  • Samueltennant Sam Tennant (@Samueltennant) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia UK Sales say 1 month extension reconnection impossible, but offshore call centres said yes but this has not happened yet. House moves are stressful. Please help.

  • marshymoodle Karen Marshall (@marshymoodle) reported from Rochdale, England

    Loyalty gets you nowhere these days! Spoke to #virginmedia trying to get my massive bill down get offered £4 a month, thanks 👍 only given them my money for the last 15 years 😡

  • SalfordHydro Dr Neil Entwistle (@SalfordHydro) reported from Salford, England

    Hi @virginmedia, I’ve moved house & your website confirmed I can have your services however when the installer came he said we need to get the local neighbours to use “cable my street” on internet. However we can’t because your website says we have it. Catch 22! Help please.

  • SalfordHydro Dr Neil Entwistle (@SalfordHydro) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia Ok great, I hope you do as thus far your customer service phone line hasn’t. The engineer hasn’t. The manager I spoke over the telephone hasn’t so you’re my last hope before I’m forced to shop elsewhere

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

    @virginmedia Will you ever sort your hub 3 from lag, lag, lag, 10 million customers, you prob paid a quid each for this pile of crap hub 3 from China, taking advantage of the sweat shops paying the workers nothing, that is why this router is shite, shite shite!

    Loyalty gets you nowhere these days! Spoke to @virginmedia trying to get my massive bill down get offered £4 a month, thanks 👍 only given them my money for the last 15 years 😡

  • itsonlyme72 Louise V (@itsonlyme72) reported from Salford, England

    @donzy77 @virginmedia You would think as loyal customers we would get better deals. Please let me know if you find a better service elsewhere.

  • SweeneySweeney1 lynn sweeney (@SweeneySweeney1) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia I have a complaint on going for damage to the inside of my property caused by the installation.I have spoken to various people and had managers at my house to look at the installation which was done incorrectly . I am waiting for a call back from a manager still

  • Samueltennant Sam Tennant (@Samueltennant) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Hi! Follow-up to my prob yesterday, Housemove has been delayed, VM discon 16/09, I've now asked for 1 final mnth. >1hr on phone with 3x outbound call centres yesterday; still not clear if 1) Service will be Reactivated today & 2) will be for one month, not 12/24. Ta!

  • louise_woodman Louise Woodman (@louise_woodman) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia I keep calling and it plays the same message saying you knows there’s a fault and you are trying to fix it. The same message since Saturday morning. It offers texts to update but I’ve had no texts even though I’ve put my number in each time I’ve called.

  • XboxE3Fans Xbox E3 Fans 🎮 (@XboxE3Fans) reported from Manchester, England

    @aravelle @virginmedia Yikes, that sucks :( I know they’re doing a lot of new areas in and around Manchester so I do hope they’re in your area ASAP! :(

  • jjplt jo-ann murray (@jjplt) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @virginmedia 6 installations date , no enigneer turns no phone calls of apology or text make a complaint still waiting for a call back - in the space of 48 hours have just been given 3 new installation dates and no one can explain to me wtf virgin you are a load of 💩

  • Samueltennant Sam Tennant (@Samueltennant) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia VERY happy customer for eight years, only disconnecting as not available and new address but the last 24hrs have been a nightmare. The offshore call centres simply seem to have no facility to understand something like this which is off script. 1/2

  • louise_woodman Louise Woodman (@louise_woodman) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia No, just that it will be on and off until the 30th. I am not asking for ‘fault free’ just some acceptance that we are paying a lot of money for a service we are not getting and paying extra for 3G. The attitude from virgin is it’s ok because you are getting it sometimes!

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

    @Simatron3000 @virginmedia That looks bad, mine is better than that, but notice no packet loss.

  • CarlitosGirl Gail (GiGi) Frampton (@CarlitosGirl) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia No not really, I need a call or a name I can email. I just need a resolution, can't spend time telling a long story to people who don't have the authority to look at the account and resolve it. Can you do that or can you pass me to someone who can. Please.

  • paulhulse83 Paul Hulse (@paulhulse83) reported from Sale, England

    Evening @virginmedia over the past month I have been reporting issues with your service as you will see through tweets! However, today I learn that you’ve issued my bill and also charging me for last month - when it HAS been paid! I have the confirmation of payment with me!

  • louise_woodman Louise Woodman (@louise_woodman) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia we’ve also got no catch up tv etc.. only live tv. Again since Saturday. Tried rebooting but this doesn’t help. No timescale given on the number you gave me and no texts sent to update.

  • CancerGolf CLIC SARGENT Charity Golf Day (@CancerGolf) reported from Rochdale, England

    Having a right shocking time with @virginmedia customer services. 3 months being overcharged and having to call them on a monthly basis! Still not resolved 🤬 looks like @SkyUK will be getting a new customer.

  • ConradBetton Conrad Betton (@ConradBetton) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia In the last 4 weeks I can’t get any internet if more than a 5m away from hub/extender. Shows and full signal strength. Your technical support team need to send me at least 1 more extender.

  • Rob_Bradley88 Rob Bradley (@Rob_Bradley88) reported

    @virginmedia My broadband keeps going off, been like it for about a week on and off now and customer service are a joke! I'm not happy TBH

  • Sanna_Syed Sanna Syed (@Sanna_Syed) reported

    @virginmedia It's still awful. And so intermittent. It constantly cuts out and watching a movie was awful. I ended up streaming off of my hotspot.

  • Harry19950462 Harry Osborn (@Harry19950462) reported

    @virginmedia No because its a computer that doesn't help you I need to talk to someone

  • nikkitel Nikki (@nikkitel) reported

    @virginmedia Hi nope! They transferred me and hours later nothing so I’ve filled in a complaint form. Shocking lack of service and for something so simple

  • stuart_mackay88 Stuart Mackay (@stuart_mackay88) reported

    @virginmedia I do appreciate that but I think the dynamics are a little different when the engineer causes the problem that it would warrant jumping up the queue.

  • DanPlaysGames22 Harrison Dan (@DanPlaysGames22) reported

    @casper197635 @TheMrMegabyte @virginmedia Oh damn do you know what speed you pay for?

  • Its_Ciaron Gallon of Magnet (@Its_Ciaron) reported

    @virginmedia Its a linked issue, a family discount account because I have two phones and broadband. Just spent an hour being laughed at by someone in the Philippines who doesn't understand the law and repeatedly refused to give me their name. No phone means no doctor, no carer...I'm scared

  • carlclark52 Carl Robert Clark (@carlclark52) reported

    Typical @virginmedia, we spend most of half term out and about, so we will use this weekend to catch up with work before Monday. This is when there is a "network issue"! 😠

  • Rob_Bradley88 Rob Bradley (@Rob_Bradley88) reported

    @virginmedia It's the hub that's not working! So that's irrelevant! If the main source keeps breaking

  • codedbymiles Miles Cant (@codedbymiles) reported

    @virginmedia Broadband for our whole street is down, your 1st line support was argumentative and refused to listen and is adamant it’s a household issue and not a service area issue, can you get this resolved please?
