  • twiddlemeister Dave/Давид 🇺🇦 (@twiddlemeister) reported from Cheadle Hulme, England

    @virginmedia All status checkers say no outage reported, which is rubbish because I know of at least 4 people who have reported issues in this area.

  • essers Esjay (@essers) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia I’ve been trying to do this via WhatsApp for three days now. I’m in a never ending loop of getting to the point where I’m referred to a agent, in the queue, & a couple of hours later, I get asked if I’m moving house, and the whole process starts again. It’s has just started again

  • essers Esjay (@essers) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia That’s where I started, two days ago. The live chat sent me over to the WhatsApp service, so I wouldn’t be ******* waiting on my phone etc. I’ve given my details so many times, I practically know my account number by heart now. If you look through the chat history, you can see

  • harness68 harness68 (@harness68) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia once again your connection speed is shockingly slow. Not sure why I pay for m600 lucky to get 50mb. To make things worse your chat never respondes and the phone is a joke. 25 years of taking my money and the service is getting worse. Think I will move to #BT

  • Oldham13 Oldham13 (@Oldham13) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @virginmedia 1. Bad Report ir 2 Oops, the page as timed out

  • Joe95976011 Joe (@Joe95976011) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia worst customer service ever

  • essers Esjay (@essers) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia I’m hoping to speak to the movers team on WhatsApp. I’ve now had an actual human being the line, who says I’ll be connected soon. But that’s what the messages about have said every time. 🙄 I can book in for 1.30 on Monday, but I’ll cancel if I speak to someone sooner, ofc

  • carlbarrett Carl 🙃 (@carlbarrett) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @virginmedia a landscaper just went through my virgin cable in the garden, how can I arrange this be fixed? the customer helpline isn’t very helpful.

  • emmafc87 Emma Caulfield (@emmafc87) reported from Middleton, England

    @virginmedia been with you less than a week and our Internet has gone down more in that time than it has done the last 4 years with our previous provider!!!! If this carries on we will need to cancel 🤬

  • twiddlemeister Dave/Давид 🇺🇦 (@twiddlemeister) reported from Cheadle Hulme, England

    @virginmedia FYI, there’s an SK8 outage since approximately 4pm and you’re not reporting it on your outage checker. Multiple reports around here. Please get someone on it.

  • essers Esjay (@essers) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Then please at least have the grace to tell me so. I’ve been a customer so long you’d think I might be due some support, but this last year has just been dreadful. I’ve taken a phone contract I don’t want and been unable to get explanation for billing variances. It’s just ****.

  • essers Esjay (@essers) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia than it’s worth, even after being with your service since it launched.

  • emmafc87 Emma Caulfield (@emmafc87) reported from Middleton, England

    @virginmedia It never ever says there is an issue tho when there clearky is!! So thats useless

  • twiddlemeister Dave/Давид 🇺🇦 (@twiddlemeister) reported from Cheadle Hulme, England

    @virginmedia Yes it’s an outage and not an issue with our modem, or else others wouldn’t be affected. I’m on your business line, and whilst I appreciate that might not be something you can look at directly, it’s clearly an issue that needs resolving for everybody.

  • essers Esjay (@essers) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Altho, I’m not sure how I would cancel it…

  • austingreenxxx Austin 💚 (@austingreenxxx) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia your internet is down… AGAIN… some peope that things to post

  • Natterback Mrs Jordan -Johnson (@Natterback) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia the advert offering new customers Superfast Broadband for £20. Is it not right that you take care of your loyal customers first, those that have been with you for 10 years plus. Considering the energy situation it would help.

  • essers Esjay (@essers) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia This the second time I’ve been on hold for an agent today. Just started the third time. I’d also note, in the bottom message, there is no ‘handy link’. There never is. I may have had that message more than ten times now. I just want to tell someone our new address before we move

  • essers Esjay (@essers) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia And I’m at the limit of my stress capacity. Please let me tell someone our moving date and transfer our services, or cancel my contract. I’m tired of this now. I really am genuinely sick of this, to the point where it’s impacting my health. If you don’t want my custom…

  • CurryInTurry DJ Nerja 🇺🇦 (@CurryInTurry) reported from Stockport, England

    @AndyOxon @O2 @virginmedia I've been waiting five months. Complaint gone external now!

    @JonnyUttley @virginmedia My surface went down 10 mins before my lesson last Thursday morning and I had to steal my laptop back from my Yr 13 son and he had to make do with his phone. Technology is a always a nemesis!

  • buzgra Buz Graham (@buzgra) reported

    @virginmedia why is that it takes 40 minutes to get a call answered poor performance

  • PaulioB Paulio (@PaulioB) reported

    @KelandraDrake @virginmedia I'm just cancelling my direct debit to them. It's impossible to get a resolution with them any other way.

  • PaulioB Paulio (@PaulioB) reported

    I can't actually wrap my head around how awful @virginmedia are. Thank goodness I'm cancelling. Just a shame that the only way to actually leave is to cancel the direct debit, because you have naff all chance of contacting them - either online or over the phone.

  • BeckyHopeS Becky Stevens (@BeckyHopeS) reported

    @virginmedia Your customer service for a potential customer is shocking!!!! I’ve just had the snottiest reply from one of your advisors. I need to speak to someone ASAP

  • carrielyon2010 Carrie Lyon (@carrielyon2010) reported

    @virginmedia how much notice do I need to give to cancel my contract due to price rises?
