johnsonhomes (@johnsonhomes2) reported from Sale, England@virginmedia The guy I spoke to at VM yesterday said that she wouldn’t be eligible for a “disabled” phone line to be installed because it wasn’t claimed when they dug the front garden up 18 months ago. We were never given this as an option at the time, if we had we would have insisted on it.
-
Adam🍺 (@MCR_ADM) reported from Stockport, EnglandBeen on a live chat to Virgin Media since 9:30. WFH joys. Not much work has been done. But got my bill down. #CozzieLivs.
-
Definitely not Elon Musk (@twiddlemeister) reported from Cheadle Hulme, EnglandProbably consider an unlimited tariff at some point to make up for when Virgin Media goes down.
-
UtilitaRian 🔶 (@SoloUtilitaRian) reported from Bolton, EnglandWith the intro of new dedicated Gigabit lines in my street I can't wait to switch over and leave Virgin Media for good. 3x internet has gone down this week and I just called VM. The systems there are down and gotta call back in 3hrs..... useless
-
Gamepopper (@gamepopper) reported from Salford, England@virginmedia Oh, my bad. Apparently the wiring outside my house has a fault, someone did come last Monday to work on it,and someone was supposed to work on it for Thursday, but it keeps being pushed back (order ref 55230469).
-
Mark Armstrong (@mark001282) reported from Manchester, England@virginmedia Don't give me your copy and pasted waffle. You have done nothing to help. You have been an absolute thorn in my side! "I'm so sorry you feel this way" is such an outdated and terrible response from a marketing point of view btw.
-
Hannah Tompkins (@he_tompkins) reported from Manchester, England@virginmedia Hi there, I was told I would receive my replacement broadband by today and still no indication of when it’s going to arrive. Any help?
-
Gemma ≅ (@SimpaticoGem) reported from Walkden, EnglandTell me why with my @virginmedia wifi and my @O2 phone contract, MY WIFI CUTS OUT CONSTANTLY AND I HAVE NO SOGNAL ANYWHERE I GO?! Thought being a customer of you both was supposed to reap massive benefits for me?
-
William Connolly (@WCONNOLLY2512) reported from Manchester, England@beverleyturner @virginmedia Virgin Media had gone ****. Poor broadband, crappie TV channels and half don't even work.
-
SLT4K 👨🏻💻 🇬🇧 (@Slt4K) reported from Urmston, England@virginmedia / Super disappointed after calling to renew my contract and as an existing customer you can’t offer anything half as good as a new customer. Shocking customer retention strategy 🤯
-
Ducky 🇺🇦 🎃 👻 (@duckyblog) reported from Tyldesley, England@virginmedia Issues with all VM services in my area says expected fix by 4:40pm today.
-
Nathan (@nathangreen101) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, EnglandHi @virginmedia is there a particular reason your engineers phone to say they are here but never actually turn up?
-
Richard Ashton 💙🇺🇦 (@Rik_Ashton) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England@SkyUK My Sky package is slowly edging up. Some new customer deals from a couple of years ago have worsened discounts but... I'm still around £30 a month better off than when I was with Virgin Media. Never going back.

Steve George🏴 (@George66Steve) reported@CCFCGrapes @virginmedia They're a bunch of See You Next Tuesdays and I'm going to be leaving them soon. The way they rack the prices up is immoral and the supposed service they provide is non-existent.
-
Martin Shrimplin (@MartinShrimplin) reported@MichelleBeckett @SkyUK @VodafoneUK Sorry to hear about your loss. It’s never a pleasant task making those calls. If you’d left the name of the company with terrible customer service out of your post, I’d have still guessed it was Virgin Media.
-
Mayur Shikotra (@Mayur_pdf) reportedShocking bad service by @virginmedia. Engineer was meant to come to see if our property could get broadband. Apparently he “turned up” and decided we cannot have broadband. All while I’ve been waiting here for him. Checked CCTV and no sign of this engineer.
