    @virginmedia Hi again guys. Exactly the same experience. They can't help me because by the time I've waited on hold, and weve discussed the problem again (for the 20th time or so), the problem has resolved. It's still happening 4 times an evening and it needs fixing. Please help.

  • burdmiester
    Paul Burdon (@burdmiester) reported from Kingswood, England

    @virginmedia Totally shocking services again, tried web chat messaging etc crap. Speed test less that 12 mbps, paying for 100mbps 🤯🤯🤯 What are you going to do it In off after 20+ years of pain, no more!

  • gman7634
    graham monks (@gman7634) reported from Patchway, England

    @virginmedia It's fixed now and it was a problem in the box down the road, almost 24hrs to fix it is a bit of a joke thou 🙄🙄

    J Stan (@Superstan_92) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Multiple problems when moving home. Now we have been told we won't have anything installed until 31st December when we moved in on 29th November.

    Tiffany (@lazy__goth) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia No, it doesn’t, and the internet goes down again within hours, usually in the evening when I presume there’s high usage. We’re in a loop - report issue, told issue is resolved, issue happens again.

  • chrisorman
    Chris Orman (@chrisorman) reported from Bradley Stoke, England

    Just spoken to @virginmedia customer services about red light on my hub. They GUARANTEED that the light will revert to white in the next 24 hours. Wonder what happen if their guarantee fails?

  • neilcairns
    Neil Cairns (@neilcairns) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia @EGX virginmedia where can I email to complain? My VirginMedia Box won’t let me delete a number of things and my Internet is patchy at best! £83 a month for this ****? Every time you call you people you’re on hold or cut off!

  • chrisorman
    Chris Orman (@chrisorman) reported from Bradley Stoke, England

    @virginmedia Tried to send you a WhatsApp message but got the following message back: "Thanks for choosing to Message us today. We don’t have availability to accept any more messages for faults at the current time." Why is getting help so difficult?

    Al (@algro10) reported from Clevedon, England

    @stewartcarter6 Appears it’s a Virgin media issue , shambles

  • MTurnerNFL
    Matthew Turner (@MTurnerNFL) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Even if everything is replaced. Box, entire cabling, whatever. I'm not getting the service that I pay for, over an extended period of time.

  • craigcapes
    Craig Capel (@craigcapes) reported from Bristol, England

    The £ gleaned by both @virginmedia and @SkySports in making it difficult for fee/ subscription paying members to watch “each others” content must clearly outweigh the customer service calls and complaints 🤬

  • RajnishRazdan
    Rajnish Razdan (@RajnishRazdan) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia it’s amazing isn’t it - you never pick up calls or cut me off so I go to your site to change my package as you’re charging me for things I don’t have and amazingly your live chat button doesn’t work either.

  • 1Joshwa
    🚑🌈Josh 🇪🇺👨‍⚕️ (@1Joshwa) reported from Bristol, England

    So why is it impossible to speak to a real person at @virginmedia ? Live chat is down, phone leads to a system test then hangs up. I just want to speak to someone 😩 #virginmedia

  • leedumble
    Lee (@leedumble) reported from Avonmouth, England

    @virginmedia why do I’ve over pay for my services that you can’t deliver customer service joke keep reading off a card no help what do ever what clown do I need to speak to . @SkyHelpTeam might be a able to help £144 a month and still not able to watch i player internet slow😡

  • garethbalmer
    Gareth Balmer (@garethbalmer) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia All good now - there were some power issues in another part of Gloucester that seemed to be causing the V6 box at our house and a few friends to restart. Very odd

  • RosemaryJaneFo1
    Rosemary Jane Fox (@RosemaryJaneFo1) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia #rude #badservice Had Virgin broadband installed just to discover a better deal on money supermarket. Contacted them to ask if they would honour it and was refused point blank, told not to complain, wouldn’t put me through to the boss and wouldn’t give her name.

  • gingermurkin
    Alexandra Powell (@gingermurkin) reported from Patchway, England

    @virginmedia Issue with virgin mobiles not accepting incoming calls, going straight to voicemail. Was told this would be resolved last night but still not working. Any resolution ETA??

  • thisisryanc
    Ryan Carrington (@thisisryanc) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Constantly drops out, coupled with frequently slow speeds. Price increases for a worsening service.

  • derbypascal

    @virginmedia The service checker just says its down but doesn't tell me what's going on.

    @virginmedia Why are internet services down AGAIN in #E17? Your service is utter rubbish!

  • formerprisoner_
    Reformed Prisoner (@formerprisoner_) reported

    . @virginmedia are the most useless, care-less, let down of a company in existence. If you are considering going with them for broadband. Please don’t. Their technicians do half a job, cancel a thousand times and their customer support is outsourced to some foreign country.

  • SuttonRed
    Sarah Thompson (@SuttonRed) reported

    @virginmedia please can you help. Trying to pair a 360 remote with a new TCL SF560 tv but the volume buttons don’t work yet all other functions on the remote do. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Trying to sort this for my 70 year old mum and going slightly mad. Thanks.

    Patrick McNamara (@PaddyMc_06) reported

    @virginmedia I’m trying to get ahold of you but your phone service is on a loop. Tell me why you have not carried over my parents landline of over 40 years as requested and confimed. This needs to be fixed ASAP for very impotent specific reasons. Please get in touch to sort this!

  • AlloquiStrix
    Alloqui Strix (@AlloquiStrix) reported

    @virginmedia Estimated times were given on Thursday as 17th to fix. Friday 10th at 8am it said 18.00 on that day. 20 mins later it said 17th again. You need to sort out the messaging. I'm burning through my mobile data as a result of your self inflicted outage (it was an upgrade I was told

    simon bennett (@felixeemopener) reported

    @virginmedia This is the same service I use every Saturday and bank holiday that tells me there’s an intermittent signal in my area. Rather than send me links like this, how about fixing the issue?
