  • andyvic7 Andy Picken (@andyvic7) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @drummerwhitey @northernsky67 @virginmedia Steve it was a last resort for me but other avenues were fruitless, I ended up getting a visit from an engineer , a booster and a reduction in my tariff after I told them I’d leave , normal customer service is dreadful, keep on pushing them

  • CJMontford Connor / MN (@CJMontford) reported from Newcastle-under-Lyme District, England

    Virgin Media is DOG AWFUL

  • EmzeeJaye Emily-jaye collins. (@EmzeeJaye) reported from Stafford, England

    Virgin media really need to pull their finger out. Don't boast a service that you simply cannot provide. What a bloody joke. #virginmedia #failmedia

  • moorland2 Moorland (@moorland2) reported from Endon, England

    @virginmedia trying to contact you and all I keep getting is a stupid repetitive bot

  • iMeyrick Meyrick (@iMeyrick) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    Me to the controller after reconnecting to @vatsim for the 5th time in one flight due to the virgin media outage.

  • mrsclholdcroft Claire Holdcroft (@mrsclholdcroft) reported from Stafford, England

    @virginmedia can you please tell me how to ensure that you cancel my contract? I have tried since June! I’ve moved out and you keep on sending me bills and notices of not paying! The chat is useless as no one actually helps! It then disconnects! So disappointed.

  • booksandcomics StaffordBooks&Comics (@booksandcomics) reported from Stafford, England

    Right in the middle of hosting a virtual pub quiz with friends from around the world and our WiFi with @virginmedia cuts out. It’s been fine all the way through lock down, unsure why these past few days it has been awful...#virginmediadown

  • Rocketman_86 Rocketman_86 (@Rocketman_86) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia Your a tech company and doesn't have an email address. Your live chat is laughable and waiting times on the phones is silly. Trying log into the account - forget password the username doesn't exist. The self help is insulting intelligence is the ringer switched on for instance

  • Rocketman_86 Rocketman_86 (@Rocketman_86) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia Yes. No human tone. No customer service. The usual have you tried changing the batteries in your phone, could it be your handset etc ( they bought new ones 6/7 week ago thinking it was them) may be they should ask Virgin Media to reimburse them

  • EmzeeJaye Emily-jaye collins. (@EmzeeJaye) reported from Stafford, England

    @virginmedia considering my number isn't on the directory and I've never given it out to anyone, it's funny how I am getting so many scam and cold calls.

  • danandbec Dan and Bec (@danandbec) reported from Stafford, England

    Well, @virginmedia what a way to welcome a new customer. Two weeks in and I’m getting speeds so slow the internet is unusable. A week to wait before an engineer visit and there’s no compensation. How do we key workers work from home this week on 2mbit?

  • small1808 nathan (@small1808) reported from Stafford, England

    @virginmedia an hour on hold and still no further forward 😭😭😭😭😭 this is why i dont ring with problems with my service from you

  • demonbaz666 bazza baz (@demonbaz666) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

  • xTrustBandit #bandit4president (@xTrustBandit) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia u guys ******* suck . Worst internet UK

  • moorland2 Moorland (@moorland2) reported from Endon, England

    We stopped paying @virginmedia the£90 for what in fairness was complete crap and have bought a Manhattan @FreeviewTV box and couldn’t be happier. We would never go back to virgin or sky for their overpriced TV service

  • helkhiana Helkhiana (@helkhiana) reported

    How is it that for over 18 hours it was bad, then for 6 hours ok then now again it's bad @virginmedia ? When are your engineers doing the work? Why are you disrupting in the peak times??

  • RahilB_24 Rahil Butt (@RahilB_24) reported

    @virginmedia To get more useless service? Why not just tell everyone to give a call as soon as they tweet you? You can’t do anything to help anyway can you?

  • strwbrry_fields Sanjana (@strwbrry_fields) reported

    @virginmedia I put in the cancellation a few weeks ago to end service on May 1. Am I able to prepay this amount since my bank account will be closed by next week.

  • trippyarsenal trappyarsenal (@trippyarsenal) reported

    @virginmedia Oh well at least I can say I tried, hopefully I will get better customer service and treatment from @skytv

  • Pubkip Pubkip (@Pubkip) reported

    @virginmedia hi, I’ve had two agents hang up on me this evening. The second time I asked her to promise to call me back if we got disconnected and nothing. Why and what is going on? I’m not going to call back a third time because what’s the point?
