    @virginmedia I have had: -An upgrade -An engineer come and change the box outside my house -A brand new hub -New power line adapters -My connection tested on your end numerous times And yet the connection, 99 times out of 100, feels like total shit whenever I use anything intensive.

    @virginmedia took out new contract. Been waiting 2 days for the service to be activated and have been promised 2 call backs to help resolve the issue which has I have not had. Very poor service indeed.

    @virginmedia you really are impossible!20+ years as a customer, you invite me to get in touch to discuss my end of contract choices, then provide the lamest excuses when I try but fail! Mmm #timeforachangeofprovider

    @virginmedia After being on hold for over 50 minutes I had to end the call. I’m literally back to square one. That’s the problem.

    @virginmedia No they have not. If they had done what they’ve advised they’d done, the complaint should be linked to my account? Surely?

  • SimonLew87
    S (@SimonLew87) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia Yes I have and it’s says there are no issues. It’s frustrating as I’m working from home and continues to drop or go off.

    @virginmedia loving the even further dial down of our broadband as we enter InTo the last few days of contract with you! You already turned it down after the first 8 weeks so we had to upgrade! We have never used you before and we will never use you again! Good riddance!

  • okaibedi

    Virgin media @virginmedia your network won’t let me enjoy the #UCLFinal. I have never been this terrified before!!!

  • CarryOnGemma
    CarryOnGemma (@CarryOnGemma) reported

    @virginmedia this has gone beyond the pale now. You already know all the issues my dad and I have had for, well, weeks now. Dad had all his recordings deleted and now his new recordings are recording and now he’s watched part of something he can’t go back and watch it because it says the recording has failed. This has happened on every recording. It seems to record fine then changes to failed. Get this sorted and get the broadband sorted. How @Ofcom isn’t all over this I don’t know. Pushing people to take the V6 and then a year later this happens. Shocking.

  • EimhearMurphy

    @LitterOlivia @PeteUK7 @virginmedia I remember having them when I was at uni! Their service was horrendous and signal was diabolical. Never went near them since.

  • SimonRichardsMB
    Hot_Cold_Warm Matched Betting (@SimonRichardsMB) reported

    Well played @virginmedia and @tntsports for offering the @ChampionsLeague final free to customers… but it slightly sucks the audio is out of sync with the visuals!

    Virgin media is so bad it took me turning my phone wifi off and on again 3 times and resetting soundcloud twice just to put on a song

  • MelinaKakoulid7
    Melina Kakoulidis (@MelinaKakoulid7) reported

    I staff @virginmedia customer services have taken leave of their senses. I called and the lady asked me how much is your bill every month as part of the verification process I said £27 a month she asked for my email address which I gave and she again asked for my price?

  • melon_h
    Helen Rimmer @thekindbraveleader.bsky.social (@melon_h) reported

    We now have a @virginmedia engineer booked but not until Tuesday, cue loss of earnings, money spent on extra data and petrol to go to my parents to try and use internet. Issue was definitely local area but now been told need engineer. 5 days after first went off.

  • PeteUK7
    Pete 😷 #COVIDisAirborne (@PeteUK7) reported

    @nathanial332 @virginmedia I obviously don't think that. This isn't about me - it's about their systems being woeful. An email from me and nothing changes. They can sweep it away and continue this terrible service. Feedback from hundreds and they might just take it seriously enough to see where there systems could be improved.

  • freeITstafford
    Free I.T. Stafford (@freeITstafford) reported

    @irons1de1 @JamieGBarry @virginmedia The crunch came for me when I was almost a week without service, ultimately transpiring that an engineer error had caused an attenuator to be fitted to my cable instead of my neighbour's. That spelled the end of co-ax in my life.
