  • scottburnley scott mitchell (@scottburnley) reported from Colne, England

    @virginmedia can someone please get in touch with me has your broadband after 7pm is absolutely crap and I've totally had enough of it now

  • 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

  • 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.

  • xNasminx Nasmin Shabir ♡ (@xNasminx) reported from Keighley, England

    @virginmedia Yes I always use the service status tool... But still signal is constantly dropping, which results in resetting the router . Not happy to say we pay £45 a month for just broadband alone and can hardly get online most of the time... It's frustrating

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

    @virginmedia you’ve sent me an outrageous bill with £35 in charges that you said you were waiving. Non of your call centres are open (undertandably) I cant get text support & there’s no other help available. You are going to bill me £120 for a £50 service and I can stop you.

  • MATTYB00SH 𝕄𝔸𝕋𝕋𝕐𝔹𝕆𝕆𝕊ℍ (@MATTYB00SH) reported from Burnley, England

    Switching broadband providers from Virgin Media to Sky is proving to be such a bad decision while trying to work from home these last 5 weeks. Multiple connection drops every morning. It's a poor situation when tethering to your phone data is far more reliable. @SkyHelpTeam

  • 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

  • Logical1966 Aaron (@Logical1966) reported from Keighley, England

    @virginmedia @virginmedia sorry this was for your service provider @YodelOnline not you

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Logical1966 Aaron (@Logical1966) reported from Keighley, England

    @virginmedia what the hell is the point of not having a team available for broadband faults but you can send a link to log on to your website- I can’t access your website because I my bloody broadband isn’t working are you stupid or something 🤬🤬🤬

  • NickyRobbo80 Nicky (@NickyRobbo80) reported from Blackburn, England

    If 2020 was an Internet provider it would be @virginmedia Solve the problem of losing IP address by restarting router. It was restarting the router that caused it. Restarted anyway and now the router won't connect to the Internet and all devices say no IP address #stressed

  • subz_1 𝑺𝒖𝒃𝒉𝒂𝒏 🇵🇸 ⏱ (@subz_1) reported from Accrington, England

    At this point I don’t know whether my snapchat is down or my WiFi is aids #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.

  • jodavidson65 Jo D #KaftrioNow (@jodavidson65) reported from Nelson, England

    @virginmedia very poor of you

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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! 😤

  • FunnyTrickster Vincent Brindle 🔶🌍🇪🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@FunnyTrickster) reported from Burnley, England

    @jmtb18 @virginmedia @Virgin_Victoria Issues in Burnley too. It's been up and down like a yoyo. TV box light keeps flashing too.

  • HolGaffneyx Hol (@HolGaffneyx) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia Still nothing, we were told 24 hours and they would call but still no call, wondering if you can tell me how long this will take? Cause I'll cancel and go elsewhere

    Virgin media yet again showing us why they’re the worst provider on planet earth

  • stroppe_o RvS (@stroppe_o) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve been checking service status every day as WiFi is constantly going down and it always shows a broadband fault in the local area. Engineers have been booked but you keep cancelling them.

  • _RH94 Ryan Harris (@_RH94) reported

    @virginmedia why have you cancelled my Netflix subscription twice now when I’m paying for it as part of my ultimate package? I haven’t received an activation email in 5 weeks as a new customer either despite contacting you multiple times.

  • StephenSuthes Stephen (@StephenSuthes) reported

    @derek_christie @virginmedia Absolutely not. Even if I wanted what they were offering at that point, their pitch and sales tactics were so poor I'd have abstained out of spite.

  • ilimpwalk ilimpwalk (@ilimpwalk) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, Internet is still down in. Its been down since yesterday 10:00pm

  • mellypeters Melly P (@mellypeters) reported

    Shocked to find out that my terminally ill friend has been over paying on her broadband for 3 years! words directory from customer services mouth - not everyone is able to pick the phone up and negotiate better deals you need to look after your customers better @virginmedia

  • LeanintoDesign John Grimshaw (@LeanintoDesign) reported

    @virginmedia I'll stick with the Google nest mesh thanks we already had a couple because of the bad coverage it doesn't make sense to switch now. One system to rule them all and all that. 👍

  • edcrick Ed Crick (@edcrick) reported

    @virginmedia Please do. Why packing hard working English as second language speakers into a crowded noisy call centre using digital phone systems you put them and your customers in a terrible position where all lose out and stress is high. Not good.

  • yatin_suvagiya Yatin (@yatin_suvagiya) reported

    @virginmedia I have to pay bills but no internet service I can expect from the Virgin on top up them , I have to pay EDF ? Amazing surprise!!!!!!!!! Super customer care.......

  • AllyMunira Munira Ali (@AllyMunira) reported

    @virginmedia Are you providing any solution? There is no internet from virgin in our area. Customer care in call is not helpful at all. Engineer after 1 week🤯 when the problem is from your side
