    Could @virginmedia be any more crap if they tried? Internet on & off all day. **** Turpin had the courtesy to wear a mask #fail #virginmedia

  • KerryPearse Kerry Pearse 💕 (@KerryPearse) reported from Widnes, England

    @virginmedia Tried ringing but got nowhere on phone to customer services so just need to cancel. Is this something I can do via the website?

  • MrCRichardson Craig Richardson 🌈 (@MrCRichardson) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia how do you you speak to the specialist complaints dept. I have had a billing issue for over 2 months, that still isn’t resolved? Told last week would get call Monday still waiting...

  • wptd17 Warren Davies (@wptd17) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia Trying to update my TiVo box but issues on the router mean that the TiVo is in a loop stuck at 16%. Help!!!!

  • parki99 parki99 (@parki99) reported from Seaforth, England

    @virginmedia daily reeboting of my router is not an answer. Giving me another new router where I then have to reset all of my smart devices is not an answer. Sort out the supply. The BT cables are now in service in my area and switching is looking more likely!

  • davidbowes80 Dave the deccy (@davidbowes80) reported from Eccleston, England

    @BBCWatchdog My dad recieved Absolute terrible customer service from @virginmedia apparently when you cancel a contract in april it still doesn't show up on their system and then get a bill they say they couldn't access his account to cancel it but could when he offered to 1/2

  • KerryPearse Kerry Pearse 💕 (@KerryPearse) reported from Widnes, England

    @virginmedia so much easier to cancel payments than actually sort issues out with you. Customer services Not helpful and don’t care

  • wanner316 wayne peers (@wanner316) reported from Golborne, England

    @virginmedia Done everything we are even losing signal now when we never did

  • parki99 parki99 (@parki99) reported from Seaforth, England

    @virginmedia service is down Again in L22. When are you going to do a proper investigation into the cables and rectify your infrastructure. You may provide the fastest broadband, but what good is speed when there is an issue delivering it to properties?

  • bigdrwes Wesley Tensel (@bigdrwes) reported from Leigh, England

    Another outage with @virginmedia - I’ve been told as a contingency you would be able to send me a dongle as I have to work remotely at times for my #NHS work. Can someone assist with this please and unable to get through on the phone

  • samtcartwright Sam Cartwright (@samtcartwright) reported from Golborne, England

    @virginmedia It’s gone off again, says estimated fix time is 4pm tomorrow.. what is going on? Lowton area, warrington. Seriously considering swapping to another provider and only just sorted a new deal with you. I’m not happy.

  • liameaglestone Liam Eaglestone (@liameaglestone) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia how do I best report the broadband is not working at my home?

  • CatherineR0bb0 Catherine Robinson (@CatherineR0bb0) reported from Leigh, England

    @virginmedia @virginmedia my internet keeps turning off and has been for 2 days now. It’s been rebooted and is still doing the same thing. Online checking status says there’s not an issue- there definitely is an issue WN7 postcode

  • samtcartwright Sam Cartwright (@samtcartwright) reported from Golborne, England

  • christinalul :: christina :: (@christinalul) reported

    @virginmedia It's more so wifi, I used to use Ethernet which was also shocking so stopped, but paying for a high speed / for the multiple devices purpose and then having devices disconnect and the network go down so often, it's terrible

  • LuckyEi49591733 LuckyEight (@LuckyEi49591733) reported

    @virginmedia Im not expecting any help just more lies as thats all I have had for the last monthy.

  • Ian66232919 corby (@Ian66232919) reported

    @virginmedia Hi. Yes you moved me onto o2 network and I’m unsure of my package but I pay for 3 phone accounts

  • LuckyEi49591733 LuckyEight (@LuckyEi49591733) reported

    @virginmedia Nope just wanted the upgraded HUB for the 2.5gb port Will see what comes of my complaint.

  • pwvoiceovers Patrick Woodward (@pwvoiceovers) reported

    @virginmedia How can I get someone to come and replace my broken outside wall box? There's no such option on 150. Thanks.

  • Angelisuk007 Angelis 🇹🇹🇬🇧🏳️‍🌈 (@Angelisuk007) reported

    @MartinSLewis I'm with @virginmedia and now paying over £9 for only 1G, and 1500 minutes. Never really use the minutes and much of the data. It feels like I'm donating more to Virgin now with the recent increase. Any suggestions on who to switch to especially since nice to have more data?

  • jespreilly Jes Reilly (@jespreilly) reported

    @virginmedia TV down again in AL3 and no information as to when back up. One of the worst performing providers in the UK and even worse customer information and support.

  • _xVintoreZ VintoreZ (@_xVintoreZ) reported

    @virginmedia @vmbusinesshelp Whilst I appreciate you are either social media only, or a bot. Your support never does anything to help, it’s all-ways the same. “Must be a network fault” and then nothing happens.

  • clarkeky Korkay (@clarkeky) reported

    @No1Footballer @MartinSLewis @virginmedia You dont need to be. As soon as you started the volt contract all you needed to do was phone O2 to cancel... its 2 separate direct debits so doesnt impact your virgin deal

  • outofph4z3 David Wallace (@outofph4z3) reported

    @virginmedia I am a long time virginmedia customer and this type of experience is not new. Basically my phone and router were in separate rooms, and I have been forced to move phone beside router, because engineer was not permitted to re-cable through crawl spaces.
