    @virginmedia do you want the prize for the shittiest broadband ever or would you like to fix my internet service?

  • TimmyJ1972
    Tim Jackson (@TimmyJ1972) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Yes I’ve been told this before… yet it never happened when my bill was generated. Let’s see eh..

  • SmithysMaud
    Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia Telling me an engineer will come next week now, not good enough. Waited in all morning for one that never came and still no service.

  • EmsydilemsyL
    Emma Latham (@EmsydilemsyL) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia advice please! I’ve been a customer for over ten years and am also an o2 customer and my account is now going up by another £12 per month on a pretty basic package! Phoned twice and been told that someone will get back to me with a new price package - still nothing

  • SmithysMaud
    Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia All the while taking my direct debit payments for a service I am not getting

    John Kelly (@John_Kelly17) reported from St Helens, England

    @CruisingTheCut I’ve had very few issues with virgin media - depends if you need TV though. Otherwise I’ve heard very good things about over the air using the three network or EE.

    @les_murray71 @virginmedia This and their woeful customer service is why we binned them off mate

  • TimmyJ1972
    Tim Jackson (@TimmyJ1972) reported from Garston, England

    @virginmedia I’d love to hear from how I’m supposed to report an issue with my broadband. You can’t do it via live chat and seemingly not via the phone either as you’re “experiencing difficulties”

  • Gary_Kilroy
    Gary Kilroy (@Gary_Kilroy) reported from Liverpool, England

    Having the choice of the awful customer service of @virginmedia or the @bt_uk network which in my area might as well be two tin cans tied together with string is great!

  • DoctorRood
    DRood 🏳️‍🌈🎗 (@DoctorRood) reported from Chester, England

    @virginmedia I never expected any engineer, because I'm aware it's an outage that affects a lot of people. But your CS responses could be a lot better.

  • Billzy79
    Billzy (@Billzy79) reported from Liverpool, England

    @Jacedafaceis @virginmedia Yes. Been out to lake district, and 4G mobile phone signal was quick and more reliable than the broadband. And people thought it was normal.

  • SmithysMaud
    Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia 38 days after the repull should’ve been done? You think that’s good customer service?

  • MarkLangshaw
    Mark Langshaw (@MarkLangshaw) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Was Thursday or Friday but you never call me back when you say you will, so I'm not confident it will be completed unless I keep chasing it up.

  • SmithysMaud
    Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    Day 42 of no service from @virginmedia. Engineer meant to be coming again today, think I’ve more chance of a unicorn showing up to be fair. 🦄

  • SmithysMaud
    Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia They’ve been today apparently to do the repull and nothing has changed. Still no service. I won’t be paying this month as I’m not paying for nothing.

  • TheWiganParky
    Laser Lux, Wigan. (@TheWiganParky) reported from Haydock, England

    @virginmedia It says there's no issues at the moment, but I'm only getting 13mbps.

  • RayWaring

    @virginmedia Please contact me via this route - will be the quickest way to respond and resolve the issue

    @virginmedia your installation of my new broadband is turning into a mockery of a sham! No communication, no professionalism, a complete lack of customer care! A VERY UNSATISFACTORY WAY TO CONDUCT BUSINESS! Your chatbot is also incompetent! @Ofcom #poorcustomerservice

  • DillB1976
    Dylan Brown (@DillB1976) reported

    @virginmedia my account has been locked for 2 weeks now, I keep getting told it will be resolved but nothing is happening, apart from me spending lots of time on the phone to people who can not or do want to help.

  • scoobiesue82
    Suz (@scoobiesue82) reported

    @virginmedia It is default to audio descriptive so I change it to Original Dolby Audio both via the context (…) and pressing down and along to audio & subtitles but it’s not changing anything even though it appears to select what I want

  • vickiferris
    Vicky Leigh (@vickiferris) reported

    Go back to customer services and also for a call - i spent an hour on tuesday on the phone so would appreciate them calling me as they are the inconsistent party who change their story every time I speak to them. (7) @virginmedia

    @virginmedia Hi, yes the loss of service is still ongoing and this is the 3rd time this month would this not go under continuous loss of service?

    @HJB_News__ Is he a Brit' or a ****' can't be both... Either way he's shite at boxing ... should stick to virgin media support help desk.

    @virginmedia My tv picture is distorted and pixelled. Been gradually getting worse since yesterday. Many of us in the M43 Manchester area having the same problem.

    @virginmedia Still got the crackling on my home phone line, despite doing all the ‘self help’ measures so what’s your advice?
