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

    @virginmedia I also play Destiny 2. I thought it may have been their servers but my boyfriend doesn't have the issue.

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

    Who in their right mind schedules planned maintenance for a Monday morning and says it could go on until three pm? Oh yeah, @virginmedia - cracking service as always #workfromhome #muppets

  • obpls1995 owen southworth (@obpls1995) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia can you explain why the moment I told your staff over the phone that I was disabled they decided to speak to me as if I was an idiot and then tell me they can't help me because I can't spell out my password despite telling them 5 times what the password was.

  • AckerHeron Tony (@AckerHeron) reported from Liverpool, England

    Hi @virginmedia, my dear old mum has been on the phone for 20 minutes because her broadband has gone down. Your advisors keep saying to reset the hub and disconnecting before it's sorted. Any ideas? Still using the crap one you sent years ago despite her recontracting

  • 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.

  • RayWaring Ray Waring (@RayWaring) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Please contact me via this route - will be the quickest way to respond and resolve the issue

  • Robertlfc_ Rob (@Robertlfc_) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia thanks for the awful internet service, f*cking useless you are

  • ZachcloseYT zach close YT 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 (@ZachcloseYT) reported from St Helens, England

    You say you care about your customers and if you did you would fix your ******* **** Internet problems that everyone is having and don't even bother replying @virginmedia

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

    Hi @virginmedia, I’m trying to order some pods to sort out my truly shocking Wi-Fi, but can’t work out how to do so. Please could you help me?

  • ZachcloseYT zach close YT 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 (@ZachcloseYT) reported from St Helens, England

    Before covid came you was brilliant @virginmedia but ever since then you have been really **** and if it not sorted by next Sunday we are leaving you it literally 2023 and you still got **** service

  • NdawanaY Ndawana Youngson (@NdawanaY) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia They worked on it, or so I thought. I was told they fixed some external connections issue (outside the house)

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

    Since 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/?

  • CllrMichaelHaw Councillor Michael Haw *🇺🇦 (@CllrMichaelHaw) reported from Eccleston, England

    Virgin media customer service 🥴😭🤯

  • NdawanaY Ndawana Youngson (@NdawanaY) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Too many service drops. Engineer has been to properly to fix but this persists.

  • RayWaring Ray Waring (@RayWaring) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Sorry I really don’t get it. A few hours ago I was told that your team would investigate etc. Now you’re telling you don’t have any access so I’m left to hang on with no one from VM being able to update me. Is that it?

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • Parleyyyyyy Josh (@Parleyyyyyy) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I’ve just done that. If you watch the video though you’ll see it doesn’t even let me get to the login page. As soon as I click on virgin media customer it tries to take me to a website & then closes down

  • IanRobEfc1878 IanRob79💙 (@IanRobEfc1878) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia your red button service is absolute dogshit you either get the wrong commentary or it doesn’t even come on! 🤯🤬

  • ameliaa_hall Amelia Louise (@ameliaa_hall) reported

    @virginmedia A very long time ago! Several complaints! As I said previously this has been on going for months and I just keep getting passed from person to person! All depends on who you talk to that day as to what you get told, nothing is consistent apart from the bad customer service

  • ameliaa_hall Amelia Louise (@ameliaa_hall) reported

    @Harryafc @virginmedia Honestly they are awful! Excuse after excuse! How that company is still running I do not know!… oh yeah that’s right, they keep taking money off people and charging for a service that doesn’t work 🙈

  • Danny_b75 Dannyb (@Danny_b75) reported

    Not having the best day now having to stream tv from my phone as my pricey @virginmedia internet is down again. I mean it goes down every day but not usually for this long

  • Ifran33666617 Ifran (@Ifran33666617) reported

    @virginmedia There's an outage in the area that could take up to 18th May. I work from home, I can't work from home without an internet connection. I have used all my mobile data for the hot spot. I could lose my job. What would you do in my shoes?

  • aptyson1960 Alan Tyson (@aptyson1960) reported from South Shore, England

    @virginmedia very disappointed that being a customer for nearly 25 years doesn’t warrant any discount but being a new one did. Bye bye I’m off to @bt_uk

  • Julianhomeboy Julian (@Julianhomeboy) reported

    @virginmedia Unless my phone broke the excat same day my wife's did and unless my new sim that virgin said would fix it is also broken then I suggest the transmitter is not sending out dual bands in order for me to get 4g+ that I've clearly been getting for many many years

  • LydSmiz Lydia Smith (@LydSmiz) reported

    I’m definitely into double figures of calls I’ve had to make to Virgin Media customer service now. I just wanted to change the address on my contract and an extra £80 charge, week without internet, engineer visit and new-contract-I-didn’t-ask-for later… it’s still unresolved. 🫠

  • Julianhomeboy Julian (@Julianhomeboy) reported

  • fazzeem Faheem Atcha (@fazzeem) reported

    @virginmedia -Mis-sold package -Exaggerated internet speeds -Being given false information by agents - Wait times - Refusing to open a complaint - Having the phone put down on me numerous times having waited for so long on hold - WiFi blackspots/issues - Refusing to offer a deadlock letter

  • adamtsmith11 Adam Smith (@adamtsmith11) reported

    @virginmedia He was speaking to technical support, as my broadband still doesn’t work. Can you get them to call me back?
