  • Staigmeister Lynsey (@Staigmeister) reported from Newburn, England

    @DavidAHSleath @virginmedia I love the customer service when they just end the call half way through trying ‘to help’ I once spent 5 hours back and forwards with the every part of the business... engineers... blah blah blah... still was no better! Until I managed to get through to Scotland! 👍🏼

  • WillHowe Will Howe (@WillHowe) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia consistently excellent service and speeds but today has been a real headache, internet going down for ~20mins ever 1hr-1hr30 all day

  • Staigmeister Lynsey (@Staigmeister) reported from Newburn, England

    Shouting at Virgin Media on the internet work fix the problem. Pass it on

  • dannyrobbo82 Danny Robinson (@dannyrobbo82) reported from Wallsend, England

    @virginmedia understand that like every other business that you’re short staffed with the pandemic, but the speed of internet recently has been shocking. Website is useless, community help is useless. Don’t want to ring up, yet they’re happy to still take my money every month.

    @virginmedia Both wired and wifi connections. I still get connection problems with my laptop connected directly into one of the router Ethernet ports. I am in Area 24. Connection seems to be more stable over the last hour.

  • ElisabethHobbes Elisabeth Hobbes, author same on 🐘 (@ElisabethHobbes) reported

    @LeePartridge16 @virginmedia This is one of my bugbears. I’m in a similar situation. Tempted to leave then return as a new customer in a year but what a pain!

  • debstergr Debs (@debstergr) reported

    @virginmedia You just want me to get sick and drop my issue, I’ll just go elsewhere as customer care is none existent. I have issues with your service & you keep telling me to look into sorting it out. No how’s about you do it??

  • JuliesNB Julie Gay 🏳️‍🌈 she/her (@JuliesNB) reported

    Hey there @virginmedia I'm one of the customers whose WiFi has been up and down recently. I've now run out of mobile @EE data because of it. I reckon you should pay for mine and @ManicMadman's mobile data. #virginmedia #VirginMediaoutage

  • HabZ360 HabZ Rahman (@HabZ360) reported

    @LeePartridge16 @virginmedia I have been with them for over 20 years in one form or another and get exactly the same treatment. What's worse is I have friends who have all had their bills reduced but for some reason, I am unable to get the same deal and they literally live down the road from me!

  • Pijinnn_ PIJINNN (@Pijinnn_) reported

    @virginmedia How do I recoup the losses from my working day and outage time?

  • Emmalouh501 Emma (@Emmalouh501) reported from Halton, England

    @virginmedia An engineer was supposed to be with me between 12:00 - 16:00 today. Am I to take it they’re not coming? There’s a £25 cancellation fee if I am not in / cancel… I expect that £25 off my next bill please?

  • JamieLichtie Jamie Malley (@JamieLichtie) reported

    When I first moved to Frome I took out broadband and TV with a company called Blueyonder. They eventually became @virginmedia. After 25 years I finally managed to cancel my contract with them. Only took 2.5 hours and three phone calls…

  • FleeceBristol The Fleece (@FleeceBristol) reported

    No internet at The Fleece since Tuesday afternoon. Lost over £2k in bar sales at last night’s gig as we can’t take card payments. Still offline 24 hours later. No answer at tech support. Been in helpline queue for 7 hours. Shitshow! #virginmedia @virginmedia
