    @virginmedia 38 days after the repull should’ve been done? You think that’s good customer service?

  • supergran22
    Maureen StewartJones (@supergran22) reported from Eccleston, England

    @virginmedia In this room have always had problems but just not like today. The router is just over 2 metres from box.

  • timmycooke
    Tim Cooke 🇺🇦 (@timmycooke) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia Both wired and wireless. We've had 8 engineers out, a rewire, new hub and still endless drop outs. Was told finally it was an upload issue from the amp that supplied the box on the street. But still we're having issues. The 150 number is joke, make it simple!!!

  • KeithJBolton
    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 (@BeanBolt) reported from Southport, England

    Tenth 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?

  • SmithysMaud
    Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia Telling me an engineer will come next week now, not good enough. Waited in all morning for one that never came and still no service.

  • BeanBolt
    BeanBolt (@BeanBolt) reported from Southport, England

    @virginmedia It says no issue in the area, then when I click "still having issues" the local scan shows intermittent outages in the area, been like this for 24hrs+

    @virginmedia your Internet sucks

  • SmithysMaud
    Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia are an absolute joke. Was told to call back at half 6 and guess what? They’re shut! And again, no engineer visit. Getting cancelled 1st thing in the morning. Over a month of total loss of service, piss take. #avoid

  • SmithysMaud
    Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @jenwahkiddles @virginmedia Pity they didn’t do it for us, had no tv or broadband for over 3 months and can’t even get the compensation they owe us, plus the direct debits they took knowing we had total loss of service. Shambolic company.

  • houghtonc79
    Chris (@houghtonc79) reported from Preston, England

    @virginmedia So after having pissed around since mid December refusing to send me a new router due to intermittent WiFi issues with some devices losing connection. Today it has been on and off over a dozen times. Now no connection at all, no Internet and no phone service 😡

  • DaveMbootlebuck
    DM 🦌 (@DaveMbootlebuck) reported from Litherland, England

    @virginmedia Mine has just gone down now. I can’t ring via the virgin phone because the phone is connected to the hub.

  • fos100
    Richard Foster (@fos100) reported from New Longton, England

    @virginmedia That just wants me to upgrade my package; I just want to order the pods. Why is the website so poor?

  • Joe95976011
    Joe (@Joe95976011) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia worst customer service ever

  • CallyRaven
    Carol Rowles (@CallyRaven) reported from Westhoughton, England

    @virginmedia I seem to be the first one to report them, still saying intermittent problems in my area. Can't get to speak to anyone on phone, I rely on the Internet.

  • SmithysMaud
    Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia Nobody can help me, they just keep asking for patience. They’ve had since august to fix it. It’s unacceptable.

  • tomrushton88
    Tom Rushton (@tomrushton88) reported from Haydock, England

    @virginmedia And the last complaint I raised over this got cancelled because it didn't have any details to the complaint even though all the messages are there to see through your WhatsApp service but the retentions team can't see that or deal with the complaint or help in anyway way

  • davidbirkdale
    David Jones (@davidbirkdale) reported from Southport, England

    Very 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!

    @virginmedia my interest been down for a whole week. Call centre staff don't know what to say. An engineer has been on site every single day apparently. Can someone fix my internet. I pay £52 a month this is beyond a joke. I've used all my 4g& bought a ****** dongle just to WFH

  • tuite_liz
    Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia 2/2 who can I speak to as it was working fine on Friday until the issues that were nothing to do with me happened, so don’t see why I should now pay for a technician

  • CP1861
    MJC (@CP1861) reported

    @virginmedia my account has now been locked for 3 months and therefore I’m unable to watch virgin tv go, one of the main reasons I’m your customer. I’ve phoned your customer services 7 times now and spent numerous hours on the phone speaking to your staff and on hold.

  • ruthmpayne
    Ruth Payne (@ruthmpayne) reported

    @TelfordMemories @virginmedia We’ve had no WiFi whatsoever for the past 48 hours now in Birmingham B16, awful customer service from the call centre too!

    @yoffey @virginmedia Call cut out. Got through later without an hour long wait. Issue identified but also that our TV box was old and needed updating. New box due tomorrow, TV issue did resolve itself over night.

    @virginmedia @mobily_uk Can you drop the smiling emoji Virgin. It really is absurdly patronising and shows that you're just laughing at us rather than genuinely trying to help

  • donna2904
    Donna Tudor (@donna2904) reported

    @virginmedia can you help please. I have no landline dial tone.

  • ruthmpayne
    Ruth Payne (@ruthmpayne) reported

    @virginmedia the WiFi in Edgbaston / B16 has been down for 48 hours now. Tried finding out what’s happening but call centre was useless. When will this be sorted??? 48 hours is ridiculous

  • RichTigheBrady
    Rich Brady (@RichTigheBrady) reported

    It’s been 6 weeks since our internet @virginmedia has stopped working so it’s time to spend several days getting through to explain it doesn’t work, then hearing no one can come round for several days to fix it! Total shambles, 7 outages and 6 visits in 8 months. Always breaks!
