  • brownhill76 Neil Brownhill (@brownhill76) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia officially the WORST service and your customer service is horrendous!! Best alternative tv/broadband services??

  • DavidWildJnr David (@DavidWildJnr) reported from Milnrow, England

    @virginmedia This is not a fix, this is the ‘fob off’ you have been giving customers for the last 48 hours. This is an a forum and not visible immediately. DO BETTER.

  • Phil_Donoghue1 Phil Donoghue (@Phil_Donoghue1) reported from Leigh, England

    @virginmedia Shameful… latest update, we hope to resolve the issue by 4pm tomorrow! That’ll be over 24 hours down and you’ll still expect your money! Awesome service 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

  • brownhill76 Neil Brownhill (@brownhill76) reported from Sale, England

    Anyone else having issues with @virginmedia ? Last night and this morning still not working

  • CurryInTurry DJ Nerja (@CurryInTurry) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @virginmedia This will be the case. Please can you confirm this is the true reason as I need in writing so I can put a complaint in? Regards

  • AndyT___ Andy Thompson (@AndyT___) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia Your extremely bad service. Who can I speak to please? I was on to your customer service team fro 2 hours yesterday and no one seems to know what they’re doing. Someone was supposed to call me back at 10am this morning but that’s not happened either. Whole thing is a car crash.

  • sallyshaw5 Sally Shaw 🐝🐝 (@sallyshaw5) reported from Stockport, England

    Hey @virginmedia got a problem! My @virginmedia.com email address won’t work & I can’t get into my mobile account because you’ve sent an email to, yes, the non functioning account! Help please!

  • CurryInTurry DJ Nerja (@CurryInTurry) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia I did that. Got written reply yesterday. Absolutely disgrace. It's like you never read my complaint. Told me to ring you to sort it. I want to find out who lied to me about getting 5g

  • missdepotts Danielle (@missdepotts) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @virginmedia Nope - I’ve reset, moved the modem, moved the consoles, rang your customer service team - who quite frankly, didnt want to know and advised we bought a booster, for the router thats in the SAME ROOM AS OUR CONSOLES. Furious.

  • brownhill76 Neil Brownhill (@brownhill76) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia I have tv service fault C133. Done your online check it says call you. I call you, automated tells me an texts me link to do online check which tells me to call you.. repeat.. in a loop an now been sat on phone waiting 38mins for someone to answe

  • MatthewApps2 Matthew Apps (@MatthewApps2) reported from Salford, England

    @v @virginmedia Internet issue has been open since August and it’s been a comedy of errors. Several engineers have been round each setting off a chain of farcical call-outs. Clowns! Each time I get sent a survey that is designed to get the feedback they want. Not good enough!

  • brownhill76 Neil Brownhill (@brownhill76) reported from Sale, England

    @AsSowter @virginmedia I said that to them , I want rebate for days without but falls on deaf ears , just gonna cancel with these as they still haven’t replied to me. @virginmedia

  • DavidWildJnr David (@DavidWildJnr) reported from Milnrow, England

    @virginmedia Why does you web page report ‘No Known Issues’ ? when obviously you have a massive issue with your email servers.

  • iamnickjh Nick (@iamnickjh) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia hi I never officially confirmed that I wanted my account closing but you're contacting me to collect my router. Please advise.

  • Phil_Donoghue1 Phil Donoghue (@Phil_Donoghue1) reported from Leigh, England

    @virginmedia you literally must be THE most unreliable failing ISP in all the land… Yet another outage which you laughably call “improving our network” and you’ve never provided even half the speed we pay for. About time OFCOM held this company to book!

  • missdepotts Danielle (@missdepotts) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @virginmedia Believe me - we’ve spent £30 ethernet cables and it didnt work. We have a engineer coming out on monday so been told to mention it the mess thats been made on the wall. Could it be a problem with the new locator?

  • brownhill76 Neil Brownhill (@brownhill76) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia Hi @virginmedia can you get someone to contact me as your customer service phone line has now hung up on me after over an hour because they couldn’t be bothered to help or fix my issue #virginmedia #customerexperience

  • 19865b #GlazersOut (@19865b) reported from Manchester, England

    @zeeshanqamar262 @virginmedia ******* **** them.. leave them lol, did nothing for me until I handed my notice

  • euanah Euan Henderson (@euanah) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia no rf signal in my hub 4 all of a sudden last night and no engineer until Tuesday ! Not great and massively inconvenient working from home on Monday with no WiFi

  • steviehalliwell stephen halliwell (@steviehalliwell) reported

    @virginmedia Just received an outbound call to discuss my broadband quality. She then asked me to confirm some personal details to identify me but when I said that I was loathed to do so on an outbound call she hung up. Funny phone call or bad customer service? 🤔

  • Nemean90 Tab Nazir (@Nemean90) reported

    @virginmedia What does as soon as possible mean here and how do you keep missing deadlines that you yourself set? It's been over 2 months now and still, nobody has bothered to try to resolve this. Worst customer service ever.

  • Samanth82113398 Samantha (@Samanth82113398) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Hi can someone help me I'm trying to log in to my account but keeps saying there's a problem at your end

  • Gerald_Padigos Gerry (@Gerald_Padigos) reported

    @virginmedia why is it so difficult to end/ terminate a service wth you guys! My mum tried to end the service and been told 23rd feb was the end. Yet you guys still charging her bills. Ive phoned many times but gotten no help. No records was in the system?? This is harrasment now

  • Sly1036 Sly (@Sly1036) reported

    @virginmedia Hello, all connections have been triple checked. Please can we follow the next steps to get the issue resolved. Thanks @KeithSylvester5

  • boggybrush John Pegg (@boggybrush) reported

    @virginmedia Unfortunately this number is for your new build scheme team, and they weren't able to help. Is there a contact number for the team responsible for installing Virgin network infrastructure on existing housing estates?

  • sullivandeej Deej Sullivan (@sullivandeej) reported from Plymouth, England

    You never truly know how awful a company is until you try to cancel your services with them and let me tell you @virginmedia are the ******* worst.

  • FemaleGamer_ D (@FemaleGamer_) reported

    @virginmedia There is 1000% issues in my area every link says there is not & yet when I’ve called I’m told there is and yes the white light is on then it’s off after about an hour then it’s ok again. Your automatic system is telling me there’s an issue so is customer service

  • FemaleGamer_ D (@FemaleGamer_) reported

    @virginmedia TF7 4af over 50 houses have no internet or it keeps switching off. Think customers have a right to know what’s happened for it to be taking this long to fix. Issues since Friday and told next money will be sorted when most households run off internet and work from home!

  • andimccaig andi (@andimccaig) reported

    @virginmedia my Internet keeps stopping working today? Is there problems or?
