  • trottermick Mavis Cartwright (@trottermick) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia That doesn’t explain why you said you could help. I already knew where to ring and told you that I had done that many times, to no avail! I doubt that the matter is in hand and that I will ever get the promised call back,but I will certainly let you know!

  • trottermick Mavis Cartwright (@trottermick) reported from Wigan, England

    @EmmettGraham @virginmedia I actually took the option of “Are You Thinking Of Leaving Us” earlier. I was answered quite quickly, but nothing was resolved. I was, as usual transferred to somebody else and then on hold for 10mins. Still nothing resolved with my issue, Good Luck to you.

  • brownpigeon1 Brown Pigeon (@brownpigeon1) reported from Liverpool, England

    @APATBillShep @virginmedia Been blaming my connection problems on knackered laptop in the Swan, but general concensus appears to be that @virginmedia is just crap

  • paulridgway95 paul ridgway (@paulridgway95) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia Tivo box was on for about 20 mins then shut down and re booted it's self

  • trottermick Mavis Cartwright (@trottermick) reported from Wigan, England

  • trottermick Mavis Cartwright (@trottermick) reported from Wigan, England

    @EmmettGraham @virginmedia Well I can’t say I’m surprised! The other week I was on hold for almost an hour, then was cut off, never actually got through!! Do let me know how you go on.

  • joniredchops Joniredchops (@joniredchops) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia Cancelled yesterday. Was happy at £25 a month. Looks like we're off to Vodafone or Plusnet for £22. Shame really, been a decent service.

  • trottermick Mavis Cartwright (@trottermick) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia No that’s the problem nobody can tell me!! It’s 103 days since my services were switched off( after my 30days notice) 16th February my services were switched off. I just keep being told that numerous requests have been made to send my refund cheque!

  • trottermick Mavis Cartwright (@trottermick) reported from Wigan, England

    @EmmettGraham @virginmedia Well, I’m getting nowhere fast, Twitter reply said they could help, but haven’t. Just gave me a no to text to, which won’t accept texts, and a no to ring that I already had. Rung again to no avail. Can’t answer anything about my overdue refund, disgraceful!!

  • rider45 Brian O'Keefe (@rider45) reported from Seaforth, England

    @virginmedia Never got a reply so my sister as account holder has sent a text but still awaiting a reply.

  • renzair Renzair (@renzair) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia If your internet service to St. Helens could be anything other than complete dogshit for more than five minutes that’d be swell. Since 7:30 this morning, constant outages of internet service. STILL happening at 16:00. Thanks (for nothing). Again.

  • trottermick Mavis Cartwright (@trottermick) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia My Account no was 017615801 Area Ref 01 Mavis Cartwright you will see that my account has a cred balance owed to me. Now 3 1/2 months 103 days no refund cheque received, I’m over 73 and need this money. Please Help

  • trottermick Mavis Cartwright (@trottermick) reported from Wigan, England

    @EmmettGraham @virginmedia I sympathise with you, can’t get a straight answer from Virgin Media, You’re just passed from “pillar to Post”getting nowhere! such a Dire Company, Customer Service Non Existant! Anybody thinking of joining them should be aware and stay well away!!

  • chlamityjane Dr Jane F. Wilkinson (@chlamityjane) reported from Wallasey, England

    Just tried to contact @virginmedia as we have no WiFi even tho the signal looks strong & like we’re connected - nil. Using data now. In a horrible circuit of click this then that.... come back to same ‘contact us’ page! 😩 An update please @virginmedia !

  • Footywirerob Rob Wood (@Footywirerob) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia Internet gone down in Warrington, any sign of a fix. Got a frantic 12 year old

  • gray_h81 Gray H (@gray_h81) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia have got to be the worst network providers ever. 10 times worse than @Sky10mbps which is saying something - 2 months in and haven’t got a clue what they are doing 🤬😡

  • ndmerc Nick Mercer (@ndmerc) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia customers suffering the usual standard of service from virgin Media again. Denial of service should see customers compensated, customer service appears to be the lowest priority.

  • KarenPh17289007 Karen Phillips (@KarenPh17289007) reported

    Yet again no broadband service from @virginmedia and this time it’s going be for 5 days until they can get a technician to us, 5 days?!!?? Singularly the WORST company I’ve ever dealt with. I know I don’t have a lot of followers, but please, if you do follow me, share.

  • RickSacrop Rick Sacrop. 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🥋🎸🎹 🏉🇺🇦 (@RickSacrop) reported

    @virginmedia An alternative way to spend 30 hours. After all if you don't think a system is a useless waste of time, your phone system could be just as bad. It's all about what you consider useless I guess. @ofcom @richardbranson

  • KarenPh17289007 Karen Phillips (@KarenPh17289007) reported

    @virginmedia once again you have proved yourselves to be the WORST company I have EVER dealt with. Without broadband for 5 days until you can get your technician to us on Saturday. Your ‘first’ available appointment? This has been caused by YOUR people working in our area.

  • Limelump1968 Limelump (@Limelump1968) reported

    @RickSacrop @virginmedia Only good thing about virgin are the speed, when it works OK, service is 💩 they pretend they will let you leave, then pester you with calls until you agree a new contact, been with then 23 years and the only time I feel stressed is the fault of virgin, new customers beware

  • chrisborrman Christian Borrman (@chrisborrman) reported

    @virginmedia I work in tech; tried different cables, devices and browsers before calling, as calling your CS is 1hour min and like pulling teeth; really it is the worst in the industry there are no lights on any ethernet ports and no connected device sees any port

  • CraigAl25804919 Craig A (@CraigAl25804919) reported

    @virginmedia It would assist me if you could start making your customer service, at least, 100 times better. Does that answer your question?

  • liam63786267 Liam (@liam63786267) reported

    @virginmedia can I dm query regarding signing up as new customer

  • froggytimemk2 froggythegamergirl (@froggytimemk2) reported

    @virginmedia @virginhelp It's fine during the day but as soon as it's 6pm it's like you start throttling the bandwidth, I work from 6pm till late so this means I literally cannot work. We're paying £74 a month for this **** and it's been going on for years!

  • AnneMar93080038 Anne Marie Moran (@AnneMar93080038) reported

    @virginmedia crap internet down again this week.

  • heidilevo heidi vogel (@heidilevo) reported

    @virginmedia July 2021 and again now as well as many times in between. I call regularly and don’t get any help. My case is complex and my complaints are now a year of unresolved issues
