  • formula1girl Sarah-Jane Finch (@formula1girl) reported from Eastleigh, England

    @virginmedia So I won’t have 4+ months of grief, demands for an account that is cancelled and debt collectors letters for that account then? That’s a relief as your behaviour with my account has worn me down whilst grieving for my Dad but it’s not stopped you….

  • sarah_mcginty Sarah McGinty (@sarah_mcginty) reported from Andover, England

    @virginmedia We've got Internet so not as bad as it could be as i do have a teenager in the house,however I would like the tv to be back up by 9pm pretty please so i can watch @imacelebrity @antanddec thanks!!

    Is anyone else in Andover having issues with their @virginmedia? Wi-Fi’s been cutting out repeatedly all day

  • JFeathjav James Featherstone (@JFeathjav) reported from Southampton, England

    @davenevin @virginmedia Luckily their customer service is excellent 🥴

  • sarah_mcginty Sarah McGinty (@sarah_mcginty) reported from Andover, England

    @virginmedia @virginmedia issues again with tv & Internet, seems to be a theme for this week as not first time .There is nothing on service status :-( any idea?!

  • southnorthener SM (@southnorthener) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia No service is SO17 postcode, either TV or internet. Is there an issue?

  • SimDendy Sim Dendy (@SimDendy) reported from Romsey, England

    Apologies if you can’t get hold of me - @virginmedia have ‘blacklisted’ my phone even though I am not a Virgin customer. After many hours/phone calls they are still unable to explain why & have said I need to write a letter (!) to escalate further 🤯 - any better ideas out there?

  • rahim94 Rahim™ 🇬🇧🇲🇦 (@rahim94) reported from Southampton, England

    @NewWorldLoading @ODEONCinemas I pulled off the ultimate scam by using the O2 priority app which I now have access to as a customer of @virginmedia following their recent merger 😈 Free ticket at odeon every Monday

  • crumblechris chris (@crumblechris) reported from Winchester, England

    @virginmedia Thanks - but that phone line isn’t recognising when I enter digits on the key pad - so is useless.your website still says ‘no issues’ after more than 4 hours of no internet connection.

  • sarah_mcginty Sarah McGinty (@sarah_mcginty) reported from Andover, England

    @virginmedia Bang! Gone again. Nothing on service status :-(

  • crumblechris chris (@crumblechris) reported from Winchester, England

    @virginmedia Can you update the website to stop giving out false information? If you know there are ‘some issues’ can you tell me what they are - that alone is a helpful update….

  • mickeyboy71 Michael bennett (@mickeyboy71) reported from Andover, England

    @virginmedia It is not working, on live chat you wanted to charge me £40 more a month to activate it , joke.

  • rahim94 Rahim™ 🇬🇧🇲🇦 (@rahim94) reported from Southampton, England

    At this rate, Virgin Media is gonna have to change their name because that's bound to offend some woke idiot somewhere 🙄 #BBCQT

  • reyewon Ryan Stanikk 📸 (@reyewon) reported from Southampton, England

    Was incredibly annoyed at service from @virginmedia today. After sending back the old equipment 6 weeks ago, we received an email saying we were going to be charged for not sending it back. I called up 10 days ago and was told the charge would be removed and not to worry...

  • crumblechris chris (@crumblechris) reported from Winchester, England

    @virginmedia Hi - so the fault that is still ongoing, 24 hours+ now, and the fault line said would fixed by 11pm last night. Now the fault line says it’s being worked on - and no update for residents….please advise what is going on and an ETA for the fix? Thanks

  • Macsaint99 Mark Cook (@Macsaint99) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia @TimTastic38 Ok, so if we paid part of the bill as we had a loss of service for part of the day that would be fine too?????

  • sarah_mcginty Sarah McGinty (@sarah_mcginty) reported from Andover, England

    @virginmedia issues again with tv & Internet, seems to be a theme for this week as not first time .There is nothing on service status :-( any idea?!

  • sarahmvaughan Cllr Sarah M Vaughan (@sarahmvaughan) reported from Southampton, England

    2/2 @virginmedia @VirginMediaCorp @VMSolutions_ We have waited patiently for 48 hours for Virgin to fix. If you do not resolve today, we will get an electrician to repair and send Virgin the invoice. There is no customer service or H&S for your customers.

  • formula1girl Sarah-Jane Finch (@formula1girl) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia I cancelled in July (which apparently you have no record of) so I contacted you in Sept when you threatened to cut my service off, that I wasn’t using anymore, and told you I’d cancelled. I’m not paying this!! Absolutely ridiculous!!

  • moja10s moja10s (@moja10s) reported from Andover, England

    @virginmedia Don’t know what to do now. Can’t just stay on hold indefinitely. Please help

  • TMcGRed TMcGRed (@TMcGRed) reported

    @virginmedia I've had this router like this since installation (over 2yrs) and have never had this issue before. Also I ran the diagnostic tool on the router. Telephone service & WiFi connections both had red exclamation marks next to them.

  • russelllehman2 russell lehman (@russelllehman2) reported

    @virginmedia my TV box has a hardware fault. I've only been a customer 2 weeks and been told there is no replace in the UK. I've tried to speak to a manager, told they were all in a meeting and couldn't be disturbed. Really poor service and wish i’d remained with @Sky @Ofcom

  • OfficialCurtiss Curtis_Tyler (@OfficialCurtiss) reported

    @virginmedia Yes been a couple of months now but every so often it just keeps on going slow and sluggish

  • Memphis444 ally james (@Memphis444) reported

    @JuliaHB1 @VodafoneUK Julia you think Vodafone are bad, they are not a patch on Virgin Media trust me.

  • sps81 Stephen Smith (@sps81) reported

  • cowle1 chutch1945 (@cowle1) reported

    @virginmedia A reliable Virgin broadband service..

  • inspectortooth kenneth combes (@inspectortooth) reported

    @virginmedia No sound. Have rebooted the box approximately 8 times on the last 3 days. Has fixed the issue until today when 3 reboots have done nothing. I need a new box. Very simple fix. Indian call centre have put me on hold to speak to a senior team but no response after nearly 40 minutes.

  • SandyHoskins Sandy Hoskins (@SandyHoskins) reported

    Complaints virgin media @virginmedia how shocking is your service? Moved into our new home on 18th November and looking forward to our promised “lightening fast broadband” well... a month later and we still have NO service at all and continue to be billed!! Get your act together!
