    @virginmedia My service is rubbish - spoilt the football World Cup last year, and now the rugby World Cup - picture keeps blipping

  • Antoinne73 Vampire Bait (@Antoinne73) reported from Rotherham, England

    @virginmedia Nah - I’m not chasing anymore - 18/19years of loyalty and you treat me like shit - I’ll let my contract run down and join @skyuk or @bt_uk

  • BarnsleyBotts James Bottomley (@BarnsleyBotts) reported from Barnsley, England

    @virginmedia Shame your customer service agents on the phone don't seem to feel the same. You cancelled my TV & BB before agreed date, agreed to re-instate which turns out to be a lie as now refusing to unless I agree to a long term contract. Astonishing awful treatmeant

  • DeltaAlphaEcho Damian Edwards (@DeltaAlphaEcho) reported

    @virginmedia This is a WiFi issue not a mobile phone issue.

  • BasilatNapier Basil Manoussos,MSc,MBCS,MCSFC (@BasilatNapier) reported

    @virginmedia I can't. My MacBook does not have an ethernet slot and my desktop is in a different room. However, the VM signal booster was not working well and I could not get high speeds from it connected to my desktop with a cable.

  • twalksy Matt Walker🔰🇺🇦 #StandWithUkraine (@twalksy) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, I checked the status on my phone app and it says there are issues in my area. Seems a bit better now but spent the first few hours of my working day reconnecting. Not ideal when busy but thanks for contacting.

  • TamsinMinton Tamsin Minton (@TamsinMinton) reported

    @virginmedia Hi Virgin, customer service was not very helpful. Luckily though other routes worked and it’s now sorted.

  • Nerakk75 kaz (@Nerakk75) reported

    @virginmedia You are aware of the issue….. It’s been repaired by your engineer numerous times. Maybe they can try and actually fix it rather than patch it up to fail again the next day. Not impressed

  • jackeryyyy 💪🏻 (@jackeryyyy) reported

    @virginmedia you are honestly the most contemptuous provider on the British market. I’ve wasted 6 weeks and 6hours of phone calls waiting for your installation. No updates. No calls. No help. £30 compensation? Pathetic. You will not have access to my property to complete.

  • wasteheatuser Dave Pearson (@wasteheatuser) reported

    @virginmedia hey guys. The broadband problems in #G77 are getting beyond a joke. That makes it about 6 disruptions in 2 weeks. If you don’t up your game my whole street will leave en masse. Ta.

  • jackeryyyy 💪🏻 (@jackeryyyy) reported

    you won’t have a contract here to service. I won’t give you access. You’ve dictated installation dates after 2 rearrangements without discussion, I won’t even be here. Disgusting company @virginmedia - DO NOT EVER THINK ABOUT THEM.
