  • scott_coltherd Scott Coltherd (@scott_coltherd) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @virginmedia You are trying to say if I had of picked the standard option I wouldn’t of had any problems. Virgin media is a joke these days. phone calls every day to try and upgrade my package even tho I tell them to stop calling. Moving house soon but will get sky after 10 years with virgin.

  • ewalker287 Ewan A. Walker (@ewalker287) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    The WiFi in this house is so bad. A full five minutes to load a single webpage 😭 thanks virgin media, about as useful as a chocolate kettle.

  • ambermhammond Amber Hammond (@ambermhammond) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    Bored of being fobbed off @bt_uk @OpenreachHelp No WiFi since December 18th, consistently promised fix dates and still no resolve. Escalated again today, no one will contact us till next week - promed today it would be fixed. If you're in Edinburgh just go with @virginmedia 😩

  • janewilson_1812 Jane Wilson (@janewilson_1812) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @virginmedia Believe me I’ve been with you for 23 years and I have tried everything. I eventually already have an engineer coming tomorrow for a different problem was just not wanting another night with just channel 4!

  • hassanrh Raza (@hassanrh) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @virginmedia Hi- yes, just had a truly awful call so I raised a complaint, reference is C2312202125. Looks like a few more days of suffering with an unreliable internet system, with devices sometimes working other times not working.

  • StuartIGray Stuart Gray (@StuartIGray) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    Anyone else having WiFi issues with @virginmedia done everything they suggest online and now been on hold for 20mins. Two days without wifi is far from ideal. Lucky it’s the weekend and I just want to watch Bridgerton and not trying to do more important things.

  • RJBayley RJ Bayley, home studio voice artist 🎙️ (@RJBayley) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @virginmedia hi do you have some way to chat with a customer service advisor instead of sitting on hold on the phone? Thank you

  • fowley_dan Dan Fowley (@fowley_dan) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @virginmedia trying to cancel my services as moving soon, get transferred the the moving team and you hand up on me! Phoned 3 more times and the same thing! Not phoning again, you can private message me for my details to the account to cancel

  • janewilson_1812 Jane Wilson (@janewilson_1812) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @virginmedia lovely engineer today fixed everything. Your customer service had removed the wrong box and I’m now the proud owner of new V6 which actually plays Netflix! Took three weeks of my life but hey ho!

  • Gosia79K lucy (@Gosia79K) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @virginmedia Yes. The network is showing for a second then disappears

  • StuartIGray Stuart Gray (@StuartIGray) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @virginmedia I tried to but the network ID doesn’t show on any device.

  • scott_coltherd Scott Coltherd (@scott_coltherd) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @virginmedia It was bad all the way through the undercard. It was not acceptable to charge for the bad picture. You are due a lot of people a refund.

  • APaulHeron Paul Heron (@APaulHeron) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @virginmedia I’ve got an engineer visit booked for Saturday as that’s all your website would let me do but it seems more likely it’s a network issue as the internet is fine between 9pm and 11am every day. It’s up and down the rest of the time. EH5 area.

  • rovingcameraman staticcameraman #staysafe (@rovingcameraman) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    Very unimpressed with @virginmedia #virginmedia , no surprise there it would appear. Sales pick up after one ring but when transferred to customer service currently on hold for 30 mins and counting. Each of those minutes brings me closer to wanting to cancel my subscription.

  • mandukes Mandy forrest (@mandukes) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @virginmedia WiFi keeps dropping out every min or so. Doing my head in. Is there a issue in Eh12 8ah. Please sort it out thanks

  • StuartIGray Stuart Gray (@StuartIGray) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @virginmedia I have a hub 3 the main white light is on. Have tried resetting and factory reseting as advices on your website but there is no signal when I search on any device.

  • sdebon Stephen Debon (@sdebon) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @lillyt72 @virginmedia Lilly, sorry to hear you still have problems. Was probably one of the last customer on the phone last night & was 1st to be visited today at 8am. The tech changed the hub, did some things in the hub, don't think the speed is any better but haven't noticed any drop today (yet)

  • olsoweir George (@olsoweir) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @virginmedia trying to give you guys money setting up a new broadband connection and the rep hangs up after being on the phone for 30 mins, doesn’t call back. How am I supposed to sign up with you now? Soooo poor.

  • dnanderson David N. Anderson (@dnanderson) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @davidd_sh @virginmedia I've been trying to cancel for MONTHS. Nothing works, not even writing to head office.

  • markmoylan Mark Moylan (@markmoylan) reported

    @virginmedia I have been told every day there is no fault! Then that the signal from my hub is too low. Friday when the tech was coming would be two weeks! Now what? I’m left two weeks down the line with nothing! There is clearly something else a going on

  • blondie_helene Hélène LDP (@blondie_helene) reported

    Hey @virginmedia, could you explain to me why pay £60 per month, for no internet access? It is not getting better, it’s actually getting worst! Your service is a proper joke! Because of that, the heating system in our house doesn’t work properly and we have a little baby!

  • mariemrswood marie wood (@mariemrswood) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, I’ve reset network, signed in and out of icloud, changed the number on phone setting, turned off/on but now stuck as imessages aren’t working it is buffering on the number and says waiting for activation - any help appreciated. Thanks

  • aghorsley Alicia Ahmet (@aghorsley) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve been trying to resolves this problem since Saturday. Tech support were calling me to help.. they left a voicemail but my phone did not ring for me to answer.

  • budleigh_beagle Budleigh TM 💙 (@budleigh_beagle) reported

    @virginmedia ....I’ve contacted your customer support by phone, which took hours & they promised we would be disconnected but still nothing. I’m not paying after 25 Feb! #virginmedia

  • daniell50725302 danielle roach (@daniell50725302) reported

    @virginmedia It’s a bit poor when we can’t even get through to speak to customer services, we’re paying for a service and haven’t had it for 2 days, hopefully they will offer someone off the bill atleast

  • nazmantoo Naz Mantoo (@nazmantoo) reported

    @virginmedia Made a complaint over 8 weeks ago, and still no response. Apparently I can have it independently reviewed by CISAS as it has been that old! But yet I get a call from your staff yesterday, despite this, who tried to up sell me as a resolution to my complaint. Great service that is

  • UFC_NEWS_UK UK UFC NEWS (@UFC_NEWS_UK) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve spoken to 3 members of your team, logged a complaint and been promised 5 callbacks, yet have not had a single call from your team. Why do you think that I should now spend more of my time trying to chat virtually with them? Your team should be calling me to make this right

  • JenMcG03 Jennifer McGuigan (@JenMcG03) reported

    @virginmedia awful customer service. Very disappointed

  • ReedGooner 🔴📖⚪️ (@ReedGooner) reported from Croydon, England

    @virginmedia Simply put, the sales person missold the package and I’m now being told I’m not entitled to what I was promised at point of sale. Send me a DM and I will provide the complaint reference.
