  • 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

  • roslers_vest
    Scott Moseley (@roslers_vest) reported from Rochdale, England

    @virginmedia Submitting a complaint will probably result in an apology at best. Given I pay £1k per annum for an unreliable service it’s time to look for an alternative provider who can offer a more satisfactory customer experience

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

    (Test) Is anyone experiencing a virgin media Internet outage in B9?

    @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 "I'm so sorry you feel this way" is such an outdated and terrible response from a marketing point of view btw.

    @virginmedia Can you check that I will be receiving a credit on my next bill as it has been down since Friday afternoon and I don’t think it will be fixed by 12pm today, I think that time will get changed again.

  • _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)

  • Aldehulme
    David (@Aldehulme) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia I need to speak to somebody regarding a broadband problem without you running a check that will cut me off the internet. How do I get past this to speak to a person?

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

    @virginmedia I've been a customer for 10 years. Is this how your treat your loyal customers?

  • 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

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

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

    @PowerBoar @virginmedia @virginhelp they are as bad unfortunately just changed shape … still same poor up to 20wifi devices connection. and they giving customers their hubs they received from others who returned them regardless faulty or not … it’s terrible 😣

  • _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.

  • _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.

  • NeilAshtonActor
    Neil Ashton (@NeilAshtonActor) reported from Stockport, England

    @jimmyoates @virginmedia Same James. Same area and it’s not been working for an hour. It says on their website no issues in the area but not had any service.

  • 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?

  • KerryKez7
    Kerry Louise (@KerryKez7) reported from Urmston, England

    Don’t ever get Virgin Media internet/WIFI it’s SO garbage & keeps going off especially when your watching something WTF & apparently it’s the most up to date & according to them it’s the best NO it’s not plus it’s expensive for being SO c**p 🤬💷😤

  • dantheman8t5
    Daniel McDermott (@dantheman8t5) reported from Dukinfield, England

    @virginmedia Not as yet. Just that my postcode seems to be affected when checking service status

  • _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.

  • HollowayAlec
    Alec Holloway (@HollowayAlec) reported from Stretford, England

    @virginmedia is unbelievable that our Internet is so poor, trying to contact someone via phone on numerous occasions waiting for over 45 minutes to speak with someone. Still haven't been able to get through to anyone.

    @gblondon1 @skytv They will but ring you when its too late stuff them I say, I've been with @virginmedia for years now and everytime my contract ends I just ring up and get a decent deal, not as good as a new customer which I have an issue with, but still a good deal!
