  • Shellifumi Steve Shelbourne (@Shellifumi) reported from Aintree Village, England

    @AllenWeso6 @1878shadow @virginmedia Just binned them off to go back to Sky. Been paying for the all singing and dancing fibre broadband and it’s slower then my work mobile router! TV picture is dog rough and my Virgin Mobile sim won’t take calls from anyone on the EE network when I’m connected to the WiFi! See ya!

  • Nicole_Baker Coley B (@Nicole_Baker) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England

    @virginmedia As was promised (via, text, tweet and written correspondence!!) I have spent countless hours on hold to no resolve. I will await your promised call. Each day I don't receive said call/contact I will continue to demonstrate publicly how bad your customer services are..

  • Shellifumi Steve Shelbourne (@Shellifumi) reported from Aintree Village, England

    @AllenWeso6 @1878shadow @virginmedia Same here sort of mate. Only noticed how poor it was since I stopped working away and started working from home.

  • jeniandersonw Jen (@jeniandersonw) reported from Wigan, England

    Just spoke to @virginmedia attempting to rectify broadband issues - their suggestion is to “sit closer to the hub” Brilliant wish I had thought of that..!

  • PHEFC83 PH (@PHEFC83) reported from Liverpool, England

    @caffyhank @virginmedia They are shite. I left them 2 weeks ago due to the same issue. 100mb and was getting like 2mb. Although when I phoned up a few days before disconnection, they messed with my settings and I got 100mb!!

  • babybio18 Tracy Abraham 💙💙 (@babybio18) reported from Wigan, England

    Need a new internet provider @virginmedia your service has become unreliable. When I’m trying to learn online and have lost service at least 5 times today already 🤬 #nothappy

  • Christerphurr Chris Mann (@Christerphurr) reported from Preston, England

    @virginmedia our broadband is down, any idea when this will be back up?

  • Nicole_Baker Coley B (@Nicole_Baker) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England

    @virginmedia Already tried this & the people who answer the calls aren't authorised to deal with it and so I get another promised phonecall which is never made!!! What are you going to do to rectify the problem that's been ongoing since November 2020?!?!?! @MartinSLewis #poorcustomerservice

  • babybio18 Tracy Abraham 💙💙 (@babybio18) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia Thank you for your help, after using the app we need a hub 3 as we have an outdated hub.

  • Nicole_Baker Coley B (@Nicole_Baker) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England

    @virginmedia am I to take your complete and utter silence as the refusal to resolve the outstanding complaint?!? the utter disregard you continuously display towards your customers is disgraceful. You should be ashamed. @MartinSLewis

  • Samanth32789588 #hellomynameis Samantha Miller (@Samanth32789588) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Your Customer Service really is so bad...looks like another hour long phone-call AGAIN with probably somebody AGAIN, who doesn’t know what they’re talking about. Definitely taking our customer else where after this 😡

  • TerryBpne Crazy Corner (@TerryBpne) reported from Walton le Dale, England

    @MintyPNE @virginmedia I ranted & got nowhere. My wife got an engineer round and job sorted (V box on 2nd room) They don't care about customer service.

  • MILoft91 Mark (@MILoft91) reported from Haydock, England

    I’m paying for 500mb broadband and it’s averaging 15mb?! Wtf @virginmedia

  • Nathann_B Nathan Booth (@Nathann_B) reported from Liverpool, England

    Is it just me or @virginmedia mobile gone down 🤬🤬

  • Nicole_Baker Coley B (@Nicole_Baker) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England

    @virginmedia Ooo a response! Now I have a dilemma - do I have to complain about the length of time it took to even try to help me with my original complaint? I do sincerely hope I actually get somewhere this time. The time I have spent trying to resolve this is astronomical!

  • hasrock36 Emma Marie 🏳️‍⚧️ twitch.tv/hasrock36 (@hasrock36) reported

    Seriously @virginmedia how have you built a website so baffling that even I can't navigate it, I know what the issue is why are you hiding your online chat you claim to have?

  • Rebecca_L_N_ Rebecca Lockwood Norris (@Rebecca_L_N_) reported

    @smithsmm When the Virgin Media engineer came to fix a fault, our line was plugged in to a house across the street when fixing another issue, he pulled the connection "pod" out of a hole in the ground about 80% deep in water. The water caused the crackle they came to address originally!

  • conorbarbour conor barbour (@conorbarbour) reported

    @virginmedia having ping spikes while gaming on the 500 mb wired connection, I only have 5 devices in my household and can't seem to get anywhere with helpline after getting through 4 times. Iv also had an engineer out the the house that couldn't find the problem.

  • TehMeerkat Skylarkings (@TehMeerkat) reported
