    @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

    Robert Bailey (@Bunglebob66) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia get enough money from me and all the others get enough, from the rest of the paying public. So stop being greedy, stop paying the Premier clubs so much and wages will have to come down. There, sorted!

    @MartinSLewis Virgin Media wifi been unstable since June 2020. Virgin Media never resolved the problem caused me to lose hundreds of £'s. Made me lose my PIP. Virgin made me pay double because they kept charging me twice most months. They've made me lose half my PC Guarantee

    @virginmedia I need to speak to a manager who can help. They don't seem to want to. I have a contract phone, it won't charge, it's under guarantee, I'm paying you and you won't help.

    Mark Gould (@yiddo71) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia Your missing the point my phone works now my complaint was about the fact it took 9 days to activate and Virgin changed the number

  • lillyelizax
    SatansLittleGirl🔮 (@lillyelizax) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia There isn’t internet down time the box has stopped working, they can’t get a new box out here till mid week, with a lot of people working from home you think you’d have next day delivery or something, bad enough we can’t have a engineer out to help

  • polhilljim
    Rochester Boy. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 (@polhilljim) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia This is a long story. But Virgin have changed my IMEI number making a second repair not possible. My account is down and even Virgin can't access it. I've been promised calls back several times but they've not happened. The litany of Virgin failures is impossible to put in a text

  • Scott_Wic
    Scott Wickham (@Scott_Wic) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia My request to support was about the hub5 and some Wi-Fi extenders/boosters which I’m entitled to, they said that it was sorted and would be in the post and now only the hub5 has turned up!!! Does this mean I have to contact support again…….

    @virginmedia They replaced the box and it’s all working now,I do have one other query I have the Virgin go app but I don’t have any content available on it,is this something you can fix for me? There appears to be an issue with my account I have the ultimate ooomph package if that matters.

    @virginmedia Search shows no outage in my area How do you explain the lack of cell signal on multiple devices using your network

  • fredbeare
    Davie G 🇬🇧 (@fredbeare) reported

    Do @EE have any actual humans, other than those on commission in sales, working for them? Almost as bad as Virgin Media, certainly worse than @BT who seemed to have taken the worst from both companies and merged. Are there no good comms companies out there?

  • nicky_oshea44
    Nicky O'Shea (@nicky_oshea44) reported

    @virginmedia are not only happy to breach my data protection they will now not correspond with me the way I ask and continue to think a resolution will Come through Twitter message.

  • CorkinDawn
    dawnieC (@CorkinDawn) reported

    @virginmedia Plus convenient for you to get out of the compensation clause, restoring it for a few hours. The latest update showing is fix by 5 August at 16:08, so another whole day without internet. Is this a new fault or the last one not fixed properly?

  • JayBee58963922
    JayBee (@JayBee58963922) reported

    Just had a call from supposedly Virgin Media, saying that there was a technical problem on the line, making my voice go all slowly on calls. Wow ! Really . Of course I fell for that. NOT ! What next, make me talk backwards ? Keep aware folks.

    rhi (@travichughes) reported

    @j_ball13 @virginmedia when my mum died she was the primary account holder of our t3sc0 mobile family plan. instead of letting us switch our dad to the named person on the account, they cut our contracts off and left us with no working signal at all. absolute rubbish, i think they even put a block on

  • boomerangjf
    Jackie (@boomerangjf) reported

    @virginmedia your service is diabolical ! We are still experiencing intermittent/reduction in service after being told it would be working properly from 29 July. I assume you will be expecting a reduction in payment from me?

  • Ryanishistory
    Lord Ryan Mehrabany-Burnett (@Ryanishistory) reported

    @virginmedia we are due to have an engineer come out on Monday to look at the new box and remote which you said we had to have and doesn’t work. We have received a text message that if someone over 18 isn’t in, you will fine us £25. Great customer service.
