    @virginmedia very poor of you

  • lamsom Dave Gracey (@lamsom) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia Your mobile network is crap & your customer service is just as bad.

  • Dazmac1882 Daz Mckavett (@Dazmac1882) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia because you are providing a service that doesn't work, i presume i can leave without a fee

  • gsouthy gsouthy_25 🏆 LIVERPOOL FC 👊🏼 (@gsouthy) reported from Great Harwood, England

    @virginmedia How are things?? Footpath left full of mud. Having to clean footwear off or remove before coming into the house! The whole length of the footpath in front of the houses where your workers have been is a disgrace. Not even rain has washed it clean!! Terrible standard of work! 😤

  • courtsthomasx 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐀𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐚 (@courtsthomasx) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia My Broadband has been down for quite a few days now. I have no received any text updates and would like to speak to somebody with regards to down time and to get an ETA of when it should be back up and running.

  • bazza_bee78 🚩Bazza B 🏴 (@bazza_bee78) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia No mention of any temporary resolutions or any form of compensation for the loss of service

  • ianlumsden Ian Lumsden (@ianlumsden) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia I have been trying to get through to customer service for the past two days, the call is usually immediately rejected or I am told the call waiting time is an hour. I have had enough and as soon as I get through I am cancelling my account. 😡

  • scottboyle6 scott boyle (@scottboyle6) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia the worse customer services ever! Passed to 4 different departments for 15 mins only to be cut off.

  • nevynxxx nevynxxx (@nevynxxx) reported from Rawtenstall, England

    @virginmedia I understand your call centres are suffering, but 2 hours for text chat support and a phone line that 4 menu levels deep hangs up is not good enough. Massively annoyed and time wasted.

  • Sam_yates4 Sam Yates (@Sam_yates4) reported from Old Laund Booth, England

    @neilayates @virginmedia I believe they were the "3rd Party" that also caused the Microsoft 365 outage which killed our session yesterday!

  • mooseandme1 Moose And Me (@mooseandme1) reported from Great Harwood, England

    Cracks me up that the main feature of BT’s internet provision currently being advertised is that it breaks! And you can book a slot to fix it Why not invest your advertising budget in stopping it from breaking? Not to be smug but (touch wood) @virginmedia has never conked out!

  • Shigufta1 Shigufta khan (@Shigufta1) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia Problems with my TV very frustrating not being able to speak to anyone. For a communication provider the service being offered is not acceptable

  • matt_stanny Matthew Stansfield (@matt_stanny) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia @virginhelp any chance you can sort the internet issues in BB11, it’s a nightmare at the moment!

  • matt_stanny Matthew Stansfield (@matt_stanny) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia It says not on there but when I call the support number there is a recorded message saying there is an issue and engineers are working on it.....been same all week.

  • SmartCoffeeOff1 Dave R (@SmartCoffeeOff1) reported from Blackburn, England

    What do a pay for, I'm trying to watch football on now TV and losing Internet all the time, pay for a top package and **** service, @Virgin #internet #virginmedia #broadband

  • Dazmac1882 Daz Mckavett (@Dazmac1882) reported from Burnley, England

    You've out done yourselves today @virginmedia It's usually poor but your broadband today has been on a completely different level of poor

  • cheftonymulgrew Tony Mulgrew (@cheftonymulgrew) reported from Ripponden, England

    @SheilaDillon @virginmedia Vodafone not much better waited 6 weeks to have my issue sorted. Only interested in profit not the customers

  • SophieClaireB Sophia Benvenuto (@SophieClaireB) reported

    @virginmedia your costumer service advisors keep on disconnecting chats and hang up phone calls all day to get their numbers up, can’t even make a complaint online because the link brings you to a non-existing page! Absolute scammers!!

  • jasonsmith119 Jason Smith (@jasonsmith119) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, I'm on 500mbps package in WD3. Speeds have been all over the place since the beginning of the year. Speed test earlier 116mbps! There must be network issues in the area but never anything on the status page.

  • NeilParkes13 Neil Parkes (@NeilParkes13) reported

    @virginmedia Restarted the box/router/everything 3 or 4 times now, still saying "There is a problem with the signal."

  • Rosemar59934389 Rosemary (@Rosemar59934389) reported

    @JennaBoydUK @virginmedia We’re still waiting for an acknowledgment of a complaint we logged weeks ago. That was after spending most of the day on the phone to them either getting shoved from one to another or getting cut off! 🤬

  • OwenRhLlewellyn Owen Llewellyn (@OwenRhLlewellyn) reported

    @virginmedia my poor partner has been sent on a merry go round trying to cancel Virgin after they’ve hiked up their prices. Past on 3 times with an average of on hour on each call 😤😤 #poorservice#annoying

  • DJ_Jamesie Jamesie (@DJ_Jamesie) reported
