    @virginmedia //even when I was with my ex. I’m absolutely sick and tired of your poor service. You’re all cowards and clueless. You NEVER EVER deal with a straight forward problem with a straight forward attitude. Everything is impossible with Virgin media. No problem flying to space, but//

  • badlydrawnroy
    Roy (@badlydrawnroy) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia There were no outages in the area, every time I tried to use the system to fix the problem an error or maintenence page came up. Tried logging into the router to fix and the tools were all broken. Finally an hour later it just came back on by itself.

  • Mcollinson72
    Michael Collinson (@Mcollinson72) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia ongoing intermittent issues with my broadband for weeks now and yet your website gives no option to get through to anyone to help despite it promising to do so. Keeps telling me to check back in 24 hours. Unacceptable level of service!

  • LagstoneHall
    Michael Lockley #TheLostPaintingOfLagstoneHall (@LagstoneHall) reported from Leeds, England

    @ReetNortherner4 @DawnSunrise1 @virginmedia They are poor, I was constantly doing "tests" on the line for a month before they agreed to try and fix it. Then later on, they handed our account to Talktalk without proper consultation who were even worse .

    When @virginmedia #complaints dept are supposed to ring you within 2 hours - 5 hours later & waiting. Why did I just move to this company? #fail #virginmedia

  • ClaraGomer
    Claire Gomersall (@ClaraGomer) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia A fault, however, the router was “updated”.... Worked okay for a couple of weeks, then went back to being out of sync / tinny sound I thought it may have been down to my Gramps TV - but I bought a new TV and used the FireStick on there - but still issues!!

  • Gav_Leaf
    Gav Leaf (@Gav_Leaf) reported from Castleford, England

    @virginmedia £55 a month JUST for Internet from April? Been a customer for over 20 years when it was £20 a month. Loyalty just gets you taken advantage of I guess.

  • Mcollinson72
    Michael Collinson (@Mcollinson72) reported from Wakefield, England

    Slow glad to be moving from @virginmedia broadband this Friday. Their advertised speeds used to be unparalleled but since FTTP alternatives becoming available their appalling level of service and refusal to acknowledge or deal with faults has forced a once loyal customer

    @RestartCarl @virginmedia BT are just as bad.

  • Aidan1964
    Aidan Carey (@Aidan1964) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia I'm a new customer and cannot access my account. I've spoken to your customer service team a number of times and they haven't been able to sort my issue out. My account is tagged as a secondary account, but I'm the primary account holder!

    @BEEFY1973 @virginmedia Has to be 48 hours down which they always make sure it isnt

  • cathgray23
    Catherine Gray (@cathgray23) reported from Horbury, England

    @virginmedia We discussed the Oomph package which I initially agreed to then changed my mind within the 14 days, informed the customer service guy, by phone, text and email, he said he would cancel. The engineer came and documented that TV had been refused and therefore didn’t install

  • DarylBeaumont2
    Daryl Beaumont (@DarylBeaumont2) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia I was moving house they said the bill would be different for the first three months, then back to normal, however apparently I agreed to a new contract @ £14 extra per month, I’d only had my previous contract for 6 months so why would I do this, oh and the house move was cancel

  • astolante
    Louise🐦🐝🌵🧀🐌 (@astolante) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia I've received a bill for April but I never actually used your service as I didn't have a compatible socket so cancelled. Trying to sign in, I'm told my email address and account number are not recognised.

  • EJJFoster
    Ed Foster (@EJJFoster) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia I have tried the status but its saying the service is fine. Yet all the people on out estate are complaining they cannot get onto Virgin internet. We cannot book an engineer as isolating. Why is it constantly broken or speeds so slow?

  • SamWalker03
    Sam Walker (@SamWalker03) reported from Dewsbury, England

    @virginmedia I’ve been hung up on three times this morning by your contact centre! All your willing to do is pass on the “feedback” do you have anyone customer service trained I can speak to ?

  • Carlianleeds
    LUFC is Life ⚽️ (@Carlianleeds) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia // my credentials. But without her, you can’t do anything 🤔 I’ve reported the faulty router, I’ve told you explicitly that I WILL NOT engage with my ex. Yet your telephone persons tell me I have to…. You claim I have a mobile contract with you? I don’t, I never have//

  • RichieH37745130
    Richie Hall (@RichieH37745130) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia @O2 Signal normal drops out due to signals from other routers would and can cloud your signal. The intelligent WiFi of the HUB 3.0 will switch between 2.4ghz and 5ghz wnd there is where you will experience the drop connection. My recommendation is a pin hole reset. 👍

  • ringroads
    Martin Lowrie (@ringroads) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia We have finally got through to someone other via a mobile phone to sort it out. But there does seem to be an issue with your website.

  • Carlianleeds
    LUFC is Life ⚽️ (@Carlianleeds) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia Honestly don’t even reply to this. Virgin is a horrible and useless company. Good luck with Space, but Earth is more important, not rockets 🚀

    @BigPaul91 @virginmedia Part of the reason I have just left along with shocking customer service trying to speak to people who don’t even speak English.

  • COhanians
    Chris Ohanians (@COhanians) reported

    @virginmedia genuinely shocked and appalled by virgin leaving my 80 year old father in law without broadband for a week. No o2 signal so was uncontactable by family fo such a vulnerable adult. We live a couple of miles from him and we had intermittent broadband too. I went online

    entrustTMF (@entrustTMF) reported

    @karenwi17092279 Sorry to hear that, not good 😔 Yes, we rely on these things more than we realise... I had forgotten the printer, the TV box, my Spotify, heating controller, etc. all use the WiFi and workarounds for all of them need to be fashioned or just abandoned until @virginmedia fix it
