  • Sex_chameleon Foxy stoat (@Sex_chameleon) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia Because that's something you should have offered 4 months ago before the endless hour long phone calls, not something you should have offered only when I went though 3 different people to cancel. I also can't take a day off work for an engineer during August.

  • raydeluce Ray Mondoosh De'luce (@raydeluce) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia There are some issues with the tv, some channels are completely un watchable, channel 4 HD & +1 for the moment, I will check the rest

  • springviewer John Edgar (@springviewer) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia strange I read all the posts about Virgin customers ringing up about cancelling services and Virgin offering them a better deal however I ring up and cancel a service with no trouble at all, not even offering a lower price, your loss #virginmedia

  • shaunbentley Shaun (@shaunbentley) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia I haven’t been able to find a replacement service yet so I need an extension on my end date with you. I’ve been trying to start a chat for 4 hours now.

  • MikeM0309 Mike Astro Mckenna (@MikeM0309) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia No they wont.... I was on hold for over 3o minutes before someone answered and when he did he said he'd give me a default Password and then he hung up.... wtf. Your customer service and service full stop is an absolute joke!

  • Nw38Wilson nick Wilson (@Nw38Wilson) reported from Rochdale, England

    @virginmedia good morning can someone from resolution team reactivate my service and wipe clear the balance on my account as I was mis sold the broadband in the first place which you haven't apologised for but will give a chance to u goodwill gesture clear account start afresh

  • lesley_win Lesley Wintle (@lesley_win) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia @tricky1966 I have this problem too - see my tweet. Your service status doesn't mention this fault - I have been informed by your messaging service it will be fixed by 12th August!!!! 4 days!!!

  • DidymusBrush Paul Holmes (@DidymusBrush) reported from Manchester, England

    Recently moved from a city centre apartment to suburbia. Had to lose my ever reliable @Hyperoptic connection for a @virginmedia package. Been working from home a few days in the last fortnight and it just likes to randomly cut out for periods without reason. JOY.

  • thecraigthomas Craig Thomas (@thecraigthomas) reported from St Helens, England

    Broadband download issues a few weeks back, now On Demand TV not working for Manifest. Ridiculous time on hold to try to get through to your team. I’m not feeling the love @virginmedia

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

    @virginmedia The ping is to slow when gaming, on my PC I get 350meg DL, on my xb1x I get 550meg DL, I think it's throwing my gaming out, it's just not worth bothering playing to get hammered because of ping, lag, whatever it is.

  • Liam_Hawksey Goth Scouser (@Liam_Hawksey) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia Never mind, I reset the box and it’s fine now

  • metallicageek John Sharrock (@metallicageek) reported from St Helens, England

    Interwebz are down.. Another Sunday in @virginmedia land. I knew I should have kept that old Joanna ..

  • bizzarebird BBird (@bizzarebird) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia But the package I have is old now it doesn't exist. I don't have HD channel for itv2. And pay so much basic phone line and Internet so pay over odds. Price increases on an outdated package. You think 10 years as a customer I could upgrade my package to a current TV one

  • raydeluce Ray Mondoosh De'luce (@raydeluce) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia There is an issue and it hopefully should be sorted tomorrow.

  • mickryanphoto Mick Ryan (@mickryanphoto) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia COM103473607 but as I said I have a deadlock letter.... I have no confidence due to the fact your company seems to neglect the real issue here! Telling my 82 yr old mother her dead husband ordered Sky Movies from the grave! A service neither of them are/were interested in

  • Oh_Hello_Studio Sandy (@Oh_Hello_Studio) reported from Bury, England

    @virginmedia Yes, rebooted as per advice we receive every time 😒 We've experienced the same issue repeatedly since the "Intelligent Wi-Fi" upgrade. Repeated outages however status always reports that there is no issue.

  • raydeluce Ray Mondoosh De'luce (@raydeluce) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia It was affecting the wireless connection on and off for over 6 hrs to the point where I switched wifi off on my phone! I'll not hold my breath for today but I'll certainly be in touch if this problem Carrie's on today!

  • Bhadane_Sonal Sonal Bhadane (@Bhadane_Sonal) reported from Salford, England

    It took 1.5 hours to get hold of a @virginmedia tech .And no resolution with broadband box. So if you call a sales line 100s are ready to sell you the products but once you are their customer it’s of no value how they treat you ! @VirginMediaNews Happy Sunday 😀

  • Sex_chameleon Foxy stoat (@Sex_chameleon) reported from Warrington, England

    @Satoonerist @virginmedia Totally agree, I've just been pissed about trying to get through to cancellations, I refused technical help and and engineer and I'm going to take a chance that my neighbours are right and Talk Talk is decent these days.

  • springviewer John Edgar (@springviewer) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia An engineer is coming out on Friday, suppose I’m going to have to put up with 5 days of poor connection #virginmedia #poorservice

  • faysocraylike Fahima (@faysocraylike) reported

    Virgin Media wifi never works pay them for bants

  • Dangelus Retro Recollections (@Dangelus) reported

    @kingmonkey25 @virginmedia Customer service and VM are not good bedfellows lol. I moved recently & chose to wait longer for another provider to be available than to stay with VM. Part of the decision was due to the fact that I was forced to use a text chat to organise the move. Can’t get hold of a human!
