    Carol Rowles (@CallyRaven) reported from Westhoughton, England

    @virginmedia 3 times in 3 weeks we are without internet! We are paying for a service we are not able to use! Are we going to be compensated for this?

    @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

  • 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 👍

  • 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+

  • LindzDDub
    Lindz Devine (@LindzDDub) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia I have to say your Internet connection is ridiculous... for months on end, it's been shocking. I'm sick and tired of resetting my hub, I shouldn't be having this issue. Never had so much issue for the years I've had you and now, the past 6 months, I'm paying monies…

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

    @virginmedia 3 x engineer visits, each time telling me there’s a blockage. Why does nobody fix it? I can’t even get through to cancel my services and get a refund for the direct debits I’ve paid when I’ve had zero service.

  • 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?

  • 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!

  • LindzDDub
    Lindz Devine (@LindzDDub) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia I never have any issues when it comes to my laptop, though. Just my PS5

  • BooCavapoo
    BooCavapoo 🐶 (@BooCavapoo) reported from Penwortham, England

    @virginmedia please sort out the issues with the WiFi, Internet, broadband or whatever the term us these days. It is constantly slow or not working. Having to use mobile data is not an effective substitute for the service I am paying for.

  • ChrisFoxRacing
    Christopher Fox (@ChrisFoxRacing) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Already reported the broadband issues, and it's an issue where estimated fix times keep getting pushed back. With regards to mobile issues, this has been around the same length of time. The only way I've been able to get any connection at all is by switching to 3G

  • FloButcher84
    strange little Flo (@FloButcher84) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia Yeah I've seen that already thanks, but it's not going to help the kids with accessing homework online. no I am not on a B account as of yet as I have only just started out in the last week 😑 but even if I was on a B account it would still be off so doesn't make any difference

    @DoctorLemma Well done . Always had great service from @virginmedia just cant afford them anymore.

  • BertNashCha
    Bert Nash (@BertNashCha) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Tried that many times. Not working within 3 days. Can you call ME instead to arrange? If not, cancelling service.

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

    @VirginMedia Received message. Now not accepting my email address. I have one only. My problem is with the remote control which is activated by pressing 2 buttons when they light up. Have had nothing but trouble with one remote for one TV. Your communication us not helpful.

  • BertNashCha
    Bert Nash (@BertNashCha) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Poor. Very poor. 3 days trying, being on hold, being assured return calls, moving home team have to speak to Netflix team (don't even have it), then being told it's cancelled and being give packaging instructions. Ridiculous, wanted to stay with you.

    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?

    Fam I was moved to in a&e and by the guy that came to fix my wifi by virgin media they should be more afraid

  • ElJaffoGuzman
    ElJaffoGuzman (@ElJaffoGuzman) reported

    Been 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.

  • worleyyy
    Dan Worley (@worleyyy) reported

    @virginmedia You clearly don't take it seriously enough. I've complained multiple times over the last year and because I haven't made a complaint twice in one month you won't do anything and force me to pay a £400 fee to exit my contract. Utter horrendous service!! Worst internet company ever

  • adam_luxon
    Adam Luxon (@adam_luxon) reported

    @theashrb It isn’t at all and they’ll still think they can get away with it. The government should intervene in this matter to ensure that all public goods cannot outsource their customer service. A few months ago, I had a horrible call with virgin media after my contract finished

  • kerbear_t
    Kerrin McIntosh 💙 (@kerbear_t) reported

    @status_is_down And how can they say it’ll take a week to fix!!! Trying to run my business and I can’t access anything. I can’t use data from my phone as it costs so much. Horrendous @virginmedia. They just don’t care

  • VirginMediaNews
    Virgin Media News (@VirginMediaNews) reported

    At least 11 people are dead and 19 remain missing after Spain’s worst wildfire in more than two decades. Tourists, some from the UK, are feared to be among those who have died. Around 150 firefighters are battling the blaze, with at least 1,000 residents evacuated. Several victims were reportedly found inside burnt-out vehicles. More on Virgin Media PLAY. #VMNews

    @virginmedia @DisneyPlusUK Virgin Media fined £28m over 'deliberately dropping calls' and putting people on hold 'for no reason' Customers trying to cancel or switch were routinely put through the wringer by Virgin's customer service agents, an investigation by the regulator has found.

  • ExCathedra44
    JS. (@ExCathedra44) reported

    @virginmedia I have just installed your 360 platform. Got it working but starting this AM the set top boxes ( I have 2)do not switch on automatically and show a No signal sign.Been on to your help line for hours as thought it might be software upgrade. Manual no use.

  • ape_steinUK
    Jackson Lamb’s Coat (@ape_steinUK) reported

    @Stsantek @virginmedia Virgin are poisonous. We have 1 GB, we’re lucky if we get half that, hard wired. The patronising pleb on the phone said “you must be too far away from the router” I’ve just had a renewal quote for 48.99 a month but a new customer can get it 29.99 (on the website as we speak) Scum
