduced services/broadband only option, before it’s too late?
