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

    @virginmedia This takes me through to a help and support page - what do I do next?

  • LeylandDavid David Gardner (@LeylandDavid) reported from Leyland, England

    @virginmedia My landline phone has been down all afternoon in PR25 1UJ. Have any others complained about this issue, and if you're aware of the issue, do you have an estimated time for repair. Thanks in advance.

  • Miss_Defying Rebecca Harrisson (@Miss_Defying) reported from Ormskirk, England

    @virginmedia hi!! We're having issues calling our landline from Vodafone mobiles. Have googled and it looks like it's a porting issue. But one of your technicians has just called and talked to me like I'm stupid and told me it's not. Can you help???

  • LeylandDavid David Gardner (@LeylandDavid) reported from Leyland, England

    @virginmedia No updated fix time, as it shows all services as green, and can't detect a problem. It asks us to phone you on 151 to do a little more "digging", but the phone line is DOWN. Oh, and the chatbot doesn't deal with landline issues apparently. Now what???

  • Miss_Defying Rebecca Harrisson (@Miss_Defying) reported from Ormskirk, England

    @virginmedia But on the online forum it says others have had the same problem and your technical department need to contact Sky and the line needs to be routed to you again as it's a porting issue. I can't see any other examination although I appreciate I'm not a technician.

  • Miss_Defying Rebecca Harrisson (@Miss_Defying) reported from Ormskirk, England

    @virginmedia Someone else has called me since and had said she's going to call me back and look into it. But I was just so frustrated with the way he spoke to me. I'm not one for just googling random sites but this was on one of your forums and it's the exact same issue!

  • mrphilliptipton Phillip Tipton (@mrphilliptipton) reported from Haydock, England

    The interminable menus on the Virgin Media customer line lasted 3 minutes and 20 seconds just now, most of it being lectured on how efficient this would make my as yet unanswered call.

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

    @virginmedia Also I’ve just tried and it won’t accept the answers to the security questions - which are both ok. Can someone contact me to help me out please?

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

    @virginmedia It’s ok I’ve managed to get around my dad’s security question - it was an issue with the lower / upper case. I’ve updated his password and his email is now receiving emails on his phone and iPad - I think we’re ok. Frustrating that the live chat sent him around in circles

  • Andy_Dunbar Andy Dunbar (@Andy_Dunbar) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Is that minimum 12 months subscription or can I cancel at anytime?

  • Miss_Defying Rebecca Harrisson (@Miss_Defying) reported from Ormskirk, England

    @virginmedia He said it '100% wasn't a porting issue' and that he would look into it but that wouldn't be the answer. Another lady called me later on a few times and asked me to call our land line on three separate occasions and she could call back to get the times. But haven't had a call yet

  • Miss_Defying Rebecca Harrisson (@Miss_Defying) reported from Ormskirk, England

    @virginmedia Hi!! Just letting you know my land line issue still isn't fixed. Someone is supposed to be calling me back today. I'm really hoping they do. Just wanted to say thanks to Robert too for being so helpful. Despite this still driving me mad.

  • LeylandDavid David Gardner (@LeylandDavid) reported from Leyland, England

    @virginmedia Reported the problem yesterday after your response. Should have been fixed by 10am today apparently, but still nothing.

  • shellc11 michelle cunningham (@shellc11) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia can you please confirm how long my tv will be down WA9 area, its been off for over 36 hours 😳

  • Miss_Defying Rebecca Harrisson (@Miss_Defying) reported from Ormskirk, England

    @VodafoneUK I'm not sure... as far as I can tell it's a @virginmedia issue. But you may be able to help. No one on Vodafone can call our virgin landline. It just beeps or says the number and code combination isn't recognised.

  • Michael85600050 Michael (@Michael85600050) reported from Rainhill, England

    @virginmedia how can you say you're reliable when we haven't had broadband for 14 hours with no explanation and ever increasing promises as to when resolved? Virgin Media has failed me and others in the Rainhill area. As we say in the North- shite service

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

    @virginmedia my dad’s email address has been hacked. VM says he has to re register his email address. He’s spent nearly 3hrs on live chat today trying to fix it. He’s 86 and relies upon his email to order from home. Can you please explain to me the process to correct this issue?

  • gbam86 Graeme Bamber (@gbam86) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia @gbam96 Yes it has been cancelled now, it was the manner it took to get there! Nearly 20 mins of asking to cancel! he had a bad attitude. Very disappointed with the customer service

  • Michael85600050 Michael (@Michael85600050) reported from Rainhill, England

    @virginmedia gross incompetence shown in L35 area today. Basically no broadband for 14 hours. No indication as to why and each hour the time of resolution extended. Not a good advert for the service. Go with Sky is my suggestion

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

    @virginmedia No nothing - no reference number. The inconsistency of service between live chat, phone and Twitter is mad. It doesn’t feel like you’re speaking to the same company

  • rab7319 Rob (@rab7319) reported

    @virginmedia **** up from the start lots of greedy ******* now scamming people with inflated prices I'll just wait till its on a streaming platform 🤔 only priority was touts

  • Hobbit_Girl Michelle D (@Hobbit_Girl) reported

    @virginmedia WHAT THE ACTUAL **** How have you sold out @virginmedia @O2 when your app has been down all day? You have prioritised the touts and bots - not your customers

  • RickFulton1 Rick Fulton (@RickFulton1) reported

    Four hours the wi-fi has been down now @premierinn Checked @virginmedia and they have no outages so what’s going on?

  • ImTristanG 🟣 Tristan Griffiths #ImTristanG (@ImTristanG) reported

    So looks like for some reason there was issues with our @virginmedia DIRECT DEBIT, meaning the service was suspended, So paid by card & told connected in 10mins - 3 hours, but then got emailing chasing payment (AFTER PAYING) and no resumed services! #BadCustomerService #FAIL

  • annmarienoble23 Annmarie Noble (@annmarienoble23) reported

    @virginmedia The repair was carried out this morning, it was a faulty connection outside. All working again now although the WiFi seems patchy having cut out twice in a short time. I'm wondering if I'm entitled to compensation as been without services for more than 48hrs?

  • amazedarkwolf Luke Symonds (@amazedarkwolf) reported

    So now because of virgin media big mistake a worker has checked the damage and has said it will take up 2 a week to be fixed so my streaming schedule has been ruined for a week so see you guys in a week time #furious #annoyed

  • craig_cw73 only a number (@craig_cw73) reported

    @virginmedia Im guessing NONE of your customers (virgin) got tickets through the App as it was down before the sale even started!

  • jezrab Jeremy Rabinovitch (@jezrab) reported

    @virginmedia How have you sold out when everyone seems to have been frozen out all day. I will be making a complaint to @Ofcom about this.

  • smithydude70 Simon Smith (@smithydude70) reported

    @virginmedia Utter bullshit. The damn site has been unattainable all day! Sold out my arse!

  • VFarrell30 Victoria Hart (@VFarrell30) reported

    @O2 All day been trying via Virgin Media and had Bad Gateway error message 🙄
