  • AyubZumla Ayub Zumla (@AyubZumla) reported from Boothstown, England

    @virginmedia Shocking customer service. Renewed my contract last week , received a loyalty discount, and now received a email with the contract showing full price in excess of £100! 20 plus years of loyalty! #ridiculous #loyalty

  • Ben_buy_thebook Ben Holmes (@Ben_buy_thebook) reported from Salford, England

    Looks like the WiFi is down. @virginmedia can you confirm?

  • RHJOfficial яєαℓιѕт נανѕтαн 💻🖱 (@RHJOfficial) reported from Oldham, England

    Hey @virginmedia Is this one of your accounts? It looks very suspicious to me as they're wanting my card details to verify I am who I am and I know you never request these details. 👇 @VirginHeIp

  • RockPrincess26 Chelle Walmsley (@RockPrincess26) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia what is going on. Why has my WiFi gone again. The last time it did this it was down the whole day. GET IT SORTED.

  • AlisonPilkingt4 Alison Pilkington (@AlisonPilkingt4) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia we have a loss of broadband in the M6 area. No notification but the automated service states it’s an update on the service. If you want to provide good customer service, prior warning would be good. I’m fed up of this. If I can’t work from home, I will lose pay!!!

  • AussieBen38 BT (@AussieBen38) reported from Stockport, England

    Absolutely abysmal customer service from @virginmedia everyone I speak to hasn’t a clue what they’re talking about! People steer clear if you’re thinking of switching!

  • RHJOfficial яєαℓιѕт נανѕтαн 💻🖱 (@RHJOfficial) reported from Oldham, England

    No WiFi either. Oh, Virgin Media. 😩 At least the engineer is outside working on a fix. Chaotic Monday!

  • RHJOfficial яєαℓιѕт נανѕтαн 💻🖱 (@RHJOfficial) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia Yes, 2 reported issues and currently undergoing a fix.

  • bigdrwes Wesley Tensel (@bigdrwes) reported from Leigh, England

    Another outage with @virginmedia - I’ve been told as a contingency you would be able to send me a dongle as I have to work remotely at times for my #NHS work. Can someone assist with this please and unable to get through on the phone

  • forakin Akin Akíntáyọ̀ 🏳️‍🌈 #European (@forakin) reported from Manchester, England

    Obviously, using the @UswitchUK service I should shop for a better than the exorbitant @virginmedia broadband service with phone line that I pay for but never use, after 6 years, they are complacent, I'm unhappy, because the Direct Debits are going in above the rate of inflation.

  • MarkClifford86 Mark Clifford (@MarkClifford86) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia hi, internet has been down for about 20mins now. Flashing green light on router. Run the test on website, turned off and on. Can you help please, as I’m trying to work from home.

  • bigdrwes Wesley Tensel (@bigdrwes) reported from Leigh, England

    @virginmedia anyone working today to help with a query?

  • MsBethTaylor Beth Taylor (@MsBethTaylor) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia Yes it is. Plenty of room. No reason why the signal is poor. My last home was a house and it was fine in that.

  • Gibzen Louis Gibson (@Gibzen) reported from Oldham, England

    The worst thing I’ve ever bought is @virginmedia internet.

  • MsBethTaylor Beth Taylor (@MsBethTaylor) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I can’t get hold of anyone to talk to on the phone or online about the broadband signal strength in my flat. Can you help?

  • MsBethTaylor Beth Taylor (@MsBethTaylor) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia It’s the same. I live in a small flat and when I go into the bedroom, the signal drops significantly. Surely it should reach the whole flat!

  • AdnanHussainuk Adnan Hussain (عدنان حسين) (@AdnanHussainuk) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia You gave me options of which I've already exploited. I really appreciate the reply, but surely the service has to improve.

  • SeeingSpots_ Steph (@SeeingSpots_) reported from Oldham, England

    The internet has gone again. I swear @virginmedia is down more than it's up!. It went at this time on Friday for 30 mins. Today the website shows a fault in the area. ETR 5PM!

  • LauraR1707 Laura (@LauraR1707) reported from Bury, England

    @virginmedia hello our box attached to our outside wall is broken and won’t close, wires could be exposed and with the weather changing the water could get in. This has been since we moved in, in April

  • RHJOfficial яєαℓιѕт נανѕтαн 💻🖱 (@RHJOfficial) reported from Oldham, England

    Internet is back down again. @virginmedia What on earth is going on? The same thing happened on Friday and now again today, twice!

  • sucksfacebook Barry House (@sucksfacebook) reported

    @virginmedia Still down. ****** joke.

  • janisbonada JMC (@janisbonada) reported

    @virginmedia shocking internet with zero ways of contacting anyone. Website says error, no one answering phones. Disgusting way to treat customers especially seeing as just hiked prices astronomically. Goodbye 👋

  • juicyB111 Cyril Sneer (@juicyB111) reported

    @virginmedia @MikeRodgers74 I will be leaving virgin as soon as my 18 month contract is up and never returning. They put £12 on my monthly bill and are now trapping me in it until October or charging me £288 early cancellation fee. Any other deals would require another 18 month sign up. Absolute scumbags.

  • Tmsmoran ~~Waaves~~ #dignityindying #banfireworks (@Tmsmoran) reported

    ive not had internet problems with #virginmedia what i do have a problem with though is the £7 pm increase for my internet from next month

  • thewhitehobbit DarkToolBelT (@thewhitehobbit) reported

    @virginmedia get rid of the dodgey chinese tech you got running your service, root cause fixed.
