    @virginmedia There’s absolutely nothing wrong with the phone, I can travel to different areas and get 4 bars on my phone and it works no problem, the problem is in the area I live.The reception always used to be fine but for quite some time now it’s been awful, I currently have one bar.

    @virginmedia Then was told a booster would be delivered that never arrived. So when I called back it hadn't actually been ordered. I finally received it yesterday but am still waiting for a call back following a complaint I made and the charges I am not willing to pay for the booster.

    @virginmedia absolutely regret going with you. Nothing but trouble ever since we joined 😤🤬

    @virginmedia I've been passed from pillar to post and I'm.not getting any answers. Can you contact me or cancely service

  • Nicole_Baker
    NicoleMichelleBaker (@Nicole_Baker) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England

    @VirginMediaCorp @virginmedia please contact me, it is imperative that you do. I have received zero customer service from you for a service I pay over £600 a year for. I would like your retention and technical team to make contact asap.

    @nerdscav @the_hinchy @virginmedia Yes because a WiFi extender will fix the issue when it's the incoming line and not the hardware 😳. The routers gives a 3ping and 1GBps connection. The issue is virgin's crappy network 👍

  • Nicole_Baker
    NicoleMichelleBaker (@Nicole_Baker) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England

    @virginmedia still holding 1:24 mins later. Your customer services are shocking

    @virginmedia 3rd time this week internet has gone down. Possibly the worst provider in the country

  • BooCavapoo
    BooCavapoo 🐶 (@BooCavapoo) reported from Penwortham, England

    @virginmedia please sort out the issues with the WiFi, Internet, broadband or whatever the term us these days. It is constantly slow or not working. Having to use mobile data is not an effective substitute for the service I am paying for.

  • TerryBpne
    Crazy Corner (@TerryBpne) reported from Walton le Dale, England

    @MintyPNE @virginmedia I ranted & got nowhere. My wife got an engineer round and job sorted (V box on 2nd room) They don't care about customer service.

  • ShimmiArt
    ✨Shimmi✨ Comms open! (@ShimmiArt) reported from Preston, England

    @virginmedia internet yesterday went from 12mbs (11am) to 30mbs (3pm). Today it’s 3mbs. How is this acceptable? No reported issues but our internet goes up and down constantly, sometimes goes off altogether

    Lewis Horsfield (@lewishorsey92) reported from Warton, England

    @virginmedia your internet service is ******* crap

    @virginmedia Having problems with our broadband, hub shows a list of critical errors, can’t speak to anyone on the phone, website is useless,where can we get help?

  • Adzcantsing
    Adz can't sing (@Adzcantsing) reported from Penwortham, England

    @virginmedia useless we are trying to cancel and for past 2 weeks now since we have moved home. We have been pushed from pillar to post, been laughed at by customer service. Since we moved we have we've been promised someone will come and sort it.

    The Monk (@StephenMonk1970) reported from Preston, England

    Virgin Mobile. Utterly useless. All I want is to send a text and call people. My bill isn't due until 8th May. There is no online help. Really cheesed off. #virginmobile #virginmedia #virginbilling

    Who in their right mind schedules planned maintenance for a Monday morning and says it could go on until three pm? Oh yeah, @virginmedia - cracking service as always #workfromhome #muppets

    aldo (@ukaldo2) reported

    @virginmedia The service has now been maintained but on us to ensure that's the case. You shouldn't have had one of your sales reps pressure my mother night after night without checking a service could be provided within your budget

  • AnnieLa60958950
    Back to the 70s (@AnnieLa60958950) reported

    @virginmedia After bring pestered for 3 days and finally answering my phone, someone at Virgin Media puts the phone down abruptly on me because I didn't know what day I paid my bill. VERY RUDE!!

  • goodridgehelen
    Helen Goodridge (@goodridgehelen) reported

    @liamgallagher Bloody Virgin Media packed up at 4.30. Had family coming over. Said it wouldn’t be back until midnight. Can you believe it. Watched on daughter’s phone 4G. Buffing and 6 mins behind. Poor for virgin media.

  • Nichola09215766
    Nicholas (@Nichola09215766) reported

    @virginmedia Are you able to contact the staff that used to work on them because I have a long running complaint and despite forum staff having access to info nobody at 150 can help and apparently the ONLY time my problem got identified and fixed nobody can find except for forum staff.

  • exolon
    OMF (@exolon) reported

    @FractalDoctor I called Virgin Media the other day and had to spend 5 minutes shouting slowly at an almost useless AI, before being passed to the loudest call centre in India where they tried to upsell me a mobile phone plan before accepting my instruction to end a broadband service. Greed.

    Tired of paying for multiple subscriptions like Sky, BT Sport, Virgin Media, Now TV, Amazon Prime, Disney+, Apple TV+? I have got the solution. This IPTV @8k_IPTV_PRO6 offers: • 300,000+ live channels • 65,000+ VODs • PPV events • Netflix • 78,000+ movies.

  • Bhavinmaru2020
    Bhavin (@Bhavinmaru2020) reported

    @virginmedia There is no resolution time given, so that’s why i am escalating. If this continues I will want to what procedure make formal complaint and get issue fixed.

  • xueshang
    Tweetledumb (@xueshang) reported

    @libertyglobal please ask @virginmedia why they sent me a new TB box without any remote to control it. (Finally they say will send one to reach me "in 5 business days" - keep paying for the service throughout this time!)
