  • Slt4K
    SLT4K 👨🏻‍💻 🇬🇧 (@Slt4K) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia / Super disappointed after calling to renew my contract and as an existing customer you can’t offer anything half as good as a new customer. Shocking customer retention strategy 🤯

  • AckersStorm
    Chris Atkinson (@AckersStorm) reported from Middleton, England

    @virginmedia when will the broadband issues be fixed properly in my area?

  • PaulRegent1
    Paul Regent (@PaulRegent1) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia no internet available in Bolton - must be an outage as, although coverage is very poor, it isn’t usually this poor!!

  • CallyRaven
    Carol Rowles (@CallyRaven) reported from Westhoughton, England

    @virginmedia And our Internet is down again this morning! So because its intermittent we don't get compensation, tried to call, can't get through (have to do it on mobile, our 'landline' is now internet reliant!)

  • 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

  • CallyRaven
    Carol Rowles (@CallyRaven) reported from Westhoughton, England

    @virginmedia 3 times in 3 weeks we are without internet! We are paying for a service we are not able to use! Are we going to be compensated for this?

  • _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.

  • WCONNOLLY2512
    William Connolly (@WCONNOLLY2512) reported from Manchester, England

    @beverleyturner @virginmedia Virgin Media had gone ****. Poor broadband, crappie TV channels and half don't even work.

  • OldhamBradd
    Bradley Smith (@OldhamBradd) reported from Oldham, England

    Not another outage? #virginmediadown #VirginMediaoutage @virginmedia

  • 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.

  • 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 🤬💷😤

  • SiManM20
    Simon Manning 🇪🇺 #FBPE (@SiManM20) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Will do. That was your cue to step in and offer some ‘customer service’ btw.

  • GreenwasBlue
    GreenWasBlue (@GreenwasBlue) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia I've tried the online help to no avail.Just going round in circles. How do I get to book a visit by a human being?? 😡

  • gamepopper
    Gamepopper (@gamepopper) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia Oh, my bad. Apparently the wiring outside my house has a fault, someone did come last Monday to work on it,and someone was supposed to work on it for Thursday, but it keeps being pushed back (order ref 55230469).

  • TTPhoebe
    Phoebe (@TTPhoebe) reported from Manchester, England

    Anyone available at @virginmedia please? Your website is shocking for trying to get in touch with customer services / live chat. Thanks

  • 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?

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

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

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

    @virginmedia any idea when the outage will be sorted? I have work to do today

  • thechilledpanda
    Mike Chilton (@thechilledpanda) reported from Bramhall, England

    @virginmedia Unbelievable, you've sent me a dongle to connect a landline too the broadband on the 6th , so the phone line isnt going to work, though not much help on 150 as they abruptly cut you off. Website is also down.

  • JohnnyDude1983
    🦔🦊Johnny1983 🦝🐱 (Big Animal Lover🐕🐶🐁) (@JohnnyDude1983) reported from Bury, England

    @virginmedia Hi. Is there a difference between cat 5E & cat6 & cat7 ethernet performance wise on your network 🤔. I'm using cat 6 ethernet from my hub 3.0 to your provided powerline booster . Then from powerline booster to my V6 box. I'm using cat7 ethernet from hub 3.0 to V6 🤔

    @virginmedia I have reported 7 times now I need damaged cable burying under hardcore as having tarmac being laid tomorrow and still the Indian call centre cannot sort out my problem!!!! Unreal and past a joke now - customer service is shocking and I want a call back from England

  • MajellaDri38601

    @TheMandyGall Tommy was ok until virgin media brainwashed him but hey ho his kids will grow up knowing daddy pushed this fake **** on them

  • stephenm68
    Stephen Maddock (@stephenm68) reported

    @Joyevnm @virginmedia Exactly the same tactics here. Delayed weekly since 27 July. Now on Day 26 with absolutely no service and no useful information. @virginmedia

  • swindon124759
    Swindon! (@swindon124759) reported

    @virginmedia when I press the red button to access sky sports plus I no longer receive an error message. Has my box been successfully updated to fix this issue and I should now expect no further issues from this incident? Thanks @Virgin

  • RJAldous1
    Richard Aldous 🍊 (@RJAldous1) reported

    Hey @virginmedia how long does it take to sort out a connection issue as my broadband and tv went down about 14:00 and still just getting a flashing red light on my router (yes I reported it) these days it’s hard to do anything without internet access! 😡

  • stephenm68
    Stephen Maddock (@stephenm68) reported

    I dream of 10 hours! Our @virginmedia broadband has been down for around 600 hours and there is no information about why they can’t fix it….. Customer since 2007 when the company began, too.

  • sucksfacebook
    Jacob Kaplan (@sucksfacebook) reported

    @virginmedia how do i register interest for a xgs-pon network line?

  • Dmhches
    Dmh (@Dmhches) reported

    @virginmedia the fact that the red button isn’t working for sky sports on your service means you’re not providing the serving I am paying for. Please confirm I am able to exit my contract with no penalties due to this

  • RGE_Art
    Richard Geraint Evans (@RGE_Art) reported

    @Strudlehoffer @JFab208 @virginmedia I really do feel your pain. Are there any companies out there that even pretend to offer acceptable customer service?

  • lazylazydude
    youwouldntknowme (@lazylazydude) reported

    @virginmedia I don’t think you get it. When I say multiple calls, I mean daily. I’ve told your customer service not to contact me. They said they’d make a note and wouldn’t, then called the next day anyway. Worst company I’ve ever had the misfortune to deal with.
