  • HollowayAlec Alec Holloway (@HollowayAlec) reported from Stretford, England

    @virginmedia is unbelievable that our Internet is so poor, trying to contact someone via phone on numerous occasions waiting for over 45 minutes to speak with someone. Still haven't been able to get through to anyone.

  • Rayzor74 Ray Morgan. NHS💙🇺🇦 (@Rayzor74) reported from Stockport, England

    Good start to the day with @virginmedia informing me my monthly bill is increasing by £15/month and I have until the 17th of April to decide on my options. That is £180 annually. Having been firstly a Nynex customer and a Virgin customer since the takeover think it may be time

  • tonyj01 Tony Jacobs (@tonyj01) reported from Manchester, England

  • gbmcfc GLENN (@gbmcfc) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Well you find I'm cancelling my contract with yourselves, hope you go bust, your customer service team is a shambolic embarrasment. Loyalty works both ways.

  • thechilledpanda Mike Chilton (@thechilledpanda) reported from Bramhall, England

    @virginmedia Unbelievable, you've sent me a dongle to connect a landline too the broadband on the 6th , so the phone line isnt going to work, though not much help on 150 as they abruptly cut you off. Website is also down.

    @virginmedia no internet available in Bolton - must be an outage as, although coverage is very poor, it isn’t usually this poor!!

  • Karamonkey1 Weirdly even older fan (@Karamonkey1) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia And the sum total of welcome texts I received during my 7 night stay in Jamaica was 189. I never moved from the same hotel. I often got 4-8 texts whilst sat at the same restaurant table or in my room. @virginmedia get your act together

  • Aldehulme David (@Aldehulme) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia I need to speak to somebody regarding a broadband problem without you running a check that will cut me off the internet. How do I get past this to speak to a person?

  • Bircroft one-day (@Bircroft) reported

    @virginmedia hi I’ve been expecting a parcel from you on Saturday, it’s now Wednesday and nothing, can’t be arsed to spend hours on phone to try and sort out, can you help ???

  • altiar0101 Muffy_smol (@altiar0101) reported

    @virginmedia The estimated fix time is 9pm when it went down at 12, we pay a lot of money for your service but then we have outages for a whole day. It’s ridiculous.

  • SylvOConnell Sylvia O'Connell (@SylvOConnell) reported

    @virginmedia Apparently 9pm- which doesn’t help if you work from home & prior to a long bank holiday weekend. It’s a long time to fix - from 10.20 this morning

  • _megcase Meg (@_megcase) reported

    @virginmedia I managed to cancel my contract. You guys mucked up my install and now I have no internet for weeks when I work from home full time.

  • bendo34 Bnebd (@bendo34) reported

    @virginmedia We were told that we would have internet by 6pm today. So far the vans that turned up to fix it have stood around joking and then just driven off. Explain???

  • Jessroy93 Jess Roycroft (@Jessroy93) reported

    @virginmedia Hi the service checker hasn’t changed, it says 16.15, but we still have no internet and the box is continuously flashing green

  • KarenPh17289007 Karen Phillips (@KarenPh17289007) reported

    @virginmedia I don’t need to update my technician visit, I just want assurance a technician will turn up with the right equipment to get whatever the problem is, resolved. The promised call from your customer service manager might do that.

  • AsciAshley ashley (@AsciAshley) reported

    @virginmedia. just payed £98 on a service that doesn't work properly. Been in and out since December. Customer service useless because the automated message tells us there's a problem. Even though service down say there's no issue. Seems to be getting worse instead of better
