  • allensmith566 Allen Smith (@allensmith566) reported from Bolton, England

    Properly raining. I hope my @virginmedia engineer can sail through and fix my TiVo box 🌧

  • Alison_hh Alison Hesketh-Holt (@Alison_hh) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Media. I've never experienced such awful customer service in all my life!! If this isn't resolved I will be going to the national press. It seems a lot of people are experiencing the same problem. Your company should be ashamed of themselves!

  • springviewer John Edgar (@springviewer) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia strange I read all the posts about Virgin customers ringing up about cancelling services and Virgin offering them a better deal however I ring up and cancel a service with no trouble at all, not even offering a lower price, your loss #virginmedia

  • allensmith566 Allen Smith (@allensmith566) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Engineer came and replaced my box. Excellent service and I am a happy customer 👍

  • lesley_win Lesley Wintle (@lesley_win) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia You need to keep your service status page updated. I checked that first, no issues apparently, then did the 10 min test, still not working so contacted you to be told there's a fault - very frustrating to be told to check the service status but it's incorrect!

  • PelosiSte SP (@PelosiSte) reported from Stockport, England

    @SkyHelpTeam it’s a bit of rain, yet my tv has gone off. Amateurs, never happened with @virginmedia

  • Alison_hh Alison Hesketh-Holt (@Alison_hh) reported from Leyland, England

    Absoloutley disgusted with @virginmedia been on hold for 2 hours - I'm an existing customer and one agent has hung on me!!! I want to discuss my existing contract with them. How the hell are you supposed to speak to the complaints department or a manager in charge!

  • adamconlon2013 independent media wolves Manchester (@adamconlon2013) reported from Middleton, England

    @virginmedia Given up getting through but im gonna be ringing customer services in the morning demanding compensation

  • Bhadane_Sonal Sonal Bhadane (@Bhadane_Sonal) reported from Salford, England

    It took 1.5 hours to get hold of a @virginmedia tech .And no resolution with broadband box. So if you call a sales line 100s are ready to sell you the products but once you are their customer it’s of no value how they treat you ! @VirginMediaNews Happy Sunday 😀

  • Nw38Wilson nick Wilson (@Nw38Wilson) reported from Rochdale, England

    @virginmedia good morning can someone from resolution team reactivate my service and wipe clear the balance on my account as I was mis sold the broadband in the first place which you haven't apologised for but will give a chance to u goodwill gesture clear account start afresh

  • SheridanAlcock Shez 🐾 Ⓥ (@SheridanAlcock) reported from Manchester, England

    Day 2... No services from Virgin Media! Still fixing the problem.. that's 2 days we are not paying for 😡😡

  • Alison_hh Alison Hesketh-Holt (@Alison_hh) reported from Manchester, England

    @mascotmike @virginmedia I'm fuming with them. I have never experienced such awful customer services in all my life. We're going to cancel with them and go to the national press if they can't prove the "so called phone call". I think half their customers have similar problems.

  • rach_griff RACH / ♡ 🐝 (@rach_griff) reported from Middleton, England

    Day 4 of Netflix not working on @virginmedia !!!

  • toewad1 toewad1 (@toewad1) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia The ping is to slow when gaming, on my PC I get 350meg DL, on my xb1x I get 550meg DL, I think it's throwing my gaming out, it's just not worth bothering playing to get hammered because of ping, lag, whatever it is.

  • Oh_Hello_Studio Sandy (@Oh_Hello_Studio) reported from Bury, England

    @virginmedia Yes, rebooted as per advice we receive every time 😒 We've experienced the same issue repeatedly since the "Intelligent Wi-Fi" upgrade. Repeated outages however status always reports that there is no issue.

  • lesley_win Lesley Wintle (@lesley_win) reported from Salford, England

    @tricky1966 @virginmedia 12th August is the estimated date for it to be fixed! Service status page duesnt show this at all! I have had to contact them today

  • lesley_win Lesley Wintle (@lesley_win) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia @tricky1966 I have this problem too - see my tweet. Your service status doesn't mention this fault - I have been informed by your messaging service it will be fixed by 12th August!!!! 4 days!!!

  • rossmitton84 Ross Mitton (@rossmitton84) reported from Bolton, England

    @David4Charnock @virginmedia Ha ha!! You’re getting help off my issue!! On hold for over an hour and live chat keeps disconnecting as no advisors are available!!

  • tjane44 Tracy.💗. &hubby.😍 x (@tjane44) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Rebooted, and been on services, says no problem but there is no Wi-Fi or phone..

  • DidymusBrush Paul Holmes (@DidymusBrush) reported from Manchester, England

    Recently moved from a city centre apartment to suburbia. Had to lose my ever reliable @Hyperoptic connection for a @virginmedia package. Been working from home a few days in the last fortnight and it just likes to randomly cut out for periods without reason. JOY.

    1hrs 17mn on hold with @virginmedia and counting - given my password 4 times - and just to get my TV working. Such bad value for money. Time for a change. Where to?

    @virginmedia after five years of custom you would rather me terminate my contract that provide me with the new router that you promised me as part of my new deal! Diabolical service!
