  • Stixx1979 Whittle (@Stixx1979) reported from Wallasey, England

    @DUCKmagstoke @virginmedia Awful customer service. Absolutely shocking.

  • RayWaring Ray Waring (@RayWaring) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia It’s ok I’ve managed to get around my dad’s security question - it was an issue with the lower / upper case. I’ve updated his password and his email is now receiving emails on his phone and iPad - I think we’re ok. Frustrating that the live chat sent him around in circles

  • charl_middo Charlotte (@charl_middo) reported from Liverpool, England

    @ThreeUKSupport hey 3, both me and my husband have 3G or below 90% of the day at the moment (5-6weeks now) and with @virginmedia also being down we can’t do anything, yet the network coverage says it’s fine… are there any issues in the L9 area for 4G?

  • Andy_Dunbar Andy Dunbar (@Andy_Dunbar) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Is that minimum 12 months subscription or can I cancel at anytime?

  • Nathann_B Nathan Booth (@Nathann_B) reported from Liverpool, England

    Try to contact @virginmedia on there faulty mobile service or wifi but call keeps ending without me doing any thing

  • RayWaring Ray Waring (@RayWaring) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Also I’ve just tried and it won’t accept the answers to the security questions - which are both ok. Can someone contact me to help me out please?

  • RayWaring Ray Waring (@RayWaring) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia No nothing - no reference number. The inconsistency of service between live chat, phone and Twitter is mad. It doesn’t feel like you’re speaking to the same company

  • RayWaring Ray Waring (@RayWaring) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia This takes me through to a help and support page - what do I do next?

  • AndrewGMilburn Andy Milburn (@AndrewGMilburn) reported from Garston, England

    Wifi down intermittently for 24 hours now @virginmedia and no checks or fixes help. Everything plugged in properly. Next available appt is Thursday morning - I work from home FFS what am I supposed to do until then??? #poor Can't even speak to anyone. #shambles

  • gbam86 Graeme Bamber (@gbam86) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia @gbam96 Yes it has been cancelled now, it was the manner it took to get there! Nearly 20 mins of asking to cancel! he had a bad attitude. Very disappointed with the customer service

  • thereal_rookie Paul Rooke (@thereal_rookie) reported from Prescot, England

    @virginmedia Already checked, your website says we have issues. Just disappointed that I have missed what sounded like a good @F1 race

  • Michael85600050 Michael (@Michael85600050) reported from Rainhill, England

    @virginmedia gross incompetence shown in L35 area today. Basically no broadband for 14 hours. No indication as to why and each hour the time of resolution extended. Not a good advert for the service. Go with Sky is my suggestion

  • LukeFoster89 Lukefoster89 (@LukeFoster89) reported from Sandymoor, England

    @virginmedia Hi, what's the best way to make a complaint? I've never experienced such incompetence from a call centre in my life. Please can some one review my calls over the last few weeks.

  • Toffeegirl13 Ann_1878 (@Toffeegirl13) reported from Halewood, England

    @MachinegunSi @virginmedia Been ****** awful lately, sick of it. Think I'm gonna serve them

  • RayWaring Ray Waring (@RayWaring) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia my dad’s email address has been hacked. VM says he has to re register his email address. He’s spent nearly 3hrs on live chat today trying to fix it. He’s 86 and relies upon his email to order from home. Can you please explain to me the process to correct this issue?

  • Michael85600050 Michael (@Michael85600050) reported from Rainhill, England

    @virginmedia how can you say you're reliable when we haven't had broadband for 14 hours with no explanation and ever increasing promises as to when resolved? Virgin Media has failed me and others in the Rainhill area. As we say in the North- shite service

  • Toffeegirl13 Ann_1878 (@Toffeegirl13) reported from Halewood, England

    @MachinegunSi @virginmedia Yeah same here Si, never had any problems but the past 12 months or so been shite

  • ste19410949 ste donnelly (@ste19410949) reported from Widnes, England

    @virginmedia speeds are crap again

    @virginmedia Christmas coming early don't make me laugh... Christmas won't come at all if virgin media have anything to do with it... the most shocking service I have ever received... be warned don't buy any services from virgin media

  • spanners6 Anna rice (@spanners6) reported

    @virginmedia The phone is only 1 month old as she replaced with a new phone thinking it was the phone that was the issue.

  • CraigPT82 Craig (@CraigPT82) reported

    @virginmedia All I seem to hear is sorry! It just doesn't mean anything anymore. Just fix the broadband. Absolute joke of a service. Nobody should upgrade to a gig with you. Going to be at least 4 days before an engineer comes.

  • Garry_R_Stone Garry Stone (@Garry_R_Stone) reported

    @virginmedia thanks to your "support team" I have had 4 calls that have not fixed my issue talking to agents who just go through the motions without understanding the problem.

  • jgillen123 josh (@jgillen123) reported

    @virginmedia It has been going on for a good while. Tried to get in touch but haven’t been able to. The live chat option on the website does not work. The internet is bad on both wireless and wired devices

  • bigH121 Haroon Ramzan (@bigH121) reported

    @virginmedia I have had a new installation yesterday... engineer went without it being fix properly have been on the phone since 8am yesterday and still on the phone now trying to get it sorted I have a elderly parent in the house her panic alarm is not working due to the Internet

  • Cazza007 Cazza (@Cazza007) reported

    @virginmedia They are still saying there isn't a problem and it will cost us money to have an engineer come look, even though wifi dropping all the time and hung up on my husband. Where do we go to complain please.

  • ilImheg ‎ً (@ilImheg) reported

    @virginmedia The website told me that it is checking my connection right now and they’re going to check over 24 hours and if not they’re going to send an engineer out if they don’t discover any problems I believe it said!

  • A_wild_wyatt I'm dreaming of a Wyatt Christmas (@A_wild_wyatt) reported

    I love how @virginmedia say they have support from 9-6 on Saturday but their lines were closed. Also love how they massively overcharged us.

  • burt4barbie Gillies (@burt4barbie) reported

    @virginmedia No service since last Sunday, the engineer was meant to come and fix the problem and but just didn't show up - no explanation given. We asked for a mobile hub so at least there would be Internet but we're told that's only for new customers...very poor service
