  • TerryBpne Crazy Corner (@TerryBpne) reported from Walton le Dale, England

    @virginmedia Don't really want to waste another hour of my life calling back yet again! Already wasted 2 hrs was given a 'direct" number which no-one answered. Call centre can't help or understand problem. What is the point? Do U get reimbursement for all the inconvenience @virginmedia ?

  • Kellkat77 Kelly Thorley (@Kellkat77) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia on hold with Virgin Mobile over 1 hour only to be cut off, no decency to even call me back? Spent over 4 hours in the week holding for Virgin Media to be cut off twice! Again no call backs? Appreciate waiting times are longer but this is appalling service. Fewming 🤬

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

    @virginmedia Thought it was tough to connect to someone on phone (57 mins wait) and another 36 mins convincing your helpdesk colleague that there is a problem - they sent someone within 12 hours to check and that talented technician found and fixed the issue in 20 mins.. all sorted !! 👍🏻👍🏻

  • nathangreen101 Nathan (@nathangreen101) reported from Salford, England

    WiFi is down. I repeat, my WiFi is down @virginmedia though service checker website says no faults....

  • dnumberwang Dennis (@dnumberwang) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia is there a broadband outage in M33?

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

    @virginmedia is there anything wrong with your services in Altrincham area? It’s been 36 hours of intermittent issues with broadband (fiber). Service status says everything is fine but laptops and phones are dropping off connections..

  • ianlumsden Ian Lumsden (@ianlumsden) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia I have been trying to get through to customer service for the past two days, the call is usually immediately rejected or I am told the call waiting time is an hour. I have had enough and as soon as I get through I am cancelling my account. 😡

  • TerryBpne Crazy Corner (@TerryBpne) reported from Walton le Dale, England

    @Sedds_lep @virginmedia Did you get help Dave? Tried 3 times and made an email complaint to @virginmedia - 28 days for a reply! Got a new V Box for second room, won't connect or verify. 3 hrs wasted on phone. What worked? I've given up...

  • MarieHardman13 Marie Hardman (@MarieHardman13) reported from Clayton-le-Woods, England

    @virginmedia is is anyone else having problems contacting Virgin media? The telephone 150 is engaged all the time and I can't get through to anyone online.

  • AngWaterhouse Angela Waterhouse (@AngWaterhouse) reported from Euxton, England

    @virginmedia I can’t get through by phone-landline or mobile. Are all your phone lines down? #virginmediadown

  • outspokenoneuk Marc Lloyd (@outspokenoneuk) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia How about I just pay when you fix all the issues? I’m sure that if I don’t fulfil my terms of the contract regards to payment you will disconnect me but you are ok to not provide me with internet or TV services that I pay for

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

    @virginmedia No you’re alright,, literally the worst internet provider I’ve ever come across, will be leaving and moving to Sky tomorrow

  • GeorgiaOHarax Georgia O'Hara (@GeorgiaOHarax) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia I can’t do my job without them fixing something yet I’ve called everyday to be spoken to like **** and being put on hold for over 2 hours each time

  • teesh69 ✨$ERENA✨ (@teesh69) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Thank you, but there is no point. I’ve spoken to 6 people who have all either lied or said they can’t help. Would be grateful to know why your company records calls but then refuses to listen to them though? Thanks

  • Weirdyweirdtwit Simon Ritchie (@Weirdyweirdtwit) reported from Manchester, England

    Oh @virginmedia yesterday I upgraded my broadband speed for the kids & I to WFH effectively (double what it was) & sure enuff it’s now not working at all 😡 & been on hold 20 mins plus to a special tech line you bundled in for me ... kids next lesson in 10 mins!

  • GeorgiaOHarax Georgia O'Hara (@GeorgiaOHarax) reported from Wigan, England

    NEVER NEVER NEVER JOIN @virginmedia

  • unlovedlongsigh Phil Samphire (@unlovedlongsigh) reported from Manchester, England

    @RabnawazA @virginmedia Yes my partners zoom meetings crash even though we got a 300 Mb line the Wi-Fi signal is not that great and we got boosters what we tend to do is use mobile data for the rest of us but we are in the fortunate situation that we can

  • outspokenoneuk Marc Lloyd (@outspokenoneuk) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia I’ve got 3 separate issues! Nobody cares, I can’t use live chat coz that Isn’t working either! I’ve not had a stable connection for 24 hours, when it’s normally working I have to sit next to the router because the range is like 20 cm so I can’t use internet in any other room

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

    @virginmedia Do you not understand it is absolutely nothing to do with speed? It's the constant outages! Pretty easy to work out how that is useless to me. Also, yet another outage with fix time tomorrow. Pls don't reply with another useless generic response as they are no help at all.

  • outspokenoneuk Marc Lloyd (@outspokenoneuk) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia are honestly useless! Rang with the same issue I think 12 times each time they tell me there isn’t an issue, like I’ve got time to ring and tell them issues that aren’t there! I’m tempted to just cancel my direct debit and go to sky

  • CoralineParsons Caroline Parsons (@CoralineParsons) reported

    @virginmedia Putting my prices up, I want it back down to what I was paying one guy said they would then went he went to. It cut out.

  • MichaelEdmonst4 Michael Edmonston (@MichaelEdmonst4) reported

    @virginmedia Do you have an email address for billing issues for former customers from 6 months ago? A call from an advisor was expected yesterday but didn't materialise

  • christieround Christie Round (@christieround) reported

    @virginmedia how long is your cool off period after signing up? My wifi goes down everyday

  • markmcfad7 Mark McFadden (@markmcfad7) reported

    @virginmedia The number keeps repeating the same questions I've answered and doesn't put me through to speak to anyone. I'm not call again to wait over 30 minutes for someone to cut me off as they don't want to deal with the problem

  • LH__1992 Luke H (@LH__1992) reported

    @mitchec1 @SkyUK @virginmedia Good luck. My internet randomly cuts out 5-6 times a day. An engineer came out and said I need a new router. They didn’t send one so I put a complaint in. They keep emailing me to say they’ve called when they haven’t. Joke company.

  • JVickeryUK James Vickery (@JVickeryUK) reported

    @virginmedia Not the greatest first impression I must say - left Virgin a decade ago due to issues like this, thought they may have been ironed out by now...

  • BoxmadPlant Canvasmadness 🌐 (@BoxmadPlant) reported

    @virginmedia Dropouts overall bad connection on games. Awful even with ethernet cables and with WiFi pretty much pointless trying to go online and game

  • victorivanuxd Victor Ivan (@victorivanuxd) reported

    @virginmedia Is it company policy for engineers to offeer to do impromptu fixes for cash? We were told by your engineers that we're attending next door earlier today that it would cost us 100 pounds if we went to customer service for help. To fix an issue that we didn't cause.

  • torp771 torp77 (@torp771) reported

    @mitchec1 @SkyUK @virginmedia Poor you, their internet is always dropping out and customer service is appalling

  • JNH77 James Harrison (@JNH77) reported

    @virginmedia Responses aren’t immediate? My initial complaint arose because I couldn’t get hold of anyone for weeks. I recognise we’re in abnormal times but the customer service I endured was utterly appalling. I had to email your CEO’s office to get any kind of acknowledgment.
