  • wlasinclair Wendy Sinclair RN (@wlasinclair) reported from Hindley, England

    @virginmedia Yes I’ve tried a few times but I keep getting cut off when they don’t know how to deal with the query. I’ll keep trying and maybe someone will be able help!! Thank you 🙏

  • northernmicks Kenneth Owen (@northernmicks) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia that's the problem businesses assume customers are happy to spend their lives phoning them and be happy wasting hours and hours

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

    @virginmedia not on all channels, I’ve turned the box off and very much doubt I’ll be turning it back on with such a poor service lately

  • Lara__1302 LaraB (@Lara__1302) reported from Abram, England

    @virginmedia I haven’t but now that I have a link I will try that. Fingers crossed they will be able to resolve the issue

  • Lara__1302 LaraB (@Lara__1302) reported from Abram, England

    @virginmedia It’s for mine and my daughters mobile. Been going on now for 2 days. Can’t make or receive calls. Been into Virgin store today and they gave me a new sim. But couldn’t help with checking to see if there were issues in my area.

  • bizzarebird BBird (@bizzarebird) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia But the package I have is old now it doesn't exist. I don't have HD channel for itv2. And pay so much basic phone line and Internet so pay over odds. Price increases on an outdated package. You think 10 years as a customer I could upgrade my package to a current TV one

  • lorraineayrton Lorraine Ayrton (@lorraineayrton) reported from Bolton, England

    @blackheartorch @virginmedia 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 is all I have to say right now. Just want to talk to a human and not deal with an automated service x

  • northernmicks Kenneth Owen (@northernmicks) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia i telephoned because i wanted to reduce my services, the first call offered reduction to 47.95, never happened, second call refused to call me, third call apologies for lack of action confirmed reduction and a credit again nothing happened

  • raydeluce Ray Mondoosh De'luce (@raydeluce) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia It was affecting the wireless connection on and off for over 6 hrs to the point where I switched wifi off on my phone! I'll not hold my breath for today but I'll certainly be in touch if this problem Carrie's on today!

  • metallicageek John Sharrock (@metallicageek) reported from St Helens, England

  • lorraineayrton Lorraine Ayrton (@lorraineayrton) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia OK I am getting mad 🤬🤬🤬 This has been my problem I CANNOT GET THROUGH TO A HUMAN BEING. Everything is automated. When I try to call it goes round the houses and then the call drops. #lostacustomer #igiveup

  • raydeluce Ray Mondoosh De'luce (@raydeluce) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia There are some issues with the tv, some channels are completely un watchable, channel 4 HD & +1 for the moment, I will check the rest

  • lorraineayrton Lorraine Ayrton (@lorraineayrton) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia I have tried EVERYTHING to speak to a human however the automated rubbish doesn’t let me get there. It just tells me there is a problem that you are trying to fix. Clearly I am aware there is a problem and has been for sometime I have done all usual diagnostics my end

  • Mamafish_TW Patricia 💜 (@Mamafish_TW) reported from Hove, England

    @virginmedia Unfortunately the first member of staff disconnected our call then the second member was fairly rude so I think it’s time for me to move on and get better service and something I can afford, I’ve been trying for the past year to get a better deal but never got more than this.

    @virginmedia you’re broadband service is a disgrace. Constant reoccurring issues. Ur not paid for a service to work half the time you’re paid for it work all the time. Your help service is also a joke. Ppl reading canned responses, never really understanding or offer any reason😡
