  • Ben_buy_thebook Ben Holmes (@Ben_buy_thebook) reported from Salford, England

    Looks like the WiFi is down. @virginmedia can you confirm?

  • AlisonPilkingt4 Alison Pilkington (@AlisonPilkingt4) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia we have a loss of broadband in the M6 area. No notification but the automated service states it’s an update on the service. If you want to provide good customer service, prior warning would be good. I’m fed up of this. If I can’t work from home, I will lose pay!!!

  • MarkClifford86 Mark Clifford (@MarkClifford86) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia hi, internet has been down for about 20mins now. Flashing green light on router. Run the test on website, turned off and on. Can you help please, as I’m trying to work from home.

  • uk_haj john Hajdar (@uk_haj) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Requested a free booster, which comes in two parts, which duly arrived and I installed them. Then got an envelope telling me to return something, another letter explaining what came later. I am now confused but keeping the boosters. Does that help?

  • champerslass champerslass (@champerslass) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia absolutely unacceptable service!!!! No internet since this afternoon!!!! #ridiculous #movingtosky

  • AussieBen38 BT (@AussieBen38) reported from Stockport, England

    Absolutely abysmal customer service from @virginmedia everyone I speak to hasn’t a clue what they’re talking about! People steer clear if you’re thinking of switching!

  • MsBethTaylor Beth Taylor (@MsBethTaylor) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia Yes it is. Plenty of room. No reason why the signal is poor. My last home was a house and it was fine in that.

  • katarn_a1 David Moores (@katarn_a1) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia I've been trying to get in touch with someone at your customer service all-day with out any joy is there any other way to get in touch

  • DallasCowboysMV Michael Vix (@DallasCowboysMV) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia upgraded my package 3 weeks ago & wished I’d left and gone to sky as originally planned. Service is shocking. Worse speeds than before upgrade. How do I cancel, nobody is answering my calls. Hours spent on hold

  • katarn_a1 David Moores (@katarn_a1) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia @virginhelp I would like some help with my bill

  • forakin Akin Akíntáyọ̀ 🏳️‍🌈 #European (@forakin) reported from Manchester, England

    Obviously, using the @UswitchUK service I should shop for a better than the exorbitant @virginmedia broadband service with phone line that I pay for but never use, after 6 years, they are complacent, I'm unhappy, because the Direct Debits are going in above the rate of inflation.

  • katarn_a1 David Moores (@katarn_a1) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia is there any customer service in your company

  • MsBethTaylor Beth Taylor (@MsBethTaylor) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia Hub is in the living room. No signal in the bedroom which is really close. Been happening for the past 6 months or so. Wasn’t originally the case.

  • MsBethTaylor Beth Taylor (@MsBethTaylor) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I can’t get hold of anyone to talk to on the phone or online about the broadband signal strength in my flat. Can you help?

  • MsBethTaylor Beth Taylor (@MsBethTaylor) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia It’s the same. I live in a small flat and when I go into the bedroom, the signal drops significantly. Surely it should reach the whole flat!

  • LauraR1707 Laura (@LauraR1707) reported from Bury, England

    @virginmedia hello our box attached to our outside wall is broken and won’t close, wires could be exposed and with the weather changing the water could get in. This has been since we moved in, in April

  • OfficialJarvo Simon  (@OfficialJarvo) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @virginmedia hi can some help me? Im after a price on something

  • AdnanHussainuk Adnan Hussain (عدنان حسين) (@AdnanHussainuk) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia You gave me options of which I've already exploited. I really appreciate the reply, but surely the service has to improve.

  • SeeingSpots_ Steph (@SeeingSpots_) reported from Oldham, England

    The internet has gone again. I swear @virginmedia is down more than it's up!. It went at this time on Friday for 30 mins. Today the website shows a fault in the area. ETR 5PM!

  • Gibzen Louis Gibson (@Gibzen) reported from Oldham, England

    The worst thing I’ve ever bought is @virginmedia internet.

  • bradfel Bradley Feller (@bradfel) reported

    @virginmedia No, just that It is a complex fault and they are working on it. I have intermittent service, but my point is that it will get fixed and then next week, it will go again. I don’t understand?

  • mateo19371759 mateo (@mateo19371759) reported

    Hi @virginmedia , moved house and was told our new service would would take 4-6 weeks for maintenance teams needed to do a pre-pull. After many lies and hours and hours waiting on your phone lines I’m now being told I have to wait another 6-8 weeks for a pre-pull and install

  • abj_Jess Jess C. (@abj_Jess) reported

    Yo @virginmedia how can I tell you I’m leaving because of your terrible internet without phoning your terrible help centre? Or should I just stop paying you £56 a month and be done with it?

  • chris_doyle86 Chris Doyle (@chris_doyle86) reported

    @virginmedia we were told that our self installation box was being sent today, cancelled our previous package so they didn't overlap. You text ON THE DAY to say there's an issue with suppliers. Can you not reactivate the previous boxes? Over an hour to speak to someone is a joke.

  • MillerConsole MillerOnConsole (@MillerConsole) reported

    @virginmedia I posted of the forum a week ago, I had someone say they needed me to post my BQM and some other issue but had nothing back since

  • finklepepper Finklepepper (@finklepepper) reported

    @LSanders_Music @virginmedia We came soooo close to changing provider last month. I've been with Virgin (Blueyonder before them) for 30 years but the service dropouts are getting too frequent. We signed a new contract because of the TV and wifi failed again the very next day. Still no answer to my complaint

  • Ashton_Akai Erik / Ashton_Akai (@Ashton_Akai) reported

    @virginmedia There is yeah. I was trying to understand why everything was working until engineers did something though. :p I was having no issues whatsoever and then just gone the minute they left.

  • Kmccann86 Kirsty McCann (@Kmccann86) reported

    @virginmedia not helpful when you finally speak to someone on the phone and they hang up on you before you can complete the package change.

  • virginhelp Virgin Help (@virginhelp) reported

    @Mary_BMac @Mary_BMac Hello, Mary. It's never nice to hear this. We have tagged @virginmedia who should be able to help. VH

  • DoctorWarmflash SH🎄RON (@DoctorWarmflash) reported

    @virginmedia An “issue” Clear as mud. I want to know how long it’s going to be like this so I’ve got time to switch suppliers before Christmas if necessary
