  • littlelegs0829 Lisa Shaw (@littlelegs0829) reported from Stockport, England

    @owensherratt @virginmedia I left these for that reason... being so slow or not having any Service for days... I ended up going with Now Tv !!

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

    @virginmedia so I upgraded to 200mb yesterday and today I can’t get a service at all!! £42 well spent NOT!!!!!!!

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

    @virginmedia This is the type of service you give, trash, what advise are you going to give me, unplug router 30 secs, 👎 open ports👎 none of your advise works, , no point,

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

    @virginmedia My upload speed is up and down, line not stable, come on VM. Sort it out.

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

    @virginmedia It's pretty annoying to phone support, wait 30 minutes to get through, then listen to someone who only knows the basics, reboot, pinhole in the back of the router, plus we can't understand each other. No point in calling support, my contract finishes soon, I look forward to that.

  • R1chardHughes pɹɐɥɔıᴚ 🇾🇪 (@R1chardHughes) reported from Rochdale, England

    When Virgin Media replies quicker and is actively trying to help the #Fifa20 player base whilst @EAFIFADirect @EASPORTSFIFA haven't done a thing about it yet... #EASPORTSFIFA20 #easportsfifa #fifadown

  • ThatPavaldo SocialiteAppetite 🌹 (@ThatPavaldo) reported from Bury, England

    @JDenebe @virginmedia @EASPORTSFIFA I have the same problem and I am with Virgin media

  • SiManM20 Simon Manning (@SiManM20) reported from Manchester, England

    @stenev @MrEuanStewart @virginmedia Until the 3 kids scream that ‘the internet’s gone off’ and you reboot it. A reboot of the @virginmedia kit always sorts it - shame they’ve never explained why though.

  • TheOmnisis Brian Cooper (@TheOmnisis) reported from Sale, England

    @gazza_d @virginmedia That's just baffling. We deal with customer data, and have our InfoSec processes locked down so hard but I still get sleepless nights worrying that my team might slip up on something.

  • storm_imaging Craig Cooke (@storm_imaging) reported from Bolton, England

    Just had a call from @virginmedia - yep right. Saying my broadband was slow because of files being downloaded without my knowledge blah blah. When I said I don’t have Virgin Media broadband was informed that all the internet in my area goes through their servers...😩

  • das2112a David shore (@das2112a) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia well, well, well. I haven't wasted my time for a while complaining about the shocking 9mths we spent with you 2nd rate awful company. However the news shows you are clearly still a shockingly poor company!

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

    @virginmedia broadband is completely down!!!

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

    @virginmedia Gaming is a joke, so called superfast, I played 1 game tonight, backed out of all others turned Xbox off totally waste of time but, every night every game you are crap mate @virginmedia total shite always have been I can't even get a signal upstairs.

  • DebbieG_EA Debbie Grimshaw 🐝 (@DebbieG_EA) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @virginmedia Thank you appears there is a TV services issue being fixed at the moment estimated to be resolved by 16:00 Hope so, can't have anything spoil my viewing of @CallTheMidwife1 season finale this weekend

  • lisaTideswell1 Lisa Tideswell (@lisaTideswell1) reported from Stockport, England

    @VirginAtlantic Thank you! You are the only people I can get a reply from! @richardbranson & Virgin can do customer service, while @ExpediaUK @Expedia won’t reply to any social media or phones. It’s like you are sat with your fingers in your ears trying not to listen and hope this all goes away

  • rRetro87 reconsidered Retro (@rRetro87) reported from Manchester, England

    @MsEmilyMorris I’ve got Sky Q so not sure if that makes a difference but defo call and see :-) I had horrendous customer service from Virgin Media once so vowed never to go with them again!!

  • iagdotme Ian Anderson Gray 🚀#SMMW20 (@iagdotme) reported from Cheadle Hulme, England

    @virginmedia That requires the house number as well. I assume that's all you have. It would be good if you had a map or a list of streets. It would then help in looking for our next house.

  • cicismith81 Careen 'Cici' Smith (@cicismith81) reported from Manchester, England

    Public Announcement: STAY AWAY FROM @virginmedia , they ALWAYS give you the wrong information, the attitude SUCKS. I’m done. @sky I’m coming home

  • AdamConlon10 ADAM @ independent media wolves (@AdamConlon10) reported from Middleton, England

    Virgin media is the worst con to ever exist hope they get bombed no bait

  • ianpay Ian Pay (@ianpay) reported

    @virginmedia @dannyjpalmer Here's a really crazy idea - is Virgin Media able to improve its password complexity requirements? Because that might actually be the issue here...

  • briseglace bass axis (@briseglace) reported

    @virginmedia For the umpteenth time, I was told someone would come today, only to phone and be told it will be fixed tomorrow instead. AGAIN. Is anyone ever going to come round and fix this? Or am I just going to keep having the same conversations with you over and over?

  • flynner0804 liam flynn (@flynner0804) reported

    @virginmedia I spoke to a virgin media customer care team who I’m not convinced that he could totally understand me, but he apologised for closing my compliant he couldn’t explain shy it happened but assured me a manager would call me back within 30 mins that’s was two hours ago so disappoin

  • anilcanclk Anıl Can⁰¹ (@anilcanclk) reported

    Why does every consumer have to deal with price increases every damn April? My home broadband contract supposedly £24pcm & now it's £27.25 @virginmedia - pathetic.

  • salman_ghani Salman Ghani (@salman_ghani) reported

    @virginmedia after rescheduling installation 2 times, you have changed again. There is no planning and organisation in your teams. This is how you treat people sign up for 1GB broadband. By far the worst customer service I have ever seen.

  • AmyRemilia CaptainAmy (@AmyRemilia) reported

    Very disgusted by @virginmedia It's been down since like 2pm, apparently they found the issue at 3pm and their technicians have been on it for 3 hours now, not expected to be fixed till ****** 10:45pm, so my plans and day off are ruined. It is down in the area.

  • Marcus55219591 Marcus 🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈🇪🇦 🇺🇦 (@Marcus55219591) reported

    Someone from the manager department fm @virginmedia needs to call my boyfriend asap, he's been miss sold a contract , ment to be 5G phone and sent a 4G phone . Tried to call to explain the issue but no one can help, as it's been over 14 days trying to explain and waiting someone

  • ukparky parky (@ukparky) reported

    having trouble finding the right section on the virgin media page? could you point me in the right direction. i was told that only i could do it but the tech guy actually had problems on telling me where it is.

  • kln_nurv D K (@kln_nurv) reported

    @virginmedia @dannyjpalmer It is normal to have *minimum* requirements. Removing the 12 character limit would solve a lot of issues though. Usually such specific length requirements mean the password is stored insecurely. You should refer this to your development team or escalate to the device vendor.
