  • leannt1984 Leann (@leannt1984) reported from Salford, England

    Hi @virginmedia for several days I’ve been messaging you trying to move my services to another address. You can’t speak to anybody, and nobody replies to my messages! Appalling service! I will want reimbursement for the days that my services won’t be available at my new property

  • AidenMontgomery Aiden Montgomery (@AidenMontgomery) reported from Westhoughton, England

    Really fed up with my @virginmedia internet connection. Months of packet loss causing voice calls to be unintelligible. Constantly losing connection. Multiple ‘engineer’ visits and its still terrible. Two days in a row now the hub says No RF Signal. Stay away from it!

  • supergran22 Maureen StewartJones (@supergran22) reported from Eccleston, England

    @virginmedia 1 tv went off showing error code. Other tv working. On website tried to sort with code. Didn't work, phoned 150 no luck as told service closed. On website it states Saturday 8-8pm. Not impressed as was on red button watching tennis. I need my big screen.

  • borntorun127 Sid (@borntorun127) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia Is there any coincidence that since i said i was closing my account, both Tv & Broadband have crashed 3 to 4 times daily? And you'll expect me to pay for this **** service

  • robtomlin1 ROB TOMLIN (@robtomlin1) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia for the past 18 months I’ve paid £99 a month for the oomph package, just been told it’s going up to £139 a month for same package yet new customers get it for £89 a month! How can you justify this ? Don’t want to leave but no help from customer services

  • CityWookie CityWookie (@CityWookie) reported from Urmston, England

    Impossible to arrange a house move with @virginmedia ! So far website doesn't work. So they tell you to use the contact us chat, which I've sat on for over 4 hours without a response. I've also tried calling, so far more than 3 hours no response or cut off 😡 #poorservice

  • DavidWaywell David Waywell (@DavidWaywell) reported from Newton-le-Willows, England

    @virginmedia Can you tell me if there is any problem in the WA12 address? Internet has been of and on all day and your service status page doesn't seem to update.

  • kfield82 Gamble free girl (@kfield82) reported from Billinge Chapel End, England

    Trying to drop some items from my @virginmedia. They increase the price 🙄 the service is slow, old and far too expensive. Then get kept on the line for ages 😩🙄

  • TezzP Tezz P (@TezzP) reported from Haydock, England

    @virginmedia wow! Does anyone actually still work at virgin media? 45 mins on hold on one call, 35 on another number,off your website, I'm suppose to be getting a text with a link to a website, never received it! Trying to discuss my contract, which is at an end, remove services

  • DavidWaywell David Waywell (@DavidWaywell) reported from Newton-le-Willows, England

    I don't mind so much that my Internet is down (these things happen) but I do get annoyed when the service status tells me it's fine. I don't know if I should be doing something to fix it. @virginmedia

  • MissVerryCherry Verry Cherry 💋 (@MissVerryCherry) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia I can’t believe how shocking your customer service is ....

  • brollybruce Bruce (@brollybruce) reported from Dunham Massey, England

    @virginmedia Trying to contact him now - it’s tricky but I’m sure you would want to step in and prioritise an issue which is of your own making and leaves someone for 2 weeks bereft

  • rachaelmcnally rachael mcnally (@rachaelmcnally) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia what a rubbish service. Trying to request for package to be moved but can’t speak to a person. Now want to cancel....still can’t speak to anyone 😡 terrible service......answer the phone!!!! Been sat on hold for 3 hours

  • brollybruce Bruce (@brollybruce) reported from Dunham Massey, England

    @virginmedia if your disabled pal has had an installation of yours which has been a disaster from A to Z and he’s having to wait yet another week for an engineer - how do I help him get the priority remedy he needs ? #askingforafriend obviously

  • simonandrebecca Simon Nadler (@simonandrebecca) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia I’ve tweeted you 3 times now without a response. Hopefully this is 4th time lucky! Please could you assist me with my issue? If you’re not bothered, I’ll take my business elsewhere
