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

    @virginmedia can someone help me please? I’m about to lose my ****. Never ever known anything like this company. Now telling me lies on WhatsApp. Saying i logged an issue weeks after engineers had already been out to find the fault. Refusing compensation after 4 mths no service.

  • HollowayAlec
    Alec Holloway (@HollowayAlec) reported from Stretford, England

    @virginmedia is unbelievable that our Internet is so poor, trying to contact someone via phone on numerous occasions waiting for over 45 minutes to speak with someone. Still haven't been able to get through to anyone.

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

    @virginmedia Yes, this has been going on now for months. Was just on to your team to cancel, they hung up on me. I’ve never known a more woeful service. They are quick enough to take payment every month for a service I’m not getting.

  • CallyRaven
    Carol Rowles (@CallyRaven) reported from Westhoughton, England

    @virginmedia I seem to be the first one to report them, still saying intermittent problems in my area. Can't get to speak to anyone on phone, I rely on the Internet.

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

    @virginmedia They’ve been today apparently to do the repull and nothing has changed. Still no service. I won’t be paying this month as I’m not paying for nothing.

  • CryptoDan2k
    CryptoDan2k (@CryptoDan2k) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia Done it again, 3 outages in 3 days. Very poor

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

    @virginmedia So I had loss of service but not complete even tho the service I had wasn't enough to even complete a 15 minute online training. Great. Even though you only have cold water, would you still get a bath? Nah don't think you would

  • tuite_liz
    Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia I looked and that says it’s from the day I registered the total loss of service which was yesterday but really it should be from Friday afternoon when I did the online chat. If I DM you can you check?

  • LindzDDub
    Lindz Devine (@LindzDDub) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia I have to say your Internet connection is ridiculous... for months on end, it's been shocking. I'm sick and tired of resetting my hub, I shouldn't be having this issue. Never had so much issue for the years I've had you and now, the past 6 months, I'm paying monies…

  • CryptoDan2k
    CryptoDan2k (@CryptoDan2k) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia Can you cancel my contract?

  • andym1908
    Andrew (@andym1908) reported from Warrington, England

    @skytv @skytv . I am disappointed with your customer service and technical team . They have disconnected my sky viewing card . Why ?. I want rectifyying ASAP . Or shall I just cancel my subscription and go over to virgin media

  • tuite_liz
    Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia Could the problems in the area have caused damage to the equipment? As it was working fine before. Do I get compensation for all this time as the earliest appointment is Friday 14th?

  • Samuel_J_Mc
    Sam (@Samuel_J_Mc) reported from Timperley, England

    @virginmedia customer service is so ****. They just transfer you round to different departments

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

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

  • _AdamGardiner
    Adam Gardiner 💙 (@_AdamGardiner) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia It’s everything connected via Wi-Fi. I don’t have the connect app. I check for service status on your website and it usually says there isn’t an issue, but that doesn’t reflect my service.

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

    @virginmedia No, they just left. Rang your customer service they are now telling me the problem is internal. I’ve had no internet since July, no tv since August. It’s beyond a joke now. 5 visits I’ve had.

  • ZachcloseYT
    zach close YT 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 (@ZachcloseYT) reported from St Helens, England

    You say you care about your customers and if you did you would fix your ******* **** Internet problems that everyone is having and don't even bother replying @virginmedia

  • _AdamGardiner
    Adam Gardiner 💙 (@_AdamGardiner) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia I also don’t need to monitor the quality of my broadband, I already know it’s awful. I don’t understand how that would help.

  • andrewjmcgill
    Andy McGill (@andrewjmcgill) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia I have been without broadband all day, a day after you sent me a letter about price increases, an increase for what, even poorer service!!!!

    @virginmedia your Internet sucks

  • amcgrath1uk
    Asa McGrath (@amcgrath1uk) reported

    Well done @virginmedia . No internet or TV all day. Gone from saying it’s a known problem to saying it’s an issue our end. Nope. Bet the engineer who’s coming Wednesday won’t be needed as it’ll be miraculously fixed by then

  • NJS0580
    NJS (@NJS0580) reported

    @virginmedia Any idea when the broadband issue will be fixed in my area ? Teesside . It’s been slow for a good few weeks . Finally the service status page shows there is an issue ,the estimated fix date keeps changing. My internet is now working intermittently.

  • wayatalkinabeet
    sassy (@wayatalkinabeet) reported

    @virginmedia your internet service is a ******* joke. Outages last week, outages again today. Takes the pure piss what are you lot doing all day?

  • Gregster29
    Greg O'Connell (Two jabs) (@Gregster29) reported

    @virginmedia All I'd like to know is if 2Gb fibre is available for my postcode. The website says yes, Customer service says no. So which is it?

  • joelshepp
    Joel Sheppard (@joelshepp) reported

    @asksupportcreww @virginmedia No I'm not going to follow you or "drop a DM". I'm perfectly willing to have this conversation in the public domain to highlight how shambolic your customer service is.

  • entrustTMF
    entrustTMF (@entrustTMF) reported

    Day EIGHT of my complete broadband outage with @virginmedia 😡 However there IS hope. Today an engineer from them is supposed to be arriving-so trying to be positive What a complete nightmare of an experience this has been, so I'm REALLY hoping this will be the turning point🤞

  • Jools_Orca
    Jools (@Jools_Orca) reported

    @lsrlinda I’m pretty sure many have struggled with very poor English or a similarly strong accent. My neighbour is hard of hearing and swapped Virgin Media for BT due to such struggles.

  • tonemillwall
    Tony dee (@tonemillwall) reported

    @virginmedia sort the Internet connection out please , paying premium rate for a crap service , Internet has been terrible for the last few days

  • rickysmith1965
    Richard Smith (@rickysmith1965) reported

    @ClearlyOptional @virginmedia I have the same date for resolution, that will mean a full week without Internet service or any of the other services I pay for.

  • entrustTMF
    entrustTMF (@entrustTMF) reported

    @karenwi17092279 Sorry to hear that, not good 😔 Yes, we rely on these things more than we realise... I had forgotten the printer, the TV box, my Spotify, heating controller, etc. all use the WiFi and workarounds for all of them need to be fashioned or just abandoned until @virginmedia fix it
