    @virginmedia DO NOT listen to their customers. Six times I have asked them to contact me after 6.00 pm only for their staff to ring me while I am in work and are really rude when I say its not convenient to talk. @virginmedia do one and stop harrassing me

    Anyone been having more issues with @virginmedia WiFi since lockdown? Intermittently our phones don’t connect, xboxes lose connection, or if the Xbox is on laptop won’t work! Got 1 PlayStation that is always ok, strange! Not good enough when you pay £138 per month 😡

  • theworth The Worth ♿🤯 👍❤ (@theworth) reported from Bolton, England

    1 week ago today, I signed up to @virginmedia as a new customer for the next 3 years. I purchased the iPhone 11 pro max. Was told it would be here Thursday. Ok, not the 24 hours I thought but could live with that. Thursday returned to sender. Online help was a waste of space

    I saw something about @virginmedia doing work in our area and we'll have no service but I can't find what dates/times. I'm working from home so have to show something to work to prove I'll have no internet/ make a plan to still work.

    @virginmedia you had people do the wiring outside mid January and finally 1st Feb someone comes to install to find out the cabling outside hasn't been done correctly so theres no signal. Your tech booked for someone to come yesterday and no one turned up, we have no internet and

  • KayDee90053630 Kay Dee (@KayDee90053630) reported

    @virginmedia Yes I need help, I’m sick of calling your ‘customer services’ which don’t help at all. I felt really ill yesterday from a bad headache caused by the stress of attempting to sort this out. Please call between now and 11am

  • Louise_Robbo Louise Robinson (@Louise_Robbo) reported

    @virginmedia But that's not good enough. When I have homeworks included in my package I expect to be able to book an engineer to fix my issue the next day as stated in the terms and conditions!

  • 39digits Christopher Hamilton 🇪🇺 (@39digits) reported

    @virginmedia your "nifty" network check has said everything is fine 2 days in a row but this is the second day of almost zero connectivity in the SW postcode for me. And others given the number of hotspots neighbours are using. I'm tired of "checking cables" and "rebooting"

  • theOz1907 Richard Horrocks (@theOz1907) reported

    @virginmedia I am having to reboot my router daily at the minute. Is there a reason for this? I am trying to do home schooling with my daughter and this is making the days drag so much more. Is it a nationwide problem or just in my area?

  • TubbyBats Heather The Fruit Bat💙 (@TubbyBats) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks. I phoned and it’s a tower problem.

  • MrRobertNewton Robert Newton (@MrRobertNewton) reported

    @virginmedia OK. I'm still NO FURTHER FORWARD. There is no way I can see to get help with TVGO. Should I just look for another broadband etc provider?

  • amycc74 Whatever Linus (@amycc74) reported

    @virginmedia Still no help from your team MH. What’s your advice today? Now 8 days into this “customer support” process and still no assistance. Deliberately preventing us from leaving?
