  • DavidLaney ⚽️Lethal Brizzle⚽️ (@DavidLaney) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Bet you anything they won’t I’m sorry to say. Never known a change in contract to take a week. Normally done there and then on the phone. The lady didn’t mention anything about this being the case. What now? I’m not waiting a week I’m afraid.

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

    @virginmedia Hey @virginmedia , can we arrange you to call people back rather than sitting in a queue listening to terrible music and running up mobile bill costs?

  • XCharlotteJadeX CharlotteJadeDuffy❀ (@XCharlotteJadeX) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia please can someone help me cancel my contract, I move house in a few weeks and have been trying to get through to you many different ways with no luck for over a month now, I need to sort this ASAP, thanks

  • JiriKPinnock J K P (@JiriKPinnock) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Trying to get some help, on the phone over 30mins. My new bill was overcharged, pls fix it ASAP.

  • steveeades Steve Eades (@steveeades) reported from Runcorn, England

    @virginmedia why is my internet not working again? WA7 4RF postcode please advise.

  • tonyj01 Tony Jacobs (@tonyj01) reported from Manchester, England

    @DawnBly68 @MartinSLewis @virginmedia They make more money with their present commercial stance - loyalty is NOT valued, the new customer is king. So become a new customer.

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

    Need to cancel my @virginmedia contract as the price is going up but the only way to cancel is by phone, with up to an hour queue time. Brilliant.

  • bizzarebird BBird (@bizzarebird) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia No i can't see it, scan says no issues as the issue is only with WiFi. It's down again its insane. Doing full reset to factory setting see if that helps. But no link to report fault on my account

  • bizzarebird BBird (@bizzarebird) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia what's the best way to report a fault without having to go to offshore fault peeps and go through off the turn off switch on again? My WiFi is horrific, and only affects WiFi intermittent service and it disables. Done all the usuals it's knackered WiFi on router.

  • guy140771 The Real Guy Gardner FBPE (@guy140771) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for your reply. Your @virginmedia text bot clearly stated your aim for a human to ring me back within 4 hours - it’s now over 120 hours. May I suggest you update your message, also can you confirm I’ll receive the promised phone call or should I cancel my subscription?

  • DavidLaney ⚽️Lethal Brizzle⚽️ (@DavidLaney) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia It’s NOT an upgrade which I made clear on the phone. Again, no mention of this being the issue.

  • HellsbellsO Helen Walsh-ONeill (@HellsbellsO) reported from Widnes, England

    @virginmedia hi are tv and phone line are not working can you help WA8 8BS

  • steveeades Steve Eades (@steveeades) reported from Runcorn, England

    @virginmedia Carried out the tests and internet now working but seems slow. Also there is an error noted on the Samsung set top box?

  • DavidLaney ⚽️Lethal Brizzle⚽️ (@DavidLaney) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Another issue is if I were to get a phone call in a weeks time I cannot just stop the job I do to answer it. Where will we be then? Having worked for Virgin I know exactly what’s going to happen. This won’t get sorted until my new bill gets paid for services I don’t want ....

  • m_stephens8 macauley stephens (@m_stephens8) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia is the worst for speaking to an actually person🤯 adding packages unauthorised then making the bill nearly double.. jokers

  • guy140771 The Real Guy Gardner FBPE (@guy140771) reported from Salford, England

    So @virginmedia it’s now 48 hours I’ve been waiting in this queue for a call back. I’d appreciate a response before I cancel my package!

  • DavidLaney ⚽️Lethal Brizzle⚽️ (@DavidLaney) reported from Bolton, England

    Hey @virginmedia On the phone to your customer service for 80 minutes in total now and counting. Been put on hold for 30 minutes of that. Losing will to live! Pound to a penny you lot cut me off in a minute......

  • guy140771 The Real Guy Gardner FBPE (@guy140771) reported from Salford, England

    @harrisonmp They wrote to me about my complaint saying they’d been trying to contact me, they haven’t unless they’re still using the wrong mobile number which I’ve informed them about. We’ll ignore the fact that my landline is with them. I just wish someone @virginmedia would take ownership

  • johnslater613 john slater (@johnslater613) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia loosing connection again today the router seems to keep resetting its self have not had constant connection for weeks. You keep saying we need to send signal to router ???

  • AntSweeney Unbearable for the foreseeable 🏆 (@AntSweeney) reported from Warrington, England

    @ThirdUncle2 @virginmedia That's mental, the options for the departments don't make sense either. To change your package, moving home or thinking of leaving us press 4.I press 4,how can I help you, thinking of leaving you, we can't do that here we will have to transfer you to another department.**** off

  • aRuuuN7 Arun Bilz Mattu (@aRuuuN7) reported

    @virginmedia Bit of both to be honest, I’ve entered my postcode in and the service status is good. However I occasionally get disconnected via Wifi and I am receiving download speeds of 45 Mbps when I’m paying for 350.

  • TonyCla11689696 Tony Clark (@TonyCla11689696) reported

    @virginmedia I am a Virgin customer and at 11:33 today I received a call on my landline from 01515177785. Female caller claimed to be from Virgin, asking about its performance. Challenged her ID and the link was broken. She did not call back. Suspected fraud.

  • grantestevens Grant Stevens (@grantestevens) reported

    @virginmedia The engineer did make some tweaks that were supposed to help (which haven't) but did also suggest that modern Apple devices do struggle on the now aged Routers.

  • SF230911 Scott (@SF230911) reported

    @virginmedia I currently can’t do either, reliant on wifi calling from my mobile which I currently can’t do and don’t own a landline phone, the online self service is as much use as a chocolate teapot, I’m assuming if I cancel the direct debit you’ll be quick to get in touch.

  • londonkelbee Kerry Bannister (@londonkelbee) reported

    @virginmedia I'll try it and see what happens but can't say I'm optimistic as these issues have been going on for months and I know we've tried that before.

  • smmconcierge Claire Hunter Facebook Ads Consultant (@smmconcierge) reported

    @virginmedia No loose connections I can see. Its been happening for months now. Not good when you require a good signal to run your business
