  • Bolt100Wands boltonbwfc (@Bolt100Wands) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia an absolute disgrace all night the pixelating of every channel on our boxes plus all Bolton the same! Service Status saying nothing wrong! Sort it Virgin! We pay for a service!

  • Shinpad11 Mackie 🇪🇺🌹☘️🇸🇱 (@Shinpad11) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia yet another day blighted with intermittent connection. What on earth is happening with your broadband service? Woeful. #Wigan

  • JoeHolmes1994 Joe (@JoeHolmes1994) reported from Leigh, England

    @virginmedia I need to cancel a engineer appointment for Wednesday. I’ve already been on the phone 40 minutes and I’m not waiting any longer especially after being told ‘we’ll prioritise you’. Please cancel it otherwise it’s a pointless trip for your engineer

  • Josh_Deegan Josh Deegan 💙 (@Josh_Deegan) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Guys, this is happening again today and is worse than its ever been. There HAS to be something wrong with either the router or the cable, as I've done everything in my power to fix it. This is making my job impossible to do and I'm suffering with falling behind because of it

  • josie_allan Jo Mclaughlin (@josie_allan) reported from Horwich, England

    I’m not sure how we could overcome WIFI access but surely there is a way that friendly bods @SkyUK @virginmedia could support to stop children missing out on remote teaching - digital poverty sucks

  • Josh_Deegan Josh Deegan (@Josh_Deegan) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia For months and months on end my WiFi has been in and out like the hokey bloody cokey. I've downloaded the signal check app and it tells me signal is great when it's clearly not. Trying my best to work from home but this is causing me unwelcome stress.

  • Bolt100Wands boltonbwfc (@Bolt100Wands) reported from Bolton, England

    Once again @virginmedia tried to ring you but your customer care is shocking. I know of over 100 people plus in the Bolton area with continuing pixelating on ur TV Service which means you cannot watch TV! This needs sorting ASAP! Shocking service and unacceptable with what I pay!

  • Josh_Deegan Josh Deegan 💙 (@Josh_Deegan) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Yep. Checked all that, used the app and it says everything is great. I called the customer service line yesterday and it said it needed to send something down the line but nothing happened.

  • wilsonbecks1 Rebecca Wilson 🌈 (@wilsonbecks1) reported from Bolton, England

    I would be grateful if someone from customer services at @virginmedia could contact me regarding the lack of service received since moving over to @virginmedia

  • MrMcSmee Martin McGovern (@MrMcSmee) reported from Manchester, England

    Virgin broadband down yet again! 4 months of the absolute worst service I've ever endured. Yet @virginmedia expect me to continue with them on the day of a massive price increase. I'd phone them, but don't really care for waiting an hour to get through for the 20th time #Yay2021

  • ThisMorningCall Ben Heyworth 😷 (@ThisMorningCall) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Well it’s just gone down again!!!! 🤬🤬

  • PhilCampbell_ Phil Campbell (@PhilCampbell_) reported from Manchester, England

    Note to everyone....never join @virginmedia on an offer. scamming bastards! 🤬

  • GeoffJonners Geoff Johnson (@GeoffJonners) reported from Bolton, England

    Any chance you can sort this picture issue out @virginmedia

  • MrMcSmee Martin McGovern (@MrMcSmee) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Thank you for pointing out what I already knew about my contract. Do you not have a response in relation to the actual issue?... The shocking service, & the obvious reason why an unhappy customer lacks any real desire to continue being a customer? Irregardless of the increase.

  • jonnybarnes Jonny Barnes (@jonnybarnes) reported from Whitefield, England

    Poor TV signal with @virginmedia at the moment, at least the internet seems to be okay

  • LiamRLaverick Liam Laverick (@LiamRLaverick) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia literally THE worst internet provider. Nothing but trouble since we switched from Sky. Engineers been out twice and still losing connection constantly. Had to turn off the WIFI to even tweet this 😡

  • Shigufta1 Shigufta khan (@Shigufta1) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia Problems with my TV very frustrating not being able to speak to anyone. For a communication provider the service being offered is not acceptable

  • Dazmac1882 Daz Mckavett (@Dazmac1882) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia Came back on early hours this morning but it's been awful for a while, same as the rest of my family I'll be leaving without a cancellation fee tomorrow

  • mallen_87 Matt Allen 🔶 (@mallen_87) reported from Horwich, England

    @virginmedia I would like to cancel my services with you. When I go online to do this I’m directed to call in. When I call in the IVR directs me online. Can you help?

    @virginmedia I’m more concerned with making sure it stays on for like even a whole week. It’s just been in and out constantly this week so would like to understand thd underlying problem and the date when it’ll be fixed for good

  • mark_2058 Mark (@mark_2058) reported

    @virginmedia I’m trying to switch to eBilling. The help section isn’t particularly helpful unfortunately. My account setting seems to suggest I have it enabled but I still get sent a paper bill. Can you help save some 🌲🌲🌳🌲🌳

  • cryptopaul134 Paulk (@cryptopaul134) reported

    @virginmedia my connection at home dropping and reconnecting 50+ in 8-9 working hours for the last 3months. Checking service status online for last 3 months "engineer's are working on the issue". How long will this last more? How to help? = Fix ASAP, not in 3months and no results

  • 1lifeliveitnow Dino (@1lifeliveitnow) reported

    @virginmedia @Rebecca40781849 I want to complain too, I have just left sky and joined virgin that included the 02 deal and I have had no service ever since and 02 do not help. Is there anyway virgin can talk to them as I am not happy living with no mobile.

  • kaffachino kat (@kaffachino) reported
