  • leehow2 Lee Howarth (@leehow2) reported from Urmston, England

    @NOW awful service from you! You've messed me about for two weeks getting an engineer out to my #broadband and you still can't come for another 2 weeks despite the fact I'm a critical worker with no connection #cancelled and gone back to @virginmedia #usless

  • SiManM20 Simon Manning (@SiManM20) reported from Manchester, England

    Anyone else on @virginmedia getting that weekly thing when their internet collapses again on a Sunday night? I’ve asked them repeatedly and they deny it but it’s a weekly outage like clockwork #VMSundayOutage

  • SarahBeePhotos Sarah Bee Photography (@SarahBeePhotos) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @virginmedia Terrible as always, you cannot deliver in this area, you’ve promised for a few years now but nothing changes, I’ve had to put us on unlimited data on the phones as the WiFi is not fit for purpose, I am on the highest speed apparently… shocking

  • JiriKPinnock J K P (@JiriKPinnock) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Does your customer service normally phoning at this time after 8pm from 08000521251?? Asking to verify my account??

  • 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

  • johncoxonmedia John E. Coxon (@johncoxonmedia) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia Hi. Have reported to you here that independent engineer confirmed my connection is OK but hub 3 is faulty & needs replacing. You advised phone 150 again to book engineer. Your system does not enable that just offers fault trouble shoot txt message.

  • leehow2 Lee Howarth (@leehow2) reported from Urmston, England

    @NOWTV awful service from you! You've messed me about for two weeks getting an engineer out to my #broadband and you still can't come for another 2 weeks despite the fact I'm a critical worker with no connection #cancelled and gone back to @virginmedia #usless

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia when your marketing team ring you and tell you that you have internet issues, advised I didn’t have any issues and the rude call handler just hung up. Rang from 01484313420. Not the best reflection for the company is it.

  • leehow2 Lee Howarth (@leehow2) reported from Urmston, England

    @NOWHelpTeam awful service from you! You've messed me about for two weeks getting an engineer out to my #broadband and you still can't come for another 2 weeks despite the fact I'm a critical worker with no connection #cancelled and gone back to @virginmedia #usless

  • markroberts0007 Mark Roberts (@markroberts0007) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia hi there, we’ve had internet issues since we went to sleep last night. We live in m30. There is a flashing green light on the box, I’ve been on your website to try and reset the box etc. Have you any idea what’s going on?

  • john_taxi ☺johnshere (@john_taxi) reported from Leigh, England

    @virginmedia We spend over £150 per month...We need help with our Virgin mobile account...The guy in India doesn't seem to understand

  • 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

  • rickcharlesuk Rick Charles Media Services (@rickcharlesuk) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @virginmedia fastest bb worst ping 💪🏻

  • 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

  • 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 🤬🤬

  • 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?

  • andy4321 Andy Collier (@andy4321) reported from Stockport, England

    I'd never switch broadband to @virginmedia after hearing about their unfair charges on @joelycett #virginmedia

  • TV_Bits TV Bits (@TV_Bits) reported

    @virginmedia I pay you £100 a month, why should I spend hours of my Easter Sunday waiting on hold for your under resourced call centre to tell me no more than you already have. Why not find out what the problem is and send out a tweet to keep your long suffering customers informed?

  • adammitch1512 Adam mitchell (@adammitch1512) reported

    @virginmedia I pay £100 pound a month for your internet! Been having problems with hub and internet! Connection keeps dropping out! Guy on phone said can only help people with no internet! That was 2 days ago and now I HAVE NO INTERNET!!! Can you please message me thanks Adam

  • Stixynix stixynix (@Stixynix) reported

    @virginmedia I can’t lodge a complaint online as you have closed my account early and despite 6 days, numerous calls, multiple departments and promises you still haven’t reinstated it
