  • Rex_Comms Terri (@Rex_Comms) reported from London, England

    Sad in these times when a friend is forced to move home because her mortgage company won’t help her & now @virginmedia are charging her well over £200 as a disconnection fee. To leave a home she doesn’t actually want to leave.

    .@virginmedia my Virgin TV Go app hasn’t worked in 2 months. No luck uninstalling and reinstalling it, nor when I called your tech support for help. Any ideas?

  • MrGarySmith Gary Brian Smith (@MrGarySmith) reported from Dartford, England

    Beware anyone thinking of joining @O2 they’ve just hiked up their rates and limited free data total usage when in Europe #ripoff also just merged with @virginmedia so expect the service to fall of a cliff when the call centres are rerouted to virgins Singapore call centres

  • MrGarySmith Gary Brian Smith (@MrGarySmith) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia We agreed after 2 years of slow service you’d upgrade my 2 TiVo boxes to V6 and bring 3 pods to cover dead zones agreed in Nov last year and after 3 missed appointments and you calling me 3 days to confirm the work to do & you still **** it up. #fuckwits

  • MrGarySmith Gary Brian Smith (@MrGarySmith) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia YOU USELESS #***** two years of problems, of no shows after no show, today was to be the day it was all sorted yet you manage to ***** up a simple install job. You confirmed to me what was to be installed yet the engineer wasn’t told! #fuckwits

  • emilymorgan_x Em💛 (@emilymorgan_x) reported from Basildon, England

    Can someone pls explain to me why @virginmedia wifi is so shockingly ****

  • citigirly lisa sibley (@citigirly) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Hi I called yesterday and was told my poor Internet connection is due to fault F009107079 even though this does not come up on the service status page? So I can’t track it and see when this will be fixed can you help?

  • feyipuk Phil (@feyipuk) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia Signal as a whole; router drops to less than 1kbps and remote IP changes like it's trying to reconnect. A power cycle seems to correct it but think I'll need some watchdog program and remote switch to do that if the signal drops and I'm away from the house.

  • tolu_____ Tolu (@tolu_____) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia How about just provide me a link to download the less than 10mb of pdf? Admin fee to provide a link or email a customer of over 3years? What have you offered me in return for the many times of INTERRUPTED service when I’ve had to turn to my mobile hotspot?

  • MrGarySmith Gary Brian Smith (@MrGarySmith) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia You keep sending me emails and texts confirming what we agreed which are wrong…still how many times can you get this wrong… for a communications company you sure are bad at it!

  • kec1964 Kate Crisp (@kec1964) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia hi I have 2 WiFi boosters that I’ve never used and would like to return them but can’t face hanging on for hours to speak to someone on your helpline. Is there an address you can give me?

  • MrGarySmith Gary Brian Smith (@MrGarySmith) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia **** knows? Can’t trust any appointments you make anyway... still waiting for her to phone back again 4th time lucky that she won’t cut me off again eh?

  • MrGarySmith Gary Brian Smith (@MrGarySmith) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia No show yesterday over 2 hours lost time today trying to sort out the item which ironically are apart of an agreement with @virginmedia to resolve slow speeds and #badcustomerservice. Looks like you don’t ever listen back to your own training recorded conversations...

  • jeanrauwers Jean Rauwers (@jeanrauwers) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia getting these emails saying “we are sorry you are leaving” but I didn’t cancel my service with you guys. Should I be worried about it?

  • mariobucolo Mario Bucolo (@mariobucolo) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia i have an issue on my broadband...just 2 after i complaint against a openreach engineering. what a coincidence!

  • MrGarySmith Gary Brian Smith (@MrGarySmith) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia Furthermore I’ll not be renewing my @O2 contract when they merge with Virgin bad enough with on #showerofshit can’t be dealing with it on my mobile as well.

  • MrGarySmith Gary Brian Smith (@MrGarySmith) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia @VirginVoyages Beware they Virgin operate and tell you one thing when you call customer services you may end up on on a 2 week cruise on the Woolwich ferry

  • TobyJasper1 Toby Jasper (@TobyJasper1) reported

    @virginmedia Still haven’t got a secure way of resolving a technical problem with your service. A very expensive product with very poor backup!

  • chloelizbailey chloe bailey (@chloelizbailey) reported

    @virginmedia The internet is totally down. The sales person knew nothing about my account, kept loosing her place in the script and then tried to pressure me into taking a new contract today. She also said I couldn’t get the quote in an email. She also said I could only get 1 wifi booster but

  • JLeadbeatter Jamie Leadbeatter (@JLeadbeatter) reported

    Working from home and interest has gone down… c’mon @virginmedia - is it just meeee!!??

  • stuartc97127196 stuart cooper (@stuartc97127196) reported

    @virginmedia is anyone else having trouble with Wi Fi my Android iPad keeps randomly disconnecting at different times even though I'm connected I live in the Glasgow area.

  • Onoitsthatguy Onoitshim (@Onoitsthatguy) reported

    @virginmedia Internets down again this month, had so many troubles recently with virgin and now this happening on Halloween night? Unacceptable, you expect to get a service you pay for, instead it seems like we are paying for the "engineers" to come sit on there *** whenever there's a problem

  • MamaChick1 Lisa Meyers (@MamaChick1) reported

    @virginmedia And how am I supposed to do that if there are wifi issues? It’s in an out of connection

  • spencernfranks Spencer Franks (@spencernfranks) reported

    @virginmedia I renewed contract I wanted same as before. Internet was very slow+ I kept getting texts+ jiffy bags to return my equipment?my contract had taken away WiFi booster pods from the network (3 pods had been sent to me originally by the executive team as wifi was so bad in my home)

  • BazaarRide Blaketown (@BazaarRide) reported

    @virginmedia The ethernet ports intermittently fail on the router you provided, and have since day one. I have been through all the troubleshooting steps, both before calling (using forums & your support pages), and then again on the phone with your support staff.

  • Marchm3nt Geoff (@Marchm3nt) reported

    @virginmedia Ps - your complaints team issued a laughable response to C-301022169 - it bears no relation to the actual complaint received. Full details being passed to the Ombudsman this week.

  • The_ToxicPanda Mike (@The_ToxicPanda) reported

    @virginmedia It's the hub4 I have the connect app and done all the jazz too. I'm on the gig package and believe I should have the hub 5 as that is specced to support wifi 6 and can actually get gigabit over wifi.
