  • walshy31 Paul Walsh (@walshy31) reported from Seaforth, England

    @virginmedia as an existing customer disgusted by experience my wife had ordering a new phone! Told delivered Thursday, worked from home, then advised by @YodelOnline it would be next Tuesday! Virgin day not down to them then receives a bill for end of the month #CustomerService

  • mdrvideo Mike Roberts (@mdrvideo) reported from Newton-le-Willows, England

    Cant access my business website @virginmedia keep hanging up worst customer service ever #virginbroadband #useless

  • northernmicks Kenneth Owen (@northernmicks) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia that's the problem businesses assume customers are happy to spend their lives phoning them and be happy wasting hours and hours

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia So service resumed around 3pm with an email confirming it. In the last 5/10 mins the wireless connection keeps disappearing off. It’ll return for a second or two, then drop again. Unsurprisingly your status checker says there isn’t an issue despite there clearly being one.

  • Lara__1302 LaraB (@Lara__1302) reported from Abram, England

    @virginmedia It’s for mine and my daughters mobile. Been going on now for 2 days. Can’t make or receive calls. Been into Virgin store today and they gave me a new sim. But couldn’t help with checking to see if there were issues in my area.

  • northernmicks Kenneth Owen (@northernmicks) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia i telephoned because i wanted to reduce my services, the first call offered reduction to 47.95, never happened, second call refused to call me, third call apologies for lack of action confirmed reduction and a credit again nothing happened

  • Gfunk_in3D Gfunk_in3D (@Gfunk_in3D) reported from Runcorn, England

    @virginmedia I really don’t know how you can morally charge for the pitiful service you provide. You have the most consistently unreliable download speeds I have ever come across.

  • Tinkerbellkimmy KimSmith⛳🧘‍♀️ (@Tinkerbellkimmy) reported from Risley, England

    @virginmedia came home to a letter today stating your increasing my bill 3.00 per month from September! What's happened to loyal customer discounts utter joke! #Nothappycustomer

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    Pretty ironic when the @virginmedia Service Status page doesn’t work.

  • thestuchy13 Damon (@thestuchy13) reported from Billinge Chapel End, England

    @virginmedia getting beyond a joke this no internet again in WN5 area after only getting it back working after 3 days last week you had better refund some of my money back and also data charge for my family's mobile network not good enough

  • northernmicks Kenneth Owen (@northernmicks) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia ***************, said change bill never did, ring can't deal with it but can't ring you, you a sodding phone company, get a grip

  • Lara__1302 LaraB (@Lara__1302) reported from Abram, England

    @virginmedia I haven’t but now that I have a link I will try that. Fingers crossed they will be able to resolve the issue

  • northernmicks Kenneth Owen (@northernmicks) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia so much easier to cancel direct debit without having to bother with a call

  • thestuchy13 Damon (@thestuchy13) reported from Billinge Chapel End, England

    @virginmedia It's a fault you was suppose to fix yesterday at 4.15 in the area but still hasn't been fixed

  • BrightLitegames BrightLightGames (@BrightLitegames) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Internet is down AGAIN, Queue the automated twitter response. Time to find a new provider I think!

  • Gfunk_in3D Gfunk_in3D (@Gfunk_in3D) reported from Runcorn, England

    @virginmedia feels like this is getting tweeted a lot but your internet is the absolute worst!

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia So it looks like the router resetting was the start of a bigger issue. Router appears to be having issues again. Your diag service thinks the router is switched off but it certainly isn’t.

  • Tinkerbellkimmy KimSmith⛳🧘‍♀️ (@Tinkerbellkimmy) reported from Risley, England

    @virginmedia Hello I spoke to retentions yesterday and my contract is going down to 78.00 something but havent had an email from you with the new details im not having any luck with online chat noone responded

  • Tinkerbellkimmy KimSmith⛳🧘‍♀️ (@Tinkerbellkimmy) reported from Risley, England

    came home to a letter today stating your increasing my bill 3.00 per month from September! What's happened to loyal customer discounts utter joke! #Nothappycustomer @virginmedia

  • robotormonkey Al (@robotormonkey) reported

    @virginmedia Happened again now! Been working fine all day but now something is happening…what are you doing to my service

  • alan_manu7 Alan Gordon (@alan_manu7) reported

    @virginmedia get a grip of your WiFi! Why is mine not working now? At least 3 or 4 times a week it cuts off?!?

  • sarahjane995 Ms Russ (@sarahjane995) reported

    @virginmedia terrible company! Cancelled our contract to then be placed into another I didn't agree too! Our cut of date should have been the 7th Feb. Now it's the 14th Feb or wait till our phone cuts out & re-ring to canx everything else to make it 60days! Seriously, shocking!

  • MarkTur28966436 Mark Turner (@MarkTur28966436) reported

    @virginmedia what's going on in Harlow area - CM18 - just lost all services - phone, TV and internet, and can't get any phone support

  • fattaurrahman Fattaur Rahman (@fattaurrahman) reported

    @virginmedia @YodelOnline still waiting for a response, your call centres have been no help at all. If this is the service from the start, I may have to think carefully about the cooling of rights!!!

  • robotormonkey Al (@robotormonkey) reported

    @PaulSmithering1 @virginmedia It’s a shame because I love it other than this issue never had any trouble

  • Richard24527500 gooner 18 (@Richard24527500) reported

    @virginmedia I have serious concerns over your use of ‘cooling off period’. I was lied to by a salesperson on the phone regarding an upgrade, lied to about my right to cancel the upgrade, and lied to regarding being called back yesterday by a ‘manager’. Huge scam - please help

  • dannyhesford Danny Hesford (@dannyhesford) reported

    @robert_chafer @virginmedia My experience over the last month or so has been awful. Without doubt the worst company I’ve ever had to deal with. I’ll reluctantly them a few more days to make it good but after then i’ll be cancelling and going back to a different provider.

  • JaKeDaSnAkE64 jake dursley (@JaKeDaSnAkE64) reported

    @virginmedia hi there, just a quick one, my broadband has been terrible these past few days only getting about 5mb download when I should be getting near 250mb, also my bill went from £29 to £62 without being informed? Many thanks!

  • BR270 BR (@BR270) reported

    @KayleighKnott7 @virginmedia I powered off and rebooted which fixed the issue.
