    @virginmedia Having problems with our broadband, hub shows a list of critical errors, can’t speak to anyone on the phone, website is useless,where can we get help?

  • Nicole_Baker NicoleMichelleBaker (@Nicole_Baker) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England

    @virginmedia I've spent three hours over two calls waiting for you to confirm a discount on my below standard broadband and to deliver a booster. I have had to escalate a complaint as it couldn't be resolved on the phone yet I'm still waiting for the level of service promised!!!

  • TerryBpne Crazy Corner (@TerryBpne) reported from Walton le Dale, England

    @MintyPNE @virginmedia Yes, camera angle awful. Went for the defer season ticket option to next year, so could have had ifollow tonight, but that has hardly been reliable. Still we are winning!

  • Oscarmeg Michael Dugdale (@Oscarmeg) reported from South Shore, England

    @virginmedia Repeated wifi failure causing issues trying to stream any catch up or live channels. Wifi drops at random intervals. Poor signal strength through my property. Failure to organise the booster as promised way back in September. Failure to call me back after request for my number.

  • Oscarmeg Michael Dugdale (@Oscarmeg) reported from South Shore, England

    @virginmedia No, that’s never been given to me as an option

  • sam_forsyth87 Samantha Forsyth (@sam_forsyth87) reported from South Shore, England

    @virginmedia we are having lots of issue with our broadband. This has been for days now ! Please contact us. We have tried and tried to get through. Very frustrated customer !

  • Knitswithbeer knitswithbeer🐝🏳️‍🌈Stay Home (@Knitswithbeer) reported from Euxton, England

    @DisneyPlusUK @NPGLondon @virginmedia better sought out the local outage for this. Wait, I can watch on my tablet via the app you say? Not unless they also sought out the WiFi issue. Call them to complain you say? Not unless they sought out the landline issue...😐

  • Billyburdess3 Billy burdess (@Billyburdess3) reported from Blackpool, England

    @tizo59 @virginmedia Was this fixed I have the same problem

  • Libra_Comms Ali Gudgeon ✍🏻️ (@Libra_Comms) reported from Preston, England

    @virginmedia The problem with the search facility is that it brings up multiple episodes but none of them have dates on. This needs addressing please!

  • Seasiderdario dario (@Seasiderdario) reported from South Shore, England

    @Kiwion @virginmedia I'm constantly having issues with virgin as well. It's so shitty

  • Bismurff Lauren Fox (@Bismurff) reported from Warton, England

    @virginmedia having issues in the Warton area... been trying to call but there's no answer - all the online help did nothing. Are issues happening everywhere? #virginmediadown

  • SammyKnowlesX SJK (@SammyKnowlesX) reported from Banks, England

    @virginmedia I’ve spoken with someone in the new development team who’s advised they’ve escalated all my complaints and someone should be ringing me directly to take through and fix everything. However no response

  • physiobex Becky Nicholls (@physiobex) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia Actually, problem is still there. Any help gratefully accepted!

  • Knitswithbeer knitswithbeer🐝🏳️‍🌈Stay Home (@Knitswithbeer) reported from Euxton, England

    It seems my @virginmedia goes down on a weekly basis at the moment. Usually on my days off...🤬

  • Oscarmeg Michael Dugdale (@Oscarmeg) reported from South Shore, England

    @virginmedia your service for the price I pay is a bloody joke! I can’t watch a film on the cinema channels I pay for without it pausing every 30 seconds to buffer. There’s no technical help available. I want my subscription money back thank you!

  • ShevingtonShark SHEVINGTON SHARKS (@ShevingtonShark) reported from Shevington, England

    @virginmedia we have NO Internet at WN6 8BQ ALL DAY. This is very, very poor. What is the problem??

  • GeminiAli Ali (@GeminiAli) reported from South Shore, England

    @virginmedia keep me on hold for 40 minutes then answer and cut me off. Shocking service. Ive tried to update online and get told I have to call. Twice I've been cut off after being on hold and or answered. Conveniently can't email either 😡😡

  • rachiep12o Rachiep (@rachiep12o) reported

    @virginmedia awful customer service. Our new 360 box keeps getting errors and you can’t do anything other than reset the box! Lost all our recordings on two occasions and now our box says it’s full even tho there are no recordings!!! Can someone actually help or do @SkyUK want us

  • jamiekitson Jamie Kitson (Parody Account) / Official (@jamiekitson) reported

    @botherer @virginmedia @theTRUESPEED Absolutely. My father-in-law cancelled his contract in April 2022. In Sept we realise they were still taking money from him. It was only *this week* that we finally got them to stop. We hope. My wife has spent approx 10 hours on the phone and awful online chat trying to sort.

  • BCeca Benny Ceca (@BCeca) reported

    @virginmedia Yes I have, it was "fixed" around 3pm after it was down since the morning, gone down twice since then, right now, no Internet! Status page shows an issue as usual!

  • HoledTo To Have And To Holed (@HoledTo) reported

    @virginmedia I don’t want to raise a complaint I’d just like it sorted as there are bare wires on show

  • kkgorny1972 Kev (@kkgorny1972) reported

    @virginmedia I was told they would call me after their dinner break. I need this call back because virgin has told @netflix that I no longer want the service when I never asked for the disconnection. I have no Netflix as we speak and I want it reinstated today

  • LouiCM_ Louis (@LouiCM_) reported

    @LuxxReno @virginmedia Constant ping spikes it’s awful

  • bethanyafrancis 𝒃𝒆𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒚 𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒄𝒆 (@bethanyafrancis) reported

    I have never know anything as shocking as some of the @virginmedia customer service staff. Gone so down hill, so rude! 🥲😒

  • allriffnoraff Chris (@allriffnoraff) reported

    Virgin media system is down. Guess the cancellation of the TV package will have to wait. Next stop, the License fee.

  • OhThisBloodyPC Oh This Bloody Computer (@OhThisBloodyPC) reported

    @virginmedia Am trying to get a broadband account sorted out. For some reason, it sounds massively complicated to get a small detail changed, so we may have cancel.

  • iBainsy bainsy (@iBainsy) reported

    @LouiCM_ @virginmedia There is your problem, never use their equipment Put the router into Modem mode, buy your own router (netgear nighthawk works well) and problem solved. Can find tutorials online on how to do it. (Virgin even tell you how on their forums)
