    @virginmedia Hi, I’m trying to raise a complaint online but I’m not receiving any acknowledgment. Is there another way I can raise my complaint? Thanks

    @virginmedia can you confirm if there’s active engineer trying to rectify the service outage Manchester (M30). Widespread issues reported according to your service outage on website ?

    @virginmedia you have caused me nothing but hassle for months now. Your customer service team are completely useless.

    @virginmedia No it’s not, and it has now transpired that your customer services agent told me a direct lie that there was a fault in my area when there is not. Someone else has now booked an engineer to come out - next Wednesday. I can’t even have my heating on as that’s controlled vía wifi

  • 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

  • rachaelstafford
    Rachael Stafford (@rachaelstafford) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia shocking service from you today, I booked an engineer visit for my mum supposed to come today between 12-4 nobody came she’s since called and been told it was a phone call not a visit but still nobody had called. She’s now got to wait till Tuesday for a visit 😠

  • CallyRaven
    Carol Rowles (@CallyRaven) reported from Westhoughton, England

    @virginmedia And our Internet is down again this morning! So because its intermittent we don't get compensation, tried to call, can't get through (have to do it on mobile, our 'landline' is now internet reliant!)

  • ErHes1997
    Emily (@ErHes1997) reported from Timperley, England

    How can @virginmedia say "yes there's a problem in your area, we expect it to be fixed on Wednesday"... 5 days is a joke when you'll never see that money returned to you for lack of service provided

  • Hasbullins
    Hazbullins (@Hasbullins) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia New call of duty released today and your Internet service is down. Are you taking the full piss out of me here? Wankers

  • _AdamGardiner
    Adam Gardiner 💙 (@_AdamGardiner) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia You’re not understanding. I do contact when the issue is happening, your advisor then fixes it, but it then happens again within 24 hours. I need a ‘once and for all’ fix. Not this whack a mole approach you’ve had so far.

  • duckyblog
    Ducky 🇺🇦 🎃 👻 (@duckyblog) reported from Tyldesley, England

    @virginmedia Issues with all VM services in my area says expected fix by 4:40pm today.

  • JoshuaBurns
    Josh B (@JoshuaBurns) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Yes, tried last night and your service status page was actually down. Today I checked and it showed no issues, I run the diagnostic and no issues either. Came back up late this afternoon.

    @beverleyturner @virginmedia Virgin Media had gone ****. Poor broadband, crappie TV channels and half don't even work.

  • MCR_ADM
    Adam🍺 (@MCR_ADM) reported from Stockport, England

    Been on a live chat to Virgin Media since 9:30. WFH joys. Not much work has been done. But got my bill down. #CozzieLivs.

  • GoaterBilly
    Billy Goater (@GoaterBilly) reported from Strines, England

    @virginmedia well done, after over 10 years with you, Virgin Media have sunk to the their lowest level of service and support ever. Roll on November and the end of my contract. Appalling, ignorant, clueless, almost as bad as BT.

  • mark001282
    Mark Armstrong (@mark001282) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia I spoke to your customer service team on 2nd January who advised all issues had been resolved and my sim card was being sent out by royal mail delivery. Even with any postal delays out of your control it seems odd that it hasn't arrived.

  • Laura_May_Ness
    Laura May (@Laura_May_Ness) reported from Manchester, England

    Hi @virginmedia I have just moved into a new apartment where Wi-Fi is included. I have registered as a resident and I have received a pre-contract email but no account number and I am unable to connect to the Internet. Can you help me set things up?

  • twiddlemeister
    Definitely not Elon Musk (@twiddlemeister) reported from Cheadle Hulme, England

    Probably consider an unlimited tariff at some point to make up for when Virgin Media goes down.

    Is the WiFi down for anyone else in the #OL9 area? #Oldham #VirginMedia

    Paul THORNE (@harrewis) reported

    @virginmedia brilliant…received new 360 remotes. Zero instructions in box so have to find instructions online. Cannot connect remote to tv after MANY attempts. No way of getting help! Why no clear instructions in the box on how to pair??!!

  • Gary1165
    salmo (@Gary1165) reported

    @virginmedia @El_Lloydie I would just cancel as they are failing in there contractural obligations

  • RorschachSlays
    Rorschach Slays🇸🇮🇪🇺🇬🇧 (@RorschachSlays) reported

    @misselledee @virginmedia This is normal. My friend has been on a broken line for weeks now. Engineers came out 3 times. His internet is still worse than his mobile internet. Virgin is saying everything is ok. Engineers barely know much more than: Let's reboot your router. Get out. Get City Fibre.

  • iadnan9
    Addy (@iadnan9) reported

    @roisinecarr @virginmedia @virginmedia Reported an issue 2 months ago and only just received a response. The advice given was unhelpful, careless, and frankly unprofessional. The issue is still ongoing with Now being told it could take another 28 days for a follow-up. Completely unacceptable and a waste

  • BeccaJane182124
    Becca Jane (@BeccaJane182124) reported

    @virginmedia not impressed with customer service! As a loyal customer for over 5 years I was looking to upgrade to the sports package with Netflix and WiFi. I was refused the £52.99 deal as that is “only for new customers”. I was told I would need to pay £130 for the same deal!

  • Matt247821
    Matty Smithy♿️🇬🇧🇪🇺 (@Matt247821) reported

    @Jenny_1884 It’s pants, not as good as fibre and expensive as you have to purchase the equipment. The latency sucks. Alright for basic browsing but not gaming or high quality streaming. Virgin media is cheaper and faster

  • janeamanda67
    Jane Samuels (@janeamanda67) reported

    @virginmedia I have already done that multiple times and there is an issue in my area, which was confirmed by customer services, but taking 10 days to rectify it is not acceptable

  • motherpeacher
    dragons are cool (@motherpeacher) reported

    @virginmedia why is ur customer service so bad, I've been on the line for an hour and nobody bothers to answer, typical really, u take our money and provide terrible service!!!

    @sharonmariahall @virginmedia I rarely have any issues with the service and pay a good price on my current contract

    @virginmedia Nah, this is not on. What is this UK side internet issues going on the past few weeks. What is the estimated turn around on a full resolution?
