    @virginmedia lnternet very intermittent. Router fault. But you won't send replacement so I am changing to Vodafone. Sick to death of the awful service I get from Virginmedia.

  • djbowers14 D J Bowers (@djbowers14) reported from Great Harwood, England

    Moved from @skytv to @virginmedia after 8 years and being a VIP customer with Sky. Poor service and a huge increase in price. Lost a longstanding customer. Now to try Virgin Media and see how this goes.

  • saeedahmed0 Saeed Uchiha (@saeedahmed0) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia your internet is awful! I’m not paying for a black box that flashes lights. Fix up

  • Salma_abdx Salma Khan (@Salma_abdx) reported from Great Harwood, England

    @virginmedia They have improved but this is a regular issue now. This should be looked into, especially with the prices you charge for the services.

  • ClaretNick Nick (@ClaretNick) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia Local fault and down until approx 3pm. It happens too often and its a nightmare for home workers like me.

  • SharonBradbury Sharon Bradbury (@SharonBradbury) reported from Haworth, England

    @virginmedia you have an exposed wire that goes down the side of my house and across my back garden so you’re able to provide a service to some houses below. I can’t find any written consent from the previous owners of the house. Major work will be starting soon...

  • liquidborn liquidBorn (@liquidborn) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia broadband has just gone down in BB12, I work completely from home so this is extremely frustrating for me. Please help. Router has been restarted twice.

  • SharonBradbury Sharon Bradbury (@SharonBradbury) reported from Haworth, England

    @virginmedia We are a customer but this particular cabling just services the houses below.

  • EmilyMc767 Emily (@EmilyMc767) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia It’s a media account, but it was more about the quality of the call. It’s not the way to treat a customer. Thanks

  • btownofficial_ officialBtown (@btownofficial_) reported from Rawtenstall, England

    @virginmedia why is it taking so long to sort out the fifa issue it’s *************** everyone who are on VM and want to play futchamps why can’t you give us a time scale on when it should be ready @NepentheZ @Itshaber @Marshall89HD

  • ClaretNick Nick (@ClaretNick) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia broadband down AGAIN until 3pm today, means ill be working all evening to make up for not being able to do things today!

  • seanyseanysaeny Flying Officer O’Connor🇬🇧 (@seanyseanysaeny) reported from Silsden, England

    @virginmedia Yes, it’s rubbish. The service you provide is really poor. All you ever get told to do is switch of and reboot. Never works.

  • wesleyjodell Wes Odell (@wesleyjodell) reported from Rawtenstall, England

    @PaddyTheBaddy @virginmedia Agreed. It’s terrible. Il be changing when my contract is up

  • ryanchapmanx RC (@ryanchapmanx) reported from Blackburn, England

    How to waste my time 2019 - @virginmedia sort your customer service out :)

  • jademelia99 Jade (@jademelia99) reported from Cowling, England

    Trying to cancel my @virginmedia contract yet no one will answer the phone or the online chat service. Such bad customer service

  • seanyseanysaeny Flying Officer O’Connor🇬🇧 (@seanyseanysaeny) reported from Silsden, England

    @SkyHelpTeam @SkyUK @virginmedia are quick enough to take your money but not so quick to help out when things go wrong...

  • SamMcCartney Sam McCartney (@SamMcCartney) reported from Rawtenstall, England

    @Craig273 @virginmedia No. I just want to cancel sky sports as for £31.75 a month I don’t get the use out of it. I was lied to saying it would affect my package discount. I already get BT sport for free and if Amazon will be streaming more it’s pointless

  • ryanchapmanx RC (@ryanchapmanx) reported from Blackburn, England

    @geewelchx @virginmedia Mate I was on phone for a hour told them to shove their internet up their ass and going elsewhere Lmao their customer service is shocking so I did it back

  • CEdvardz The Edvardz (@CEdvardz) reported

    @virginmedia You clearly aren’t reading the words! Calling the 0345 number or using the WhatsApp bot is pointless I have used both >8 times to no avail! Like you they can’t help. I will not call them again!! #virginmediaisdodgy

  • cathmorton1979 Cath (@cathmorton1979) reported

    @virginmedia My Mums phone line is completely dead. We have tried switching phones so it is an issue with the line. The postcode is DE21 . Any help that can be given as she is reliant on a telephone line. Kind Regards Cath

  • ClaireSmalley12 Claire Smalley (@ClaireSmalley12) reported

    @virginmedia The issue that this related to was actually resolved… however things have got a hell of a lot worse since! I vowed never to use VM years ago due to poor customer service and I am remembering why!

  • TinyTweetSNC Rachel Barratt (@TinyTweetSNC) reported

    @virginmedia On a wired connection I get anywhere between 300 and 600 download and still between 0.1 and 2 upload. There has been outage after outage according to your technical team but I don’t see how this can continue happening for 2 months and you think it’s alright?!

  • woodymufc88 Craig wood (@woodymufc88) reported

    @virginmedia It’s not showing any issues, but they are intermittent. So it will just drop randomly for 5-45 mins sometimes

  • 8bitnitwit 8bitnitwit (@8bitnitwit) reported

    @virginmedia The problem is still continuing with Telegram, I don't seem to have a problem with any other services. Are you able to check if there's a root cause for the issue or if there is any configuration I need to perform on the VM router? It's on default settings at the moment.

  • NeilNeart Neil Neart (@NeilNeart) reported

    @VirginMediaIE The sound has been stopping on playback of #VirginMedia tv channels for weeks. We have turned it off and on, checking connections, etc. There does not seem to be any problem with live tv. Can you please fix this?
