    @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.

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

  • Robertlfc_
    Rob (@Robertlfc_) reported from Liverpool, England

    Sort your awful Wi-Fi out @virginmedia

  • Robertlfc_
    Rob (@Robertlfc_) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia is honestly the worst company for WiFi

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

    @virginmedia 3 x engineer visits, each time telling me there’s a blockage. Why does nobody fix it? I can’t even get through to cancel my services and get a refund for the direct debits I’ve paid when I’ve had zero service.

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia Nobody can help me, they just keep asking for patience. They’ve had since august to fix it. It’s unacceptable.

  • 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.

    @virginmedia why is the service down in Chester area? #virginmediadown

  • 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?

  • Robertlfc_
    Rob (@Robertlfc_) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia just been took out of a game of fifa, that I was winning! Because of your awful internet. Get it fixed!!

  • 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

  • J0er_82

    @virginmedia whys your Internet ****?? Never works when I want it to

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

    @virginmedia Yes, this has been going on now for months. Was just on to your team to cancel, they hung up on me. I’ve never known a more woeful service. They are quick enough to take payment every month for a service I’m not getting.

  • 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. 🦄

  • NatashaVic
    Capitã Nat (@NatashaVic) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Can I speak to a human, please? It’s impossible to speak to anyone here. I paid for my bill via bank transfer more than a week ago and it hasn’t been registered. Phone service is not recognising my password and I can’t find a live chat.

    @virginmedia I will raise it through the app again as the issue relates to continued service drop out, a one time test is not going to provide answers to the issue.

  • kealydaniel79
    Daniel (@kealydaniel79) reported

    @virginmedia Ive reported online but when u go online to check they say there are ‘no issues’ but i have been having issue since last friday!

  • HeatherNute1
    Heather Nute (@HeatherNute1) reported

    @virginmedia No wired is fine but my partner needs to use that as he works in telecoms - I have to rely on the wireless to work on in another room. The box isn’t vandalised, it’s been broken for months -someone taped it shut to stop it banging shut in the wind

  • BaconCheeseZ
    bacon (@BaconCheeseZ) reported

    @laurapower1812 @virginmedia You won't get real help. They'll pretend there are no issues and then carry on with their meaningless lives. They don't care. Best thing would be to cancel your contract and go with literally any other provider.

  • PialiDG
    Piali Das Gupta (@PialiDG) reported

    @Emm_McG @virginmedia I'm with Hyperoptic in Rotherhithe. Has been pretty reliable the 3 years I've been with them - a few outages during that time but they haven't lasted long. I can't speak to their customer service, though.

  • MrsRebeccaJone3
    Mrs Rebecca Jones (@MrsRebeccaJone3) reported

    @virginmedia Just a shame it takes a newspaper getting involved for issues to be resolved that were no fault of our own

  • Phtevenrobert
    Phtevenrobert (@Phtevenrobert) reported

    If, like me, you have a history of #mentalillness, PLEASE avoid @virginmedia at all costs. Thanks to the appalling #CustomerService and internet provided by this company I got lower than I have since 2017. My livelihood depends on stable internet and they refused to help. AVOID!

    Anyone else having major issues with Virgin Media broadband lately? Been having major drops in speeds/signal for around a week now. Starting to really frustrate, especially as its coincided with the price increase letter 🙄 #virginmediadown #virginmedia
