  • peepers1970 PB80'squeen (@peepers1970) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Virgin generously said if I pay nearly £150 I can leave! I declined.. although i would have the £2 offered as compensation but I think I'll spend that on half a starbucks. I'll wait till my contract is up & im free. sky from what i can gather will be gaining shit loads of peeps!

  • peepers1970 PB80'squeen (@peepers1970) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Nope.. i was told as its an outage fault which only effects a few addresses in my area. It doesn't show on a general test. Cant get an answer from anyone at virgin as to when it will be sorted. Its becoming a joke now.

  • JamesRead78 James Read (@JamesRead78) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia need to chat with someone about lowering my bill £100 per month is getting ridiculous! Tried using the chat function on the app but it's not working

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

    @virginmedia Absolute lag every game every night, and it's getting worse, I tried to explain to the support lady on my PC I get 350mbps on my console I get 600mbps something not right there, it took me 1 hour to get through to support on the phone and I'm not being spoken to like that!!!

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

    @virginmedia I need to quit now this is taking the pi$$, I'm not interested in your fast speeds anymore, not going to phone your support and wait for an hour to be told you don't support Xbox or any console when that is what you should be about "BROADBAND PROVIDER" it's in the title...

  • Kimbow21 kimberley Goodinson (@Kimbow21) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia I’m disgusted I’ve been a customer for 15 years and more . You’ve put the price up by £20. The very unhelpful person on the phone offered me a £2 discount . Disgusting back to Sky .

  • cudda69 Denis Cudahy (@cudda69) reported from Horwich, England

    @virginmedia absolute joke cancelled my contract beginning August because of issues ever since its been installed, looked at at my bill I'm still being charged, all equipment in a box so it's not used you have signed me up again for 12 month WTF #jokers

  • peepers1970 PB80'squeen (@peepers1970) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Be honest.. you couldn't care less if this has been sorted. No shits given for customers. Gonna have a word with Martin Lewis.. now he knows his shit..

  • OggyGhost Oggy The Ghost (@OggyGhost) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia what is going on with the broadband service it went down and wouldn’t connect I hard reset the Hub and it won’t connect at all & keeps resetting itself and starting the reconnecting process again it’s been doing it for half an hour now

  • Eurovisioned Alec Parkin (@Eurovisioned) reported from Manchester, England

    Two months to respond to my complaint @virginmedia. Two whole months. Still no resolution. Shameful.

  • BeStrongBolton Be Strong Daz (@BeStrongBolton) reported from Bolton, England

  • WiganpierprAnne Wiganpierpromo (@WiganpierprAnne) reported from Wrightington, England

    @virginmedia I am appalled at the customer service. Trying obtain my last bill from 3 months ago. Can’t be done!!account closed. They never sent packaging to send router back after 3 phone calls I gave up but got charged for it.

  • peepers1970 PB80'squeen (@peepers1970) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia 40 mins waiting speak to someone re cancelling. You offer me £2 as compensation for having no tv for 8 days!!!! Seriously! Absolutely disgusting. A total sham of a company. Disgusting customer service.

  • peepers1970 PB80'squeen (@peepers1970) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia so amyone know when outage problem will be sorted. Now on day 4 no tv.

  • LauraR1707 Laura (@LauraR1707) reported from Bury, England

    @virginmedia Yes the service page says there’s no fault but when I ring 150 it says there is a fault - confused🤔

  • clk_85 claire kenyon (@clk_85) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia I haven’t yet unfortunately we are still in contract with sky- but after their recent diabolical customer service, we will be in touch once our contract ends

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

    @virginmedia Had to wait on phone for 1 hour tonight to get the rudest support ever, I had to hang up on her, seriously garbage hub 3 for gaming, I need to quit @virginmedia get an internet that supports console gaming, unlike this crap.👎👎

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

    @virginmedia Wired, wireless, modem, mode, ports open, dmz, upnp, open nat, every thing right, but the router he support said last night the router might be incompatible and that isn't a good sign.

  • KevinFa34262602 Kevin Fallon (@KevinFa34262602) reported from Middleton, England

    @virginmedia hands down worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. Will be leaving as soon as our contract ends 😡🤬

  • Kimbow21 Mrs K E (@Kimbow21) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia I’m not bothered now we have left . The guy who answered the phone couldn’t be less interested . Every thing he was saying was on a card . He was very un professional and didn’t understand English fully . So he can’t be bothered to help I can’t be bothered .

  • Agwadoris Okeh Agwa (@Agwadoris) reported

    @virginmedia I have had the worst experience with your team. How long does it take to complete a moving home request? I have been calling for 2 weeks just to get an engineer's appointment.

  • Vivh74 Vivh (@Vivh74) reported

    @virginmedia They have not got back in touch via text, tho it was received by yourselves on 28th Mar. I've now written & posted it. Pointless having these additional contact methods. Service in our area really poor, despite frequent info about speeds. At £63 ish we're not staying!

  • Grayson_91 Charlotte Winter (@Grayson_91) reported

    @virginmedia Hello, no there is no issues. But like I say when I’m on YouTube it seems to play the video I’m watching for about 5/10 minutes then just completely loses signal and doesn’t come back. This has been happening for a couple weeks now

  • DarrenStrutt Darren Strutt (@DarrenStrutt) reported

  • FarishLakhani Farish Lakhani (@FarishLakhani) reported

    @virginmedia So via the forum they can help more then over the phone? That sounds like a cop out

  • JamieSykes3 Jamie Sykes (@JamieSykes3) reported

    @virginmedia Me leaving virgin media because your service is **** and I keep getting drop outs and your staff are rude and don’t actually communicate between themselves and I end up getting swore at by a member of your staff
