  • BazxAnderson Baz Anderson (@BazxAnderson) reported from St Helens, England

    So get an email on Sunday saying my @virginmedia bill is going up in September. Since then nothing but problems with the internet. If your going to charge a fortune. Provide a decent service.

  • shaunbentley Shaun (@shaunbentley) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia Take this morning for example. You could have checked on previous interactions. But because you couldn’t be bothered, I’ve had to explain again. So. Take that as another example of how poor both your customer service team are and you, individually..

  • shaunbentley Shaun (@shaunbentley) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia Still on the phone. Just found out the eng that was supposed to come today to fixed the frayed cables outside was a no show. Also all my smart lights have stopped working meaning the local network (not broadband) has gone down. Finally you’ve agreed to issue a deadlock letter.

  • Marsoma Marsoma (@Marsoma) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia Yes I’ve done all that. There was an issue in the post code but it says it’s sorted now, but it’s not. Still nothing at all!

  • thestuchy13 Damon (@thestuchy13) reported from Billinge Chapel End, England

    @virginmedia It's a fault you was suppose to fix yesterday at 4.15 in the area but still hasn't been fixed

  • bizzarebird BBird (@bizzarebird) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Restarted twice, no problems with Internet at all. It started randomly on Monday night I thought it was going down but no it's like its telling me Internet is working but no thanks. Router is stuck where it is next to TV don't want flashing x

  • diygolf John Pennington (@diygolf) reported from Ramsbottom, England

    @MotoNutJob @virginmedia Should be that if your provider can’t fix the problem within 24hrs you should be allowed to terminate the contract at no cost to yourself & they must give you a Uk contact number because the Bombay warriors are F..kg useless at sorting a problem

  • beefstock3 colin paul henstock (@beefstock3) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia its been a week now and its taking the mick as i pay over £100 a month for this so called service so please sort it.

  • lorraineayrton Lorraine Ayrton (@lorraineayrton) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia I have tried EVERYTHING to speak to a human however the automated rubbish doesn’t let me get there. It just tells me there is a problem that you are trying to fix. Clearly I am aware there is a problem and has been for sometime I have done all usual diagnostics my end

  • baabaa89 Victoria. 🐝 (@baabaa89) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia We have been experiencing issues with our hub. We often lose connection and then the connection is not very strong at all when connected. This has been happening for a couple of weeks. Please advise further.

  • Listuuh Ryan (@Listuuh) reported from Manchester, England

    Anyone else on virgin media and the internet is down in your area

  • lorraineayrton Lorraine Ayrton (@lorraineayrton) reported from Bolton, England

    When you have 1001 things to do, Uber slow internet (yes @virginmedia I’ve tried switching on/off etc but still feel like I’m on dial up) and still haven’t a call time for job tomorrow is making me a proper grump #mondaythoughts #MondayMotivaton #MondayBlues #MondayMood

  • IanCardy2 Ian Cardy (@IanCardy2) reported from Rawtenstall, England

    Service from @virginmedia is disgusting for existing customers! Dial 150 hold for 20mins someone answers but can hardly speak English then hang up when I ask for a new deal #customerservice try calling back & it’s busy so “sorry can’t help today call tomorrow 8am some of us work!

  • baabaa89 Victoria. 🐝 (@baabaa89) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia No issues and my box has no issues after running a test, but it still loses connection regularly.

  • lorraineayrton Lorraine Ayrton (@lorraineayrton) reported from Bolton, England

    Dear @virginmedia I don’t want an automated response, I want a solution. I have had intermittent internet access for 4 WEEKS and have had ENOUGH. I want to speak to a human being, can I have a number to complain to please #crapservice

  • Marsoma Marsoma (@Marsoma) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia Had no internet and TV service for over 24hrs now, can’t get through on the phone and it says the broadband issues are sorted on the service check online...it isn’t.

  • 19Mikey67 Mike Cairns (@19Mikey67) reported from Salford, England

    @mcrcoffeeaddict @virginmedia Yeah, no problem. Virgin have been shit for ages.

  • Listuuh Ryan (@Listuuh) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia It’s down again sort it out

  • marcbbz Marcbbz (@marcbbz) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Third time this weekend trying to get through to the retention team. I’ve spent a total of 1hr and 37mins on hold and still not spoken with a human being. And you wonder I want to cancel my subscription.

  • danielpwood1 woodsa (@danielpwood1) reported from Salford, England

    @RockcliffeFiles @virginmedia Me to, my work has a high proportion of Indian colleagues who I generally rate highly but a lack of understanding of the conversation and an inability to deviate from script to provide reasonable customer service is totally unacceptable.

  • Carahaych_ Karma🖤 (@Carahaych_) reported

    @virginmedia how long with the internet be down for in the WS3 area?

  • Donna4Rainhill Cllr Donna Greaves (@Donna4Rainhill) reported

    @virginmedia You've flatly refused to take a report of a fault for an elderly customer who's landline is faulty when somebody else has tried to report it for them you have said "computer says no" Your CSR confirmed "you do not have a dept that deals with vulnerable customers" WOW JUST WOW!

  • SamoEdits Samo Chandler (@SamoEdits) reported

    @geraintthomas @TalkTalk Get Virgin Media fibre. Yes they're more expensive, and don't have great customer service themselves and won't give good deals to keep your business after your contract is up. But I've rarely ever had disconnection problems, the odd area-wide issue. But mostly always reliable.

  • Litadoolan Lita Doolan (@Litadoolan) reported

    @virginmedia Yes still an issue. @richardbranson please advise. #virgin #email #volt

  • SynchroJack88 ✨SynchroJack88 - TL47✨ (@SynchroJack88) reported

    @virginmedia I’m no novice and have worked in technology for over 14 years. I know how to reboot a router etc and it doesn’t solve the issue! Funny how the service deteriorated after the cooling off period ends

  • UBSixT Mia Culpa (@UBSixT) reported

    Further to previous @virginmedia tweet..just got a call back from Glasgow..they had a power outage so call was ended,Lady confirmed 150 call if I press option disconnection will go through to a UK call centre but it can be any of six or can be outsourced no numbers kniown. FARCE!

  • rickiwellman Ricki Wellman (@rickiwellman) reported

    @virginmedia really need to sort out your business broadband services, have had NO internet all morning and have been told a fix will be done around 5/6pm, how am I meant to run a business 🤬

  • peterwells79 Peter Wells (@peterwells79) reported

    @MelHorrocks19 @virginmedia Have you got a good data package in you phone contract? I use my iPhone as a Wi-Fi hot spot when my broadband goes down at work (not Virgin)

  • Donna4Rainhill Cllr Donna Greaves (@Donna4Rainhill) reported

    @virginmedia Furthermore a complaint was made from one virgin customer about the lack of support asking you to test the line for a fault and you incredulously sent a copy of that complaint to... the customer account that you are unable to act upon or test, that is just utter madness Virgin

  • prprivate Peter Rossi (@prprivate) reported

    @virginmedia Virgin Media do - I don’t want you to call me from “Twitter” you have my complaint ID, please get someone to review it who has the capacity to resolve it and get them to call me
