  • AndyMcK1982 Andy McKeown (@AndyMcK1982) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia The technician came on Wednesday & did a wired connection test. We are only getting 180meg which is terrible considering we are paying for 300meg! My children can’t get a signal at all whereas they were fine before! Two visits and still not resolved!

  • Kayls3457 Kayleigh Speakman (@Kayls3457) reported from Abram, England

    @virginmedia I appreciate that, however, this is not the first time and I'm guessing it won't be the last. Praying a lot of money for a service that doesn't work!

    @virginmedia I emailed you a few days ago regarding an issue I have,I've not had any reply yet and I'm getting only half the service I signed up and am paying for.

  • Libra_Comms Ali Gudgeon ✍🏻️ (@Libra_Comms) reported from Preston, England

    @virginmedia just wasted two hours on web chat trying to get a better sim deal as advertised. 45 mins to get through security. Tried to check/sign in on the Virgin mobile app and it doesn’t work for me or my husband, despite having an account for years. An absolute joke! 👎🏻

  • cadeharry Nightsky Ceilings (@cadeharry) reported from Euxton, England

    @virginmedia You are the worse Internet provider in the PR postcode what has happened 4weeks now intermittent service its like flip a coin to see if the Internet is working. And the lies about adjusting my bill has never happened time to say goodbye.

  • ListerTheStupid Rob (@ListerTheStupid) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia seen on your website you offer a free WiFi booster for 1Gig fibre customers. How do I get one? The WiFi sucks in some rooms

  • CoZWeLL CoZWeLL (@CoZWeLL) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia @SkySportsBoxing chance of sorting the **** picture we’ve paid £26 for out? Cracking and cutting out constantly.

  • lewishorsey92 Lewis Horsfield (@lewishorsey92) reported from Warton, England

    @virginmedia your internet is ******* **** paying all this money for your internet service to go down at least once a week. Absolutely shite

  • TGVMD TGVMD (@TGVMD) reported from Maghull, England

    @virginmedia internet down again in L31 what’s the fix time?

  • Kayls3457 Kayleigh Speakman (@Kayls3457) reported from Abram, England

    @virginmedia Again fully appreciate and understand that. However, elderly vulnerable person has to rely on this service and it is intermittent and not reliable

  • Kayls3457 Kayleigh Speakman (@Kayls3457) reported from Abram, England

    @virginmedia After weeks of a landline service being non-existent I was assured this would be fixed yesterday, it's not! Vulnerable isolating person relies on this to keep in touch and in emergencies. Not good enough yet again. Fed up of feeling fobbed off!

  • JoeHolmes1994 Joe (@JoeHolmes1994) reported from Leigh, England

    @virginmedia are actually have the WORST customer service ever. No wonder they have never won any awards

  • gaseki84 DeadSilverSky (@gaseki84) reported

    @virginmedia #staydisconnectedvirgin so, after a week from installation in the house (advised it would be self install) I'm still not connected to your network. You want to charge me 2 months in advance! Is that a joke or a purposeful scam?

  • Sassenachgr Sassenach🇬🇷🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Sassenachgr) reported

    @virginmedia I've sent a complaint already,today my bill went from £35 to £59,i called to cancel and I had to deal with an extremely rude advisor.Can I escalate the issue to management team Please?

  • missradders Hannah 🙋🏻‍♀️ (@missradders) reported

    @virginmedia I have spent 26 hours text chatting. Will this be any different to that? I have multiple lessons to teach online tomorrow. If we can arrange a specific time and it won’t drag on like the text service, then yes please.

  • missradders Hannah 🙋🏻‍♀️ (@missradders) reported

    @virginmedia the whole service, otherwise I’m unclear why I’ve been paying for that phone service if it’s not actually a prerequisite for being with you? The text says you’re closing the account, I assumed you were? 11am would be perfect. Thank you.

  • RafiMauro1 Rafi Mauro-Benady (@RafiMauro1) reported

    @virginmedia Hi there, my WiFi’s not working. Are you guys down in Vauxhall? It says Network Availability C133?

  • jntknnn Me💙 (@jntknnn) reported

    @virginmedia I think it might be because the internet doesn’t seem to reach that room it just keeps saying we’re having trouble playing this title at the moment

  • moleysmum8 Abigail Gavigan (@moleysmum8) reported

    @virginmedia Since Sunday they are unable to send emails, Virgin was down on Sunday and since then emails wont send. It says there is an issue with the server. The staff say there isnt. Spoke to my parents like they were stupid. They maybe 74 but are far from stupid.

  • Ed6114 Ed61 (@Ed6114) reported

    @virginmedia Eng came last year, 93k faults logged in Hub3. Couldn’t clear them. Replaced the hub and then said there was an error between exchange and box in street. Another engineer looked at that, said there wasn’t an issue and would get back to us in a week. Funnily enough they didn’t

  • MickMatto Mick Mattison (@MickMatto) reported

    @virginmedia I’m beyond that John , if revised contract comes through incorrect I will cancel , As a customer I have gone above and beyond in trying to be loyal for being with you over 14years ,I’ve tweeted to make your company aware of very poor service
