  • TheRealSiOram77 Simon Oram 💙 (@TheRealSiOram77) reported from Fazeley, England

    @virginmedia No broadband or TV at the moment. Been poor for a few days. Website just says you're aware of the issue. Can't get through by phone and tried to sign up for updates but keeps failing. WiFi needed for work. Any suggestions?

  • mufcsmk Stuart miller-kirkpatrick (@mufcsmk) reported from Measham, England

    @virginmedia please stop ringing me, il never come back #BYEBYEBYE

  • Ebike_holidays National Forest E-Bike Holidays (@Ebike_holidays) reported from Ashby-de-la-Zouch, England

    @virginmedia We followed instructions to switch phones to fibre optic. Can dial out but can’t get calls. It’s really upset my mother in law as she is vulnerable and we are her emergency support. Our mobile signal is very poor at home, so she is frightened she can’t contact us.

  • paul_ley Paul Ley (@paul_ley) reported from Tamworth District, England

    Virgin media sim card is free and it's not worth it. It's really bad. Hardly ever get a signal when out when u do it's about 5mb

  • Andyfoodie Andrew Markou (@Andyfoodie) reported from Tamworth District, England

    Hi @virginmedia I live in the B77 4LD area and we use you as our Broadband providers. Has the network gone down and if so approximately when will it get fixed and be back up and running?

  • alextiplerfilm Alex Tipler (@alextiplerfilm) reported from Coalville, England

    @virginmedia Hi I cannot log in to my Virgin Media go account nor change my password. Please help me as I need this urgently!

  • iRacing74 DJ Knight 🇬🇧 (@iRacing74) reported from Sandiacre, England

    With public service cuts, why do we year upon year pay more Council Tax for less service? Virgin Media put their prices, but do not reduce my service - If they did I'd cancel the service. We are legally obliged to pay more for less - go figure 🤷

  • dergal Gerry White SEO geek (@dergal) reported from Ashby-de-la-Zouch, England

    @virginmedia I tried - I assume it doesn't work on a mobile!?

  • LizzieMizzie_ Lizzie Jane 🎭 (@LizzieMizzie_) reported from Market Bosworth, England

    @virginmedia I am currently on 3G and it’s SLOW! So a refund would be the right thing to do. Especially if the money has already come out of my account. I have screenshots to prove it’s not working.

  • Ebike_holidays National Forest E-Bike Holidays (@Ebike_holidays) reported from Ashby-de-la-Zouch, England

    @virginmedia It’s even more stressful as we can’t tell her when you will resolve the problem. Extremely poor service.

  • JackalynHardy Jackalyn Hardy 💙 (@JackalynHardy) reported from Tamworth District, England

    @virginmedia waited for 25mins to get through to discuss changing my contract gave all my details put on hold and then cut off, despite having my number and mobile they haven't even tried to call me back great customer service

  • Ebike_holidays National Forest E-Bike Holidays (@Ebike_holidays) reported from Ashby-de-la-Zouch, England

    @virginmedia Everyone is very apologetic but that doesn’t help give a vulnerable old lady the peace of mind that her son is available at the other end of the phone, should something happen.

  • horseracingmama whatsitallabout!! (@horseracingmama) reported from Burton upon Trent, England

    @virginmedia can’t wait till they read the feedback on the email survey they asked me to do they scored a massive 0 from me and no I would not recommend them and will never go back to them either!!

  • katej1984 Kate J (@katej1984) reported from Sandiacre, England

    @virginmedia any chance you could hire call centre staff that don’t hang up the phone after 3 seconds in an attempt to bring their AHT down?

  • alextiplerfilm Alex Tipler (@alextiplerfilm) reported from Coalville, England

    @virginmedia You don't have internet access yet you are on twitter? Can you not get someone to ring me. I am stuck on hold, 16 minutes now, waiting to resolve your issue!

  • ASJPhotography Alexandra Johnson (@ASJPhotography) reported from Coalville, England

    @virginmedia have to be the MOST unhelpful when it comes to customer service. I’ve been going round and round and round for an issue your technical engineer has already highlighted!!!!

  • AshkboosNazanin Nazanin Ashkboos (@AshkboosNazanin) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks! Will I definitely get through? I’ve been calling your costumer services for a year now. They have told me they will call me back (still waiting for this call) and nothing has been done. I don’t want to be let down again

  • TeresaBCooper Teresa Bulford-Cooper MSc (@TeresaBCooper) reported

    @virginmedia I have managed to get through today and (reluctantly)paid everything off and shutdown the account. I was promised a call on Wednesday but never happened hence me phoning again today! I will NEVER use Virgin again for anything. So unprofessional and full of empty promises.

  • Claireolskool Claire Lawson (@Claireolskool) reported

    @virginmedia Been there done that already. You are in breach of the terms of contract due to not upholding agreed service delivery. Please advice how I end my contract

  • JohnBSylvester Viscount Kingston (@JohnBSylvester) reported

    @virginmedia No...this needs correcting NOW; this isn’t the first time we’ve had problems with Virgin and your customer service sucks!

  • juliereid81 julie reid (@juliereid81) reported

    @virginmedia I have submitted 3 complaints about a fault,twice I've asked for it to be escalated, you haven't responded at all. Next step ombudsman unless you can help? very poor service.

  • RamzR_ Ramz (@RamzR_) reported

    Wow when I say I’m getting ripped off by Virgin Media😭 I pay for 1000 down & I get 200.. the uploads fine but I may aswell pay for a cheaper package

  • AshkboosNazanin Nazanin Ashkboos (@AshkboosNazanin) reported

    @virginmedia I even purchased a booster and it didn’t help. Its more of an issue that it has to be constant reset. The connection is not strong enough even when we are in the same room as the hub

  • ScrewFlawless ScrewFlawless (@ScrewFlawless) reported

    @virginmedia broadband down in Dublin 9 for hours now, impossible to get through to you over the phone, what’s happening?

  • JasmineEllis_ Jasmine Ellis (@JasmineEllis_) reported

    @virginmedia Nope, says no known issues 'WN6 8HW'

  • paspinall42 Paspinall 🏳️‍🌈 (@paspinall42) reported

    Do love it when @virginmedia has been at snails pace all day, the issue they *claim* should be fixed in just over 10 minutes... but the same status also claims the engineer hasnt even started working on the problem but is on the way and has been for 9 hours !
