  • pillbo01 kevin.james (@pillbo01) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia That number is a automated response not a customer service agent and an utter waste of time

  • stavroversfc s. whalley (@stavroversfc) reported from Lower Darwen, England

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

    @virginmedia Yes currently showing resolution time of 0230 04/11 this is a really poor service it has been off for the majority of the day

  • dwb89 Danny Bolton (@dwb89) reported from Altham, England

    Yet again @virginmedia having technical problem on the payment line what a joke this company has become 14 years with them think it’s time to change. And still no word on bill reduction after the down time last week

  • PaulRegent1 Paul Regent (@PaulRegent1) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia no internet available in Bolton - must be an outage as, although coverage is very poor, it isn’t usually this poor!!

  • Rebecccakate ☺️ (@Rebecccakate) reported from Great Harwood, England

    @virginmedia £150 a month and the internet doesn’t even work. Amazing. Can’t wait to cancel that.

  • Woolfie30 Howard Woolfenden (@Woolfie30) reported from Rochdale, England

    @virginmedia yet again my Internet isn't working. 18m on the old Internet and not one outage. now on the new and 'improved' service and yet another outage, so many outages already.... come on sort it out I'm paying good money for this......

  • pillbo01 kevin.james (@pillbo01) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia No as you person on 150 said you do not have a customer service that I could talk too. Your engineer said it was a fault at the box in street so I don’t know when it is fixed. But it’s not improve in the last month

  • 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

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

    @bluecitygirl232 @virginmedia I had the same issue with them in December always down not reliable couldn’t WFH so binned them off went to BT and fingers crossed not had an issue to date

  • JohnnyDude1983 🦔🦊Johnny1983 🦝🐱 (Big Animal Lover🐕🐶🐁) (@JohnnyDude1983) reported from Bury, England

    @bazza141 @virginhelp @virginmedia Join the club. I spent over 1hr 30 mins trying to get a issue resolved . I kept getting through to their over-seas call centres . It took almost 20 call re-tries to get through to a young lady over in Newcastle 😳😞. It's rediculous that they got call centres in 17 countries.

  • JohnnyDude1983 🦔🦊Johnny1983 🦝🐱 (Big Animal Lover🐕🐶🐁) (@JohnnyDude1983) reported from Bury, England

    @virginmedia It's nothing you can help with on twitter unfortunately 😞.

  • Elisabet0490 🪷Elisabet🪷 (@Elisabet0490) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia my internet has been suffering drop outs all day, now I have no working TV or internet. Being told it's my equipment when it never is, it's getting old that excuse. I will apparently have to wait 3 days for "an engineer to come out" - I can't I have to go to work 😤

  • EmmaS_1989 Emma (@EmmaS_1989) reported

    @virginmedia A manager can’t call us back for 24 hours and we have no sound on our TV, which we pay you A LOT of our hard earned money for. We aren’t available to take a call tomorrow as we are working. This isn’t acceptable at all. You cannot expect us to continue to pay, awful service.

  • fawad_iftikhar Fawad Iftikhar (@fawad_iftikhar) reported

    @virginmedia It is the ethernet clip which needs replacing not the wire. All i am trying to ask is to arrange a visit so an engineer can also look black spots and grey areas where the signal is not too great. There are plenty of packet drops as well in router log file. Is that too difficult?

  • PriceKeri Keri Price (@PriceKeri) reported

    @virginmedia The install completed on 5th of August. SIM cut off on 5th September. Still not reconnected despite assurances it would take 3-5 days. Customer services not taking this seriously. No managers have called. No compensation. This month’s bill is £145 for a week cut off from mobile.

  • adammichaelgree Adam Green (@adammichaelgree) reported

    @virginmedia absolutely not good enough. this is not a solution to my problem. i await your reply…

  • perrytaylor81 perry taylor 🔴 (@perrytaylor81) reported

    Why is your internet so ******* crap @virginmedia

  • fawad_iftikhar Fawad Iftikhar (@fawad_iftikhar) reported

    @virginmedia There’s the answer & that number is dead with only automated machine guiding you with stupid gueses & waste of valuable time. This is what you call awful and dreadful service. Thank you very much as always for your high class standards !!

  • joshduncan420 Josh Duncan (@joshduncan420) reported

    @virginmedia It didn’t really help am I able to get a WiFi extender

  • EmmaS_1989 Emma (@EmmaS_1989) reported

    @virginmedia Your telephone advisors are extremely rude, especially the last person we have just spoken to. I’d like it if you could help us out with making a formal complaint.

  • BookwormClaire Claire Dobson (@BookwormClaire) reported from Amesbury, England

    What is going on with @virginmedia ? Total blackout from 12.30 until 8.30am then again from 11.30am, still ongoing. We have issues quite regularly but generally just for an hour or 2. Think I'll be heading back to Sky once this contract comes to an end.

  • carlosmills94 Carl (@carlosmills94) reported

    @virginmedia Very unstable connection and speed is not as promised. My printer could not connect to the your particular server which highlights all the issues.
