  • pillbo01 kevin.james (@pillbo01) reported from Bolton, England

    I have virgin media but they don’t have a Customer service that you can speak to. Or email I’ve had a problem for over a month since an engineer messed about in the box in the street. Picture on tv keeps pixilated.

  • nick_lowden Nick Lowden (@nick_lowden) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia can’t get on service checker as app says it is out of service. Internet has gone down in M20 ?? When should it be fixed?

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

    @virginmedia I was also promised a call back from a manager within 24 hours on a phone call on Friday afternoon. I did not receive this phone call. This is absolutely disgusting and I expect something to be done. I rely on your service for my income as I work from home. (2/3)

  • pillbo01 kevin.james (@pillbo01) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia No as you person on 150 said you do not have a customer service that I could talk too. Your engineer said it was a fault at the box in street so I don’t know when it is fixed. But it’s not improve in the last month

  • Rik_Ashton 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.

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

    @virginmedia I have phoned you at least 10 times this week. I’ve had a visit from a technician. My Wi-Fi still doesn’t work. I rang up AGAIN in the last half an hour, after waiting for 30 mins to speak to someone, they said they had ‘system issues’ and hung up on me. (1/3)

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

    @virginmedia Will they help if the Wi-Fi is working at the time I call? Because my issue is that when it is working, your advisors consider their work done despite telling them that it usually doesn’t last. And invariable, it doesn’t.

  • SimpaticoGem Gemma ≅ (@SimpaticoGem) reported from Walkden, England

    Tell 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?

  • ChrisFoxRacing Christopher Fox (@ChrisFoxRacing) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Already reported the broadband issues, and it's an issue where estimated fix times keep getting pushed back. With regards to mobile issues, this has been around the same length of time. The only way I've been able to get any connection at all is by switching to 3G

  • martinmoscrop Martin Moscrop 🎺 (@martinmoscrop) reported from Salford, England

    @LennieThevan @virginmedia That sounds terrible Lennie. If you want to change a plan and save money they go out of their way to be unhelpful. However, if you want to spend more their customers service Is better.

  • _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.

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

    @virginmedia Have you just stopped responding now? Having some system issues?

  • michaelclark09 Michael Clark (@michaelclark09) reported from Sale, England

    @Shredda @virginmedia Oh damn, that's peak. Might just be a coincidence then 🤔

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

    @virginmedia I also don’t need to monitor the quality of my broadband, I already know it’s awful. I don’t understand how that would help.

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

    @virginmedia It’s everything connected via Wi-Fi. I don’t have the connect app. I check for service status on your website and it usually says there isn’t an issue, but that doesn’t reflect my service.

  • SimpaticoGem Gemma ≅ (@SimpaticoGem) reported from Walkden, England

    Tell me why with my @virginmedia wifi and my @O2 phone contract, MY WIFI CUTS OUT CONSTANTLY AND I HAVE NO SIGNAL ANYWHERE I GO?! Thought being a customer of you both was supposed to reap massive benefits for me?

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

    @virginmedia It works intermittently. When I speak to an advisor they fix the issue at that moment. Then, the next day it’ll cut out again and the process repeats. It was working when the engineer left, but it didn’t last 24 hours. Intermittent isn’t good enough. I rely on you for work.

  • SandyLindsay Sandy Lindsay MBE 🐝 (@SandyLindsay) reported from Sale, England

    Have @virginmedia gone down in South Manchester??? Been kicked off the wifi!

  • pillbo01 kevin.james (@pillbo01) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia That number is a automated response not a customer service agent and an utter waste of time

  • martyn_driver Martyn The Driver (@martyn_driver) reported from Rochdale, England

    @virginmedia after 26 years as a loyal cable customer it is time to say goodbye. It would seem that loyalty is not rewarded, and you don't want low use customers

    @virginmedia again you useless pricks with your unreliable internet. Fix your **** you *****! Fix your **** website that says there’s no faults when there clearly is. ******* hell

  • Jude7022 Judith West (@Jude7022) reported

    @virginmedia I have tried all these things with no luck. I have now spent many hours on phonecalls and attempts. Please can you get me some specific help

  • jameshorton83 jimmy (@jameshorton83) reported

    @virginmedia Just wifi connections for devices. Engineer changed some cable connections at the Hub and outside cables but when he left everything tested fine. There had been an intermittent problem from the cabinet previously but again this should have been resolved by now.

  • VoltaProTours Volta Pro Tours (@VoltaProTours) reported

    @virginmedia week three and your broadband service in BH6 is either non exisistant or as slow as dial up. Please don't respond with your standard text, just ask your CEO to employ more highly qualified technicians.

  • Aldo1878 Conagh🧣 (@Aldo1878) reported

    Is your internet down A ******* GAIN @virginmedia

  • MatGreaves Mat Greaves (@MatGreaves) reported

    Hey @virginmedia, why is the price of my contract going up when your service is worse than ever? It’s dropping out nearly every day and I work from home, so far from ideal.

  • richardjbellamy Richard Bellamy #resist 💙 (@richardjbellamy) reported

    I see @virginmedia has **** the bed again.

  • Ry4ncj Ry (@Ry4ncj) reported

    @virginmedia your internet sucks ***, we’ve had it three weeks and it’s faster and more stable to hotspot our devices from our mobile data than through whatever service you call this. Shocking.

  • L0oty Looty (@L0oty) reported

    Internet down, fix it please @virginmedia 🥲

  • amrikakilla Paula Castro (@amrikakilla) reported

    @virginmedia You have to be the most unreliable broadband service in the UK. Just upgraded our router to the highest speed, paying £69 p/m and still doesn't work ¾ of the time. What a rip-off!!!
