🥔 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.
-
Carol Rowles (@CallyRaven) reported from Westhoughton, England@virginmedia And our Internet is down again this morning! So because its intermittent we don't get compensation, tried to call, can't get through (have to do it on mobile, our 'landline' is now internet reliant!)
-
Maureen StewartJones (@supergran22) reported from Eccleston, England@virginmedia Thanks. Very frustrating and time consuming. Spent whole afternoon trying to sort it. Twitter not really the best way to resolve issues especially with an 82 year old.
-
kevin.james (@pillbo01) reported from Bolton, England@virginmedia No as you person on 150 said you do not have a customer service that I could talk too. Your engineer said it was a fault at the box in street so I don’t know when it is fixed. But it’s not improve in the last month
-
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 👍
-
🥔 A bean has no name 🥔 (@ylilxanoi) reported from Wigan, England@Virgin #virginmediadown Virgin media is an absolute bag of ****, pass it on
-
Keith Bolton (@KeithJBolton) reported from St Helens, England@virginmedia WA9 4SA no Internet. Says no issues in my area but obviously there is
-
BeanBolt (@BeanBolt) reported from Southport, EnglandTenth issue in FOUR months now with @virginmedia. They've seemed to have stopped replying to my direct messages now. @WeAreOpenreach @bt_uk how long until you're newly installed lines in my area are activated and ready?
-
strange little Flo (@FloButcher84) reported from Blackburn, England@virginmedia bb3 area: internet has been down since yesterday morning & update it's not going to be fixed till tomorrow. I have a online business to run & kids need to do their homework online, can't stream any tv either. Can I ask what the issue is & why its taking so long?
-
Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England@virginmedia I looked and that says it’s from the day I registered the total loss of service which was yesterday but really it should be from Friday afternoon when I did the online chat. If I DM you can you check?
-
Bert Nash (@BertNashCha) reported from Bolton, England@virginmedia @VirginMedia_TV any help/advice on moving house. Want to stay with Virgin but can't speak to anyone and the home move team have said they've cancelled the policy? 3 days trying to speak to someone.
-
Richard Foster (@fos100) reported from New Longton, EnglandSince I moved, the @virginmedia connection has been terrible. I’ve had an engineer out, had a booster put on, been told on numerous occasions to reboot the hub. This shouldn’t be needed. Their website is horrendous to use and largely involves linking to help guides 1/?
-
🥔 A bean has no name 🥔 (@ylilxanoi) reported from Wigan, England@virginmedia We have. Multiple times. Your agents don't know how to help. Spoke to 3 different people. I'm getting contant update emails. I don't need to check the service. I know its down. This is beyond ridiculous. I work from home, I can't do my job because of your terrible service.
-
Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England@virginmedia can someone help me please? I’m about to lose my ****. Never ever known anything like this company. Now telling me lies on WhatsApp. Saying i logged an issue weeks after engineers had already been out to find the fault. Refusing compensation after 4 mths no service.
-
Lindz Devine (@LindzDDub) reported from Wigan, England@virginmedia @virginhelp I've never had this much issue as I have had today. I'm plugged in on ethernet, I've reset my hub, and checked my area and there is no issue at all. My WiFi is working from my hub but yet its booting me out of Destiny 2 and not just that but the chat parties on PS5 itself
-
David Jones (@davidbirkdale) reported from Southport, EnglandVery poor service from @virginmedia for a friend of mine in the Stockport area. No TV now due to failure of upgrade, engineer can only go on Tuesday. Better off with Sky!
-
Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England@virginmedia I reported a total loss of service on 31/8. It was finally fixed this morning. After no shows, lies and weeks between visits. They have not even offered to cover the cost of my last 3 dd’s which I wish I hadn’t paid as I had no service whatsoever
-
Ian Forrest (@IanForrest10) reported from Blackburn, England@virginmedia Plugged in new Wi-Fi hub all good. Paired new remote with box but upgrade to box failed error code M63. Bot is all over place customer service rep basically non-engineer saying turn it off on again!

ElJaffoGuzman (@ElJaffoGuzman) reportedBeen with @virginmedia for 7 years now. The best "deal" they can offer me is 500mbs down (boosted to 1gb because of my cell plan) for £51 a month. Or I can swap to youfiber, £30 a month for 2gb up/down 🥴 @virginmedia you aren't the best choice no more. customer retention sucks.
