  • yogi7592 Yv (@yogi7592) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia it’s sad that you are still using covid as an excuse not to provide any technical help. Done everything your website tells me to but still have a issue with my broadband. How do I speak to someone about it. Not very happy.

  • SteveRiches4 Safetypenfold (@SteveRiches4) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia No. I’m done with text, on line and anything except talking to someone. You’ve had the opportunity using the bot, Twitter and online support, now we need to communicate in person. #realpeople

  • sewychloe Chloë Pritchard (@sewychloe) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia my mum’s landline has a fault - no dialling tone. She’s been on hold but can’t get through to a human to report it. We have both tried to report it via her online account but cannot access it. And yes she has wiggled her sockets! Help!

  • rosstarbard rosstarbard (@rosstarbard) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia internet has been down for the last half hour, no wifi or wired connection. Is there a problem in the Leicester area?

  • tkearins Tony Kearins (@tkearins) reported from Tilton, England

    @virginmedia my 77yo mother waits 40 mins in a phone queue. Explains the account/billing issue. Person puts her on hold for another 45 mins until she hangs up. And this is acceptable?

  • Wee_Linz_ 👸🏻 Queen Wee Linz 👸🏻 (@Wee_Linz_) reported from Corby, England

    @virginmedia Hi, as a family, all 4 of us are having problems with the mobile network. This has been ongoing for a few weeks and despite assurances that the problem is being fixed, it clearly isn't. This is frustrating and we are not getting the service we're paying for.

  • SteveRiches4 Safetypenfold (@SteveRiches4) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia Still not working, still no contact from #virginmedia. If still no contact tomorrow, will have to change supplier in time for Christmas. Can you help?

  • DJacko79 DJ (@DJacko79) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @pescott_gemma @virginmedia @sky **** ive never been on hold that long 😠

  • Dog_in_a_hat Wayne™ (@Dog_in_a_hat) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia I’ve had to call you in the past week 150 & you had to reset the router ... I shouldn’t need to do this! It’s your responsibility to ensure I have the service I pay (a lot) for!!!

  • Jim_Hulbert Jim Hulbert (@Jim_Hulbert) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia experiencing some WiFi issues in Leicester. No Internet despite able to connect to the network. Are there any known issues? Thanks.

  • Super_Sonic2010 Sonia Mathieson (@Super_Sonic2010) reported from Corby, England

    @virginmedia I have no doubt you'll be on it. Been quite some time now. Just wondered if there was an end to issues in sight.

  • rickypaige121 Richard Paige (@rickypaige121) reported from Corby, England

    @virginmedia what the **** is going on in Corby !Your system keeps failing!! Are you going to give us a refund for every day a so called cable uninterrupted system fails ?? Sky is looking much better after the 20th time in 2 years that Virgin has failed !! Not worth recommending

  • ChrisHolton99 Chris Holton (@ChrisHolton99) reported from Leicestershire, England

  • YorkshireTaff YorkshireTaff (@YorkshireTaff) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for the quick reply. No landline. Do you have a geographic number for mobile as I've experienced how long it takes to connect and sort issues via phone before. Or can I give the details via DM?

  • dc89lfc DC (@dc89lfc) reported from Slough, England

    @virginmedia This is absolutely ridiculous, done your tests and its been confirmed there are intermittent issues but your phone/web services keep putting me in loop.

  • Ath3na_G Ath3na 💙 (@Ath3na_G) reported

    @virginmedia So is that it? You seem to be implying it's my fault, while offering no practical help. I think I need to cancel cos I have no idea why I would keep paying £50 pm for this....

  • 1janpiper Jan_L_Piper (@1janpiper) reported

    @virginmedia Your technical help line has apparently done everything, even powering it up their end. This is the 4th day without internet and now my daughters chance at University has been ruined. All because your wifi modem and retention dept insisted I needed to change it. Annoyed!!

  • scooter13uk Scott Phillips (@scooter13uk) reported

    @virginmedia Speed still slow. The check didn't show anything. Hub4

  • Flip02071 Flip0207 (@Flip02071) reported

    @virginmedia I'm sitting in the middle of it and it is off and on like a hookers g string. My @SkyUK broadband might have been terrible but it was reliably terrible

  • dc89lfc DC (@dc89lfc) reported from Slough, England

    @virginmedia When do I get an engineer to sort these intermittent issues? Had issues all week, cut out during work zoom calls with clients. No completely dead. When do i get an engineer round? #badcustomerservice

  • OfficialMIkes miguèl saint (@OfficialMIkes) reported

    @virginmedia needs to sort it out, why am I on 3G wtf

  • nomadpad25 Andy (@nomadpad25) reported

    @virginmedia What's the compensation for no service and do you apply the credit automatically?

  • quigley_mick Mick (@quigley_mick) reported

    @virginmedia this company should be hit with the biggest fine ever heard of for poor customer service on answering calls or emails. Something is needing done it’s beyond a disgrace
