    @virginmedia No estimated fix time. Just tells me there is a problem in my area which is affecting my service. I already know that.

  • hassahmed95 hassan (@hassahmed95) reported

    @virginmedia What’s the point it always getting extending 2 hours later, sort your mess out and fix up.

  • jess_ennever Jess (@jess_ennever) reported

    @virginmedia still says no service

  • jasonpeacock8 Jason Peacock (@jasonpeacock8) reported

    @virginmedia I can’t get on the service status page. It seems to be faulty. My Virgin Media Mobile 4G connection is appalling too. I rang and the automated answer said it’s going to be off till near 9pm. Been off most of the afternoon I’m told.

  • DING_DONG_D DEON™DingerZ-Dj (@DING_DONG_D) reported

    @virginmedia why is it when your on the phone trying to sort broadband out and some dip-sh%t put the phone down on you and then YOU ring them back and your on F×%King hold for hours

  • Sm0ggs LIÂM 🇳🇱 (@Sm0ggs) reported

    Legit internet in the house and my mobile phone network playing up.. sort it out @virginmedia @EE

  • SGR_KSR K’sar (@SGR_KSR) reported

    @virginmedia After my complaint was closed down with a false resolution I have been trying to get a manager to look into it. When you call they hang up, now I’m trying your WhatsApp chat and have been passed around from Toni, Vicky, Pavan and now LILLI! Why is it so difficult???

  • RachPeart Rachel Peart (@RachPeart) reported

    Losing my father was hard enough but for me to inform @virginmedia of his death twice then receive a bill where they have changed the account name to mine with my fathers old address! I have never lived there or never been a @virginmedia customer! How disrespectful!

  • Daboo11330046 Booie (@Daboo11330046) reported

    @virginmedia Still not fixed now nearly 3 days without broadband and tv. Absolutely outrageously poor service and still no confirmation of when will be fixed

  • noayatobefound Mother Aya (@noayatobefound) reported

    @virginmedia I KNOW YOUR RUINING MY INTERNET CONNECTION BC I REFUSE TO UPGRADE MY PHONE TO THE STUPID IPHONE 14. KNOCK IT OFF.

  • KaashLatif KaashLatif (@KaashLatif) reported

    @virginmedia please fix the problem !! I dont pay for not having no services

  • MrHoobs Darren Hubbard (@MrHoobs) reported

    @virginmedia Hi. Are there any issues with NTL/ virgin emails as my mother in law can’t get into her account but it was OK yesterday?

  • citamo Chris #FB #ProEU#Rejoin#BLM#GTTO,NHS 💙 (@citamo) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia Ok. I clicked on a link which advises that the problem will hopefully by fixed by 8.40 tonight. Hardly satisfactory but at least it’s better than knowing nothing. Thanks for your help.

  • SarahMcMast3r Sarah (@SarahMcMast3r) reported

    @virginmedia It says there may be an issue with service in the area

  • CharIottel Charlotte (@CharIottel) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, please can you say what the issue is? There’s been nothing here all afternoon but no one out to the box either. (Teesside)

  • sharon_mulcahy sharon mulcahy (@sharon_mulcahy) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia what the hell is going on with the broadband today this is ridiculous no service all day!

  • RobBooth96 Rob Booth (@RobBooth96) reported

    @virginmedia @KarenBlaser What I don't understand is the status check says the issue is with tv apps but its the actual live TV signal that is at fault. How big an area of the country is this actually impacting

  • Lencal03 Lencal (@Lencal03) reported from Nottinghamshire, England

    @virginmedia Says no issues

  • CHAUFFEURSU STANSTED EXPRESS CARS LTD (@CHAUFFEURSU) reported

    @virginmedia TS5 broadband is down

  • mattddonovan Matt Donovan (@mattddonovan) reported

    @virginmedia internet has been down all afternoon in TS postcodes. Any sign of it coming back?

  • kerrylynn21 Kerry Lenihan (@kerrylynn21) reported

    @baggiegirl1970 @virginmedia No surprise surprise they didn't get in touch. They also responded to my complaint saying issue was solved remotely. Which is another lie. As it is still not working, nor has anyone been in touch. Liars @virginmedia

  • CammJennifer Jennifer Camm (@CammJennifer) reported

    @virginmedia Unfortunately it’s back to an area problem. There seems to be no resolution in the near future, it’s really terrible

  • misskatiered19 Katie (@misskatiered19) reported

    From @virginmedia’s perspective, keeping the chat bot active and continuously logging previous chats is a bad move because within the space of 2 weeks you’re given completely different information, but I have the proof of what I was told…

  • Lauren110394 Lauren Harding (@Lauren110394) reported

    @virginmedia Yes no problem

  • MattW182 Matthew Wilson (@MattW182) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, please can you confirm what the fault is? And when you aim to have the service back online? Please don't direct to the website - I would appreciate an answer

  • Vickygopal Vicky (@Vickygopal) reported

    @virginmedia I figured it out. It allows registration when you try with a different email id rather the one used to buy the services. That’s a crappy bug and your IT team has to fix it.

  • misskatiered19 Katie (@misskatiered19) reported

    A few years ago @virginmedia’s customer service was great, what on earth happened to mess it up so much???

  • ElaineJackson12 Author, genealogy addict, love sci-fi (@ElaineJackson12) reported

    ... inkjet refuses to 'see' our Virgin Media network even though we followed all the recommended steps (turning mobile right off, turning mobile's hotspot off, rebooting router, etc etc). But I can live with having to print from my phone - even if it means emailing stuff to..

  • LearnAdventuron Adventuron - HTML5 Text Adventures (@LearnAdventuron) reported

    @mixindave @virginmedia @marktrainer77 8 pounds per day compensation from the 3rd day of outage. That'll cover lost salary nicely.

  • MidsummerFire Apricot (@MidsummerFire) reported

    @rossaverde @virginmedia Thanks. They're shocking- it's affecting businesses now. My home wifi is useless even when its not down- the download speed it shockingly low for what we pay for. I wouldn’t care their customer service is useless too, they never help. Can't wait to be out of contract with them!
