  • RubbermanPaul Paul Barton (@RubbermanPaul) reported from Rochdale, England

    @virginmedia well come home from working away on Friday with a lot of emails to reply to. To discover my router is broken wife phoned up Friday afternoon customer service said they would send one out by Monday shocking service I’m out of contract so will look elsewhere 😡😡😡

  • diygolf John Pennington (@diygolf) reported from Ramsbottom, England

    @MotoNutJob @virginmedia Should be that if your provider can’t fix the problem within 24hrs you should be allowed to terminate the contract at no cost to yourself & they must give you a Uk contact number because the Bombay warriors are F..kg useless at sorting a problem

  • lorraineayrton Lorraine Ayrton (@lorraineayrton) reported from Bolton, England

    When you have 1001 things to do, Uber slow internet (yes @virginmedia I’ve tried switching on/off etc but still feel like I’m on dial up) and still haven’t a call time for job tomorrow is making me a proper grump #mondaythoughts #MondayMotivaton #MondayBlues #MondayMood

  • IanCardy2 Ian Cardy (@IanCardy2) reported from Rawtenstall, England

    Service from @virginmedia is disgusting for existing customers! Dial 150 hold for 20mins someone answers but can hardly speak English then hang up when I ask for a new deal #customerservice try calling back & it’s busy so “sorry can’t help today call tomorrow 8am some of us work!

  • 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!

  • Aftab147 Aftab (@Aftab147) reported from Rochdale, England

    @virginmedia Hi do we have a service issue at my postcode OL16 2JJ. Had issues on Tuesday as well.

  • wilcock_steve steve wilcock (@wilcock_steve) reported from Rochdale, England

    @virginmedia Any news on when this service will be back up and running it’s now 12 days!!! #virginmediaisajoke #votewithyourfeet

  • baabaa89 Victoria. 🐝 (@baabaa89) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia We have been experiencing issues with our hub. We often lose connection and then the connection is not very strong at all when connected. This has been happening for a couple of weeks. Please advise further.

  • Marsoma Marsoma (@Marsoma) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia Had no internet and TV service for over 24hrs now, can’t get through on the phone and it says the broadband issues are sorted on the service check online...it isn’t.

  • lorraineayrton Lorraine Ayrton (@lorraineayrton) reported from Bolton, England

    @blackheartorch @virginmedia 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 is all I have to say right now. Just want to talk to a human and not deal with an automated service x

  • lorraineayrton Lorraine Ayrton (@lorraineayrton) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia I have tried EVERYTHING to speak to a human however the automated rubbish doesn’t let me get there. It just tells me there is a problem that you are trying to fix. Clearly I am aware there is a problem and has been for sometime I have done all usual diagnostics my end

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

    @virginmedia Restarted twice, no problems with Internet at all. It started randomly on Monday night I thought it was going down but no it's like its telling me Internet is working but no thanks. Router is stuck where it is next to TV don't want flashing x

  • lorraineayrton Lorraine Ayrton (@lorraineayrton) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia OK I am getting mad 🤬🤬🤬 This has been my problem I CANNOT GET THROUGH TO A HUMAN BEING. Everything is automated. When I try to call it goes round the houses and then the call drops. #lostacustomer #igiveup

  • baabaa89 Victoria. 🐝 (@baabaa89) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia No issues and my box has no issues after running a test, but it still loses connection regularly.

  • lorraineayrton Lorraine Ayrton (@lorraineayrton) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Estimated fix time, it’s been going on for 4+ weeks and yes that is the number I am calling. It reset everything and did tests and currently running HOWEVER the next drop will be 5pmish as per the norm. It last went off at 14:53. I need a human being & cant speak to one

  • 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

  • Marsoma Marsoma (@Marsoma) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia Yes I’ve done all that. There was an issue in the post code but it says it’s sorted now, but it’s not. Still nothing at all!

  • lorraineayrton Lorraine Ayrton (@lorraineayrton) reported from Bolton, England

    Dear @virginmedia I don’t want an automated response, I want a solution. I have had intermittent internet access for 4 WEEKS and have had ENOUGH. I want to speak to a human being, can I have a number to complain to please #crapservice

  • 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

  • guyrleech Guy Leech (@guyrleech) reported

    @doctordns @zeninternet When I bought a wireless router after demoting my @VirginMedia one to cable modem only, I didn't think to get one also with 4G capability so I've got the 4G router is standalone in my lab although is connected via network cable too so don't have to WiFi to it

  • joe__johnson__ Joe Johnson (@joe__johnson__) reported

    The user experience of watching Sky Sports F1 on desktop if you're a @virginmedia customer is diabolical.

  • FanExperienceCo FanExperienceCompany (@FanExperienceCo) reported from Leeds, England

    @JRD3D4 @virginmedia Same here. Almost daily issues (& we’ve router extensions everywhere). Followed @virginmedia advice but they make it so difficult to talk to anyone that we’re about to move elsewhere too. Can’t have a call of any decent length without the wifi dropping.

  • fewery_rob Robert Fewery (@fewery_rob) reported

    @virginmedia I managed to speak to someone called Michelle about this matter. I received excellent customer service and, as a result, I will be staying with Virgin Media when moving house.

  • JRD3D4 James Richards (@JRD3D4) reported

    @virginmedia I have called up several times and had the team reset my router. This has been happening for weeks now and you reward customer loyalty with a price hike. Will be moving to a new and better provider.

  • MikeJTaylor96 Mike Taylor (@MikeJTaylor96) reported

    @virginmedia we have had that many different engineers who have stated it has to 100% be X Y and Z, they "fix it" and then nothing happens. the service still drops frequently.

  • EmzeeJaye Emily-jaye collins. (@EmzeeJaye) reported

    @virginmedia You’re saying you don’t have account access, but one of you did manage to get hold of me via my mobile. So have you had a gdpr breach? I’ve never given my mobile number. Someone from the social media team called, a manager called hetty at 19:17.

  • DeanFerguson4 Dean Ferguson (@DeanFerguson4) reported

    @sheppooo @virginmedia this is absolutely appalling. I have experienced similar issues.

  • Sarahscamp79 Sarah Parsons (@Sarahscamp79) reported

    @virginmedia we have done that, had countless phone calls and have given up. Had to cancel the contract, and we have been told we will have to pay £210, which when you cannot provide service or help is disgusting. Asked to speak to customer services and have been cut off. #poorcustomerservice

  • MikeJTaylor96 Mike Taylor (@MikeJTaylor96) reported

    @virginmedia many, many many times over period. latest being last week and every time its left with " a manager will call you back within the hour" nothing happens. A complaint has also been rased again and nothing has happened
