  • textmaniaa Tracey Brooks (@textmaniaa) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia what's the point in sending a letter stating if yr service hasn't resumed by 5pm ring this number. When they shut at 5pm. Poor service again from virgin media. Nearly 8pm and still no tele or broadband. What a joke of a company.

  • Alison_hh Alison Hesketh-Holt (@Alison_hh) reported from Leyland, England

    Absoloutley disgusted with @virginmedia been on hold for 2 hours - I'm an existing customer and one agent has hung on me!!! I want to discuss my existing contract with them. How the hell are you supposed to speak to the complaints department or a manager in charge!

  • allensmith566 Allen Smith (@allensmith566) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Engineer came and replaced my box. Excellent service and I am a happy customer 👍

  • Childwallcable Tony Zeverona (@Childwallcable) reported from Liverpool, England

  • allensmith566 Allen Smith (@allensmith566) reported from Bolton, England

    Properly raining. I hope my @virginmedia engineer can sail through and fix my TiVo box 🌧

  • springviewer John Edgar (@springviewer) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia As per usual there’ll be no problems in the area, I’ll get told to unplug the box, then you’ll book an engineer for about 5days time, meanwhile the problem magically disappears #badservice

  • spuddy1878 Neil (@spuddy1878) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Two different mobile phones and no joy at all. It’s picking up another WiFi signal from someone else but not from my home.

  • DJGlassBack ⭐⭐⭐LFC⭐⭐⭐ (@DJGlassBack) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia @BryanThePirate I pay for the highest package you have and I dont have the v6 box I very rarely have bloody wifi like this morning it's not working again! Time after time after time it breaks down

  • ShitofHan Hannah (@ShitofHan) reported from Liverpool, England

    I hope to god my mum gets rid of @virginmedia this week! Sick of her paying like £112 for shut service. I’m constantly on 4G

  • JoelLJelen JoelJelen (@JoelLJelen) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia it’s 2019, your online customer service is so poor and your offline telephone service saw me waiting 15 mins and still in a queue! Given up.

  • springviewer John Edgar (@springviewer) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia strange I read all the posts about Virgin customers ringing up about cancelling services and Virgin offering them a better deal however I ring up and cancel a service with no trouble at all, not even offering a lower price, your loss #virginmedia

  • mymatedex @gm (@mymatedex) reported from Aintree Village, England

    @virginmedia There’s no service issue, the engineer had punctured the cabling with a cable tack. It stops the fibre optic cable from working. I removed it but not before having to sit on the phone for 30 minutes after me complaining the other day about your inept installation team

  • mickryanphoto Mick Ryan (@mickryanphoto) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia COM103473607 but as I said I have a deadlock letter.... I have no confidence due to the fact your company seems to neglect the real issue here! Telling my 82 yr old mother her dead husband ordered Sky Movies from the grave! A service neither of them are/were interested in

  • zaracharles Zara (@zaracharles) reported from Liverpool, England

    TWO hrs spent on to @virginmedia trying 2 fix my continuous starting up screen. Was promised a call back the following evening, which never happened !!! Feel I have been more than patient, to be majorly let down #whatamipayingfor 😡

  • shaunbentley Shaun (@shaunbentley) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia Trip haziest outside my house cables running to next door which were supposed to be temporary, unstable service, rattling router, some of these issues have been resolved. Others haven’t. I’ve asked for final response but no one will talk to me about this.

  • Liam_Hawksey Goth Scouser (@Liam_Hawksey) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia Never mind, I reset the box and it’s fine now

  • rian951 Rian Murray (@rian951) reported from Westhoughton, England

    @virginmedia Well unless you can help with a booster - customer services wanted £360 for an EE one! Most other providers offer WiFi Calling!

  • rossmitton84 Ross Mitton (@rossmitton84) reported from Bolton, England

    @David4Charnock @virginmedia Ha ha!! You’re getting help off my issue!! On hold for over an hour and live chat keeps disconnecting as no advisors are available!!

  • connorward788 Connor Ward 🎮🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@connorward788) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, I’ve not been able to connect to WiFi for over 8 hours now? I’ve tried resetting router and also checked to see if there’s a problem in my area with the postcode checker and it says, everything is fine but I still can’t connect?? Router has 2 green flash lights

  • CarolMcn81 Carol Mcnelis (@CarolMcn81) reported

    @virginmedia my service has been terrible since I was "upgraded" to faster service. Buffers and cuts out constantly 😔

  • abigailakua_ ohemaa💋 (@abigailakua_) reported

  • Santosh_mtiwari esantiw (@Santosh_mtiwari) reported

    @virginmedia JS, If that , please don't force me to come through a call to cancel my account. I don't want to go through a retention call. I have already raised a complaint ticket. Prices were raised , I have the letter which says I can cancel, I want to cancel. it is as simple as that.

  • MarcDanyluk 🅜🅐🅡🅒 🅓🅐🅝🅨🅛🅤🅚 💙 (@MarcDanyluk) reported

    @virginmedia Hi. The sound keeps dropping out every few seconds and it’s only happening on HD channels. Reboot has not fixed it. How do I fix it, it’s driving me insane and I hate watching television in SD. HELP!!!

  • EmPerrett Emily Rose (@EmPerrett) reported

    @virginmedia trying to leave, appears you can only do this on the phone & we haven’t been able to get through for days. We’ve had speeds from 2.68-12.1mbps today - our min guaranteed is 54mbps 😑 How do I cancel my contract? Thx

  • GaryFisher5 Gary Fisher (@GaryFisher5) reported

    @virginmedia awful. Truly, truly awful. You promised us we would have our broadband ready in our new home on the 13th January. Emailed me on the evening of the 12th to reschedule to 27th. Myself and my wife have to work from home.

  • dizzlekicks2603 🅳🅸🆉🆉🆈 🤪 (@dizzlekicks2603) reported

    @virginmedia Customer service may be shocking and a waste of time getting through on the phone. But at least your engineers are very helpful.
