    @virginmedia There’s absolutely nothing wrong with the phone, I can travel to different areas and get 4 bars on my phone and it works no problem, the problem is in the area I live.The reception always used to be fine but for quite some time now it’s been awful, I currently have one bar.

  • ShimmiArt ✨Shimmi✨ Comms open! (@ShimmiArt) reported from Preston, England

    @virginmedia internet yesterday went from 12mbs (11am) to 30mbs (3pm). Today it’s 3mbs. How is this acceptable? No reported issues but our internet goes up and down constantly, sometimes goes off altogether

  • Reducedfatross Ross Walker (@Reducedfatross) reported from Hindley, England

    Guarantees in life ... Death Taxes #virginmedia going down every bastard day 🙄 #virginmediadown

  • StephenMonk1970 The Monk (@StephenMonk1970) reported from Preston, England

    Virgin Mobile. Utterly useless. All I want is to send a text and call people. My bill isn't due until 8th May. There is no online help. Really cheesed off. #virginmobile #virginmedia #virginbilling

  • porlmurf Murph (@porlmurf) reported from Tyldesley, England

    @big_kev_83 @virginmedia @MENnewsdesk Yeah, bonus points if they point at whatever the problem is (pothole, loose paving etc)

  • GailCharnock Gail Charnock (@GailCharnock) reported from Shevington, England

    @virginmedia You are aware of the problem, told us it's a fault and it's being fixed by 12th April, it wasn't, we rang, you gave us reassurance it will be fixed by the 22nd, it hasn't, we rang got passed around a lot! Now you say it will be fixed 29th. Hands up if you would put up with this?

  • TazAliPreston Taz Ali (@TazAliPreston) reported from Preston, England

    @virginmedia can someone please message me. I have been struggling to get hold of someone to resolve a home telephone number. I have been promised call backs to resolve this long overdue complaint. But still waiting to speak to someone! #CustomerExperience

  • GaryBeggs_8 Gary Beggs (@GaryBeggs_8) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia can’t get through on the phone, so you launch an app to manage your own account, then when you try and make changes it sends you to a chat option which also you can’t get through on. Your service is an absolute joke !

  • SharonLLeonard Sharon Leonard (@SharonLLeonard) reported from Bryn, England

    @virginmedia Can they help do you think?

  • SharonLLeonard Sharon Leonard (@SharonLLeonard) reported from Bryn, England

    @virginmedia Would love it if they could come out and fix it, last visit did the best he could but I wonder do BT have better equipment?

  • DannyWyattXXX Danny Wyatt | OnlyFans 25% off (@DannyWyattXXX) reported from St Helens, England

    Anybody else having Virgin media problems? #virginmediadown

  • TazAliPreston Taz Ali (@TazAliPreston) reported from Preston, England

    @virginmedia can someone please message me. I have been struggling to get hold of someone to **** and resolve a home telephone. I have been promised call backs to resolve this long overdue complaint. But still wait to speak to someone!

  • lamsom Dave Gracey (@lamsom) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia Your mobile network is crap & your customer service is just as bad.

  • SharonLLeonard Sharon Leonard (@SharonLLeonard) reported from Bryn, England

    @virginmedia I don’t want DIY I want the service I pay for in my 3 bed house!

  • Elle83 Michelle E (@Elle83) reported from Walton le Dale, England

    @virginmedia why does my super hub 3 keep resetting my WiFi password. I’m having to change it through settings every other day because it keeps defaulting back to the security key, this is causing major issues

  • BenjiMaccers Benji McLoughlin (@BenjiMaccers) reported from Haydock, England

    @virginmedia Your online checker tells me my line is fine. It’s not. There was an outage yesterday, it came back on and now it’s off again. I’ve restarted the hub multiple times.

  • charl_middo Charlotte Louise Middleton (@charl_middo) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia what is the problem with the broadband in the L9 area?! It’s been dodgy for weeks now and my husband now has to use his phone as a hotspot to be able to actually work from home because the broadband is so shocking!

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

    @virginmedia Yet another WiFi and TV outage. Hence another...

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

    @virginmedia can someone explain that why after several issues I’ve had with you, that you think it’s ok, to hike up the bill £20 a month on a fixed fee contract?! #disgusting #poorservice #donotrecommend

  • ThePhilAtkinson Phil (@ThePhilAtkinson) reported from Liverpool, England

    Virgin Media is ******* awful. Anyone know of another Internet provider that isn't complete dogshit?

  • Pm11ddy Paul Middleton (@Pm11ddy) reported

    @virginmedia Again the advisor I spoke with when upgrading didn’t state that. If you get my phone and iPad to me sooner then it won’t be an issue. It’s really not very good or professional.

  • harminderd82 Harminder (@harminderd82) reported

    @haleyd1506 @virginmedia I also have the same issues Day 6 now utterly pathetic

  • Hilda_AA H.A (@Hilda_AA) reported

    @virginmedia I want to know when the complaint will be responded too. When an engineer will be sent out. Also I will not be paying for the 22 days of no internet.

  • cwelsh92 cwelsh92@icloud.com (@cwelsh92) reported

    @virginmedia Trying to cancel my broadband services that were set up in error earlier today - been on the phone for over an hour for someone to hang up sort this out this is unacceptable - you give 14 days notice but make it very hard to cancel

  • harminderd82 Harminder (@harminderd82) reported

    @haleyd1506 @virginmedia They know there a huge outage yet said it was priority 2 as not enough ppl reported it! I'm in UB8 too. It's insulting

  • ephemerasattic Ephemerasattic 😷🇪🇺#FBPE (@ephemerasattic) reported

    @virginmedia 🙄it’s not working! It says complete the field and won’t let me type anything. I’m doing this on my phone and using even more of my data 🤬🤬

  • Lauren99762087 Lauren (@Lauren99762087) reported
