  • Nicola_Johnston Nic Johnston 🇺🇦🌻 (@Nicola_Johnston) reported from Mitford, England

    @virginmedia come on. You just have a good idea from the outage earlier today how long this is going to take. I’m trying to WFH with Covid. @bt_uk how long does it take to switch providers?

  • PaulCraig24 Mr Smoggie (@PaulCraig24) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia She has tried but every time they say they can’t help if she hasn’t got her password! Can I chat to someone about this as there are personal issues. I understand that this may be difficult as it is not my account. Thanks

  • pearceswan David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia If there is any tools that you can suggest I use to solve my issue it will be greatly appreciated, I don’t mean to mean in your position but I just would like to know exactly what you can do SHAW at the end of the day I’m assuming you’re going to tell me to go to technical help

  • TheFraserPorter Fraser Porter (@TheFraserPorter) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia twice in 2 months that my hub 5 has completely gone down with a flashing red light and won’t work, I’ve had to book a technician for it both times. Costs too much for this to keep happening!

  • PaulCraig24 Mr Smoggie (@PaulCraig24) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Unfortunately not. The issue is she doesn’t receive any communication from Virgin apart from a monthly text with the link to her account. As she has no password etc she can’t access it

    @virginmedia Hi, my internet has been awful all week, can you check on this

  • dcowley19692 DaCow (@dcowley19692) reported

    @JBeardsmore93 @virginmedia Wow - I cannot even get anyone to contact me regarding a complaint which was raised over 2 months ago. Have you tried calling customer services yet? Good luck!

  • Julian5News Julian Druker (@Julian5News) reported

    @virginmedia hi your broadband is simply abysmal. It’s stopped twice in 15 mins & I can’t even get to the first ad break. Also logging-in via my phone data to your app there are always password issues

  • nefariouuus kasie 🌸 (@nefariouuus) reported

    Companys like Virgin Media need to realise that theyre needed sm rn for so many people and yet they don’t sort their **** out fgs like I can’t be with The Open Uni and have **** wifi

  • TheTomothy Tom Hogan (@TheTomothy) reported

    @virginmedia Obviously being a little old regular person and not a famous celebrity will mean I'll be lucky to get an apology and their £8 a day refund for no service. Despite the loss of earnings.

  • MEH4N Dave (@MEH4N) reported

    @virginmedia How long do callbacks take? Staff promise to take ownership and then don't call. Ps Complaint raised over a month ago. This is rather urgent. Someone call me directly.

  • gemmanemana Gem 💎 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@gemmanemana) reported

    @virginmedia School classes, my son missing a day of college and losing bursary for not attending, and I missed out on a online training course. The broadband issues were brought to virgins attention for over a month before they agreed to do something about it...

  • marny85 Sophie Mahon (@marny85) reported

    @virginmedia can you help me... I spent yesterday being passed around the houses from your call centre staff. My package was downgraded in march, i paid the extra bill of £143.50 but you decided to charge me £143.50 this month too!!

  • Nkelly400 Nkelly (@Nkelly400) reported

    @virginmedia fix your ****** internet speeds. Wifi is so slow today, are servers down or something? In the middle of a pandemic aswell. Shameful.

  • fitay59 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿FiTay🇬🇧 (@fitay59) reported

    @virginmedia Are you able to flag this issue to the appropriate team on my behalf or not? I have no phone line and haven't for a full week now. I only have a pay as you go phone and can't guarantee I have enough credit to complete the call myself.
