  • Adzcantsing Adz can't sing (@Adzcantsing) reported from Penwortham, England

    @virginmedia useless we are trying to cancel and for past 2 weeks now since we have moved home. We have been pushed from pillar to post, been laughed at by customer service. Since we moved we have we've been promised someone will come and sort it.

  • LawAspi TheAspiLawStudent #NoReturns (@LawAspi) reported from Chorley, England

    @nerdscav @the_hinchy @virginmedia Yes because a WiFi extender will fix the issue when it's the incoming line and not the hardware 😳. The routers gives a 3ping and 1GBps connection. The issue is virgin's crappy network 👍

  • ylilxanoi 🥔 A bean has no name 🥔 (@ylilxanoi) reported from Wigan, England

    @Virgin @virginmedia I've had no Internet now for 14 days and my bill is due in 2 days. This is disgusting service, your call centre staff are useless, your engineers are useless, this is appalling for £52 a month. Sort the problem out now.

    @Virgin #virginmediadown Virgin media is an absolute bag of ****, pass it on

  • ylilxanoi 🥔 A bean has no name 🥔 (@ylilxanoi) reported from Wigan, England

    @Virgin @virginmedia #virginmediadown #VirginMedia Imagine paying £52 a month for Internet to be down for 5 days. We work from home. I've used all my 4g, had to buy more to do my job yet when you call up they say it'll be fixed by.. and keeps being postponeded. Fix it Virgin.

  • SourEnvy Elliot ⚽️🏈🎮 (@SourEnvy) reported from Preston, England

    @virginmedia Afternoon, I have an iPad with a Virgin SIM card that I no longer use. Obviously still need to pay off the monthly device fee but am I able to cancel the SIM plan?

  • ylilxanoi 🥔 A bean has no name 🥔 (@ylilxanoi) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia Internet is down in our area since Monday. I keep getting multiple emails saying it'll be fixed by 12pm tomorrow, then 4pm Wednesday 12pm Thursday, 12pm Friday and now 4pm Friday. None of your call centre staff can help us we've spent hours on hold this week.

  • J_w_D94 LeChonk (@J_w_D94) reported from Horwich, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I'm tweeting from the device I'm having connectivity and signal issues with, I've looked on the website and it's not stating if you're having network issues or not.

  • jameshughes911 James Hughes (@jameshughes911) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I would like to raise a formal complaint with the way I have been treated by your team today please. Your so called “Customer Service” is shocking and should be renamed “Customer Victimisation”. It is now my intention to cancel my contract after over 5 years loyalty

    @virginmedia SHOCKING company, put a complaint in that has been going on for nearly a year, manager Zane PROMISES you call backs 3 days on the run & says he'll restore your faith in them & FAILS to call you back until you chase him up. NEVER go with #virginmedia #shockingservice

  • tsittering Tommy Sitter (@tsittering) reported

    @virginmedia intermittent internet access with lots of downtime for more then 1 week (while working from home) is NOT acceptable. I was told it was fixed by email on the 16th. Now down again! I would like a pro-rata refund as I'm topping up my phone data just to work around.

  • lilmissymoo90 Lauren Blair♥ (@lilmissymoo90) reported

    @virginmedia The one you log in with you bank stuff yes I just never got any email after that to confirm anything

  • WDC1969 Wayne (@WDC1969) reported

    @virginmedia It's not a server issue this is a Virgin Media issue because it's happened in our last home too in completely different area with different equipment, VM are cutting the connection every hour for 1 minute for whatever reason and I'm not the only one with issue
