  • simon_bell86 Simon Bell (@simon_bell86) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Hi, done a few tests and reset router etc and it’s still the same. Speed drops on Ethernet and wireless. It’s very intermittent though. It can be fine for a couple of hours and then have a few minutes of really slow speeds.

  • MikeM0309 Mike Astro Mckenna (@MikeM0309) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia Still the same. Can't sign in on your website.

  • ajayparekh68 Ajay Parekh (@ajayparekh68) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @virginmedia absolutely appalling service, 39min and counting trying to close an account I haven’t used for three months, on hold for 11min now.

  • MikeM0309 Mike Astro Mckenna (@MikeM0309) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia For days now I have been trying to sign in to my account to no avail, so let me say if you have not sorted this problem soon then I will NOT be paying you, I will NOT be contacting you and I will NOT be answering any calls from you. I'm sick and tired of this SHIT.

  • Jenniepenny30 Jennie Roach (@Jenniepenny30) reported from Stockport, England

    Another awful encounter with @virginmedia on the phone this evening and still none the wiser about my outstanding refund!

  • ImLauraa Laura Donnellan (@ImLauraa) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia Well we don’t have a tracking number and we haven’t heard anything back since we returned the faulty phone. We also tried the text messaging service but also takes ages to get a reply.

  • Jenniepenny30 Jennie Roach (@Jenniepenny30) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia No, a complaint has been made

  • Aftab147 Aftab (@Aftab147) reported from Rochdale, England

    @virginmedia Hi do we have a service issue at my postcode OL16 2JJ. Had issues on Tuesday as well.

  • sjmcnulty1981 stacey mcnulty (@sjmcnulty1981) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @virginmedia been a customer for 2 hrs and already rang up twice complaining. Was told I would get movies free for 3 months, I have the email confirming it yet customer service are saying they have no such email and I’m not entitled to it.currently on the phone to them #nothappy

  • simon_bell86 Simon Bell (@simon_bell86) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Yes I’ve done that several times and there’s never any known issues

  • MrStephenHowson Stephen Howson 🇾🇪 (@MrStephenHowson) reported from Glossop, England

    Seen as our internet is STILL not working in the office and @virginmedia only help residential problems. It’s time to leave their shitty internet behind. Try @TelcomUK

  • RubbermanPaul Paul Barton (@RubbermanPaul) reported from Rochdale, England

    @virginmedia well come home from working away on Friday with a lot of emails to reply to. To discover my router is broken wife phoned up Friday afternoon customer service said they would send one out by Monday shocking service I’m out of contract so will look elsewhere 😡😡😡

  • LeanintoDesign John Grimshaw (@LeanintoDesign) reported from Oldham, England

    @RischDesigns @fittdr @virginmedia @Plusnet @NOWTV @emmerdale @LoveIsland @ASBO_Allstar I'm on 350 which is great but the router let's it down, the old superhub2 had much better firmware and an easier UI.

  • Jenniepenny30 Jennie Roach (@Jenniepenny30) reported from Stockport, England

    @TaraqMahmood @virginmedia Very true, they r awful hence why I left them and now they are holding my refund without any cause 😤

  • jameze1992 James Marshall (@jameze1992) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia Just finished a phone call. No engineer until tomorrow which leaves my vulnerable mum without a phone. Completely unacceptable service. Spoke to a manager who wouldn't allow me to take this further.

  • MikeM0309 Mike Astro Mckenna (@MikeM0309) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia No they wont.... I was on hold for over 3o minutes before someone answered and when he did he said he'd give me a default Password and then he hung up.... wtf. Your customer service and service full stop is an absolute joke!

  • pedal_pushin_ed Ed (@pedal_pushin_ed) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia not working - again. 2nd night in a row. Good job it doesn’t cost a small fortune a month or anything. #shite

  • MrKarlEdgar Karl (@MrKarlEdgar) reported from Stockport, England

  • capngastro literal fruit (@capngastro) reported

    swear virgin media internet is literally just richard branson shouting 1s and 0s down a phone line

  • fionaoraw Fiona O'Raw (@fionaoraw) reported

    @virginmedia I have tried everything to log in and am getting nowhere, it’s asking for an area code that is not on my email bill - it’s so frustrating to even log in never mind get an issue resolved

  • Violetilla Violeta (@Violetilla) reported

    @virginmedia This complaint was filled on the phone and the person who opened it for me said you'd be in contact the following working day, which clearly hasn't happened. I don't know what the next step is.

  • avaeys Avaeys Khan (@avaeys) reported

    @virginmedia My internet is intermittent. They are aged an engineer to come on Saturday. He didn’t show up. I only found out when I called up myself. I asked for a manager call back to log my complaint and my loss of service. Nobody has called me back.

  • LucasDuffy93 Lucas Duffy (@LucasDuffy93) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, can you provide a number to speak to complaints in the UK? My complaint was closed when noone contacted me 10 minutes after asking for a complaint to be raised. Called on Thursday to the tech team and was offered a call back on Friday but noone called.

  • davidwicraig David Craig (@davidwicraig) reported

    @leeharry100 @virginmedia Not bad for Virgin - the worse customer service I have ever experienced, having tried to upgrade my service then promises broken over and over again - engineers don't show up, terrible call centres shame on @virginmedia

  • DaxJaryx Dax (@DaxJaryx) reported

    @virginmedia Why are you offloading us onto a public chat forum when we should be getting professional service provider help direct from you? This is sub STD and does a lot to verify others' opinions that VM have the worst CS. & this is how u perform to a prospective customer! #Cancel

  • PhilCampbell_ Phil Campbell (@PhilCampbell_) reported

    @virginmedia My lack of Internet in my office which is like 5m away and so never being able to work from home due to video calls being impossible as they constantly drop.

  • tonyealham Tony Ealham (@tonyealham) reported

    @virginmedia It’s TiVo, it would be lot better if you looked at my account details and look at the notes and you will see all the problems I’ve had and then you will see it’s totally unfair you charging me early disconnecting charges

  • Kay19683 Kay1968 (@Kay19683) reported

    @virginmedia No time given. The Internet is dropping in and out. My husband has had to go into office to work. This issue has been going on for weeks but today its totally unreliable.
