  • AckerHeron
    Tony (@AckerHeron) reported from Liverpool, England

    Hi @virginmedia, my dear old mum has been on the phone for 20 minutes because her broadband has gone down. Your advisors keep saying to reset the hub and disconnecting before it's sorted. Any ideas? Still using the crap one you sent years ago despite her recontracting

    Maureen StewartJones (@supergran22) reported from Eccleston, England

    @virginmedia I'm not sure this is the 3rd box. It's the one with the router in same room. Re advice remotely got message saying problem could not be solved.

    @virginmedia So I had loss of service but not complete even tho the service I had wasn't enough to even complete a 15 minute online training. Great. Even though you only have cold water, would you still get a bath? Nah don't think you would

  • CryptoDan2k
    CryptoDan2k (@CryptoDan2k) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia Yes, like previously said this is minimum of once, sometimes.twice weekly then I have to phone yous to split the signal again.

  • lurkinhead
    Martin Travis (@lurkinhead) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia Okay, but with respect, the problem is your call centre say different stuff every time, which inevitably bears no resemblance to reality. Later, VM deny those conversations ever took place and there is no written evidence to back up what was agreed. That's what I am after here?

  • SmithysMaud
    Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @jenwahkiddles @virginmedia Pity they didn’t do it for us, had no tv or broadband for over 3 months and can’t even get the compensation they owe us, plus the direct debits they took knowing we had total loss of service. Shambolic company.

  • supergran22
    Maureen StewartJones (@supergran22) reported from Eccleston, England

    @VirginMedia Received message. Now not accepting my email address. I have one only. My problem is with the remote control which is activated by pressing 2 buttons when they light up. Have had nothing but trouble with one remote for one TV. Your communication us not helpful.

  • Robertlfc_
    Rob (@Robertlfc_) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia just been took out of a game of fifa, that I was winning! Because of your awful internet. Get it fixed!!

    @virginmedia hello, issues with TV and WiFi in Liverpool L12 area this morning. No issues showing on the app. Tried all the usual stuff but still no connection.

  • les_murray71
    Lesley Murray (@les_murray71) reported from Wallasey, England

    @virginmedia Thats just an update to say they are dealing with the issue, people want to know what the issue was and why it is taking so long to repair, there is a continuous extension to repair time and your customers at least deserve detailed information

  • BootleFCBucks
    Bootle Bucks (@BootleFCBucks) reported from Liverpool, England

  • AndyMcK1982
    Andy McKeown (@AndyMcK1982) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia @virginhelp We have just signed up for a broadband/phone package. We were recommended by a friend. They never gave us a code though as they are a pensioner. We were told to simply give her details in but the operative would not accept. Can we still get a code after?

  • SmithysMaud
    Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia No, they just left. Rang your customer service they are now telling me the problem is internal. I’ve had no internet since July, no tv since August. It’s beyond a joke now. 5 visits I’ve had.

  • jgrailpics
    James (@jgrailpics) reported from Liverpool, England

    Completely pathetic useless company @virginmedia Every single day there's some sort of problem EVERY SINGLE DAY Can't wait til this contracts over, after that in a bit useless crap

  • SmithysMaud
    Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia 3 x engineer visits, each time telling me there’s a blockage. Why does nobody fix it? I can’t even get through to cancel my services and get a refund for the direct debits I’ve paid when I’ve had zero service.

    @IainSankey @virginmedia Interesting, this was going to be my move in October. I have never used the phone line and we don't watch any of the Virgin TV stuff. Was it really that hard to get just Broadband?

  • phil66uk
    Phil66 (@phil66uk) reported

    @virginmedia @alexand979677 And they don't take off anything if your service is down either

  • Jebsy40
    Jebsy (@Jebsy40) reported

    @colinmufc2 I have been kept on hold and passed around while trying to cancel out of contract services by peoole who don't understand that others have principles and can do without or pay more for better service. Some people just want change @VirginMedia, not 50 minutes of bs and retentions.

  • Ahwellnevermind
    JC (@Ahwellnevermind) reported

    @IainSankey @virginmedia They’ve been like it for years. Deliberately make it difficult for customers to leave. Terrible company

  • MickeyDN7
    (tez7n2) (@MickeyDN7) reported

    Hey @virginmedia and @SkySports do you want to give people a heads up about this weekend RED button matches not ******* working again while taking millions of pounds out of people's bank accounts for ******* **** service ? #Virgin #RedButton #Football

  • HathorsDaughter
    Sue Henderson 💙 (@HathorsDaughter) reported

    @IainSankey @virginmedia They're dreadful. When I enquired about social tariffs via their chat facility the agent spent ten minutes trying to add on extra fees. I decided then I'd never have anything to do with company which would exploit poor and disabled people. Enjoy your dinner and drinkies.

  • IainSankey
    Iain Sankey (@IainSankey) reported

    @TWO_Librans @virginmedia Yes, I am aware of the cancellation period, but it's a cheek, really. The problem with my landline was that I got constant nuisance calls on it all day long. I'd kept it for a few elderly relatives' sake, but they've all departed now, so I've disconnected it.

  • AlanRob68902430
    Alan Roberts (@AlanRob68902430) reported

    @TheAFC0522 @virginmedia Its grounds to terminate the contract folks you can save lots of money bining these leaches off

  • TWO_Librans
    Phil (@TWO_Librans) reported

    @IainSankey @virginmedia Yeah wouldn't let me downgrade only upgrade or keep the same, but like you I wanted to drop off landline phone service and save money, I had no trouble switching but be aware virgin require 30 days notice to cancel

    @virginmedia Again @virginmedia still hasn't fixed the problem regarding red button what a shambles
