    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

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

  • 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!

  • 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

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

    @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.

  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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?

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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 !

    @SeaThreePeeO @virginmedia Hope they fix it soon

  • weareH2H H2H (@weareH2H) reported

    @virginmedia I haven’t bothered wasting my time trying to get in contact any other way. I know too many people in my locality that have wasted hours getting nowhere. From what they have all been told, it’s the 14th. I’m self employed, it’s bad enough losing the internet let alone more time...

  • ravindertyagi ravinder tyagi (@ravindertyagi) reported

    @virginmedia is there a service issue in Cambridge as I am unable to get connected.

  • riafaye Miss Jeff (@riafaye) reported

    @virginmedia BIG COMPLAINT. I upgraded via the app to an offer. I took said offer to remain after my contract ends. I pulled out of a very good offer with another company as it was Black Friday week. I have an email confirming! Now I’m being told I cannot have this offer?????

  • joannasutton14 jojo (@joannasutton14) reported

    @virginmedia shocking service unfair to elderly customer. My friends package has gone up to £78 she doesn’t use the tv or phone. She need to reduce her package as can’t afford it and you keep ignoring her! If she doesn’t get a call I will help her put a complaint to the ombudsman

  • finallygav Gav (@finallygav) reported

    @virginmedia WiFi connection has returned but showing weak security and is extremely slow

  • SarahLouMcMahon Sarah Mc (@SarahLouMcMahon) reported

    @virginmedia 7 days wait for a response to a complaint. Plus multiple hours on the phone!! Not good enough. In the mean time 4 of us trying to work on unreliable wifi.

  • JackWinstanley Jack Potter (@JackWinstanley) reported

    @virginmedia SORT YOUR **** OUT YOU ******* JOKE OF A COMPANY.

  • SmileyJMH Joanna Hayes (@SmileyJMH) reported from Loughborough, England

    @virginmedia just had call from 'Harry' in London, your technical department. Apparently I'm having issues with broadband speed... His employer ID was 194, apparently? He was shouty, in very loud place, couldn't tell me who I was. Please look into number 01323897224. Infuriating.

  • SeaThreePeeO SeaTreePeeO (@SeaThreePeeO) reported

    @KarlocWoW @virginmedia We’ve only had this issue since they supposedly upgraded their equipment in the area. According to our online neighbourhood group we’re not the only ones
