    Hi @virginmedia I have just spoken Customer service, very brusque and clipped and use the term “Sir”in a very passive aggressive way. my order upgraded service they was insistent that virgin didn’t it so I had to email her “Order ref: WS7344640 Order date: Wednesday, December 2”

  • jonnybarnes Jonny Barnes (@jonnybarnes) reported from Whitefield, England

    Poor TV signal with @virginmedia at the moment, at least the internet seems to be okay

  • emma1995_louise emma louise crowther (@emma1995_louise) reported from Tyldesley, England

    @virginmedia desperately in need of some help

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia I had a problem a few weeks back and couldn’t get through to you because of the queues, I expect it’s the same now. I should learn my lesson and move to another provider I think.

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

    Hi @virginmedia, my neighbours and I are all having connection problems today but when one of us managed to speak to someone, was told that it all looked fine and is having a virtual technician calling. Seems a bit pointless if we're all struggling?

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    Sigh. Yet another @virginmedia broadband issue where it’s gone down. Again. Feels like this is a monthly thing now.

  • MalbiffaSwann Mal Swann (@MalbiffaSwann) reported from Cheadle Hulme, England

    @virginmedia Yes it is I regularly check cables and connections but this does not improve the signal in the upstairs of the property at all

  • ThisMorningCall Ben Heyworth 😷 (@ThisMorningCall) reported from Manchester, England

    Bloody WiFi has gone down yet again!!! Sort it out please @virginmedia £60 a month for unreliable services is a joke

  • Shinpad11 Mackie 🇪🇺🌹☘️🇸🇱 (@Shinpad11) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia yet another day blighted with intermittent connection. What on earth is happening with your broadband service? Woeful. #Wigan

  • Kayls3457 Kayleigh Speakman (@Kayls3457) reported from Abram, England

    @virginmedia Again fully appreciate and understand that. However, elderly vulnerable person has to rely on this service and it is intermittent and not reliable

  • emmawinstanley1 emma2511 (@emmawinstanley1) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia shocking customer services after waiting nearly a month and several hours on hold to get connected still no delivery date and now cannot work from home @ nhs

  • LiamRLaverick Liam Laverick (@LiamRLaverick) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia literally THE worst internet provider. Nothing but trouble since we switched from Sky. Engineers been out twice and still losing connection constantly. Had to turn off the WIFI to even tweet this 😡

  • Kayls3457 Kayleigh Speakman (@Kayls3457) reported from Abram, England

    @virginmedia I appreciate that, however, this is not the first time and I'm guessing it won't be the last. Praying a lot of money for a service that doesn't work!

  • josie_allan Jo Mclaughlin (@josie_allan) reported from Horwich, England

    I’m not sure how we could overcome WIFI access but surely there is a way that friendly bods @SkyUK @virginmedia could support to stop children missing out on remote teaching - digital poverty sucks

  • Kayls3457 Kayleigh Speakman (@Kayls3457) reported from Abram, England

    @virginmedia After weeks of a landline service being non-existent I was assured this would be fixed yesterday, it's not! Vulnerable isolating person relies on this to keep in touch and in emergencies. Not good enough yet again. Fed up of feeling fobbed off!

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia It just says it looks like I can’t get on the internet and it recommends an engineer to come out. On the FOURTH OF JANUARY. During a pandemic when I’m working from home. I left @virginmedia because your service kept dropping, some things never change.

  • ThisMorningCall Ben Heyworth 😷 (@ThisMorningCall) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Well it’s just gone down again!!!! 🤬🤬

  • PhilCampbell_ Phil Campbell (@PhilCampbell_) reported from Manchester, England

    Note to everyone....never join @virginmedia on an offer. scamming bastards! 🤬

  • wilsonbecks1 Rebecca Wilson 🌈 (@wilsonbecks1) reported from Bolton, England

    I would be grateful if someone from customer services at @virginmedia could contact me regarding the lack of service received since moving over to @virginmedia

  • MalbiffaSwann Mal Swann (@MalbiffaSwann) reported from Cheadle Hulme, England

    @virginmedia I need some help my wifi needs boosting in the upstairs of the house how can I get a booster from you? I’ve looked on your website and it’s impossible to find how I can get one from you. TBH can’t believe I need one given the cost I pay for your super broadband

    Virgin media yet again showing us why they’re the worst provider on planet earth

  • stroppe_o RvS (@stroppe_o) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve been checking service status every day as WiFi is constantly going down and it always shows a broadband fault in the local area. Engineers have been booked but you keep cancelling them.

  • _RH94 Ryan Harris (@_RH94) reported

    @virginmedia why have you cancelled my Netflix subscription twice now when I’m paying for it as part of my ultimate package? I haven’t received an activation email in 5 weeks as a new customer either despite contacting you multiple times.

  • StephenSuthes Stephen (@StephenSuthes) reported

    @derek_christie @virginmedia Absolutely not. Even if I wanted what they were offering at that point, their pitch and sales tactics were so poor I'd have abstained out of spite.

  • ilimpwalk ilimpwalk (@ilimpwalk) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, Internet is still down in. Its been down since yesterday 10:00pm

  • mellypeters Melly P (@mellypeters) reported

    Shocked to find out that my terminally ill friend has been over paying on her broadband for 3 years! words directory from customer services mouth - not everyone is able to pick the phone up and negotiate better deals you need to look after your customers better @virginmedia

  • LeanintoDesign John Grimshaw (@LeanintoDesign) reported

    @virginmedia I'll stick with the Google nest mesh thanks we already had a couple because of the bad coverage it doesn't make sense to switch now. One system to rule them all and all that. 👍

  • edcrick Ed Crick (@edcrick) reported

    @virginmedia Please do. Why packing hard working English as second language speakers into a crowded noisy call centre using digital phone systems you put them and your customers in a terrible position where all lose out and stress is high. Not good.

  • yatin_suvagiya Yatin (@yatin_suvagiya) reported

    @virginmedia I have to pay bills but no internet service I can expect from the Virgin on top up them , I have to pay EDF ? Amazing surprise!!!!!!!!! Super customer care.......

  • AllyMunira Munira Ali (@AllyMunira) reported

    @virginmedia Are you providing any solution? There is no internet from virgin in our area. Customer care in call is not helpful at all. Engineer after 1 week🤯 when the problem is from your side
