    @virginmedia trying to work from home and it goes off, check online & network maintenance. Why cant you notify us to let us know doing maintenance. Communication company but cant tell customers what's going on 😡😡

  • josie_allan Jo Mclaughlin (@josie_allan) reported from Horwich, England

    I’m not sure how we could overcome WIFI access but surely there is a way that friendly bods @SkyUK @virginmedia could support to stop children missing out on remote teaching - digital poverty sucks

  • emmawinstanley1 emma2511 (@emmawinstanley1) reported from Aspull, England

    @virginmedia finding it very difficult to get through to someone to discuss technical support please help

  • Bolt100Wands boltonbwfc (@Bolt100Wands) reported from Bolton, England

    Once again @virginmedia tried to ring you but your customer care is shocking. I know of over 100 people plus in the Bolton area with continuing pixelating on ur TV Service which means you cannot watch TV! This needs sorting ASAP! Shocking service and unacceptable with what I pay!

  • PammyVegas21 Pamela Lavell (@PammyVegas21) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia I was going to go to a better provider but was assured that the price was guaranteed until May 2021. You have broken the terms of the contract AGAIN. How many mature citizens who aren’t as computer savvy get ripped off by you? How is this being allowed to happen? Shame on you

  • mallen_87 Matt Allen 🔶 (@mallen_87) reported from Horwich, England

    @virginmedia I would like to cancel my services with you. When I go online to do this I’m directed to call in. When I call in the IVR directs me online. Can you help?

  • AngWaterhouse Angela Waterhouse (@AngWaterhouse) reported from Euxton, England

    @virginmedia I can’t get through by phone-landline or mobile. Are all your phone lines down? #virginmediadown

  • LiamRLaverick Liam Laverick (@LiamRLaverick) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia No you’re alright,, literally the worst internet provider I’ve ever come across, will be leaving and moving to Sky tomorrow

  • mcknut John McKerrell (@mcknut) reported from Liverpool, England

    @SayBeano @virginmedia Just cancel and switch. Been very happy with @VodafoneUK gigafast for a few months

  • NealJFletcher Neal Fletcher (@NealJFletcher) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia No, the picture still looks like I’m watching TV on a cheese grater. Looking at a few threads on your forum this isn’t a new issue either, customers have been experiencing this for well over a year. How’s about I stop paying for the TV part of the package until it’s sorted??

  • GeoffJonners Geoff Johnson (@GeoffJonners) reported from Bolton, England

    Any chance you can sort this picture issue out @virginmedia

  • Bolt100Wands boltonbwfc (@Bolt100Wands) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia an absolute disgrace all night the pixelating of every channel on our boxes plus all Bolton the same! Service Status saying nothing wrong! Sort it Virgin! We pay for a service!

  • GaryLiverpool Gary (@GaryLiverpool) reported from Liverpool, England

    Do you have an issue in the Liverpool area. Service status saying no issues. But no internet@rebooted hub 3 times still no joy. Tried calling 151 and 150 and get an engaged tone @virginmedia

  • GeorgiaOHarax Georgia O'Hara (@GeorgiaOHarax) reported from Wigan, England

    NEVER NEVER NEVER JOIN @virginmedia

  • JoeHolmes1994 Joe (@JoeHolmes1994) reported from Leigh, England

    @virginmedia I need to cancel a engineer appointment for Wednesday. I’ve already been on the phone 40 minutes and I’m not waiting any longer especially after being told ‘we’ll prioritise you’. Please cancel it otherwise it’s a pointless trip for your engineer

  • NealJFletcher Neal Fletcher (@NealJFletcher) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Nope, no outages. It’s been the same for days now. As I say, it seems a common issue with your customers and has been for well over a year

  • DelHillan Del Hillan (@DelHillan) reported

    @virginmedia Ok so why won't you fix it then? Why is it taking 2 weeks to send someone out?

  • JackAllard3 Jack Allard (@JackAllard3) reported

    @virginmedia Yep we did try that. It’s very strange without doing anything one day it’s fine and the other it’s bad. This is with the same parameters.. I.e the same device, time of day (though not sure that matters), and wired. Even today I don’t know what the issue was.

  • Just_1ntime Colin F (@Just_1ntime) reported

    @virginmedia Yes I have escalated but you still don’t act. I find it incredible that a communications company is bereft of the ability to actually talk to a customer.

  • TOMSHARMANWEB Tom Sharman (@TOMSHARMANWEB) reported

    @virginmedia please fix my broadband !!

  • easyjengy Jengus Khan (@easyjengy) reported

    @ChrisAley1 @arslxnmc @virginmedia It's because the service is down in my area far too much, the customer service is ****, you'll be transferred to 4 different people who can't help you and they cancel engineer appointments without telling you, leaving you waiting up from 7am-12pm on a Sunday

  • symboox ur gf’s main ***** (@symboox) reported

    @virginmedia wifi is still down

  • Tigergilly Gillian Aldred (@Tigergilly) reported

    @DavoodGhadami @virginmedia VM are awful. I have rung them 4 times with an issue. Turn TV on and it takes about 5 mins or longer for picture to stay on, when changing channel I get no sound. Last call to VM I was told again its a known fault so limited service till fixed. Going on for months now! 😡

  • DelHillan Del Hillan (@DelHillan) reported

    @virginmedia Can't believe you guys have left a Pensioner without a phone or any service for over a week. Absolutely disgusting. But yet again we shouldn't accept anything less from this company. Customer service is appalling.

  • traceymcarroll Tracey Carroll (@traceymcarroll) reported

    @virginmedia Unless someone comes today to fix it i'm cancelling everything. Quicker to get it all from a new provider than it is to wait for you lot. #brokenprmises #avoidvirginmedia

  • DelHillan Del Hillan (@DelHillan) reported

    @virginmedia The outage is the wires, you refuse to acknowledge this, the wires are from the virgin box outside his property, they told him the 15th then said 18th now saying 24th, how can you work like this? He is a pensioner on his own with no phone or TV, absolutely disgraceful.
