    @virginmedia No they’re helping. But it’s VERYYYY slow. But almost there.

    Anthony Taylor (@anttaylor23) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia The what's app line is fine, your advisers don't seem like they want to keep me as a customer. Well not for a decent price anyway 👀

  • tonyj01
    Tony Jacobs (@tonyj01) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia seems to be down nationally. 1: tell us status 2: tell us when back on

  • martyn_driver
    Martyn The Driver (@martyn_driver) reported from Rochdale, England

    @virginmedia after 26 years as a loyal cable customer it is time to say goodbye. It would seem that loyalty is not rewarded, and you don't want low use customers

  • barrys59
    Barry Slater (@barrys59) reported from Barton upon Irwell, England

    @virginmedia still no service M27. 4th hour! Rubbish!

  • Rayzor74
    Ray Morgan. NHS💙🇺🇦 (@Rayzor74) reported from Stockport, England

    Good start to the day with @virginmedia informing me my monthly bill is increasing by £15/month and I have until the 17th of April to decide on my options. That is £180 annually. Having been firstly a Nynex customer and a Virgin customer since the takeover think it may be time

  • Aldehulme
    David (@Aldehulme) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia I need to speak to somebody regarding a broadband problem without you running a check that will cut me off the internet. How do I get past this to speak to a person?

  • birdflu_7
    officially Gaynor Austin 💙 (@birdflu_7) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia If you want I can send pictures and ALL THE emails .I don't have the time to keep discussing the same situation with yet another virgin media support staff . My time is precious.

  • nathantalbot
    Nathan Talbot (@nathantalbot) reported from Salford, England

    Is anyone experiencing a Virgin Media outage in M6 currently? Fibre Broadband is struggling to connect

  • mark001282
    Mark Armstrong (@mark001282) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia I spoke to your customer service team on 2nd January who advised all issues had been resolved and my sim card was being sent out by royal mail delivery. Even with any postal delays out of your control it seems odd that it hasn't arrived.

  • bigdave22003388
    Dave (@bigdave22003388) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia im guessing technical support ain’t working ? Got no tv and can’t get any help

  • mark001282
    Mark Armstrong (@mark001282) reported from Manchester, England

    Every time speak to @virginmedia @Virgin customer service I die a little bit inside #emogirl

  • blokealex
    alex. (@blokealex) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Complaint is about billing after cancellation, your staff refusing to process my request to cancel and being told a different thing every time I call back… it’s been awful.

  • birdflu_7
    officially Gaynor Austin 💙 (@birdflu_7) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia I wascharged for non return of property apparently even when I had made arrangements for collection . Received a cheque but in my maiden name .sent another proof of marriage a covering letter and returned the cheque , this was from August!made complaint still no cheque

  • roslers_vest
    Scott Moseley (@roslers_vest) reported from Rochdale, England

    @virginmedia Submitting a complaint will probably result in an apology at best. Given I pay £1k per annum for an unreliable service it’s time to look for an alternative provider who can offer a more satisfactory customer experience

    @virginmedia VM/O2 account locked for security reasons. Spoke with someone on chat who requested it be unlocked within 5 days. This never happened. Called and asked again for my account to be unlocked. Again told this would be done. Hasn’t. Can this be escalated? I need access.

  • DWRICHARDS
    David Richards (@DWRICHARDS) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks so much. Who should I ask for?! Current promise via Chat is a chq within 30 days. The problem with contacting Virgin Media by phone or online when you are a former customer chasing a refund is that it is difficult to get past your security checking if it's an old a/c.

  • karenwigg1
    karen (@karenwigg1) reported

    @virginmedia Everyone apologises, but I'm left with paying for a service that I can't use. It seems Virgins's time is more valuable than mine bc I'm threatened with a £25 fine if I miss the appt.. I feel that I'm owed at least some sort of refund for ny inconvenience and loss of service

  • rickysmith1965
    Richard Smith (@rickysmith1965) reported

    @ClearlyOptional @virginmedia I have the same date for resolution, that will mean a full week without Internet service or any of the other services I pay for.
