  • peepers1970 PB80'squeen (@peepers1970) reported from Manchester, England

  • peepers1970 PB80'squeen (@peepers1970) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia so amyone know when outage problem will be sorted. Now on day 4 no tv.

  • peepers1970 PB80'squeen (@peepers1970) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia 40 mins waiting speak to someone re cancelling. You offer me £2 as compensation for having no tv for 8 days!!!! Seriously! Absolutely disgusting. A total sham of a company. Disgusting customer service.

  • DanyelWilliam13 Danyel (@DanyelWilliam13) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia On the 25th and then the month after we have the same issue Just not on really

  • GrahamEdgington Graham Edgington (@GrahamEdgington) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia receive a final account for £63 and that would be the end of things. The final account never arrived however the outstanding account has been passed to BPOB collections who bumped it up to £269.96. I have paid the account off, so sincerely hope that Mr Branson 1/3

  • Kimbow21 Mrs K E (@Kimbow21) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia I’m not bothered now we have left . The guy who answered the phone couldn’t be less interested . Every thing he was saying was on a card . He was very un professional and didn’t understand English fully . So he can’t be bothered to help I can’t be bothered .

  • Tankie69 Dave Frith (@Tankie69) reported from Cheadle Hulme, England

    @virginmedia No problems found tonight. Hopefully last night was a one off. 1 outage in the first 3 weeks isn’t reassuring though

  • clk_85 claire kenyon (@clk_85) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia I haven’t yet unfortunately we are still in contract with sky- but after their recent diabolical customer service, we will be in touch once our contract ends

  • KevinFa34262602 Kevin Fallon (@KevinFa34262602) reported from Middleton, England

    @virginmedia hands down worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. Will be leaving as soon as our contract ends 😡🤬

  • dreadedwhisky Guy Rushworth (@dreadedwhisky) reported from Manchester, England

    After 48+ hours I’m still without any phone service. Despite being in contact with customer support at @virginmedia for over 48 hours. Had to buy a temporary @EE SIM card in the end. Fed up and frustrated to say the least.

  • knowmadiqx2x knowmadiqx2x (@knowmadiqx2x) reported from Manchester, England

    Second weekend on the trot #virginmedia broadband down in south Manchester #virginmediabroadbandblues

  • BeStrongBolton Be Strong Daz (@BeStrongBolton) reported from Bolton, England

  • aish_a_ aisha (@aish_a_) reported from Bolton, England

    Virgin media is so ******* SHIT sick of this life

  • peepers1970 PB80'squeen (@peepers1970) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Nope.. i was told as its an outage fault which only effects a few addresses in my area. It doesn't show on a general test. Cant get an answer from anyone at virgin as to when it will be sorted. Its becoming a joke now.

  • chrissy__w christina wareham (@chrissy__w) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @virginmedia once again my internet has gone down. Had issues at weekend and happening again OL7 9LP. Been intermittent all morning can you advise if issues in area

  • Kimbow21 kimberley Goodinson (@Kimbow21) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia I’m disgusted I’ve been a customer for 15 years and more . You’ve put the price up by £20. The very unhelpful person on the phone offered me a £2 discount . Disgusting back to Sky .

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

    @virginmedia Yes the service page says there’s no fault but when I ring 150 it says there is a fault - confused🤔

  • aish_a_ aisha (@aish_a_) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia u sent me a new router like a month ago and this connection is SLOWER than the router that was over 10 years old I’m basically sat on top of it and I’ve never experienced slower WiFi

  • GrahamEdgington Graham Edgington (@GrahamEdgington) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia My Mother in law recently went into care with the late stages of Alzheimers and as power of attorney of her affairs I have tried to cancel her phone contract however your customers service did not want to know. They marked the file closed and said I would 1/3

  • harjiharj H Singh (@harjiharj) reported

    @m4gicse7en @virginmedia And that's not even taking into account your loss of revenue/business/mental peace. Oh surprise surprise, my internet now has issues, too. 360mb package, I'm getting 27mb download speeds. My calls are dropping in and out. Take a bow, virgins. With a capital V

  • KayleighBlaker Kayleigh Blaker (@KayleighBlaker) reported

    @virginmedia made a complaint, you said you’ll get back to me in 28 days and we’re now on day 30 and I’ve heard nothing. Also still having internet issues.

  • Editordie 𝙹𝚒𝚖 𝙷𝚒𝚕𝚕𝚒𝚎𝚛 (@Editordie) reported

    @virginmedia I *would* like to congratulate you on how effectively your customer interface prevents registering complaints about the utterly abysmal broadband support we receive. But sadly I can't because of your terrible customer interface. Perhaps someone could call me?

  • Steve_mcmaster Steve McMaster (@Steve_mcmaster) reported

    Why is @virginmedia allowed to **** up peoples credit file because of their own mistakes and now won’t resolve it. #virginmobile #identityfraud #virginonuseless

  • zombie_apoc1 GJM (@zombie_apoc1) reported

    @virginmedia I am now very 😡. Less than a week, 2 engineers and multi hours on the phone and still no fix to my internet which at its best gives 90mbps for Gig 1 Fibre. All that’s been recommended is you will monitor it for next 30 days. In meantime I can’t connect to it.

  • JeffForshaw Jeff Forshaw (@JeffForshaw) reported

    @virginmedia I received a letter saying planned maintenance this week - however I admit I don’t have the letter so I cannot say what day it was planned for. Just coincidence?? Anyway service seems to be coming back - although status page says down until 6pm .. fingers crossed !

  • DaveOFlanagan Dave O'F (@DaveOFlanagan) reported

    @virginmedia The problem is we HAVE internet during the outage - no one seems to be able to grasp this - and the engineer will most likely arrive after 9 when everything is working fine.

  • Postmanlondon Richard Meadowcroft (@Postmanlondon) reported

    @virginmedia The only thing that is going to work is me being contacted by you and as a result of that me receiving a booster that works! A visit to sort out the problem of poor WiFi in bad weather that surely is due to moisture?

  • jason_pursey Jason Pursey (@jason_pursey) reported

    @virginmedia I've been trying to get an intermittent internet outage resolved. I've been sent in circles, hung up on, and 6mos on it's not resolved. How can I get assistance on this please?

  • sammonigh Sammo Nigh (@sammonigh) reported

    @virginmedia £216.50 is excessive. It should be capped at a much lower amount. @virginmedia are turning into a 'never again' company for me
