  • RB10__ rafik (@RB10__) reported from Bolton, England

    Absolute stinker of a service @virginmedia provides

  • ewart71 Jim Ewart (@ewart71) reported from Leyland, England

    @virginmedia It’s not fixed yet @virginmedia still intermittently losing internet won the wired connection also on demand still not working without dropping out and encountering errors - get it fixed as we are sick of paying you top end broadband for nothing

  • deankamitsis Dean Kamitsis (@deankamitsis) reported from Preston, England

    Hey @virginmedia I’m going round the bend trying to cancel services with you for over a week now. I’m deaf so can’t call, I’m not receiving responses via SMS or Live Chat. No emails, nothing.

  • alwalsh72 Andrea Walsh (@alwalsh72) reported from Chorley, England

    @virginmedia we cannot report because everything is down. It's up and down the whole of the country

  • HelenLloyd66 Tweety Pie 🐥 (@HelenLloyd66) reported from Chorley, England

    @virginmedia My internet and TV has been very spasmodic for a few weeks now which is annoying however it has and been down now for 24 hours. I am highly vulnerable and cannot leave the house no TV no internet this is not a service

  • aboardy Alison Boardman (@aboardy) reported from Walton le Dale, England

    @virginmedia reported slow speeds on Sunday. Promised a call back between 2 and 4 hours. Not received. Not getting the minimum guaranteed broadband speed yet paying in full. Proving difficult to speak to anybody. You appear not to care. #poorcustomerservice

  • dave6018 David (@dave6018) reported from Penwortham, England

    @virginmedia I will know more later when champions league football is on, but after a while on 4k the box will crash and reboot its self , but just replaced the hdmi cables so I will see how it goes, but normally I cant fault your service

  • aboardy Alison Boardman (@aboardy) reported from Walton le Dale, England

    @virginmedia spoken to your “customer service”. Advised that promises for call back on live chat cannot be traced and nothing they could do. The call centre apparently has no record of live chat conversations. Advisor seemed to blame me! For a media company very poorly connected

  • Dannymaddog Danny McKeown-Henshall (@Dannymaddog) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England

    @PeterBayliss @Ofcom Must be a local issue for you - I’ve been relying on @ThreeUK for broadband as my @virginmedia 100mbps fibre line has been epically slow even phone calls made on Wifi calling are bad, switch to mobile and it’s perfect 👌

  • DGParkinson @dgparkinson (@DGParkinson) reported from Standish, England

    @virginmedia I have a vulnerable customer aged 89 who needs urgent help with fault on phone line - can’t get through on phone please respond

  • dave6018 David (@dave6018) reported from Leyland, England

    @factuk @SkyUK @virginmedia @Facebook Thanks just annoys me, I pay for full tv service and idiots reselling mean I have to pay more for my legal services

  • mooseandme1 Moose And Me (@mooseandme1) reported from Great Harwood, England

    @virginmedia you’ve sent me an outrageous bill with £35 in charges that you said you were waiving. Non of your call centres are open (undertandably) I cant get text support & there’s no other help available. You are going to bill me £120 for a £50 service and I can stop you.

  • trev0rj0nes trevor jones (@trev0rj0nes) reported from Southport, England

    @virginmedia still no contact. Help me out here will you

  • stu_nico Stu Nicholls (@stu_nico) reported from Walton le Dale, England

    So the lack of response and the fact there is no online option to manage my BT Sport subscription means I have no option to choke up the call lines.. So much for easing the burden and stress on the customer service teams you employ @virginmedia @Virgin

  • Andfie Andrew Fielding (@Andfie) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia service down again, and your status check also down. Pitiful.

  • aboardy Alison Boardman (@aboardy) reported from Walton le Dale, England

    @virginmedia also run tests. All came back fine. Significantly below minimum guaranteed speed. Average 20mbps. Disappointed that I was promised a call and never got it. Been on hold too long. Appalling service.

  • DavidLaney ⚽️Lethal Brizzle⚽️ (@DavidLaney) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Please message me re: new generation V6 box faults. No Netflix, recordings will not play, very slow. Please DON’T tell me to switch off/on or re-boot. Thanks.

  • djbowers14 D J Bowers (@djbowers14) reported from Great Harwood, England

    Moved from @skytv to @virginmedia after 8 years and being a VIP customer with Sky. Poor service and a huge increase in price. Lost a longstanding customer. Now to try Virgin Media and see how this goes.

  • dave6018 David (@dave6018) reported from Penwortham, England

    Wow @virginmedia love how your retention team just put the disconnection through and never offered me any thing to even try and convince me to stay

    @Mazstrict @virginmedia Three hours I was holding Friday, four departments, passed from pillar to post only to be cut off at 2 hours 57 minutes. Their service is atrocious.... Switched to Sky

  • boxer_junior Rocky Boxer Junior - MMA (@boxer_junior) reported

    @virginmedia ZR as I said poor customer service. You win. I did not want the virgin tv fixed as it’s rubbish and I can live without it. You’ve bored me to death. The internet coming into my home is poor. I’ll carry on paying for the internet that doesn’t work. Don’t bother answering.

  • Ban_Ana_Smith Ana Hernandez (@Ban_Ana_Smith) reported

    @virginmedia I have currently been an hour and 15 minutes on the phone trying to get hold of movals and disconnection team and they keep sending me to customer services. I can't spend my whole evening on the phone!! 😭

  • uncle_honka Honk (@uncle_honka) reported

    @virginmedia can you tell your resolution team that complaint reference C-2112201227 isn't resolved, cos apparently me emailing them 3 seperate times to tell them it wasn't and asking for a deadlock letter to send to the independent adjudicator gave the impression it was.

  • c_r_shaw Christopher Shaw (@c_r_shaw) reported

    @virginmedia Ah. Heading for day 5 then. The latest update we have is: We have identified the problem and an engineer is on their way. The estimated repair time is now: 14/02/2021 18:15:00. The Virgin Media Team.- ID: F008795191. Best wishes, the Virgin Media Team.

  • Justonebob Bob Condick (@Justonebob) reported

    @virginmedia so I've tried to cancel for 2 weeks now and you won't answer the phone, not in contract so just going to cancel direct debt, that cool?

  • twinbabbas TwinsD (@twinbabbas) reported

    @virginmedia what a disgraceful service my phone service and broadband was cut off in less than a day leaving us with no services at all because we asked to go over to BT.

  • AndrewKrisman Andrew Krisman (@AndrewKrisman) reported

    @virginmedia hi Virgin Media, I’ve spent over an hour trying to cancel my broadband account via phone and internet and finding your customer service impenetrable. I know I’m not a celeb, but can someone help me close my account!!

  • H7Factualist Harjinder Kalsi (@H7Factualist) reported

    @virginmedia I have intermittent service on my broadband in W13 postcode.
