  • shuttsi77 Richard Shuttleworth (@shuttsi77) reported from Wilmslow, England

    @virginmedia Just Apple, they struggle to connect and buffer whereas non Apple laptops are fine, for example. Either that or it’s our WiFi? Please help?

  • shuttsi77 Richard Shuttleworth (@shuttsi77) reported from Wilmslow, England

    @virginmedia why won’t my Apple devices work properly on your personal WiFi? What is the solution or should I start charging my phone data bills to you. Your boss heads to space, brilliant but his customers can’t get consistent WiFi in the 21st century. Please help.

  • AlexxTheTiger Alexx 🏳️‍🌈 (@AlexxTheTiger) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia Not really, I checked your system on my virgin media page and it reports no problems on the area, I already restarted and rested my modem, more then once time

  • WrenJohn John Wren (@WrenJohn) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia told by them today that problems with “catch up” service not something that was paid for so in effect had to put up with the poor performance, in the end offered a tenner! Perhaps there is a better solution, ie get rid of them & get someone who cares 🖕

  • DaveGarside Dave Garside❤️🇾🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿⚽️⛳️🎸 (@DaveGarside) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Yes there are and there were all 3 times. Currently 4.00pm estimated to be fixed but that’s my Saturday pretty much gone without any service

  • NellyOcker Neil Cocker (@NellyOcker) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia also since my contract inception May I’ve had no 5G or 4G just 3G which is extremely slow when processing fast is needed. Extremely poor & I’m a long standing loyal customer of Virgin Media for over 20 years when it was called Cable Wireless (NTL)😡

  • neyo Steve Day (@neyo) reported from Manchester, England

    @Netflixhelps I haven’t but I’ve streamed it via Virgin Media and EE’s mobile network, so it feels it’s not likely to be that? Can you or someone on the team try streaming it on iOS and letting me know if it works?

  • MaryAkram3 M A R Y (@MaryAkram3) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia Shittest internet going problems after problems we’ve had for a week and we pay a fortune!!

  • levylass Moira McLoughlin 💙 (@levylass) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia seriously getting fed up with your service why do I have to sit on top of a box connected to TV to get any internet when working at home & office on 2nd floor ?? Rung 3 times same old guff pull the plug out 🤬🤬

  • NellyOcker Neil Cocker (@NellyOcker) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia I’ve been with Virgin Media now for well over twenty years but I’m not happy with customer services whatsoever especially having the phone put down on me on two occasions ! 😡

  • GregBarnes2 (((Greg Barnes))) (@GregBarnes2) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia Once again my sim card isn’t working. Please don’t ask me to call the service centre, I’ve tried and haven’t got that long to live. Happy to email you details if you give me an address.

  • AlexxTheTiger Alexx 🏳️‍🌈 (@AlexxTheTiger) reported from Stockport, England

    I never been so mistreated by @virginmedia like I was today, the staff on the live chat literally "hang up" on me mid support... absolutely gutted, saved all the conversation and I will seek citizens advice over this, that is no way of treating a 6+ years costumer

  • shackmcfc ShackMcfc (@shackmcfc) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia how do I report cabinet damage that needs urgent attention? Tried the number but option 2 to speak to someone just rings out

  • NellyOcker Neil Cocker (@NellyOcker) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia I can never get to speak to someone who fully understands me because all your call centres are now sourced overseas.I need a Manager to ring me ASAP please. Not happy whatsoever how I’ve been treated it’s not acceptable to be treated with ill manners 😡

  • IanCardy2 Ian Cardy (@IanCardy2) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    Unsolicited sales call from @virginmedia offering me an upgrade but pay more! Why would I pay more when the services you already provide are slow & outdated with zero customer service. Prove it works & then maybe 🤔 but £99 a month is already too much!

  • NellyOcker Neil Cocker (@NellyOcker) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia so much for Virgin Media to ring me yesterday Friday 6th Aug over three complaints. Phone call from Customer Services never came to fruition .. Not a happy chappie 😳😡

  • WrenJohn John Wren (@WrenJohn) reported from Oldham, England

    So many problems @virginmedia this year, poor system, poor WiFI, poor connections, poor customer service, all seem to be continually getting worse as does the response to complaints. Anyone else putting up with this poor quality? @skytv looking a clear future prospect

  • AlexxTheTiger Alexx 🏳️‍🌈 (@AlexxTheTiger) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia But that costumer service was abysmal, the person took ages to reply, and when it did, tried to sell me the same internet package I have for more than what I pay currently even...I don't want to have to upgrade my package to "fix" my internet, I just want the speeds I hired

  • WrenJohn John Wren (@WrenJohn) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia Told yesterday that it is a local problem due to be resolved by 12th August, however that seems to be a standard reply which is now becoming tiresome. We have to wonder if @virginmedia have fallen back in the hi tech department & that we should move on to a more reliable provider

  • twiddlemeister Dave (@twiddlemeister) reported from Cheadle Hulme, England

    @dj_damien @virginmedia I once had an advisor tell me that my services (that were going down for an hour or so once a day, every day for a week) must have had no issues because I was downloading tens of GB a day. Can’t wait for BT to put their gigabit lines in round here. Will switch in a heartbeat.

  • jaisjoshi Jai Joshi (@jaisjoshi) reported

    @virginmedia Having issues with my internet. Looks like some work has been carried out in NR6 area and was asked to restart the router - did and still internet is dropping in between and not getting signal in rooms

  • g_fielding Gillian Fielding (@g_fielding) reported

    @virginmedia Service Status says there’s no issues in my area. I’ve rebooted my laptop, followed all the instructions on the web page. Still having major challenges especially with Teams meetings. Please can you double check. #embarrassing

  • abdullahm3211 Abdullah (@abdullahm3211) reported

    @virginmedia Nope no update sure this happened last time too? Well at least I have evidence this time. When I cancel don’t tell me you need your equipment back because I did try.

  • WhatAboutHannah 🐝 (@WhatAboutHannah) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, 60 second reset has not solved the issue

  • CEdvardz The Edvardz (@CEdvardz) reported

    @virginmedia They can’t help hence why I’m supposed to be getting a call back. Apparently no one can arrange a call back. They promise but it never happens.

  • Champs707007 Stephen Champion (@Champs707007) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @virginmedia It’s been erratic all day on both connections and your service check says no issues identified. One minute it’s doing 40-60mbps then it’s just plain dead but shows a connection

  • elcrutchboi el crip man 🇻🇮 (@elcrutchboi) reported

    @MENnewsdesk Virgin Media better not be, as if my internet hasn’t been **** enough for the past like month

  • Ciaran92815413 Ciaran (@Ciaran92815413) reported

    @JimAllister Only in certain areas same with virgin media and if your home broadband goes down due to lineage problems you’re bottom of the list as by owns all the lines

  • anniebonne Annie Warburton (she/her) (@anniebonne) reported

    @virginmedia And several of your help options are circular e.g. call, go through options, texted a web link, web link says you have to call. It is like circles of hell. Shocking customer service @virginmedia compared to competitors e.g. @VodafoneGroup (I've been a Virgin customer for 20 yrs)

  • lou2sing Louise Herrington (@lou2sing) reported

    @virginmedia 2/2 and then get the unavailable noise as though the number never existed. The suggestion was made today to change the hub, but then I have to pay 2 hrs of contract IT time to re-set up the office and all system connections. Not an option (unless virgin pays for it) !
