  • Stephjjmn Steph Nash (@Stephjjmn) reported from Wigan, England

    @stevenfrost3003 @virginmedia @skytv We had the same problems, went to Sky who are much cheaper with better deals and service, never looked back 👍🏼

  • scottcvrroll Scott Carroll (@scottcvrroll) reported from Liverpool, England

    @JacobAlderHam @virginmedia Shocking isn’t it mate, I’ve not been able to use streaming devices or gaming devices for a few weeks without constant spikes and buffering. I pay for 200 down and receive about 40... so much packet loss. Shambles.

  • aliyashystghani Aliya shystha Ghani (@aliyashystghani) reported from Preston, England

    @virginmedia literally the worst thing ever

  • mallen_87 Matt Allen #StayHomeSaveLives (@mallen_87) reported from Horwich, England

    @virginmedia They keep closing it and I have to start from scratch. The issue is that my contract and my sales agreement are different. I thought I was getting somewhere last night when an advisor told me they’d get a manager. Instead they closed my chat

  • renzair Renzair (@renzair) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia If your internet service to St. Helens could be anything other than complete dogshit for more than five minutes that’d be swell. Since 7:30 this morning, constant outages of internet service. STILL happening at 16:00. Thanks (for nothing). Again.

  • isleethere Keenan Jay (@isleethere) reported from Preston, England

    @virginmedia worst broadband experience so far. Been trying for 6 hours to get help from virgin media about my new broadband router and I havent got ANYWHERE. Please help me virgin, I have uni dissertation to do and NO INTERNET THANKS TO UR REPRESENTATIVES

  • Bwfc1976 Gareth barlow.... (@Bwfc1976) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia I can't get in touch to cancel my Internet pls help me out

  • pauldmcdermott Paul McDermott (@pauldmcdermott) reported from Newton-le-Willows, England

    @a_tunstall @virginmedia Cancel the DD and rest assured they will be in touch 👌🏼

  • aboardy Alison Boardman (@aboardy) reported from Walton le Dale, England

    @virginmedia spoken to your “customer service”. Advised that promises for call back on live chat cannot be traced and nothing they could do. The call centre apparently has no record of live chat conversations. Advisor seemed to blame me! For a media company very poorly connected

  • ZHaxhifazliu Zeliha Haxhifazliu (@ZHaxhifazliu) reported from Liverpool, England

    @vmbusiness at this current time working from home under so much stress and pressure the last thing you need is your broadband playing up. This is not acceptable we ate paying for a service which is currently nonexistent. Wifi goes down every 5 min. Please can you look into this

  • aboardy Alison Boardman (@aboardy) reported from Walton le Dale, England

    @virginmedia reported slow speeds on Sunday. Promised a call back between 2 and 4 hours. Not received. Not getting the minimum guaranteed broadband speed yet paying in full. Proving difficult to speak to anybody. You appear not to care. #poorcustomerservice

  • 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

  • webbynfluk Raymond Webster (@webbynfluk) reported from Penwortham, England

    Problems in PR1 can anyone help me out my boss will think I'm skiving @virginmedia #preston #virginmedia

  • ndmerc Nick Mercer (@ndmerc) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia customers suffering the usual standard of service from virgin Media again. Denial of service should see customers compensated, customer service appears to be the lowest priority.

  • isleethere Keenan Jay (@isleethere) reported from Preston, England

    @virginmedia your isolator cable for my new router will ot plug into my wall outlet. Please help me. Dissertation due.

  • aboardy Alison Boardman (@aboardy) reported from Walton le Dale, England

    @virginmedia also run tests. All came back fine. Significantly below minimum guaranteed speed. Average 20mbps. Disappointed that I was promised a call and never got it. Been on hold too long. Appalling service.

  • StewRuns Stew 🏃‍♂️🐐 (@StewRuns) reported from Wigan, England

    Dear @virginmedia the wifi out of your router is ****!

  • helen_c_murphy Helen C Murphy (@helen_c_murphy) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia having issues with connectivity & slow speed. I'm working from home & this is causing me a LOT of stress. I still have targets. Hard to do when the internet is crawling & up & down like a yoyo. Been like this for 2 weeks. Diagnostics say no problem 😥😭

  • Cuttsrich rich cutts (@Cuttsrich) reported from Tyldesley, England

    @virginmedia hi can help please. TV service down with new reinstalled tivo box

  • brownpigeon1 Brown Pigeon (@brownpigeon1) reported from Liverpool, England

    @APATBillShep @virginmedia Been blaming my connection problems on knackered laptop in the Swan, but general concensus appears to be that @virginmedia is just crap

  • Bobs420Bobs M Pez (@Bobs420Bobs) reported

    @virginmedia Why are you telling customers that service is normal when it isn't?? My web works on wifi but not on Ethernet. It connects, it disconnects, it connects, it disconnects. You owe me money back!! @Ofcom Virgin media are lying to their customers for 5days now!!

  • MagicIce Magic Ice (@MagicIce) reported from Ramsgate, England

    Does anyone else on @virginmedia still geting internet outages and issues???

  • indie_arcade Greg Ireland (@indie_arcade) reported

    @virginmedia your customer service is the worst of any company I have ever experienced. I will be leaving the minute my contract expires.

  • Magikos_IT Magikos_IT (@Magikos_IT) reported

    @virginmedia Unable to call from the location directly as it's a care home and we are remotely monitoring the landline broadband going up and down. Any other checks you can perform?

  • 3balders69 Mark Baldwin (@3balders69) reported

    @johnwilliedean @virginmedia @Sonos Try virgin banking .....comical service

  • ComplxPSD Jay ✍🏼 (@ComplxPSD) reported

    @virginmedia i would like a full refund on my payment for this months service please or im moving to another provider your service is so so bad for a week its been on and off mostly off due to so called "Unknown reasons" pathetic.

  • DavidLemon777 David Lemon (@DavidLemon777) reported

    @virginmedia Oh yes. Tomorrow. Have a transcript of the live chat closing the account down, days spent on the phone, but still the texts come (and, ironically, so might an engineer now we've cancelled after 5 previous no shows.

  • jishi05 Jishi Jose (@jishi05) reported

    @virginmedia your customer service is a joke. Price is increased even when you are within a contract period. Your Sales team, online whatsApp service and telephone team all seems to have different price and packages.

  • rossyboyc Ross (@rossyboyc) reported

    @virginmedia Wired connection and it is still 5mb. Was 50mb for 10 minutes last night but still a problem in my area, like it has been for a week at least.

  • CraigAbbey7 Craig Abbey (@CraigAbbey7) reported

    Another day full of issues from @virginmedia Have people round to watch the football we’re paying a fortune for each month and we can’t watch it 😡 10 days of issues and counting #virginmedia #virginmediadown #VirginMediaoutage Looks like returning to @skytv
