  • cpiyush Piyush Chechani (@cpiyush) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia I got text update at 3:13 pm that service is restored; observing intermittent issues connecting to internet since then.. now the service status shows no fault but certainly there is some.

  • ShevingtonShark SHEVINGTON SHARKS (@ShevingtonShark) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia Yes, nearly 48 hrs now. What is the issue? I work from home, and currently unable to do so🤬🤬🤬

  • simonhunter87 Simon Hunter 🇪🇺 🚲 ☮️ 🥗🐈🐄🐒🐀 🏳️‍🌈 (@simonhunter87) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia why are your fibre upload speeds so slow? 10mbps upload on a 109mbps download speed? Sky and BT and others offer 20mbps download speed on their 67mbps download speeds.Please review this as when 2 people are working from home on video calls 10mbps up isn't fast enough

  • Aldonn_ AlexOD (@Aldonn_) reported from Manchester, England

    Thanks @virginmedia for going down in the North West bang on 9am when I'm working from home...

  • MancLorenzo Lorenzo 🇲🇹🇬🇧🇮🇪😷 (@MancLorenzo) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia Internet is down. Your hotlines say there’s a “complex issue in SK4 area” and always say “should be back online soon”. It’s been 2 whole days! #whatsgoingon

  • Knitswithbeer knitswithbeer🐝🏳️‍🌈Stay Home (@Knitswithbeer) reported from Euxton, England

    It seems my @virginmedia goes down on a weekly basis at the moment. Usually on my days off...🤬

  • ConnorJUnsworth Connor Unsworth (@ConnorJUnsworth) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia finally after 1:10 mins on the phone. We have a possible resolution. Whilst the tech on the line was very apologetic and helpful, the waiting, lack of response and overall service is appalling.

  • Nicole_Baker NicoleMichelleBaker (@Nicole_Baker) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England

    @VirginMediaCorp @virginmedia please contact me, it is imperative that you do. I have received zero customer service from you for a service I pay over £600 a year for. I would like your retention and technical team to make contact asap.

  • Flanagan1Simon Simon Flanagan (@Flanagan1Simon) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia why send texts to customers saying the problem with your broadband is resolved when it obviously isn’t! Left hand, right hand, you know the rest #overpromisemassivelyunderdeliver

  • MrsFrisk Alex Fusco (@MrsFrisk) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia I've tried the customer service number 15 times this morning and it isn't connecting. The call just ends. I'm also worried you'll say you can't speak to me. I have a letter of authority but I can't be in my friend's house to call you while he's there due to Covid restrictions

  • Nicole_Baker NicoleMichelleBaker (@Nicole_Baker) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England

    @virginmedia Then was told a booster would be delivered that never arrived. So when I called back it hadn't actually been ordered. I finally received it yesterday but am still waiting for a call back following a complaint I made and the charges I am not willing to pay for the booster.

  • Nicole_Baker NicoleMichelleBaker (@Nicole_Baker) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England

    @virginmedia still holding 1:24 mins later. Your customer services are shocking

  • RicMichael Ric Michael (@RicMichael) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Still awful. No ones got back to me and the wifi is crumbling

  • reg14reg Nick Poynton (@reg14reg) reported from Bolton, England

    Hi at @virginmedia do you have a contact email address for complaints. Your internet service over the past month has been absolutely awful! Pay for 350mb broadband and currently at the moment having it drop maybe 10-15 times a day and lose all connections.

  • amh_910 alex (@amh_910) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia your service is horrific, whys my phone still coming as "parked"

  • Nicole_Baker NicoleMichelleBaker (@Nicole_Baker) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England

    @virginmedia I've spent three hours over two calls waiting for you to confirm a discount on my below standard broadband and to deliver a booster. I have had to escalate a complaint as it couldn't be resolved on the phone yet I'm still waiting for the level of service promised!!!

  • Nicole_Baker NicoleMichelleBaker (@Nicole_Baker) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England

    @virginmedia I've been passed from pillar to post and I'm.not getting any answers. Can you contact me or cancely service

  • ShevingtonShark SHEVINGTON SHARKS (@ShevingtonShark) reported from Shevington, England

    @virginmedia we have NO Internet at WN6 8BQ ALL DAY. This is very, very poor. What is the problem??

  • timmarner Tim Marner™ (@timmarner) reported from Bolton, England

    @sitcomsoldiers @virginmedia I’m hoping they apologise and give some compensation but not holding my breath mate, what a serious waste of time their customer service is.

  • dgzipit David Gould (@dgzipit) reported

    Can @NetflixUK please fix their bug that identified @virginmedia WiFi routers as VPNs and then blocks the IP address. Sounds like a failed IT implementation that needs to be rolled back until it's professionally tested.

  • Traceymichell28 Tracey j (@Traceymichell28) reported

    @virginmedia This is all BS,there's a fault in the area they are obviously not bothering to repair,they keep changing the time it will be ready and it never is,you have no customer service or any answer,your only reply is from Pakistan and obviously they know nothing about the problem!

  • settolove86 M 💙 (@settolove86) reported

    @virginmedia Both are now not possible as our service is still out.

  • RH_1985 BlazeBlock3Rach 💙🐲 (@RH_1985) reported

    @aliusbatus @virginmedia My folks left them for that reason. No reward for customer loyalty.

  • Codingwolf Codewolf (@Codingwolf) reported

    @virginmedia you have now failed to apply a discount to my account that you have promised me 2 months in a row after mis-selling me a service at the setup of the account. If you don't sort it out I will be taking it up with the ombudsman. Not happy. 😑

  • lincoll67 Linda Collett (@lincoll67) reported

    @virginmedia Spoken to a female customer service rep, very helpful. Now appears to be sorted & the problem was exactly what I've been telling the other reps for the last 2 days - hadn't been activated your end!

  • pjextra Paul Jackson (@pjextra) reported

    @virginmedia really showing the love for customers.. a £10 credit to compensate for an ongoing network fault since 14th Jan, that they say won’t be fixed until at least 7th Feb, and that’s made broadband useable most days. I mean I’m just blown away by the love.

  • vish979 Vishal Raja (@vish979) reported

    @virginmedia how can I make a complaint. I was promised no changes to my service and renegotiated a new contract at 76 pounds and I got an email advising changes and removals I didn’t agree to. This was the third time i spoke to virgin and you got it wrong again.

  • Traceymichell28 Tracey j (@Traceymichell28) reported

    @virginmedia So a day and a half without any service,or any help and communication,if you're thinking of installing Virgin media, think again!

  • cottonsox34 Gary Cotton (@cottonsox34) reported

    @virginmedia I was also told the resets might take 30 mins to start working properly. I have asked for a call back from a supervisor but was told they are going to tell me the same thing and you will not upgrade my router. I hope this won’t be the case as I will just cancel my contract.
