    @virginmedia No, just that it will be on and off until the 30th. I am not asking for ‘fault free’ just some acceptance that we are paying a lot of money for a service we are not getting and paying extra for 3G. The attitude from virgin is it’s ok because you are getting it sometimes!

  • SweeneySweeney1
    lynn sweeney (@SweeneySweeney1) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia I have been left with 4 holes in 2 rooms in my house, all made by an incompetent member of your team. I want my complaint resolving asap and compensation for the aesthetic damage to my property, and the time I have wasted trying to get this whole debacle resolved 2/2

    @donzy77 @virginmedia You would think as loyal customers we would get better deals. Please let me know if you find a better service elsewhere.

    @virginmedia Will you ever sort your hub 3 from lag, lag, lag, 10 million customers, you prob paid a quid each for this pile of crap hub 3 from China, taking advantage of the sweat shops paying the workers nothing, that is why this router is shite, shite shite!

  • SweeneySweeney1
    lynn sweeney (@SweeneySweeney1) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia My complaint regarding the damage to my property following the incorrect installation of cables at my property has not yet been resolved. Apparently, my complaint has been escalated to a manager but I am yet to receive a formal apology or formal acknowledgement 1/2

  • SalfordHydro
    Dr Neil Entwistle (@SalfordHydro) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia Ok great, I hope you do as thus far your customer service phone line hasn’t. The engineer hasn’t. The manager I spoke over the telephone hasn’t so you’re my last hope before I’m forced to shop elsewhere

  • ConradBetton
    Conrad Betton (@ConradBetton) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia In the last 4 weeks I can’t get any internet if more than a 5m away from hub/extender. Shows and full signal strength. Your technical support team need to send me at least 1 more extender.

  • CarlitosGirl
    Gail (GiGi) Frampton (@CarlitosGirl) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia No not really, I need a call or a name I can email. I just need a resolution, can't spend time telling a long story to people who don't have the authority to look at the account and resolve it. Can you do that or can you pass me to someone who can. Please.

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

    Having a right shocking time with @virginmedia customer services. 3 months being overcharged and having to call them on a monthly basis! Still not resolved 🤬 looks like @SkyUK will be getting a new customer.

    Louise Woodman (@louise_woodman) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia we’ve also got no catch up tv etc.. only live tv. Again since Saturday. Tried rebooting but this doesn’t help. No timescale given on the number you gave me and no texts sent to update.

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

    @Simatron3000 @virginmedia That looks bad, mine is better than that, but notice no packet loss.

  • louise_woodman
    Louise Woodman (@louise_woodman) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia I keep calling and it plays the same message saying you knows there’s a fault and you are trying to fix it. The same message since Saturday morning. It offers texts to update but I’ve had no texts even though I’ve put my number in each time I’ve called.

  • paulhulse83
    Paul Hulse (@paulhulse83) reported from Sale, England

    Evening @virginmedia over the past month I have been reporting issues with your service as you will see through tweets! However, today I learn that you’ve issued my bill and also charging me for last month - when it HAS been paid! I have the confirmation of payment with me!

    @virginmedia Just a comment! I have made no recent changes to my iPhone or iPad so I suspect it’s a Virgin problem!

  • euan_broderick
    Euan Broderick (@euan_broderick) reported

    @virginmedia I haven't, but I know that my area (EH6) has a known vandalism problem and I'm not the only person in the area currently affected so I'm surprised this hasn't been prioritised

  • Moosey__93
    Marie - Moose 🦔 (@Moosey__93) reported

    Had enough with @virginmedia now, been with them years and still continuing to have problems. As I've said before, not a clue what I'm paying for. Can't wait to switch providers

  • andygreen
    Andy Green (@andygreen) reported

    @virginmedia I have just received a call purporting to be virgin broadband tech support from this number 0203 9798303. Is this bona fide or fraudulent?

  • PETEBREEZY
    Pete Breezy (@PETEBREEZY) reported

    @virginmedia once again a failed visit. 2 months without broadband. Call centres cutting my calls off. No one owning the issue or telling me why no one is installing broadband for me. You really need to sort this out. The most disrespectful customer service ever received!

  • 11ukImtiaz
    imtiaz kar (@11ukImtiaz) reported

    @virginmedia do you have to give notice of 30 days to cancel your contract

  • GaryHurdman
    Gary Hurdman #GTTO 💙 (@GaryHurdman) reported

    Hey @virginmedia. I'm having constant problems with my router (it randomly selected a device in the house to block from the internet for a day). Reporting it seems impossible, just go on the merry-go-round on your support site (which is also a bit rubbish).

  • SilverKd
    Karl Dobson (@SilverKd) reported

    @virginmedia I dont want to run tests, im not paid to run tests, give me a job for £20,000 per year or more and i will happily run tests for virgin media, i pay my bill to you every month which means its virgins / your responsability to provide the service!
