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

    @virginmedia What does Virgin do for disabled people, when their internet goes down?

  • 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 All the while taking my direct debit payments for a service I am 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. 🦄

  • bikbee ikkivllattun (@bikbee) reported from Chester, England

    No Wi-Fi internet in my area @virginmedia man down apparently 🙄@O2 signal **** … not sure what they’re excuse is 🤔😳….So I’m roaming round with my phone in the air hoping to get lucky 🍀 😳😩

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Simonrob1984 Simon Roberts (@Simonrob1984) reported from Saughall, England

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

  • 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.

  • StuartWilksHeeg Stuart Wilks-Heeg (@StuartWilksHeeg) reported from Seaforth, England

    @tonymc39 @virginmedia Really, truly shockingly terrible.

  • J0er_82 Jo3r (@J0er_82) reported from Garston, England

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

  • 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 is honestly the worst company for WiFi

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

  • 92Tevs Thomas Evans (@92Tevs) reported from Liverpool, England

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

  • Carpo_vp Carpo (@Carpo_vp) reported from Chester, England

    Ah another day of piss poor service from @virginmedia 0 Internet connection since 6am.... Thanks Branson 😒

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

    Sort your awful Wi-Fi out @virginmedia

  • tranmere1234 Sean bucky (@tranmere1234) reported

    @virginmedia are you joking only been 8 days since I first complained and still waiting for a resolution

  • maria_m_roberts Maria Roberts (@maria_m_roberts) reported

    @virginmedia It was dreadful on Thursday. It’s been happening for several weeks but it was literally every few minutes on Thursday. I didn’t take a call on Friday so hopefully it has stopped. The staff weren’t helpful. They just hang up and don’t help to resolve the problem!

  • thatxkaur ThatxKaur (@thatxkaur) reported

    @4wheelstable @TalkTalk @virginmedia This at this rate with being with proper internet for 6 months can’t even work as it plays ups every 2 minutes and talk talk refuse to help till covid is over! Like seriously that’s a joke? Imma have to change over to virgin at this rate.

  • GarmentPaul PaulG (@GarmentPaul) reported

    @virginmedia No issues on TV service. Problem entirely on broadband. Frequent packet loss and fragmented delivery. Makes watching streamed content impossible - especially in the evening when service is worse. Broadband currently running around 30Mbps - should be 150 plus.

  • BigRichFish Rich Fisher (@BigRichFish) reported

    @virginmedia Hi ZR. Yes please, the credit still isn't showing on my account. It's 4 weeks now since I spoke to customer services who said they'd organise this and that it'd take a couple of days.

  • RailEngr Matt Burr (@RailEngr) reported

    @virginmedia Hi VM, we were let down due to a lack of training by your CSA. Made a mess of the contract, failed to actually book Engr, told some porkies, as you don’t do home or business visits, hardware was posted it wasn’t. helpful adviser on cancellations resolved. So frustrating

  • uptwntoprankin Steven Rankin (@uptwntoprankin) reported

    @undies_26 @virginmedia @SkyUK I’m not with Virgin mate. I left them years ago because they are shocking. My grandad has passed away and I need to cancel his package and can’t even get in touch with these idiots 🤬

  • DarrenGarrott1 Darren Garrott (@DarrenGarrott1) reported

    @virginmedia been trying to contact for several days to cancel my contract and I’m tired of being on hold.. can someone contact me before you go ahead with the planned appointments!!

  • lostthemapblog Ro (@lostthemapblog) reported
