  • DronePilotGeoff Geoff Watkins (@DronePilotGeoff) reported from Gillingham, England

    @fasurveyors @virginmedia I have to say; I’m normally pretty pleased with @virginmedia internet. It’s normally fast and reliable. But last couple of days has been awful. It’s getting too expensive as well

  • RobJackson1168 Rob.jackson1168 (@RobJackson1168) reported

    @virginmedia As usual I’ve done this and I’m being passed about like a new puppy, wasting my life doing this on Boxing Day Like I said Virgin Media is appalling and if @richardbranson had to do this pathetic process he’d lose his hair. Foreign call centres lack of human touch. = Crap Service

  • sugarsaria saria (@sugarsaria) reported

    @virginmedia Where can I make a complaint? This is not the first time I have had poor service with virgin, our connection is always unstable but this has been ridiculous. Especially now that I have had to pay more for the service, it is getting less and less reliable. (2/2)

  • pauIgeorge_ jad was @91rec @markeIlfultz (@pauIgeorge_) reported

    @virginmedia it’s still down after it said it would be fixed by 4pm i’m very outraged and unhappy

  • kennyjblythe kenny blythe (@kennyjblythe) reported

    @virginmedia I have text them I've had similar problems about a year ago and it turned out to be a faulty modem. The frustrating part is how difficult you guys make it to talk to a person about it

  • LinzieM79 Lin (@LinzieM79) reported

    Anyone know how to boost signal? Have virgin 200mb BB with *** 3, I live in a very modest 3 bed house but 2 rooms upstairs and 1 room down struggle to get connection @virginmedia #techhelp

  • GregBarnes2 (((Greg Barnes))) (@GregBarnes2) reported

    @virginmedia Which team? Yours? Offshore? Cancellation? Media? Mobile? Nobody has fixed the issue I’ve paid for a phone and nobody will let me use it.

  • MattBloomFilms Matt Bloom (@MattBloomFilms) reported

    @virginmedia hello. Do you have known outages or network problems because of Xmas overuse? I'm in the M11JQ area. Loss of wired and WiFi broadband, on Xmas eve and today. Green lights flashing on the box.

  • boltonmassive Boltonmassive (@boltonmassive) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam How I regret leaving Virginmedia after 10 years. Now left with no landline no broadband until a bt engineer comes out on 14th jan!!! Absolutely a **** show and not a great welcome to a new customer but at least you won't be charging me 4 the services I've not got 🙄

  • BeingAlchemist Martha Egger (@BeingAlchemist) reported

    @virginmedia This is a standard response. We've checked and there is no outage and never is.its just your connection. Please send an engineer to check it out and confirm this with me. Thanks

  • gloucesternick Nastynicglos (@gloucesternick) reported
