    @virginmedia do you have an email or a direct telephone to make a complaint too please? I’ve had to make several complaints since joining which get rectified them something else goes wrong and I am sick of it

  • LawAspi
    TheAspiLawStudent #NoReturns (@LawAspi) reported from Chorley, England

    @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 👍

    @virginmedia can someone please message me. I have been struggling to get hold of someone to **** and resolve a home telephone. I have been promised call backs to resolve this long overdue complaint. But still wait to speak to someone!

  • LawAspi
    TheAspiLawStudent (@LawAspi) reported from Chorley, England

    @virginmedia Yeah, I've done all that (I'm a techy) it's why it's in modem mode and replaced with a capable router. The issue isnt the equipment it's the connection. Without the hub3 I can run upto 900Mbps download and 240mbps upload.

    @virginmedia just wasted two hours on web chat trying to get a better sim deal as advertised. 45 mins to get through security. Tried to check/sign in on the Virgin mobile app and it doesn’t work for me or my husband, despite having an account for years. An absolute joke! 👎🏻

    @virginmedia your broadband is down again 🤬

  • houghtonc79
    Chris (@houghtonc79) reported from Preston, England

    @virginmedia So after having pissed around since mid December refusing to send me a new router due to intermittent WiFi issues with some devices losing connection. Today it has been on and off over a dozen times. Now no connection at all, no Internet and no phone service 😡

  • mgsevs
    sevs66 (@mgsevs) reported from Kirkham, England

    @virginmedia @Piethagoram How about maintaining free roaming charges then seeing as you've hiked the cost of using your service

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia please provide a direct contact for complaints. Sick of the poor service and mistakes that I have had every month since joining you

    @virginmedia Okay let me start from the beginning and just read everything I say and then give me a solution. I tried watching on my Mac last night. It kept telling me to register my device so I did. And now it’s saying there’s max devices registered and won’t let me watch anything

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

    @virginmedia your internet service is a ******* shambles. How do I contact someone to make an official complaint about the service I receive. Which is non existent for most of the week?

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

  • 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

    @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

    SJK (@SammyKnowlesX) reported from Banks, England

    @virginmedia Where to begin🙄 started with instillation issues, then accused of lying, then billed for stuff that was free in my deal, set up for billing wrong, then just completely wrong bills, then advised my deal was increasing in fixed fee contract, then someone made changes on my

    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

    @MelJanie @virginmedia Virgin made all customer care off shore and made us all redundant, just so they can save money...but in the process are losing their customers.

  • mairtinofaolain
    Martin Whelan (@mairtinofaolain) reported

    @PaulOBrienKil @VirginMediaNews @VirginMediaIE Currently swapping to Digiweb for broadband. Customer service seems to be their thing. A sales rep from Eir annoyed me with his pushiness, and Virgin Media ain't that great a price anymore

  • lionking2014
    Martin (@lionking2014) reported

    @JuanSpanishfly @LPXIOP @virginmedia I know how it works I was using voip 30 years ago!... The problem is the virgin broadband is down more often than the virgin phone line... So seems like I am losing a reliable landline line to go over a dodgy broadband one!

    GamerStyle1980 (@GamerStyle1980) reported

    @seanaustin1985 @Johnty14 @virginmedia I remember phone VM tech support and the poor person on the other end of the phone didn't know an awful lot I ended up having to tell them what needed to be done I'm not with VM anymore thank god

    LivingSage (@LivingSage2) reported

    @Dacosta150 @Jojo_agboola Bro, I’m on Youfibre too, lovely network. I dropped virgin media broadband, not because they are bad but cos of Youfibre upload speed. Their 1000mbps download is same with their 1000 upload. I’m on You2000 and it’s been lovely. @Jojo_agboola should try it

    @virginmedia your online chat to us hasn’t worked for over 6 weeks. I have only been able to cancel today after being on a 1 hour call. Please advise when my account will be credited?

    @LeeHarris @virginmedia The fact you seem shocked by this means 1 of 2 things. 1) You're really dense & didn't research how truly terrible VM services are 2) You went for the cheap option & this is the result

    @virginmedia Wow you really don't want additional business, shocking experience both with your customer service bot and now when DM your X bot. What a terrible business.

    Chris Tindall (@chewytheleftie) reported

    @alan_reddish @sibelian62 @virginmedia They are a terrible company for internet. Fortunately for us we have plenty of their direct rivals who we use instead now after they made it clear our custom was of no interest to them
