  • TobyOsborne1 Toby Osborne (@TobyOsborne1) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia I spoke to a rude adviser who said they’d escalate it. However my pac code has already been swapped out and there was no urgency. I am now waiting in the hope that someone else doesn’t get control of my phone

    @virginmobileuk @virginmedia hi I ordered a phone on the 29 July not heard anything until yesterday then order was done but no credit agreement received phone call to you again for an hour today no resolution call handler said he would call back still no call 😩

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

    @virginmedia The only issue I have with that is that every time I contact that number, the following happens: 1) I explain the issue, again 2) they advise me to follow the steps as are online, again, that I've already done, even though I say I've done them 3) they ask me to monitor 1/2

  • derbypascal Derby Pascal (@derbypascal) reported from Bristol, England

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

  • tinabadley Tina Badley (@tinabadley) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia is everything down in BS1? Trying to work and can't send any emails 🙄

  • 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.

  • ruthcottz Ruth Cottingham💙 (@ruthcottz) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia no Internet in BS16 1DY. I called 150. Your recorded message says service out until 3pm, as you're "working to improve services" in this area. Why didn't you tell us before?!

  • enzo_faulhaber Enzo Faulhaber (@enzo_faulhaber) reported from Yate, England

    @virginmedia running with some issue with some of your staff member. As they promise me to Install a broadband at my house but now ignore 🧐

  • Yippers Amy (@Yippers) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Email to say it was resolved by offer of an apology which I never accepted so I called customer services who offered the credit of overpayment onto my account which I’m still waiting for.

  • AngelMel2017 AngelMelSelector (@AngelMel2017) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Thank you for your reply. He told me that the cheque had not been activated when I first called 5th June. I was told it would be sent out via check. He told me today it would take a further 2/3 weeks. Sadly was no help at all. 😒😥

  • ShanahanMary Mary Shanahan (@ShanahanMary) reported from Bristol, England

    Not happy with @virginmedia paying £70 a month for tv/(which is awful) internet and landline - want to delete tv still (£61) - internet drops out all the time exit fees would be £240 anyone else find them extortionate for poor service?

  • TobyOsborne1 Toby Osborne (@TobyOsborne1) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia As early as possible before whoever does this manages to help themselves to my money like last time

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

    @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.

  • derbypascal Derby Pascal (@derbypascal) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia I'm not sure what you mean, I literally have no signal or mobile data, hundreds of people are in the same position. And others with EE and Three are also down in this area but no one knows why...

  • Andrea_Buffery Andrea Buffery (@Andrea_Buffery) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia is there an outage problem in BS8 (Bristol)? We’ve lost the internet and TV connection.

  • AngelMel2017 AngelMelSelector (@AngelMel2017) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Hello, following on from my tweet regarding complaint of not receiving my credit refund. I have not heard back from the complaints team. What's the best way to proceed? Thanks

  • 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!

  • AngelMel2017 AngelMelSelector (@AngelMel2017) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia I'm disappointed with the service I have received. Finally ended my contract, claimed my credit refund only for it still not arrive 6weeks later. Called call centre & was told I'd have to wait 2/3 more weeks. Why? Its unacceptable to have to wait so long. #complaint

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

    @virginmedia Hi there, the engineer came round but it hasn't fixed the issues. It's dropped 4 times now in the last hour, despite me doing a full reset. It's completely unusable. Please help!!

  • MarvelBeasty Marvelbeast (@MarvelBeasty) reported

    @virginmedia I need help with my email address on my account. You have an old email address but you are still sending important information to a closed email account.

  • thompslydia Lydia TC (@thompslydia) reported

    @virginmedia as mentioned several times, I’ve already spent time to raise my issues via email and expect a response via email

  • EsmeCreative ESME Creative (@EsmeCreative) reported

    @MrsGormanEYFS @virginmedia Keep hearing people with no end of issues with them.

  • GordonTweetz Ashley Gordon (@GordonTweetz) reported

    @virginmedia I am officially at the end of my tether. I’ve been in my new house for 2 weeks and I’ve had issues with my broadband every day. Who can urgently look into this matter?

  • BethanCollins7 Bethan Collins (@BethanCollins7) reported

    @virginmedia seems to have cut our phone off completely, & when we go online to fix it we're told we have to phone them... Anyone else see the issue here?

  • jms_jns James (@jms_jns) reported

    @virginmedia Been with you guys for a week and already having outages, network drops and my speed has been halved!? Why am I paying for this?

  • MrSpleen5 MrSpleen (@MrSpleen5) reported

    @virginmedia The errors have cleared for the moment. Testing earlier recommended an engineer. My wife has booked an appointment for after 16:00 on Tuesday. If the system behaves itself between now and then we'll cancel the appointment.

  • saiyyadhass Saiyyad 🍁 🇵🇸 (@saiyyadhass) reported

    @virginmedia this internet goes down everyday

  • The_Irishkieran Kieran (@The_Irishkieran) reported

    The clubs/FAI will lie down and accept this bullshit, as usual. Clearing up the costs around the WatchLOI service should be a priority for clubs (how much did RTE spend ?) Hopefully the FAI can convince Virgin Media to do a highlights show. They might care and do a better job.

  • johnmackay23 John Mackay (@johnmackay23) reported

    @virginmedia called your call centre this evening with an issue and after putting me on hold for 5 minutes they conveniently dropped my call knowing that it would be closed when I tried to call back. No attempt to call me back. Absolutely shocking service!
