  • ThatGirlKatie80 Katie Mallon (@ThatGirlKatie80) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia expect a call from me tomorrow cancelling my service. Third time this week now with the same Network Availability error. Right in the middle of a film. Tired of rebooting. Bye #virginmedia, hello #SKY 👋

  • salfordbeerfest Independent Salford Beer Festival 💙 (@salfordbeerfest) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia I was told that if I have 3 technical issues in 30 DAYS that I could leave without penalty. I currently have a 14 day cooling off period. I'll be checking the small print (App N I believe) VERY carefully.

  • ButterscotchDe6 Butterscotch But Christmas ❄ 🏳️‍⚧️ (@ButterscotchDe6) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia stop artificially dropping my bandwidth youre *************** at this point 1 Mbps up and 20 down is not ok

  • LordFoxx75 Si 🦊 🐝🐝 🇮🇪 🏳️‍🌈🇬🇧🇪🇺 (@LordFoxx75) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Broadband and TV down….I need to work at home….sort it out

  • JoeMHirst Joe Hirst (@JoeMHirst) reported from Halifax, England

    Virgin Media have been absolutely terrible since we recently joined them in October. Currently have no internet connectivity to the house and there is (apparently) nothing they can do about it until they send out an engineer. Absolutely won’t be recommending them to anyone.

  • SidMooreManc Moore AccountancySid (@SidMooreManc) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia My app says we are. However I can not click through to how we get service updates

  • carlroach Carl Roach (@carlroach) reported from Middleton, England

    @virginmedia The problem is not my broadband or home service, it is the mobile signal where I work. I can not use the VM app as this requires data to validate the SIM, how else can I contact customer services directly?

  • salfordbeerfest Independent Salford Beer Festival 💙 (@salfordbeerfest) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia You did. At about 6pm. Now it's down again. That's five times in a little over a week. Beyond irritation now. Are you - company - going for some record? Or just reminding me to take my blood pressure meds?

  • ButterscotchDe6 Butterscotch But Christmas ❄ 🏳️‍⚧️ (@ButterscotchDe6) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia It's been gradually going down each month for the last year. To clarify all the devices I've used for tests are wireless however that does not excuse week long drops in the Kb ranges

  • Tiffers1973 Tiffers (@Tiffers1973) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @virginmedia I've wasted over 3 hours trying to cancel this service today and dealt with incompetent staff I have no patience left I have just spent another 25 minutes trying to get through for the line to go dead .....

  • Porter__Face Richard Porter (@Porter__Face) reported from Halifax, England

    Need to renew my broadband do I stick with @Plusnet or go to another provider .. in mind of that they all use @openreach network but @virginmedia I don't play online games

  • johncoxonmedia John E. Coxon (@johncoxonmedia) reported from Salford, England

    @CllrJWarmisham @virginmedia Customer service has gone out the window since they were taken over. Totally complacent and purely profit led. Nightmare trying to get to speak to anyone too.

  • Tiffers1973 Tiffers (@Tiffers1973) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @skytv what packages are you offering that can beat @virginmedia "maxit" package due to them having shocking customer servixe and charging £49.95 for a software update!!

  • MaksymMarcial AdoptiveCuban (@MaksymMarcial) reported from Oldham, England

    @stewart_me @virginmedia I wouldn't bother if I were you. I got through after 90 mins to be told there systems were down till approx 5pm and to ring back then. Hope this helps.

  • carlroach Carl Roach (@carlroach) reported from Middleton, England

    @virginmedia I am fully aware of this webpage, if you follow through any of the options to get information or FAQs, but no way to actually connect with VM directly. I recently used the complaint option but just got a vague response that didn't help me with my concerns.

  • cooper_jackie jackie cooper (@cooper_jackie) reported from Manchester, England

    @lilacjennie @virginmedia Totally agree. Been with them for years and treat customers really bad.they only care about the money. See how they get on when I cancel my direct debit. Bet they will soon be on the phone trying to get payment

  • Tiffers1973 Tiffers (@Tiffers1973) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @virginmedia You asked for the account number and my name...... when they didn't match you didn't ask the question? So I can pay a bill each month make changes etc but not cancel it ..... OK I'm ending this conversation as it is completely pointless and a further waste of my time!!

  • Tiffers1973 Tiffers (@Tiffers1973) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @virginmedia If we had been told at 11am the facts!! We could have avoided hrs on hold and waiting for customer advisors to return from breaks to tell us they also couldn't deal with the issue and cancel the services either!! #virginmedia needs a shake up of customer services

  • DebbieG_EA Debbie Grimshaw 🐝 (@DebbieG_EA) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @virginmedia what is going on in the M34 postcode? Slow internet speeds and unreliable connection for the past three weeks now. Virtually impossible to work from home 🤯

  • carlroach Carl Roach (@carlroach) reported from Middleton, England

    @virginmedia Hopefully. I realise that these things can be complicated and stuff does go wrong. It is the fact that there is no effective way of communicating with you as a customer that upsets me r most. It makes me feel that I am really of no value to you.

  • pieayatollah27 Steve Ellul (@pieayatollah27) reported

    @virginmedia Still not received confirmation of a satisfactory resolution after 9 days. In fact, despite a long call to you so called help centre they’ve been anything but. It’s a relatively easy thing to get right.

  • lhntennis Lee Neale (@lhntennis) reported

    @virginmedia We signed a new contract with you on 24th July 2022 and in the contract it stated we have a minimum period.of 18 months and if we cancel before 23/01/2024 we have to pay an early disconnection fee. We have not had one day in over a month where we have been able to use broadband

  • nasherxxx ❥ Ellese (@nasherxxx) reported

    @virginmedia It says no connection, connect to a network. Either through Ethernet or Wi-Fi? I enter the only details I have through Wi-Fi and it don’t work. Not sure if I’m supposed to get a new Wi-Fi password?

  • stevederrick69 steve derrick (@stevederrick69) reported

    @virginmedia your volt package is a waste of time your advisor just tried to get me to sign up for a bundle £20 more per month just so I can get the FREE speed boost I was promised because I am a customer of virgin & o2 #NOTHAPPY

  • PecsMark Marco Peccianti (@PecsMark) reported

    After other 20 minutes of waiting the line went down and i called the 080000520640 just to discover that the office is no longer working. This is quite is quite a disservice. I want to close my virgin media contract. Thanks

  • malcailles malcolm ailles (@malcailles) reported

    @virginhelp @virginmedia Just spent twenty minutes talking to someone on “Virgin Technical Support “ who hadn’t got a clue about anything. The power cable to the transformer for my Virgin hub has melted and only sheer luck prevented it setting light to the house.

  • MxAshleighLoeb Ashleigh Loeb💖💜💙🏳️‍🌈 (@MxAshleighLoeb) reported

    @SahraRaeTaylor @virginmedia I got them down to £24 because I won’t stay if I’m paying more than I can get elsewhere.

  • LeoG_89 Leo G (@LeoG_89) reported

    @virginmedia Yep! Done the BOT thing 3xs and called. Still on hold! I’ll just ring back and cancel. Thanks for trying!

  • malcailles malcolm ailles (@malcailles) reported

    @virginhelp @virginmedia To add to matters my virgin house phone is not working either. So much for the recent increase in monthly charges to cover improvement to services.

  • SRefusenik Upright Sapien (@SRefusenik) reported

    @virginmedia You were doing work in my area yesterday (NG16) from 10-4pm. It’s now 8:42am and the service is still pants! WiFi is back, but pathetic. TV is back, but pathetic! What am I paying £150 a month for?
