  • DizzSukha Dizz Sukha (@DizzSukha) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia All signals are working. My issue is I have been paying for anonymous call rejection for a few years and it has not been working since last year. I have rang up many times and still not fixed. I have been paying for this service even though it is not working!

  • vickymanutd7 Victoria Smith (@vickymanutd7) reported from St Helens, England

    Seriously @virginmedia are a shocking company, internet just goes down and phones and try to ring them and no answer I guess ur costumer service don’t want to explain why they haven’t got the service pay for well next call will be cancellation

  • lady_leslie Victoria Leslie (@lady_leslie) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia Because the install date has only been set today. Because your call queues are lengthy & when you get through to someone they don’t know what the issue is so hang up or transfer you elsewhere. I’ve not just called for a chat.

  • lady_leslie Victoria Leslie (@lady_leslie) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia please can someone get in touch re new installation and BB not working, was promised a call back on Saturday & Sunday but it’s not happened. If it can’t be activated I’m happy to go to another supplier but also need to speak to you to cancel

  • toewad1 toewad1 (@toewad1) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia Gaming is a joke, so called superfast, I played 1 game tonight, backed out of all others turned Xbox off totally waste of time but, every night every game you are crap mate @virginmedia total shite always have been I can't even get a signal upstairs.

  • msmithuk22 Martin Smith (@msmithuk22) reported from Warrington, England

    Another week @virginmedia services down yet again, first they screw up my network up resetting everytbing, failing to listen multiple neighbours have no internet. Then call again and agree outage but don’t expect anything back we only compensate for more than 48 hours #badservice

  • vickymanutd7 Victoria Smith (@vickymanutd7) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia Well I can’t because I haven’t got my account number at hand and it’s a waste of time ringing up your customer service to check because on hold for ages and can’t even use my phone because that isn’t working either

  • lady_leslie Victoria Leslie (@lady_leslie) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia CW I give up 🤯 I’m happy with the install date they’ve given. The issue is the service, repeat calls and failed promised along with the 143mins calls to you along with an hour on webchat. Erik tells me the charges for calling are my fault as free from virgin but line not active.

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

    @virginmedia Hi Ty 4 the reply. Very frustrating when I'm using data at home just to receive watsapp messages. i spoke to someone yesterday afternoon. Some settings were changed & was promised it would elevate the problem, but as I described to the chap on the phone this will not rectify it.

  • toewad1 toewad1 (@toewad1) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia This is the type of service you give, trash, what advise are you going to give me, unplug router 30 secs, 👎 open ports👎 none of your advise works, , no point,

  • ThatPavaldo SocialiteAppetite 🌹 (@ThatPavaldo) reported from Bury, England

    @JDenebe @virginmedia @EASPORTSFIFA I have the same problem and I am with Virgin media

  • cicismith81 Careen 'Cici' Smith (@cicismith81) reported from Manchester, England

    Public Announcement: STAY AWAY FROM @virginmedia , they ALWAYS give you the wrong information, the attitude SUCKS. I’m done. @sky I’m coming home

  • alwalsh72 Andrea Walsh (@alwalsh72) reported from Chorley, England

    @virginmedia we cannot report because everything is down. It's up and down the whole of the country

  • lady_leslie Victoria Leslie (@lady_leslie) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia No, unfortunately your team were really unhelpful so I don’t know what the issue is. A callback was needed because the BB is not working & your staff couldn’t help me any further so promised me callback to either resolve it or cancel the account

  • michaelad1997 michaela👑💋 (@michaelad1997) reported from Walkden, England

    @virginmedia Look at them trying to be clever, should try it on more important things like fixing the daily problem with their tv and internet

  • storm_imaging Craig Cooke (@storm_imaging) reported from Bolton, England

    Just had a call from @virginmedia - yep right. Saying my broadband was slow because of files being downloaded without my knowledge blah blah. When I said I don’t have Virgin Media broadband was informed that all the internet in my area goes through their servers...😩

  • neilrstanley Neil Stanley (@neilrstanley) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia Not sure I can replicate problem now I’m successfully logged into the app.

  • R1chardHughes pɹɐɥɔıᴚ 🇾🇪 (@R1chardHughes) reported from Rochdale, England

    When Virgin Media replies quicker and is actively trying to help the #Fifa20 player base whilst @EAFIFADirect @EASPORTSFIFA haven't done a thing about it yet... #EASPORTSFIFA20 #easportsfifa #fifadown

  • PhilCampbell_ Phil Campbell (@PhilCampbell_) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia I was using NowTv so thats why the connection cut. I stream TV more than anything which is why I'm having so many issues as your broadband is so unreliable

  • emma1995_louise emma louise crowther (@emma1995_louise) reported from Wigan, England

  • flubbermother Gina Butler (@flubbermother) reported

    @Mazstrict @virginmedia Three hours I was holding Friday, four departments, passed from pillar to post only to be cut off at 2 hours 57 minutes. Their service is atrocious.... Switched to Sky

  • boxer_junior Rocky Boxer Junior - MMA (@boxer_junior) reported

    @virginmedia ZR as I said poor customer service. You win. I did not want the virgin tv fixed as it’s rubbish and I can live without it. You’ve bored me to death. The internet coming into my home is poor. I’ll carry on paying for the internet that doesn’t work. Don’t bother answering.

  • Ban_Ana_Smith Ana Hernandez (@Ban_Ana_Smith) reported

    @virginmedia I have currently been an hour and 15 minutes on the phone trying to get hold of movals and disconnection team and they keep sending me to customer services. I can't spend my whole evening on the phone!! 😭

  • uncle_honka Honk (@uncle_honka) reported

    @virginmedia can you tell your resolution team that complaint reference C-2112201227 isn't resolved, cos apparently me emailing them 3 seperate times to tell them it wasn't and asking for a deadlock letter to send to the independent adjudicator gave the impression it was.

  • c_r_shaw Christopher Shaw (@c_r_shaw) reported

    @virginmedia Ah. Heading for day 5 then. The latest update we have is: We have identified the problem and an engineer is on their way. The estimated repair time is now: 14/02/2021 18:15:00. The Virgin Media Team.- ID: F008795191. Best wishes, the Virgin Media Team.

  • Justonebob Bob Condick (@Justonebob) reported

    @virginmedia so I've tried to cancel for 2 weeks now and you won't answer the phone, not in contract so just going to cancel direct debt, that cool?

  • twinbabbas TwinsD (@twinbabbas) reported

    @virginmedia what a disgraceful service my phone service and broadband was cut off in less than a day leaving us with no services at all because we asked to go over to BT.

  • AndrewKrisman Andrew Krisman (@AndrewKrisman) reported

    @virginmedia hi Virgin Media, I’ve spent over an hour trying to cancel my broadband account via phone and internet and finding your customer service impenetrable. I know I’m not a celeb, but can someone help me close my account!!

  • H7Factualist Harjinder Kalsi (@H7Factualist) reported
