  • GayToryJon Jonathan (@GayToryJon) reported from Blackpool, England

    @virginmedia The work has been completed within 2 hours, which is commendable. Have checked my postcode and sadly you don’t offer a service here, even though it’s only about 20 feet from where they have just been working.

  • sam_forsyth87 Samantha Forsyth (@sam_forsyth87) reported from South Shore, England

    @virginmedia we are having lots of issue with our broadband. This has been for days now ! Please contact us. We have tried and tried to get through. Very frustrated customer !

  • GeminiAli Ali (@GeminiAli) reported from South Shore, England

    @virginmedia keep me on hold for 40 minutes then answer and cut me off. Shocking service. Ive tried to update online and get told I have to call. Twice I've been cut off after being on hold and or answered. Conveniently can't email either 😡😡

  • Oscarmeg Michael Dugdale (@Oscarmeg) reported from South Shore, England

    @virginmedia Repeated wifi failure causing issues trying to stream any catch up or live channels. Wifi drops at random intervals. Poor signal strength through my property. Failure to organise the booster as promised way back in September. Failure to call me back after request for my number.

  • Oscarmeg Michael Dugdale (@Oscarmeg) reported from South Shore, England

    @virginmedia your service for the price I pay is a bloody joke! I can’t watch a film on the cinema channels I pay for without it pausing every 30 seconds to buffer. There’s no technical help available. I want my subscription money back thank you!

  • JackDSprigg Jack Sprigg (@JackDSprigg) reported from South Shore, England

    @callumtay_ @virginmedia Chat shit, you’re just bad

  • archer74376245 archer (@archer74376245) reported from South Shore, England

    @virginmedia @BAFTA Great broadband absolutely lousy customer service been trying to sort out something on my account since March so had to cancel and go to sky what a shame they don’t care about existing customers

  • trev0rj0nes trevor jones (@trev0rj0nes) reported from Southport, England

    So @virginmedia has gone down ....... keep calm it's not the end of the world it will be back up working faster than us getting let out again

  • Oscarmeg Michael Dugdale (@Oscarmeg) reported from South Shore, England

    @virginmedia No, that’s never been given to me as an option

  • SammyKnowlesX SJK (@SammyKnowlesX) reported from Banks, England

    @virginmedia absolutely regret going with you. Nothing but trouble ever since we joined 😤🤬

  • TheICC_Sandra Sandra Jane Eyre (@TheICC_Sandra) reported from Southport, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for your reply, the issue is the cable from our house to the road. Needs a construction team, I understand it may take a few weeks but zero comms. Everything I call the tech dept they want to sell me a booster!

  • TheICC_Sandra Sandra Jane Eyre (@TheICC_Sandra) reported from Southport, England

    Great service from online service (text) and very helpful call from technical support today from @virginmedia, new hub on way to hopefully resolve issues #customerservice #FirstWorldProblems

  • TheICC_Sandra Sandra Jane Eyre (@TheICC_Sandra) reported from Southport, England

    @virginmedia The 4 people I spoke to seemed to think they were running late from the visit last Thursday, lady I spoke to was helpful and was calling the tech that visited the problem, another 5 days later and still no update!

  • LentilLover Christine H (@LentilLover) reported from Blackpool, England

    @OrganisedPauper Terrible service from #virginmobile #virginmedia is this the best you can do?

  • SammyKnowlesX SJK (@SammyKnowlesX) reported from Banks, England

    @virginmedia I’ve spoken with someone in the new development team who’s advised they’ve escalated all my complaints and someone should be ringing me directly to take through and fix everything. However no response

  • Billyburdess3 Billy burdess (@Billyburdess3) reported from Blackpool, England

    @tizo59 @virginmedia Was this fixed I have the same problem

  • TheICC_Sandra Sandra Jane Eyre (@TheICC_Sandra) reported from Southport, England

    Feeling let down AGAIN by @virginmedia, 8 days ago an engineer finally identifies the problem is external cabling, another hour call on Tuesday and still no idea of a fix date or a call back, in the meantime constant broadband drop out #unacceptable

  • SammyKnowlesX SJK (@SammyKnowlesX) reported from Banks, England

    @virginmedia And no response on my second, and then an incorrect bill, this is why someone is meant to be ringing me to sort it out and deal properly as I’m so angry with the service received

  • TerraceFabulous TerraceFabulous (@TerraceFabulous) reported

    @ZoologyDave @virginmedia I’ve been trying for weeks and weeks to get my broadband sorted. £130 a month for something that won’t work. They act like it’s my fault. This company is dire. I can’t even leave as that team won’t pick up. Highly recommend no one to use this company it’s terrible

  • AimOshin Amy Oshin (@AimOshin) reported

    @virginmedia absolutely shocking customer services! Initially mis-sold a package, wrong equipment turned up, told the correct equipment was out of stock then someone else got it out to me?!? We now cannot activate the box and I’ve been on hold between depts for 2 hrs!!!! 😡🤬😡

  • wirebird50 Carol Rivas (@wirebird50) reported

    @virginmedia was without #internet yesterday, costly and annoying for us, but has become impossible to report this on @virginmedia site as a service issue without engineer callout. Is this to make yourselves look good for @02 ? Please #compensate us.

  • markmacnicol Mark MacNicol (@markmacnicol) reported

    @virginmedia can’t get through to one of your tech support people (do they exist? or is all self/online support?) been on hold for over an hour any ideas?

  • Parklands_Ward Parklands LD Focus Team (@Parklands_Ward) reported

    @virginmedia further complaint about your contractor's destruction of grass and the daffodils beneath them at Burnside Road NE3. You don't seem to care but maybe potential customers will consider what you think about their environment

  • lukebrrown Luke Brown (@lukebrrown) reported

    @virginmedia Have done and there's no loose connections... Nothing has changed, the internet just cut out yesterday around 2PM - haven't been able to get online since. We're having to hotspot using our mobile data. Please help us get this sorted ASAP.

  • Archie2209 Hayley Archie (@Archie2209) reported

    @virginmedia and the account still isn’t sorted! I myself am with you and never had this experience but it’s definitely left a bad taste and my poor mum still has to call up again and hope she isn’t forgotten again! Please think about streamlining a bereavement line in future!

  • j_leisten James Leisten (@j_leisten) reported

    @virginmedia something needs to be done about your customer service! I’ve been passed from pillar to post and no one will let me leave🤬 #sortitout

  • Shannyyy3 Shans (@Shannyyy3) reported

    @andybullwba @virginmedia I’m on hold right now because I have the exact same issue!

  • Chrissanders13 Chris Sanders (@Chrissanders13) reported

    @virginmedia just had your equipment installed, tv not working, broadband download speeds only 20mb not the 500mb I am supposed to get and to top it all off I can’t log in online because your forgot password system is not working, any chance of some help before I go back to sky?
