  • theleeharrison Lee Harrison (@theleeharrison) reported from Boothstown, England

    @JakebwfcHurst @virginmedia Not virgins issue at that point. They might be able to provide you with some boosts but they will only take you so far.

  • DJKreases Kreases (@DJKreases) reported from Urmston, England

    @mikewebb227 @BockerWright @virginmedia I have been with Virgin for 17 years but had nothing but problems with their WiFi and the service has been poor. It took a long wait on the phone a couple of weeks ago but have finally cancelled my contract.

  • Orko77 Jenny (@Orko77) reported from Manchester, England

    Hi @virginmedia, I rang 150 to say I wanted to leave. The person I spoke to instead offered me deals which I turned down. Then we finished the call. Have I left or would I have gone through a different process first?

  • Moonface1975 Rachel Walker BLACK LIVES MATTER (@Moonface1975) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia how can I get in touch with you to discuss our huge hike in monthly payment for TV and Broadband? It is impossible to get through on the phone. You’re not even put in a queue! Please help or Sky TV beckons!

  • IanBradbury_UK Ian Bradbury (@IanBradbury_UK) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia yet again my broadband is down - a nightly occurrence lately!

  • JabiRashid90 Hijab Rashid (@JabiRashid90) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia your internet is ****! Goes down for days at a time. Been down since yesterday again. Can’t work properly, can’t speak to anyone properly, can’t watch tv. Can’t do nothing. Diagnosis is ****. Customer service is ****. Sort yourself out!!

  • ElliottAstle Elliott (@ElliottAstle) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia I know your prices increase but going from £46 to £72 is ridiculous. Will defiantly be calling ASAP to cancel my contract and go with someone who provides the same service for a lot less.

  • jessharrissx21 J (@jessharrissx21) reported from Salford, England

    Anyone else @virginmedia down? Trying to watch Netflix

  • woodyoo5 Paul Woodward 💙 (@woodyoo5) reported from Walkden, England

  • Mozza0705 Morris🥶❄️🥶 (@Mozza0705) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia Contacted your call centre and they were no help. Broadband is so slow! Not good enough. No way anyone seems to want to help.

  • AntBonney Anthony Bonney (@AntBonney) reported from Bolton, England

  • MattWellock 𝙆𝙞𝙩𝙆𝙖𝙩 (@MattWellock) reported from Manchester, England

    Can’t wait to move over to @SkyUK in a couple of weeks, @virginmedia is the absolute worse now, internet used to be brilliant but know goes off and can’t pick up in some rooms anymore, had about 3 new hubs too, it’s just terrible! Don’t let me down Sky.

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

    @virginmedia No one from your company has been in touch to arrange an appointment to fix the issue which is putting our property at risk. Hence my request.

  • McglynnVicky Vicky (@McglynnVicky) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

  • CBRGroup CBR Maintenance (@CBRGroup) reported

    @virginmedia Poor customer service still on hold after 45 minutes 🙈

  • RichardDunneBSc Richard Dunne (@RichardDunneBSc) reported

    @virginmedia how long is the Internet down for?

  • seantwr4 Sean Robinson (@seantwr4) reported

    @Spxnchez @virginmedia Hopefully you don't plan on gaming, ping spikes are a very very regular occurance. I had to buy a £300 ROG router to try and combat it and it is still really bad. I'm talking steady at 17 ping for 4 seconds, spikes at 400, reduces to 150 for 4 seconds and spikes again. Good luck

  • Wawawiwa15 Wawawiwa (@Wawawiwa15) reported

    @virginmedia The Xbox one is about 3 meters at a push away from the router. I had the same problems when the Xbox was under the router so I used wired and it wasn't as bad.

  • sarahrider Sarah Alice Rider (@sarahrider) reported

    Avoid @NOWTV and @WeAreOpenreach. After 10 days waiting for an engineer only to not turn up, I’ve been told the next available date is 25 March. Cancelled and going to @virginmedia who I would have gone with in the first place had I known the absolute joke this “service” would be

  • leeb5529 lee buckler (@leeb5529) reported

    @virginmedia your customer services are a joke. I have been a customer for over 15 years. Renewed on 7th March. Problem after problem. 17 phone calls and 6 hours on the phone. Now complaining about the complaint. Nothing thay was promised has been done. @Ofcom

  • tamtamtamsin Tamsin (@tamtamtamsin) reported

    @virginmedia M100. Regardless of what speed I'm subscribed to your phone service says engineers are fixing an issue in my area & apparently have been for the last 4 days! I just want to know when this will be fixed, why it's not showing on the website & why I'm paying for speeds I don't have

  • Helder1994_LDN Helder (@Helder1994_LDN) reported

    @virginmedia you know damn well the issue is fixed hahahaha have a good Monday

  • Nathan_Clark_1 Nathan Clark (@Nathan_Clark_1) reported

    @virginmedia Please try again later and I’ve had this for weeks, I called up got through then they said i would get an email from a technician and of course the email never came

  • SophieGraceNash Sophie Nash (@SophieGraceNash) reported

    @virginmedia Hi - it says there are no known issues still. But when I run the test it says that it recognises we are having issues with connecting to the internet. Is booking an engineer the best option to get it fixed? We are now at 67 hours with no internet.
