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

    @virginmedia Absolute lag every game every night, and it's getting worse, I tried to explain to the support lady on my PC I get 350mbps on my console I get 600mbps something not right there, it took me 1 hour to get through to support on the phone and I'm not being spoken to like that!!!

  • Kimbow21 kimberley Goodinson (@Kimbow21) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia I’m disgusted I’ve been a customer for 15 years and more . You’ve put the price up by £20. The very unhelpful person on the phone offered me a £2 discount . Disgusting back to Sky .

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

    @virginmedia I need to quit now this is taking the pi$$, I'm not interested in your fast speeds anymore, not going to phone your support and wait for an hour to be told you don't support Xbox or any console when that is what you should be about "BROADBAND PROVIDER" it's in the title...

  • cudda69 Denis Cudahy (@cudda69) reported from Horwich, England

    @virginmedia absolute joke cancelled my contract beginning August because of issues ever since its been installed, looked at at my bill I'm still being charged, all equipment in a box so it's not used you have signed me up again for 12 month WTF #jokers

  • peepers1970 PB80'squeen (@peepers1970) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Be honest.. you couldn't care less if this has been sorted. No shits given for customers. Gonna have a word with Martin Lewis.. now he knows his shit..

  • BeStrongBolton Be Strong Daz (@BeStrongBolton) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia an absolute shambles broadband service for the last 3 weeks and not scheduled to be fixed until 9th Sept 2019.

  • Eurovisioned Alec Parkin (@Eurovisioned) reported from Manchester, England

    Two months to respond to my complaint @virginmedia. Two whole months. Still no resolution. Shameful.

  • peepers1970 PB80'squeen (@peepers1970) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Nope.. i was told as its an outage fault which only effects a few addresses in my area. It doesn't show on a general test. Cant get an answer from anyone at virgin as to when it will be sorted. Its becoming a joke now.

  • AngeTurner816 Ange Turner 🔶 (@AngeTurner816) reported from Penwortham, England

    @virginmedia @Virgin_Victoria Every single evening your WiFi goes down for about two hours around teatime. Last night it went off at 6.00 pm and came back on at about 11.00 pm!

  • peepers1970 PB80'squeen (@peepers1970) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Virgin generously said if I pay nearly £150 I can leave! I declined.. although i would have the £2 offered as compensation but I think I'll spend that on half a starbucks. I'll wait till my contract is up & im free. sky from what i can gather will be gaining shit loads of peeps!

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

    @virginmedia Had to wait on phone for 1 hour tonight to get the rudest support ever, I had to hang up on her, seriously garbage hub 3 for gaming, I need to quit @virginmedia get an internet that supports console gaming, unlike this crap.👎👎

  • LauraR1707 Laura (@LauraR1707) reported from Bury, England

    @virginmedia Yes the service page says there’s no fault but when I ring 150 it says there is a fault - confused🤔

  • clk_85 claire kenyon (@clk_85) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia I haven’t yet unfortunately we are still in contract with sky- but after their recent diabolical customer service, we will be in touch once our contract ends

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

    @virginmedia Wired, wireless, modem, mode, ports open, dmz, upnp, open nat, every thing right, but the router he support said last night the router might be incompatible and that isn't a good sign.

  • Kimbow21 Mrs K E (@Kimbow21) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia I’m not bothered now we have left . The guy who answered the phone couldn’t be less interested . Every thing he was saying was on a card . He was very un professional and didn’t understand English fully . So he can’t be bothered to help I can’t be bothered .

  • JamesRead78 James Read (@JamesRead78) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia need to chat with someone about lowering my bill £100 per month is getting ridiculous! Tried using the chat function on the app but it's not working

  • peepers1970 PB80'squeen (@peepers1970) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia so amyone know when outage problem will be sorted. Now on day 4 no tv.

  • peepers1970 PB80'squeen (@peepers1970) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia 40 mins waiting speak to someone re cancelling. You offer me £2 as compensation for having no tv for 8 days!!!! Seriously! Absolutely disgusting. A total sham of a company. Disgusting customer service.

  • WiganpierprAnne Wiganpierpromo (@WiganpierprAnne) reported from Wrightington, England

    @virginmedia I am appalled at the customer service. Trying obtain my last bill from 3 months ago. Can’t be done!!account closed. They never sent packaging to send router back after 3 phone calls I gave up but got charged for it.

  • AngeTurner816 Ange Turner 🔶 (@AngeTurner816) reported from Penwortham, England

    @virginmedia Yes - my PC is done via ethernet and even that's getting cut off. For an example, me and my partner both lost disconnection at the exact same time on both WiFi and ethernet on Monday night. Previous to the disconnect, our internet quality was pretty bad.

    @virginmedia It is EE as far as I know. I have live chatted and been told it is an EE outage in my postcode area

  • SoTotallyToby Toby (@SoTotallyToby) reported

    @virginmedia Complete loss of service, then when it's stated it's fixed I often still have intermittent connection and slow speeds. Sometimes after the status is fixed my connection will be fine for a day but then back to intermittent and slow issues again.

  • millwallnick80 Nick Davenport (@millwallnick80) reported

    @virginmedia through privacy people about virgin and mobile watchdog even waiting on deadlock letter but still time for that do. It's been issue after issue and lie misleading information so much so never know who's telling me the truth just want good service and be treated correctly 2/2
