    Coincidence that BT & EE has been selling broadband all day in area and now my @virginmedia is down.

  • kaw7676
    Karen Walsh (@kaw7676) reported from Normanton, England

    @virginmedia it’s impossible to contact them with a complaint if you aren’t a customer.

  • AnnielizzieSten
    Rt. Hon Annie (@AnnielizzieSten) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia It’s strange because the online help claims there’s no problem but the phone says there’s a major problem in the area. Perhaps the online help needs updating because it’s no help at all

  • SamWalker03
    Sam Walker (@SamWalker03) reported from Dewsbury, England

    @virginmedia I’ve been hung up on three times this morning by your contact centre! All your willing to do is pass on the “feedback” do you have anyone customer service trained I can speak to ?

  • HarlamTK
    Tom “Harlam” King (@HarlamTK) reported from Wombwell, England

    @virginmedia How do I open a complaint then, because I’m still stuck on the phone with her and she is refusing to let me make my complaint.

  • guyrleech
    Guy Leech (@guyrleech) reported from Wakefield, England

    @vmbusinesshelp @vmbusiness Thanks. The 4G backup not working since the service was installed

  • AndyM50760310
    Andy M (@AndyM50760310) reported from Dewsbury, England

    @virginmedia That is really poor. It should be for Virgin to sort not the public. I spent an hour on the phone on Thursday speaking to a next to useless overseas call centre.

  • guyrleech
    Guy Leech (@guyrleech) reported from Wakefield, England

    @KevEdwardsRetro I've been with them for years (Yorkshire Cable before that) but changed to the @vmbusiness service to get 4G backup only to find that it doesn't work when their device is in modem mode. Unable to get through to them though - worst support/customer service I've ever experienced

  • Churchill0782
    The Churchill (@Churchill0782) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia do you care to give an update regarding services being down in the WF1 area of Wakefield? You estimate keeps changing which is becoming really annoying!! Literally 1000s of households without an Internet connection. #wakefield #poorservice

  • lettielou05
    lettiebella🦉🇬🇧 (@lettielou05) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia NE28 broadband appears down. I work from home. So any updates?

  • entrustTMF
    entrustTMF (@entrustTMF) reported

    @nameHarryPalmer @virginmedia That's EXACTLY it. They couldn't be bothered to fix it, didn't tell me, cut me off completely and didn't bother to organise ANY kind of repair. It just beggars belief Words almost fail me as to how poor an organisation @virginmedia have turned out to be throughout all of this

  • newman_gareth
    Gareth Newman (@newman_gareth) reported

    @virginmedia why is your broadband constantly so slow? Even in same room as router! Constant poor service

  • paulpresenteruk
    Paul Hulse (@paulpresenteruk) reported

    Having major issues with @ring doorbell, seemed to loose connection so iv tried recharging and reconnecting, rebooting etc but it still won’t connect @virginmedia

  • lynne_devlin
    Lynne Devlin (@lynne_devlin) reported

    @virginmedia Absolutely appalled at the incompetent awful level of service. Over 3 hours on live chat trying to sort out my 96 year old grandmother contract as you are trying to charge her an obscene amount of money and I am no further forward.

  • geekiebrian
    Brian Geekie (@geekiebrian) reported

    @virginmedia I’m still locked out of my virginmedia account after waiting 15 working days for resolution of this problem

  • saoirseisla
    Isla (@saoirseisla) reported

    My fave thing about @virginmedia is nothing. No WiFi for 4 days. No WiFi = no tv. Been fobbed off for days. Each day promising it’ll fixed by the end of the day. Only to turn around today and say only an engineer coming to the house can fix it. I want out of this contract.

  • RogerGreen2009
    Roger Green (@RogerGreen2009) reported

    @entrustTMF @virginmedia I got a ‘3’5g router that pulls down the 5g signal, it was as fast as my Virgin Media 200+gbps and more reliable. £25/month. If you’ve no 5g coverage starlink is offering £35 a month.

  • SophieAlexis30
    Sophie Alexis (@SophieAlexis30) reported

    @virginmedia just installed internet and been told we need 2 boosters it’s been a week and a half and still yet to arrive. Can anyone help in chasing them please.

  • 2cakesdakes
    twocakesdakes (@2cakesdakes) reported

    @virginmedia why does your call centre phone me about 3 times a day then just hang up when I answer?
