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

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

  • 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

  • trev0rj0nes trevor jones (@trev0rj0nes) reported from Southport, England

    @virginmedia still no contact. Help me out here will you

  • 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.

  • colinlit colin littlejohns (@colinlit) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Why is broadband so bad @virginmedia please confirm as ypur service is appalling

  • 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 😥😭

  • 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

  • CharlieIDIC IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia Please give me the contact address I guess I will compile the complaint in full and send it to whom ever overseas Virgin’s false advertising, breach of contract and not fit for purpose service I cannot see that Virgin give a toss about their customers or trying to sort internet

  • 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 👍🏼

  • KathyyyLouiseee Kathy Louise (@KathyyyLouiseee) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I need to speak to someone urgently about Virgin showing a missed payment on my credit history back in August 2018, when I cancelled my internet back in June 2018 (which was made incredibly difficult by poor customer service at the time)

  • 2013jamiepep James Pepperd (@2013jamiepep) reported from St Helens, England

    £1260 per year for a 3rd rate service #VirginMedia

  • ewart71 Jim Ewart (@ewart71) reported from Leyland, England

    @virginmedia It’s not fixed yet @virginmedia still intermittently losing internet won the wired connection also on demand still not working without dropping out and encountering errors - get it fixed as we are sick of paying you top end broadband for nothing

  • HelenLloyd66 Tweety Pie 🐥 (@HelenLloyd66) reported from Chorley, England

    @virginmedia My internet and TV has been very spasmodic for a few weeks now which is annoying however it has and been down now for 24 hours. I am highly vulnerable and cannot leave the house no TV no internet this is not a service

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia literally the worst thing ever

  • 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

  • CharlieIDIC IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    Whatever you do think twice before joining @virginmedia it might look fast on paper but the 100mbs service is running slow in Kirkby when it runs at all. Customer service just blames Covid @VodafoneUK gave me prices really quickly by a lovely lady working from home

    Why is it so difficult for @virginmedia to get a bill correct or speak to someone who can actually help.

  • philliplit philliplittlewood (@philliplit) reported

    @virginmedia We changed our tv package in January and still haven't had the new channels switched on, the adviser my wife has been dealing with is working from home and not getting the issue sorted. His reply to her when she said I took to twitter was they can't help you I can dm you his no.

  • EndOfTheWedge Damascus Crowe (@EndOfTheWedge) reported

    @virginmedia deeply disappointed you used @YodelOnline to deliver my router, if you can call it a delivery. The collection point was open till 9pm and was a shop on a public high street. How did the driver FAIL to deliver it at 19.29?! Lobotomised monkeys could do a better job.
