  • tiny_mischief Shaunna (@tiny_mischief) reported from Risley, England

    @virginmedia Nothing so far but our WiFi went down not so long ago, you upgrade us. Our box never turned up then there was a problem in the area (forever reoccurring) which wouldn’t be fixed for several days. Not good when you run a business from home

  • CllrMichaelHaw Councillor Michael Haw (@CllrMichaelHaw) reported from Eccleston, England

    @stevehhh Virgin media is accessible, the problem has been reliability. A number of residents on those roads listed have had severe issues with the service & from experience BT Broadband is the more reliable. For example, in Eccleston Park residents now have access to Virgin & BT... [cont]

  • GeoffParkinson6 Geoff Parkinson (@GeoffParkinson6) reported from Tyldesley, England

    @davetherave103 @JusticeCraig @virginmedia It’s bad customer relations that’s seeing customer leave for Sky to many outrages on virgin

  • Dave_mona David Monaghan (@Dave_mona) reported from Walkden, England

    So after being told by the customer service guy at @virginmedia I would receive a free PS4 I have had to make a complaint only find out I was put on the incorrect contract that didn’t include a PS4. 😡@richardbranson i should of stayed with @SkyUK

  • aish_a_ aisha (@aish_a_) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia I’m also sick of calling this number being told to press 1 then 2, when I get past 1 it asks for the account number no option to speak to a real person can I just get the phone number to speak to a real person who will help me

  • CllrMichaelHaw Councillor Michael Haw (@CllrMichaelHaw) reported from Eccleston, England

    @stevehhh so if there are issues with Virgin Media they can easily switch to BT. If BT High Speed Fibre Optic broadband can be secured sooner, rather than later, those residents who are experiencing issues with Virgin Media can switch/be able to access the High Speed Fibre Optic service.

  • withloveanax Ana Stewart (@withloveanax) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia A complaint has been logged but I still have not received a call from a supervisor. I have not been assured what compensation we will be given due to this chaotic mess!!!

  • ChrisPhelps78 Chris Phelps (@ChrisPhelps78) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia 14 year customer M41 area Manchester. New router Monday internet dropping around Tea time (350meg). Engineer yesterday new boosters and I’ve had to buy a ether switch as told it’s my cctv no it’s not. Let’s hear the PR BS I want a proper refund!!! #virginmedia

  • dancross88 Dan Cross (@dancross88) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia Hi. My contract start date was the 26.04.19. I received my contract and link to T&C’s on 27.04.19. Cancelling the charges isn’t a resolution when I am not required to pay them. I shouldn’t have been threatened with them in the first place....if I had not quoted your own T&C’s

  • Gallerixia Rixie | MamaDemonDoggo (@Gallerixia) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia do you know when service will be back up. I have to make important phone calls before 5pm when lines are closed for the evening. I'm also an emergency contact for two children and an elderly relative who is also affected.

  • UBuildmain Jeff Griffiths (@UBuildmain) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia Thanks virgin media for putting my bill up yet agin with out any prior warning. Messaged and still no reply shocking customer service 🤬

  • jjools4bob Jools 4 (@jjools4bob) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia @Rylan No the thought of seeing him makes my blood boil and my ears ache.Yes I am a virgin customer not happy with this shit.

  • amynaylorr AmyNaylor (@amynaylorr) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Hi, my 4G/Phone calls/Texts arent working on my phone even though I have 4 bars of signal, wondering if it's a phone problem or a problem with the virgin network

  • 75jacko Buttery Keith (@75jacko) reported from Runcorn, England

    Superfast broadband you say @virginmedia but no connection for virtually the past 2 days in the WA7 area. Each time a time is set for fix estimate it changes by an hour or even more, last night extended from 11pm to 8am and now saying 10.05am. Not good enough!!!! #shambles

  • dancross88 Dan Cross (@dancross88) reported from Haydock, England

    Absolutely disgusted with the poor customer service and attitude of ‘Stefan’ from @virginmedia - rude, unhelpful and decided to end the call by hanging up instead of following my request to speak to a manager.

  • Manchester_Tart Manchester Tart (@Manchester_Tart) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia get off the internet, I want to use the house phone! #virgin #down

  • ChrisPhelps78 Chris Phelps (@ChrisPhelps78) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia No area problems I am at a lose I’m tech savvy and rather sort myself but if I can’t or your engineers I give up.

  • withloveanax Ana Stewart (@withloveanax) reported from Sale, England

    Imagine @virginmedia fitting your WiFi and the engineer hits a gas pipe. Then @BritishGas arrives to fix the gas pipe and hits a water pipe. Imagine having to chase VM to speak to a supervisor and still 4 days later no call back! Shocking!

  • tiny_mischief Shaunna (@tiny_mischief) reported from Risley, England

    @FreelanceFee @virginmedia Oh don’t get me started on them. Relentless issues. But I’ve learnt if you kick up enough fuss on social media they’ll do anything to shut up you
