    @virginmedia Don't use this company its disgusting and disappointing the way they treat customers. Been trying to sort my contract out for 3 months now while they rob my money, create contracts that I've not agreed to and cancel complaints that I've raised.

  • SmithysMaud
    Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia can someone help me please? I’m about to lose my ****. Never ever known anything like this company. Now telling me lies on WhatsApp. Saying i logged an issue weeks after engineers had already been out to find the fault. Refusing compensation after 4 mths no service.

  • Radebreast
    Graeme Radebe (@Radebreast) reported from Ormskirk, England

    @virginmedia Hi - Ive noticed alot of people are having the same issues. Its the Sky TV Go app on Playstation 4. Ive checked it on another internet and it works fine so it is definitely an error on your side. You need to sort the internet settings. It struggles to load “on Now” on the app.

  • SmithysMaud
    Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @jenwahkiddles @virginmedia Pity they didn’t do it for us, had no tv or broadband for over 3 months and can’t even get the compensation they owe us, plus the direct debits they took knowing we had total loss of service. Shambolic company.

  • les_murray71
    Lesley Murray (@les_murray71) reported from Wallasey, England

    @virginmedia Yes got the update thanks but not helpful receiving a text to say issue resolved, service has been off for 14 hours now, any background to reason why? Its a massive area to be out with no explanation

  • GarethWHughes
    Gareth Hughes GBC TV (@GarethWHughes) reported from Roby, England

    Has virgin media gone down? #virginmedia @virginmedia

  • andrewjmcgill
    Andy McGill (@andrewjmcgill) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia I have been without broadband all day, a day after you sent me a letter about price increases, an increase for what, even poorer service!!!!

  • Robertlfc_
    Rob (@Robertlfc_) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia is honestly the worst company for WiFi

  • les_murray71
    Lesley Murray (@les_murray71) reported from Wallasey, England

    @MarkKav15119614 @virginmedia Well my bills ain't getting paid today so will get charges, anything i try to do on apps / chrome not working, twitter on and off

  • Billzy79
    Billzy (@Billzy79) reported from Liverpool, England

    @Jacedafaceis @virginmedia Yes. Been out to lake district, and 4G mobile phone signal was quick and more reliable than the broadband. And people thought it was normal.

  • obpls1995
    owen southworth (@obpls1995) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia can you explain why the moment I told your staff over the phone that I was disabled they decided to speak to me as if I was an idiot and then tell me they can't help me because I can't spell out my password despite telling them 5 times what the password was.

  • SmithysMaud
    Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia I reported a total loss of service on 31/8. It was finally fixed this morning. After no shows, lies and weeks between visits. They have not even offered to cover the cost of my last 3 dd’s which I wish I hadn’t paid as I had no service whatsoever

  • ShanklyBob77
    Ian Hawksey (@ShanklyBob77) reported from Aintree Village, England

    Absolute nightmare trying to watch @SkySportsF1 on my phone because of how poor @virginmedia are especially since merging with @o2, used to just put email and password in, now going around in circles with same message asking me to verify email link and switch, very poor practice.

  • pstock62
    Paul Stockton (@pstock62) reported from Horwich, England

    @virginmedia Internet down in BL6 5RN, any idea's

  • John_Kelly17
    John Kelly (@John_Kelly17) reported from St Helens, England

    @CruisingTheCut I’ve had very few issues with virgin media - depends if you need TV though. Otherwise I’ve heard very good things about over the air using the three network or EE.

  • lurkinhead
    Martin Travis (@lurkinhead) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia Okay, but with respect, the problem is your call centre say different stuff every time, which inevitably bears no resemblance to reality. Later, VM deny those conversations ever took place and there is no written evidence to back up what was agreed. That's what I am after here?

  • supergran22
    Maureen StewartJones (@supergran22) reported from Eccleston, England

    @virginmedia I have a booster. It was sent to me last Spring because of previous problems with TV in this room.

    @virginmedia anyone thinking of leaving Sky for this load of rubbish please don’t, now 2 days without TV £160 per month I’m paying, and I have no channels. Problem after problem.😡

  • renebatsford
    Rene Batsford (@renebatsford) reported

    @virginmedia None tbh - stated it was a known issue w/ newer routers, didn't explain why waiting a week would fix it - if they'd explained why, I might be more understanding - service has been dreadful, nxt wk it will be getting on a month, I expect some form of comp for the poor service

  • Aloogobipudh
    Sanjio (@Aloogobipudh) reported

    @virginmedia Our new virginmedia broadband has been down since midnight, and the estimated time for fixing it has moved from 9:30 am today to 3:30pm June 2nd. Nobody to discuss this with. Chatbot useless. This is way worse than sky. How do we move back to them?

  • Hatts_X
    Hatts (@Hatts_X) reported

    @JamieGBarry @virginmedia Just cancel your contract and go with them again

  • PeteUK7
    Pete 😷 #COVIDisAirborne (@PeteUK7) reported

    @itsendeavour @virginmedia I hope they listen to the feedback they are receiving here. Not that I suppose they care that much. It's all about pleasing shareholders rather than providing professional service to their customers.

  • PJL_UK
    PJL (@PJL_UK) reported

    @W_illiam_C @PeteUK7 @virginmedia The Tell us Once Service does not contact the Office of the Public Guardian. You have to do that yourself to cancel any Powers of Attorney.

  • KeithClarke1
    Bern 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@KeithClarke1) reported

    @JamieGBarry @virginmedia I managed to negotiate a pretty good deal with Virgin. Not quite a new customer deal but pretty good.

  • WeHearYou2020
    WeHearYou (@WeHearYou2020) reported

    @virginmedia @rafthemaster They offer an awful service. When there was a national outage a fee weeks ago our main box coincidentally went off and stopped working. Spent nearly two hours on the phone waiting and then trying to explain our problem. We were promised a new box. Still waiting. Shocking service.

  • DavMichael
    mike davies (@DavMichael) reported

    @virginmedia any timescale of when the majority of Swansea will be back to normal no service at all since 2pm yesterday

  • Lfc93Werb
    werb (@Lfc93Werb) reported

    @virginmedia @PeteUK7 Chatting ****. My credit rating got destroyed after I left O2 and they sorted all the paperwork then years later a mistake on their end had them deciding I hadn't and they invented a debt and solid it to a debt company. All phone companies are massive scam artists
