    @virginmedia just been took out of a game of fifa, that I was winning! Because of your awful internet. Get it fixed!!

  • davetarl
    Dave Tarleton 💙 (@davetarl) reported from Wallasey, England

    @virginmedia I want to cancel my contract as it is at the end. Twice now I have been kicked off the chat whilst waiting. This is unacceptable. I can't ring at present so the chat is ideal to run in the background. I just want to press a button that says end the contract!

    Having the choice of the awful customer service of @virginmedia or the @bt_uk network which in my area might as well be two tin cans tied together with string is great!

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

    Internet down no good when working home #virginmediadown #virginmedia

  • 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

  • 111O1O1O11O
    lloyd #utft (@111O1O1O11O) reported from Wallasey, England

    No service in CH44 for 2 days last week, back on for 2, then off again today. No text updates but service status says a fix by 20.00. Won't happen though will it? @virginmedia

  • 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?

    @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

  • elisabethhilto4
    Elisabeth Hilton (@elisabethhilto4) reported from Lowton, England

    @virginmedia Trying to make a complaint - signed up to a deal I clearly asked not to be. Your website doesn’t work and can’t get through on the phone. Can someone please dm me with a way to speak to someone urgently

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

    @virginmedia They’ve been today apparently to do the repull and nothing has changed. Still no service. I won’t be paying this month as I’m not paying for nothing.

  • Nicolajb87
    Nicola Bates (@Nicolajb87) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Im not free no but shes managed to get a whats app going although the numbers they are giving her are not working. She just wants her phone to work.

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

    @virginmedia I have to say your Internet connection is ridiculous... for months on end, it's been shocking. I'm sick and tired of resetting my hub, I shouldn't be having this issue. Never had so much issue for the years I've had you and now, the past 6 months, I'm paying monies…

  • CllrMichaelHaw

    @virginmedia It says there's no issues at the moment, but I'm only getting 13mbps.

  • AckerHeron
    Tony (@AckerHeron) reported from Liverpool, England

    Hi @virginmedia, my dear old mum has been on the phone for 20 minutes because her broadband has gone down. Your advisors keep saying to reset the hub and disconnecting before it's sorted. Any ideas? Still using the crap one you sent years ago despite her recontracting

  • RebekahP1nk
    Rebekah Jones (@RebekahP1nk) reported from Prenton, England

    @virginmedia soooo what's wrong this time?? You are just about up the cost to astronomical amounts and now the broadband goes down again ..

    @virginmedia How am I supposed to contact you? You don't answer the telephone, the link to live chat doesn't work and there's no email address. I need to discuss a recent communication from you

  • katecooper1957

  • revoraman
    Ric M. (@revoraman) reported

    @Benleo Well said, Ben. Yes, the WORST! You are in the public eye. Private Cstmrs like me who get billed for DD payments by @virginmedia , despite writing to Cust Svcs Exec in March, April, still cannot access emails, as their Support is totally inept+incompetent!

    laney ☆ (@worldsaapart) reported

    @virginmedia is the wifi down in the M38 area? My mum can't log into the wifi on her phone or tv and when she tries it says it's not in range

    @virginmedia The outage is in my area (Hampshire) but this has now been going on since 1041am, 4 hours ago!

  • LWTMartin
    LWT Martin (@LWTMartin) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia I’ve been hearing this for years and as a consequence would never, ever, consider anything from Virginia Media. Doesn’t help you, I know, it’s just a ‘you’re not alone’ type sympathy.

    @jomickane @Benleo @virginmedia Vodafone. I mean they all ******* suck but Vodafone sucks least at the moment.

  • Limey31649474
    Limey (@Limey31649474) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia Same experience over weekend. Too much to write here but the worst I’ve been seen, incompetent beyond compare. Will be cancelling and expect them to wave the £108 they want to charge me to do so. Have a complaint raised, apparently I can’t respond to it for 8 weeks! Crap.

  • glenn_coin
    Glenn Edwards ⚽️🥊🦮 🇬🇧 (@glenn_coin) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia It’s the only option I have that doesn’t use Openreach lines, which are crap. They were terrible when they were NTL as well, seems like nothing has changed.

    @Benleo @Scott7507064635 @virginmedia I once had Virgin Media broadband (because there was no alternative in the area) and I had the same awful experience with them. I hate them and would never use them again.
