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

  • 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.

  • SammyKnowlesX SJK (@SammyKnowlesX) reported from Banks, England

    @virginmedia And no response on my second, and then an incorrect bill, this is why someone is meant to be ringing me to sort it out and deal properly as I’m so angry with the service received

  • pkitch1 paul kitchen (@pkitch1) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England

    @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?

  • SammyKnowlesX SJK (@SammyKnowlesX) reported from Banks, England

    @virginmedia I’ve spoken with someone in the new development team who’s advised they’ve escalated all my complaints and someone should be ringing me directly to take through and fix everything. However no response

  • Knitswithbeer knitswithbeer🐝🏳️‍🌈Stay Home (@Knitswithbeer) reported from Euxton, England

    So, apparently been without all @virginmedia service ahain today, without warning, when Hubbs was supposed to be working from home. No projected resolution until 10pm; WTF am I paying for? Seriously?? 🤬🤬🤬

  • lewishorsey92 Lewis Horsfield (@lewishorsey92) reported from Warton, England

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

  • SmartCoffeeOff1 Dave R (@SmartCoffeeOff1) reported from Blackburn, England

    What do a pay for, I'm trying to watch football on now TV and losing Internet all the time, pay for a top package and **** service, @Virgin #internet #virginmedia #broadband

  • Knitswithbeer knitswithbeer🐝🏳️‍🌈Stay Home (@Knitswithbeer) reported from Euxton, England

    @DisneyPlusUK @NPGLondon @virginmedia better sought out the local outage for this. Wait, I can watch on my tablet via the app you say? Not unless they also sought out the WiFi issue. Call them to complain you say? Not unless they sought out the landline issue...😐

  • courtsthomasx 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐀𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐚 (@courtsthomasx) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia My Broadband has been down for quite a few days now. I have no received any text updates and would like to speak to somebody with regards to down time and to get an ETA of when it should be back up and running.

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

    @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.

  • Knitswithbeer knitswithbeer🐝🏳️‍🌈Stay Home (@Knitswithbeer) reported from Euxton, England

    @virginmedia Yes, but each deadline came and went with no resolution and the notification by text didn't happen Anyway, there's no point in this conversation any more as there's nothing you can do except make the company look bad with each answer I give

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

    @virginmedia I've spent three hours over two calls waiting for you to confirm a discount on my below standard broadband and to deliver a booster. I have had to escalate a complaint as it couldn't be resolved on the phone yet I'm still waiting for the level of service promised!!!

  • Libra_Comms Ali Gudgeon ✍🏻️ (@Libra_Comms) reported from Preston, England

    @virginmedia The problem with the search facility is that it brings up multiple episodes but none of them have dates on. This needs addressing please!

  • Knitswithbeer knitswithbeer🐝🏳️‍🌈Stay Home (@Knitswithbeer) reported from Euxton, England

    It seems my @virginmedia goes down on a weekly basis at the moment. Usually on my days off...🤬

  • Knitswithbeer knitswithbeer🐝🏳️‍🌈Stay Home (@Knitswithbeer) reported from Euxton, England

  • Bismurff Lauren Fox (@Bismurff) reported from Warton, England

    @virginmedia having issues in the Warton area... been trying to call but there's no answer - all the online help did nothing. Are issues happening everywhere? #virginmediadown

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

    @MintyPNE @virginmedia Yes, camera angle awful. Went for the defer season ticket option to next year, so could have had ifollow tonight, but that has hardly been reliable. Still we are winning!

  • harley_kl karen (@harley_kl) reported

    @virginmedia your customer service is an absolute joke, your online help is useless you can't even take a direct debit on the agreed date!

  • ChoudhuryJie Jie Choudhury (@ChoudhuryJie) reported

    @virginmedia More than happy to pursue this with Cisas instead. Your complaints process has been neglected and you’ve not followed ANY of the things you agree to when making a complaint.

  • alan_gibbons Alan Gibbons (@alan_gibbons) reported

    @virginmedia And for Christ's sake, stop telling customers you're 'sorry we feel this way'! Just say sorry - we feel this way because of your companies awful service, customer support and believe it or not from a communication company,......YOUR COMMUNICATION!

  • rhiannongore RhiRhi (@rhiannongore) reported

    @virginmedia watching @ITV @GMB this morning and the local news is suddenly showing Meridian news. I have always had London news as I am in Hertfordshire. Unsure on who’s problem this is but can someone tell me if this is a permanent change or a temporary mistake?

  • ChoudhuryJie Jie Choudhury (@ChoudhuryJie) reported

    @virginmedia Any solution to this @virginmedia I mean Nearly 4 weeks since making a formal complaint for the company taking a contract out in my name without my permission is less than acceptable

  • Nokesy73 Paul Nokes (@Nokesy73) reported

    @virginmedia Burgess Hill still down, Xmas is ruined another blow to a awful year. Sad times

  • billysastard1 billy sastard (@billysastard1) reported

    @1984Mathew i'm hoping that a 4th reboot in 24 hours will get my @virginmedia router to reconnect my smart home for longer than it takes to boil the kettle, but honestly i'm not holding out much hope as it's complete crap.

  • bexrayspex1 bexrayspex (@bexrayspex1) reported

    @Gamer4wife @ethanrw_yt @virginmedia Such a shame, I’ve had the same issues with upload speed and virgin too! Now I just have no I internet at all :/

  • RdmProperty Rdm Property Care (Rory mccallion ) (@RdmProperty) reported

    @virginmedia have you got a help line that actually helps

  • alan_gibbons Alan Gibbons (@alan_gibbons) reported

    @virginmedia If it's not your Broadband service (which has been worked on several times, for days at a time recently) then it is your wifi router. Either way - we want the service we are paying for and we shouldn't be fixing it for you!!
