    @virginmedia Came back on early hours this morning but it's been awful for a while, same as the rest of my family I'll be leaving without a cancellation fee tomorrow

    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.

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

    Dave Gracey (@lamsom) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia There’s absolutely nothing wrong with the phone, I can travel to different areas and get 4 bars on my phone and it works no problem, the problem is in the area I live.The reception always used to be fine but for quite some time now it’s been awful, I currently have one bar.

    @virginmedia still no broadband in bb3 area since Thurs & update now says tomorrow for fix. Shocking customer service, why can't you tell your customers what is happening instead of saying an engineer is on the way on the updates, at least then we would know what to expect

  • 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.

    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

    Tariq Mahmood (@mrtariqmahmood) reported from Burnley, England

    @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.

    @virginmedia Yes I’ve done all that. There was an issue in the post code but it says it’s sorted now, but it’s not. Still nothing at all!

  • dwb89
    Danny Bolton (@dwb89) reported from Altham, England

    Yet again @virginmedia having technical problem on the payment line what a joke this company has become 14 years with them think it’s time to change. And still no word on bill reduction after the down time last week

    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

    @virginmedia I have Netflix as part of my deal. I’ve been told 4 times that an email will be with me in 24 hours. Still no email after 8 days. Everyone promised but no delivery’s. This seems to be a regular issue.

    @virginmedia Absolutely appalled at the incompetent awful level of service. Over 3 hours on live chat trying to sort out my 96 year old grandmother contract as you are trying to charge her an obscene amount of money and I am no further forward.

    @virginmedia had a guy phoning from a mobile number 07740338310, claiming to be from Virgin Media. I just hung up. As I have never had anyone from you guys phoning me from a mobile number ever!!

    Roger Green (@RogerGreen2009) reported

    @entrustTMF @virginmedia I got a ‘3’5g router that pulls down the 5g signal, it was as fast as my Virgin Media 200+gbps and more reliable. £25/month. If you’ve no 5g coverage starlink is offering £35 a month.

    @DenniGlaves @pokemondealsuk This is 100% the issue. Ive tested it. I recently switched WiFi providers from Virgin Media to Grain Connect which is 1 of the newer FTTP providers that have been rolling out true fibre across the UK. Now im getting this message everytime.
