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

    @virginmedia Nobody can help me, they just keep asking for patience. They’ve had since august to fix it. It’s unacceptable.

  • tomrushton88

    @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

    @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.

    @tonymc39 @virginmedia Really, truly shockingly terrible.

    @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.

  • BootleFCBucks
    Bootle Bucks (@BootleFCBucks) reported from Liverpool, England

    @JamesSymes8 Virgin Media. It keeps going really bad.

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

    @virginmedia are an absolute joke. Was told to call back at half 6 and guess what? They’re shut! And again, no engineer visit. Getting cancelled 1st thing in the morning. Over a month of total loss of service, piss take. #avoid

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

    @virginmedia All the while taking my direct debit payments for a service I am not getting

  • RayWaring
    Ray Waring (@RayWaring) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Sorry I really don’t get it. A few hours ago I was told that your team would investigate etc. Now you’re telling you don’t have any access so I’m left to hang on with no one from VM being able to update me. Is that it?

  • 1AnneMcCormack
    Anne McCormack (@1AnneMcCormack) reported from Billinge Chapel End, England

    @DoctorLemma Well done . Always had great service from @virginmedia just cant afford them anymore.

  • EmsydilemsyL
    Emma Latham (@EmsydilemsyL) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia advice please! I’ve been a customer for over ten years and am also an o2 customer and my account is now going up by another £12 per month on a pretty basic package! Phoned twice and been told that someone will get back to me with a new price package - still nothing

  • Robertlfc_

  • agarnett
    Adam (@agarnett) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia Is there any way to tell if there are signal issues in your area? This says i should get 4g indoors and outdoors, i dont though i can barely access mobile internet from my house. Last 3 months have been awful

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

    @virginmedia I'm checking online and it's saying there is an issue with the TV, but saying broadband is fine. I've had constant disconnections throughout the day for 2 weeks now. It works for a few minutes then goes off. What is going on?

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

    @virginmedia I’d love to hear from how I’m supposed to report an issue with my broadband. You can’t do it via live chat and seemingly not via the phone either as you’re “experiencing difficulties”

  • cambo691
    Cambo (@cambo691) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @les_murray71 @virginmedia This and their woeful customer service is why we binned them off mate

  • 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?

  • ScouseBouncy
    Scouse House Bouncy Music (@ScouseBouncy) reported

    @virginmedia Not my account so I can speak you about it. What happens though is, you start a stream and then it corrupts, goes to a black screen and goes to a “Error code: COMPO” then closes. This is not network related, it’s not a box issue. It is an issue with authentication

  • Nokkapie
    Paul Tee (@Nokkapie) reported

    @virginmedia Oh ive just had a chat with your customer services and they were not just useless but they lied! Claiming my bill increase was a contractual price rise which is utter nonsense seeing my actual pre contract I AGREED to has the price rises April 2027!

  • geminicat7
    Jan (@geminicat7) reported

    🛜 I’m safely back from the dentist’s 😷 (only a 6 monthly check-up and all was well) but now our internet is down and not likely to be resolved until 17:30! @virginmedia 👋 I can’t afford to use up my mobile data chatting on social media so I’ll see you when / if it’s sorted!

  • lovelylisaj
    Lisa Allen (@lovelylisaj) reported

    @virginmedia hi, my mum got a call supposedly from you about the router being slow. I took over and I don’t think it was legit. They were asking me to switch off the router and put it on again. I ended the call as I was suspicious. Internet speed is fine.

  • girlieb71
    kaz (@girlieb71) reported

    @virginmedia I've had 2 emails now asking me to verify my identity but it seems I'm being hacked as the person is miles away from me, I've checked my security and it says I set up a passkey last week which I haven't, can you help

    AG10CookingSzn (@AG10szn) reported

    @eternalelneny @virginmedia Well done mate, chuck a couple of minimum wage workers under the bus who are working to fix your wifi so you can goon at home. Selfish prick

    @virginmedia why can’t I find the link to help me change my account email address? Every time I click to login, it reverts me back to the login page. Really ****** UX.

    @jokewapo @O2 @virginmedia Mate how bad is the 02 signal up our way now! Phoned them to see if there was an issue and it's something to do with the mast
