  • 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.

  • pillbo01
    kevin.james (@pillbo01) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia That number is a automated response not a customer service agent and an utter waste of time

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

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

  • nathangreen101
    Nathan (@nathangreen101) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    Hi @virginmedia is there a particular reason your engineers phone to say they are here but never actually turn up?

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

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

  • _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.

  • 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 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.

    Peter Thornton.🇺🇦 (@insidewrite1957) reported from Ramsbottom, England

    @eshelm @simonnread @virginmedia Worst people I’ve ever worked for By a distance

  • JoshuaBurns
    Josh B (@JoshuaBurns) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia I will. 2nd week in and these kind of issues is worrying considering my partner needs a connection to work from home. How long do I have to switch providers is it 30 days?

  • martinmoscrop
    Martin Moscrop 🎺 (@martinmoscrop) reported from Salford, England

    @LennieThevan @virginmedia That sounds terrible Lennie. If you want to change a plan and save money they go out of their way to be unhelpful. However, if you want to spend more their customers service Is better.

  • 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

  • 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 🤯

  • gbmcfc
    GLENN (@gbmcfc) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Well you find I'm cancelling my contract with yourselves, hope you go bust, your customer service team is a shambolic embarrasment. Loyalty works both ways.

  • Rayzor74
    Ray Morgan. NHS💙🇺🇦 (@Rayzor74) reported from Stockport, England

    Good start to the day with @virginmedia informing me my monthly bill is increasing by £15/month and I have until the 17th of April to decide on my options. That is £180 annually. Having been firstly a Nynex customer and a Virgin customer since the takeover think it may be time

  • DaveGarside
    Dave Garside🇺🇦🇬🇧❤️ (@DaveGarside) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia No. Tv is fine. I can access VOD such as Amazon Prime & Youtube no problem

  • birdflu_7

    @virginmedia I have numerous emails of my complaint , all of them paying lip service so to speak .

  • Tiffers1973
    Tiffers (@Tiffers1973) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    Jim Harrigan (@Bloodrave1984) reported

    @virginmedia Fix your internet because I've been getting disconnects and reconnect every few minutes. This is not good enough given the bill I pay, I expect reliable service. BB8 postcode

  • oxongardengirl
    Allie (@oxongardengirl) reported

    @lewclarke1 @virginmedia Oh I could have told you they were awful. Try moving house with them! It's "character building"

  • DrPJSullivan
    Dr. Paul J. Sullivan (@DrPJSullivan) reported

    @_HadleyGamble @virginmedia A common "customer service" complaint across many companies. Poor service is expected these days.

  • KingT_94
    Sam (@KingT_94) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve been having issues with my internet for the last week. Streaming is a nightmare and trying to use the internet in general has been ridiculous. I’m meant to be getting 250 mb download speed and I’m not getting anywhere near that 🤔 can you advise please?

  • Demon__Cyborg
    toastyborg (@Demon__Cyborg) reported

    Been on hold for @virginmedia technical support now for THREE hours and still no answer. This is beyond a joke

  • Deb0rahKW
    Deborah (@Deb0rahKW) reported

    Tons of organisations where you want to speak to a human and can't find a phone number. Yet. Virgin media down. I just want to click a button to report and all I can find is a phone number.

  • HammondMilly
    Melitha Hammond (@HammondMilly) reported

    @virginmedia I’m trying desperately hard to keep my child safe online. He has SEN and has spent £300 in over 18 websites since he was 13. I used essential security to lock these from my router however it hasn’t worked for months. Feel really let down!

  • Omersaeela
    👾 (@Omersaeela) reported

    Hey @virginmedia Its been 2 days my account is locked and not getting any response from support after calling them for hours how can i cancel my services and get new wifi ?

  • AlbertoGiovino
    AG (@AlbertoGiovino) reported

    @virginmedia new customer here. Great customer service when you wanted my business. Now: Still not Wi-Fi-boosters are contracted to give. Impossible to get through to an agent, instead going in circles with your automated number. Web-messaging not responding. What do I do?

  • HelenDavie66542
    Helen Davies (@HelenDavie66542) reported

    @virginmedia Having problems getting install app to display to change to virgin media 360. Shall I just wait 5 days for it to appear?
