  • mechasquid Andy Welland (@mechasquid) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia hi there! Do you have a customer support email address at all? Broadband customer here. I can’t get through on phone or live chat and need to discuss service issues and wish to downgrade service. Hope you can help!

  • dale_beverley84 dale beverley (@dale_beverley84) reported from Wombwell, England

    @virginmedia why did you promise us broadband by today yet still an engineer has not been out to do the work then to install. This is shocking service.

  • dawnproc 👻🤩DP 🤩👻 (@dawnproc) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Hi, no issues with Hub or my account so I’m guessing it was a scam call 😳

  • Michaelh747 Michael Harrison (@Michaelh747) reported from Staveley, England

    @virginmedia Well it keeps cutting out and I still haven't had a response about my broken network port on the router. I'm just stuck

  • jojo_oh_jojo Jo of JAM Artworks (@jojo_oh_jojo) reported from Sheffield, England

    @KatePinkSmith @virginmedia I finally made the break from Virgin last week, moved to BT. Shocking service all round xx

  • Michaelh747 Michael Harrison (@Michaelh747) reported from Staveley, England

    @virginmedia Well one of my network ports still isn't working. Had the router for years. Anyway I can get a replacement?

  • slivaugh51 Sylvia (@slivaugh51) reported from Brampton Bierlow, England

    @virginmedia Had problems with our WiFi, engineer turned up at the door we asked shouldn’t he be wearing a mask 😷 he answered “nah we’ve run out” seriously Virgin you’re sending out engineers to peoples homes without masks!!!!

  • stuartbquick Stuart Bolton (@stuartbquick) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia I’m not impressed. Switched for phone and broadband on 31st Aug. Telephone switch got rescheduled on the day of installation! Had to get existing provider to extend contract for 2wks. Broadband is constantly buffering and now gone down. @NOWTV @VodafoneUK better.

  • Tomasu87 Thomas Robinson (@Tomasu87) reported from Staveley, England

    @virginmedia I can’t login in to my email it’s says that part of the site is down do u knowwhen it mite working again

  • ScarredParrot Scarlett Parrish 🏴‍☠️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺 (@ScarredParrot) reported

    @kestrelrising I saved money by threatening to leave Virgin Media and they dropped the price of my internet by nearly half. Scottish government grant helps with council tax. Trouble is...all those savings are immediately eaten up by the ******* rise in fuel prices. 🤬

  • T0nyPrice Tony Price (@T0nyPrice) reported

    @virginmedia Weren’t chat bots and online service meant to replace holding on phone lines for hours on end. Seems to have gone full circle. I am interested in the unprecedented demand - I worked in demand management for a long time and I think you need to review your metrics and performance

  • Lennon068 lennon33 (@Lennon068) reported

    @virginmedia internet down, rang service number. HUB fine, now been told to wait 24hrs. Why is it going to take 24hrs, also why does your broadband status say there are no know issues when clearly there is.

  • Jenilee160 Jenilee Graham (@Jenilee160) reported

    @virginmedia another day without internet! You do realise that people work from home so having no internet connection it’s a big big problem! You constantly have issues in NW6!!! And this is seriously affecting my job

  • official_RHG use code REBEL-HEART-GAME #epicpartner ツ (@official_RHG) reported

    @virginmedia I have they said they have noted it down

  • miles_fran Fran (@miles_fran) reported

    @virginmedia why is everything so difficult to sort out 5 times and the issue still ain’t sorted!!!!

  • chrishares Chris Hares (@chrishares) reported

    @virginmedia No Internet connectivity on most days of the month. Router needs to be rebooted to get any service. You always claim it’s a ‘local issue’.

  • tailsinge Sen 🌻 (@tailsinge) reported

    Virgin Media doing work that takes the internet down, during work hours from 9-3, without notification. Its not like a ton of people work from home at this point!! Worst UK ISP honestly.

  • AlwaysWinter9 Janie Halsall (@AlwaysWinter9) reported

    @virginmedia got a weird email yesterday 'thank you for making those changes, take a sec to review your new package'. BUT I've made no changes, have not been in touch at all. Help.

  • Hammer1966 Paul (@Hammer1966) reported

    @virginmedia nobody listens your service is shocking
