  • TimmyJ1972
    Tim Jackson (@TimmyJ1972) reported from Garston, England

    @virginmedia To be honest, the issue is an intermittent fault. My wife works from home and the broadband just drops out numerous times a day. Then comes back on. It’s only worthwhile doing a remote test if it’s when it drops out. Otherwise all will look fine

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

    @les_murray71 @virginmedia Still saying 12.05 on the app Lesley .... have they put that new estimated fix time out elsewhere? 😱

  • 92Tevs
    Thomas Evans (@92Tevs) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia do you want the prize for the shittiest broadband ever or would you like to fix my internet service?

  • EmmaZhaan64
    Emma (@EmmaZhaan64) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia according to your representative my wifi is working perfectly and I don’t have any issues! That’s a bit odd considering I no service what so ever!

  • LindzDDub
    Lindz Devine (@LindzDDub) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia I never have any issues when it comes to my laptop, though. Just my PS5

  • kevsauno
    Kevin Saunderson* (@kevsauno) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia hello, issues with TV and WiFi in Liverpool L12 area this morning. No issues showing on the app. Tried all the usual stuff but still no connection.

    Before covid came you was brilliant @virginmedia but ever since then you have been really **** and if it not sorted by next Sunday we are leaving you it literally 2023 and you still got **** service

  • 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.

  • BLTwitchy
    Berni Turner 🖤🌹 (@BLTwitchy) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia No I’m not an idiot it was during covid I’ll go back and find it . The chief execs office rang me personally as I’m disabled

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

    @virginmedia There's no point raising a complaint is there, as you won't comprnsate? Other reputable oroviders offer a back-up 4 or 5g device to kick in if their main broadband goes down, to keep the service running. Not VM though - it's just all really poor customer service innit?

  • realjackoh187
    Jack Kelly (@realjackoh187) reported from Widnes, England

    @virginmedia So I had loss of service but not complete even tho the service I had wasn't enough to even complete a 15 minute online training. Great. Even though you only have cold water, would you still get a bath? Nah don't think you would

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

    @virginmedia 38 days after the repull should’ve been done? You think that’s good customer service?

  • CallyRaven
    Carol Rowles (@CallyRaven) reported from Westhoughton, England

    @virginmedia 3 times in 3 weeks we are without internet! We are paying for a service we are not able to use! Are we going to be compensated for this?

  • IanRobEfc1878
    IanRob79💙 (@IanRobEfc1878) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia your red button service is absolute dogshit you either get the wrong commentary or it doesn’t even come on! 🤯🤬

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

    @virginmedia No, they just left. Rang your customer service they are now telling me the problem is internal. I’ve had no internet since July, no tv since August. It’s beyond a joke now. 5 visits I’ve had.

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

    @BlaggerBly @virginmedia Seems to be Wirral wide at least, and I think Liverpool is affected too. VM should be massively compensating their affected customers for this, but they hide behind their terms and conditions where they only deem it reasonable to compensate if the outage last more than 3 days!

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

    @virginmedia fix ur awful service!!!!

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

    @virginmedia Thanks. Very frustrating and time consuming. Spent whole afternoon trying to sort it. Twitter not really the best way to resolve issues especially with an 82 year old.

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia is honestly the worst company for WiFi

    @virginmedia after 19 years of flawless service. You have gone to **** in the last 2 months. Constant issues. Last contract with you. Once this one ends. I’m done with you. This is all it takes. I’ll never use virgin again for anything.

    Hi @virginmedia my internets back down again today. Any chance of flicking switch for a couple of hours? Ta Josh xoxoxo

  • punjabihammer
    Jay Ess Bee (@punjabihammer) reported

    @obbsie @virginmedia Hence I left and went to @SkyUK Their call centre isn’t a machine, and if you’re not happy with the initial contact ask to speak to a supervisor and problems do get resolved.

  • LukeRobertMason
    Luke Robert Mason (@LukeRobertMason) reported

    @virginmedia Where do we start? 1) Your 'Contact Us' ChatBot is utterly unusable. It forces you to move to scan a QR code to move to the app - where you continue to have exactly the same conversation with the same bot in the same web-bases system. 2) It is impossible to ask simple questions: Like 'Cancel Extras'. 3) Everything on the website is about upselling a service over providing customers useful information about their currently plan.

  • SiGallagher
    Simon Gallagher (@SiGallagher) reported

    @virginmedia It’s now 3 hours. Why has there been no message anywhere about the server issue affecting the site and the app?

  • CaroleWinter
    Carole Winter (@CaroleWinter) reported

    @virginmedia can you answer my call please. Been holding for over an hour. Your website does not resolve my issue of rubbish broadband

  • CherylChau1029
    Cheryl Chau (@CherylChau1029) reported

    @virginmedia 2hr phone wait! Mis-sold £78 (quoted £33.99) + 24hr outage. Fix it or I'm cancelling under 14-day cooling-off. #VirginMedia

  • chris_knibb
    Christopher Knibb (@chris_knibb) reported

    Do not use @virginmedia Twitter - they are scammers. Spoke on the phone to VM call centre who said VM would never ask the questions this X account and the WhatsApp account they connect you with would ask. AVOID!!!!

  • obbsie
    Chris Hobbs (@obbsie) reported

    @virginmedia getting slaughtered on 'X' re customer service. Customers have been trying for literally hours to get through. I'm approaching 30 minutes as I've just seen what my new monthly bill is & am being told that unless I install a new box, I'll be cut off. It's the same muzak over & over again.
