  • AndyPJo1 Andy Johnson Media (@AndyPJo1) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia But it keeps happening time after time and it is so difficult to get through to a human being (someone in a call centre in India) & when you do there’s no explanation of why it keeps happening. I run two small businesses and am reliant on a god quality reliable internet service.

  • dreadedwhisky Guy Rushworth (@dreadedwhisky) reported from Manchester, England

    After 48+ hours I’m still without any phone service. Despite being in contact with customer support at @virginmedia for over 48 hours. Had to buy a temporary @EE SIM card in the end. Fed up and frustrated to say the least.

  • AndyPJo1 Andy Johnson Media (@AndyPJo1) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Finally got through. Total loss of service - not expected to be fully back on until 29th of August! That’s nearly a week! Your service is appalling and you have the gall to be charging more. We will be looking at changing suppliers immediately.

  • AndyPJo1 Andy Johnson Media (@AndyPJo1) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Said it would be fixed by 3pm - here we are at half four & still no service.

  • pcjcarter Pamela Carter (@pcjcarter) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia better sort their service out before 9pm for the #HandsmaidsTale 🤬🤬

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    So that’s @virginmedia cancelled off and their poor effort at a service. I had more reliable service with dial-up! Now signed up with @SkyUK and hoping they can at least provide me internet that I can use for a day without it going off constantly.

  • 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 .

  • aish_a_ aisha (@aish_a_) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia u sent me a new router like a month ago and this connection is SLOWER than the router that was over 10 years old I’m basically sat on top of it and I’ve never experienced slower WiFi

  • aish_a_ aisha (@aish_a_) reported from Bolton, England

    Virgin media is so ******* SHIT sick of this life

  • shaunbentley Shaun (@shaunbentley) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia just spoke to, hands down, the rudest child I’ve ever spoke to. Morgan in the cancellations department. Seriously he was lucky we weren’t face to face. Little brat.

    Second weekend on the trot #virginmedia broadband down in south Manchester #virginmediabroadbandblues

  • DTGreen63 David Green (@DTGreen63) reported from Stockport, England

    @Virgin_Victoria @MadeByDyslexia @virginmedia They won't help customers service is crap they don't won't to know full stop

  • springviewer John Edgar (@springviewer) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia As per usual there’ll be no problems in the area, I’ll get told to unplug the box, then you’ll book an engineer for about 5days time, meanwhile the problem magically disappears #badservice

  • AndyPJo1 Andy Johnson Media (@AndyPJo1) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia you have just lost two loyal customers of nearly ten years. Countless internet connection problems & today was told the latest may not be fixed until August 29th - yet you are proposing another price hike. Appalling.

  • GrahamEdgington Graham Edgington (@GrahamEdgington) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia My Mother in law recently went into care with the late stages of Alzheimers and as power of attorney of her affairs I have tried to cancel her phone contract however your customers service did not want to know. They marked the file closed and said I would 1/3

  • GrahamEdgington Graham Edgington (@GrahamEdgington) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia receive a final account for £63 and that would be the end of things. The final account never arrived however the outstanding account has been passed to BPOB collections who bumped it up to £269.96. I have paid the account off, so sincerely hope that Mr Branson 1/3

  • AndyPJo1 Andy Johnson Media (@AndyPJo1) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia I’m afraid you’ve used the new deal trick before and look where we are. I am stuck without internet for a week and paying for a poor and inconsistent service. The server for my postcode M210ZN is down. Yet my wife who was working less than a mile away had no problems.

  • 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 .

  • AlanStockton11 Alan_MPS (@AlanStockton11) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia think you need to understand your customers are your business shocking speaking to your so called customer service team today didn’t care that my service has not worked now for a month, after a so called engineer was in my home for 5 mins saying all working 😢

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia And this is why I don’t bother calling you for the most part. The service desk where I work are in trouble if customers are on hold for 20 seconds. Virgin are a huge company and can’t afford a call centre where customers don’t have to wait 15 mins (so far) on hold.

  • adrianmwest Adrian West (@adrianmwest) reported

    @katie_pilot Virgin Media speeds are really good, but beware, their customer service is really atrocious.

  • ScarletDevil771 ScarletMarisa375 @ Home (@ScarletDevil771) reported

    **** it, gonna wait until Tuesday to get my new Virgin Media 1Gbps router, No point recording any videos with the lag also in the video, it just annoys me and I'm a victim to continuous harassment and cyberbullying due to the internet speeds

  • runilon Runilon (@runilon) reported

    Not happy @virginmedia There have been problems with our TV, broadband & phone service for the last 2 weeks, everyday. All of a sudden, there is a flickering on the TV & then the broadband runs very slow! Intermittently unable to connect to WiFi. What is going on?

  • TomW83mcfc TOM WILDE (@TomW83mcfc) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Did all that check my service out
