    @virginmedia Hi, Website says no known issues, however landline has been down since yesterday morning. Engineer booked for Monday, however we have an extremely sick relative who needs to be in contact, nobody on phone (from mobile) is helping with call transfers!

  • stu_the_supply Stuart (@stu_the_supply) reported from Liverpool, England

    Yet again had to phone @virginmedia as the broadband is not working properly 2nd time in two days they’ve had to reboot it glad I’m missing the footy again 🤬🤬

  • danashurst Dan Ashurst (@danashurst) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia Whoops. Maybe I should have clarified...My connection is fine, it's your packages that need to change to give more upload capacity to customers. P.s you guys deliver a solid service to me, and have done for years.

  • anfield_sports Anfield Sports (@anfield_sports) reported from Liverpool, England

    Sick of how bad our @virginmedia WiFi is. Off more than it is on lately.Yet they don't make contact with us to explain why or any money back for lack of service we receive.Couple that up with having to add data on to our phones to make up for it and fair to say we are p*ssed off

  • BarryWalters7 Barry Walters (@BarryWalters7) reported from Seaforth, England

    @virginmedia Landline down has been down for 2 days, spent over 3 hours trying to speak with someone to help but nobody is able to help. Have a sick relative who needs to be in constant touch but yet again Virgin doesn’t care about their customers!

  • RedElectro Red Electro (@RedElectro) reported from Warrington, England

    Well, @richardbranson @virginmedia - been a customer since the Telewest days, but the broadband service is almost unusable now. I don’t know what’s going wrong, but you’re going to start losing customers rapidly, if you don’t get this sorted.

  • AlisonHopkin Alison Wright ♌️ (@AlisonHopkin) reported from Ellesmere Port, England

    @virginmedia sick of this number calling me 07531100101 claiming to be from BT Open reach saying my rooter is slow. Sort out the scammers calling my landline

  • ResidentStevil7 𝕾𝖙𝖊 (@ResidentStevil7) reported from Hindley, England

    @virginmedia keep ringing me on a daily basis! Sometimes I can’t answer and they leave a long, silent voicemail! When I do answer, they put the phone down on me! I know it’s Virgin because if I try to ring back I get a recorded msg saying they’ll try again soon!

  • bronwynevery Bronwyn Every (@bronwynevery) reported from Wigan, England

    Dont think there is a worst company to get in touch with than @Virgin 🤯 heads fell off. #virginmedia

  • k_birc Keith Birchall (@k_birc) reported from Wigan, England

    Three different calls today from people claiming to be from @virginmedia wanting to fix 'faults' on my line by installing software on my phone. I find these funny and drag the calls out but some people may be fooled.

  • nathanrigby__96 Nath (@nathanrigby__96) reported from Tyldesley, England

    @virginmedia Internet went off last night in the area and it said it would be sorted for 10:30am this morning now the status has changed but still no ones internet is working, rebooting doesn’t help

  • KazF2010 Karen Jacqueline (@KazF2010) reported from Westhoughton, England

    @Netflixhelps No error message but it takes ages to load and then will pause..... and not play...... never know such a slow service considering I'm paying extra for this on @virginmedia

  • hayleybaker25 Hayley Baker (@hayleybaker25) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia problems again with virgin broadband and phone in my area not good enough.👎

  • kirst_louisexxo Kirst-Lou✨💛💜 (@kirst_louisexxo) reported from Liverpool, England

    There’s a problem with your virgin media no shit. You’re doing updates in my area; I’m off uni sick as a dog with no internet, no tele nothing. **** sake.

  • steveeades Steve Eades (@steveeades) reported from Runcorn, England

    @virginmedia poor customer services this evening, on hold for over an hour to only be cut off. Clearly not interested in existing customers, only new with very expensive monthly costs for the same poor service.

  • danashurst Dan Ashurst (@danashurst) reported from Wigan, England

    @Scott_Helme Damn. That upload is faster then what @virginmedia give me on my cable line!

  • KazF2010 Karen Jacqueline (@KazF2010) reported from Westhoughton, England

    @virginmedia Instead of providing all these "upgrades" to the service how about just providing a SERVICE that we pay for 🤬

  • paulhallett6 paul hallett (@paulhallett6) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia it's been a good day today I left @virginmedia as they were the worst company I have ever had to deal with..... I hope I never hear from you again

  • piggin_shazza sharrondarnell (@piggin_shazza) reported from Widnes, England

    @virginmedia Your customer service is absolutely garbage how many people am I expected to speak to and how long do i have to wait to get something resolved.

  • basher5000 (@basher5000) reported from Standish, England

    @virginmedia Hi the app says service is fine but when using text message constantly says not delivered but I only realise when I go back in later ... I think it’s poor signal in my home because I go outside it works ....

    @virginmedia Shame you treat your long term customers like crap

    Hi @virginmedia There's been an intermittent fault on the broadband for days. Tried to fix it online and now just spent 45 minutes waiting for someone to pick up from your help line and it just cut off. There are two people trying to do interviews for PhD places in the household.

  • LisaKathryn5 Lisa Kathryn (@LisaKathryn5) reported from St Albans, England

    @virginmedia is on demand down for the night? Several reboots, called 150 , robot voice ran the so called check and said all was ok. V217 code brings up ‘contact us’ error on the ‘brilliant’ new app. Please advise

  • SW4Stu Stu Dawson (@SW4Stu) reported

    @virginmedia Why can nobody ever get through to your staff when service is down? Internet just gone randomly in SW11 1RD and done all tests my end your website suggested but cannot reach anyone??? Can someone just answer or phone or put information somewhere visible.

  • 7saint9 Graeme (@7saint9) reported

    @virginmedia Binging on box sets? The ones that are never available?
