  • RaheemaValera Raheema Valera (@RaheemaValera) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Did it on 10/10...nothing showed, called again 17/10 and yes it finally showed online but till this date it still isnt actioned as no new bill has been generated either. Told not to pay and now arrears and bad mark on cred file.

  • RaheemaValera Raheema Valera (@RaheemaValera) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Thankyou but I will wait for an outcome through resolver. I've spoken to your customer care team numerous times and faced with incompetence each time and tried the chat and had no response.

  • raymondmailey Raymond Mailey (@raymondmailey) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia Nothing really. Usually it my phone or my wife’s phone but never your equipment. The same issue happened a few weeks ago and we were told it was a local fault and they were fixing it. Which it did get fixed but yet again it’s not working now.

  • raymondmailey Raymond Mailey (@raymondmailey) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia I have tried your web chat still waiting for a response after 50 minutes and counting. Absolutely appalling customer service

  • RaheemaValera Raheema Valera (@RaheemaValera) reported from Urmston, England

    So no surprise the incompetence of @virginmedia at resolving a simple issue...downgrading my package. Notified them on 10/10....after over 6 phone calls, incompetent staff, non existent manager call backs n collections calls.....official Resolver complaint done! @MoneyTelegraph

  • raymondmailey Raymond Mailey (@raymondmailey) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia I am having recurring issues again sending emails through your outgoing mail server. This happened a few weeks ago I was informed it was all sorted. Why am I paying for an atrocious non existent service. Appalling.

  • CancerGolf CLIC SARGENT Charity Golf Day (@CancerGolf) reported from Rochdale, England

    Hey @virginmedia guess what, you keep putting the phone down on me when I’m trying to discuss the outstanding monies you owe me 🤔

  • raymondmailey Raymond Mailey (@raymondmailey) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia Been on the phone for 50 minutes now and keep getting passed back and forth to different departments then she cut me off again. I am not getting the service I pay for. Fix this now or I’m leaving. I also want to complain about your appalling customer service

  • AlecParkAve Alec (@AlecParkAve) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia Oh an engineer eventually came out and fixed it. Make matters worse you've put the price up from £38 to £50.50. The £5 Doesn't even cover that. We were told we'd get a full months refund now anyone we ring denies they even have it on record that we had an issue.

  • OggyGhost 👻 OggyGhost 👻 (@OggyGhost) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia hi I’m trying to put TV Remote app on my sons iPad which is running iOS 12.4 & the app just won’t let me sign in what so ever or even load up can you help

  • CalvinBWFC1984 Calvin Williams (@CalvinBWFC1984) reported from Leigh, England

    Constant problems with WiFi connection, series links not recording, still stuck on an awful box due to unfulfilled orders!!! Can’t wait to get rid of the awful service @virginmedia provide!!

  • tiny_mischief Shaunna (@tiny_mischief) reported from Tyldesley, England

    Any issues in M29 area @virginmedia as per usual, the internet is down.

  • rebeccaartMCR RebeccaArtManchester (@rebeccaartMCR) reported from Cheadle Hulme, England

    @virginmedia Guys, you’ve done the hard work clearing the mess under the pavements. All your teams now have to do is run the cable through connecting us to the hub down the street.

  • toewad1 toewad1 (@toewad1) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia Can I quit without you ripping me off, you crappyarse company, oh and you are crap, crap crap, support are thick as shi* so fu** you @Virgin

  • tiny_mischief Shaunna (@tiny_mischief) reported from Tyldesley, England

    @virginmedia We have and it resent a signal to our box however we now have very intermittent service.

  • RebeccaHRM Rebecca HRM (@RebeccaHRM) reported from Cheadle Hulme, England

    @virginmedia All the problems were ironed out. Yesterday was the big day. We waited but nothing, not even a call or email to explain why the installation team didn’t turn up.

  • ulstershaker Maurice Dickson 🇬🇧 (@ulstershaker) reported from Bury, England

    @virginmedia down in parts of Bury yet again!

  • greydogphoto Graham Douglas 🇪🇺🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🐝 (@greydogphoto) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia No "chat" options on that link that I could see. Status is showing as having a problem, so it's not my kit. Signal is too poor for me to use phone for chatting, anyway. Let's see if things clear up soon...

  • raymondmailey Raymond Mailey (@raymondmailey) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia Still no joy. Customer service seem to bring to actually grasp the problem. I’ve had enough of VM I just want to leave now

  • AlecParkAve Alec (@AlecParkAve) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia are an absolute disgrace 😂 broadband was down for an entire month and they're offering £5 credit to compensate

  • Octavesymphony Anunitha Thomas (@Octavesymphony) reported

    @Keh3112 @virginmedia Yes that might not be a no show, but that in combination with them sending you an appointment for Sat (if you have a screenshot) should be enough proof for compensation. Worth raising a complaint.

  • KingzzR3tro R3TRO kInGzZ (@KingzzR3tro) reported

    @virginmedia Sod the faults i have had poor connection now on this 350meg bullshit internet for over a year and i just renewed a new contract aswel cant do another year like this i cant play anything not even apex.

  • gnagnolohc Hiro_P (@gnagnolohc) reported

    @virginmedia I will call sky. Is pointless pay 52 pound a month only for broadband that is always having issues

  • AlexFagelson Alexander Fagelson (@AlexFagelson) reported

    @virginmedia 2 of 2. We are all working from home these days, when service goes down anywhere this should be a priority to fix. But according to website there is no issue. I can’t believe that we suddenly got hit by a wider known issue out of nowhere that is affecting only our house.

  • HarryStani Harry Staniforth (@HarryStani) reported

    It’s now been over 60 days since I was promised my refund by @virginmedia and I have contacted your customer support team 7 times. Still nothing, just told to come back in 10 working days each time. Avoid using these complete and utter *****

  • JohnDickson722 JohnDickson (@JohnDickson722) reported

    @virginmedia Ok I will how did they get my number or know I'm with virgin it is a concern I have never mentioned anywhere my landlines number or my provider

  • ChrisEssex Chris (@ChrisEssex) reported

    @virginmedia Seems to be ok now. Just a short outage. Thanks for the help.

  • KingzzR3tro R3TRO kInGzZ (@KingzzR3tro) reported

    @virginmedia Its been going on for a year what else can i do i had new cable fitted had an engineer out . You say the same things everytime doesnt matter if there is a problem in the area its been going on for over ayear now. You need to get me a FTTP install so my broadband works and new hub

  • Octavesymphony Anunitha Thomas (@Octavesymphony) reported

    @DocSquiffy @virginmedia @DocSquiffy you are eligible for automatic compensation of £5.04+inflation for days that they delayed the start of your service. You can go to ADR via Ofcom to get this sorted out for free, VM signed up for automatic compensation so they legally should be giving that to you.

  • Octavesymphony Anunitha Thomas (@Octavesymphony) reported

    @virginmedia And what about for not providing for speeds, I pay for 3 digit speeds and get single digit? Is that worth just raising in a complaint? I have had an engineer come in previously, a new router so not sure what the issue is but I have definitely been missold a service.
