    Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia I looked and that says it’s from the day I registered the total loss of service which was yesterday but really it should be from Friday afternoon when I did the online chat. If I DM you can you check?

  • andrewjmcgill
    Andy McGill (@andrewjmcgill) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia I have been without broadband all day, a day after you sent me a letter about price increases, an increase for what, even poorer service!!!!

  • DannyLannon
    dannyWAFClannon (@DannyLannon) reported from Wigan, England

    @Louisewafc @virginmedia Nice of Stoke fans turn up to support us

  • CryptoDan2k
    CryptoDan2k (@CryptoDan2k) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia Yes I did! Look at the last screen shot, that page was down as well with an error message. Useless copy and paste replys. Not helpful atall

  • supergran22
    Maureen StewartJones (@supergran22) reported from Eccleston, England

    @virginmedia I'm not sure this is the 3rd box. It's the one with the router in same room. Re advice remotely got message saying problem could not be solved.

  • GreenwasBlue
    GreenWasBlue (@GreenwasBlue) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia I've tried the online help to no avail.Just going round in circles. How do I get to book a visit by a human being?? 😡

  • alandean1878
    Alan Dean (@alandean1878) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia The nightmare continues!!! Buffering is now a way of life for us. As is watching any programme on a streaming service in short two minute bites!

  • GaryBan47314801
    Gary Banks (@GaryBan47314801) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia This is not the first time. The service the last 12 months has been shocking And now you're asking for the over the top increase in monthly payments 😡😡😡

  • AnianaAbrudan
    @AniAna98722504 (@AnianaAbrudan) reported from Urmston, England

    @Virgin media,every months problems with broadband,so hard to get in touch by phone and always they have work to do during day in the week time. So angry now 😤 😒

  • pstock62
    Paul Stockton (@pstock62) reported from Horwich, England

    @virginmedia Internet down in BL6 5RN, any idea's

  • tuite_liz
    Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia my internet has been down since Friday afternoon. I was told it would be fixed in 24 hours, the time has since changed and is currently at 8pm this evening. I work from home so need my internet back up and running before Monday morning. This is disgraceful

  • tuite_liz
    Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia See thread above, nothing changes except the time of the estimated fix. It must be very localised as not everyone in my area is affected. So if it is damaged cables, I haven’t seen anyone out repairing them over the weekend, it’s a joke

  • SmithysMaud
    Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia are an absolute joke. Was told to call back at half 6 and guess what? They’re shut! And again, no engineer visit. Getting cancelled 1st thing in the morning. Over a month of total loss of service, piss take. #avoid

  • supergran22
    Maureen StewartJones (@supergran22) reported from Eccleston, England

    @virginmedia Thanks. Very frustrating and time consuming. Spent whole afternoon trying to sort it. Twitter not really the best way to resolve issues especially with an 82 year old.

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

    @virginmedia @virginhelp I've never had this much issue as I have had today. I'm plugged in on ethernet, I've reset my hub, and checked my area and there is no issue at all. My WiFi is working from my hub but yet its booting me out of Destiny 2 and not just that but the chat parties on PS5 itself

  • colette2511
    Colette Ellison (@colette2511) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia No not going through it it’s too long and I don’t have time. Just wanted to everyone know that vm is a bad company and are robbing gets. Trading standards have been told and I’m 💯 % sure that there’s thousands of people doing the same

  • 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.

  • Its_Sal_Queen
    Sarah Hill (@Its_Sal_Queen) reported from Liverpool, England

    Would love to be able to start work @virginmedia, but the Internet is down.

  • J_w_D94
    LeChonk (@J_w_D94) reported from Horwich, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I'm tweeting from the device I'm having connectivity and signal issues with, I've looked on the website and it's not stating if you're having network issues or not.

  • CryptoDan2k
    CryptoDan2k (@CryptoDan2k) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia Yes, as discussed many a time. Without fail occasion I phone there is a fault in my area and you will not send out a technician. This circle can not seam to be broken. This is why you have failed to get an engineer out to me for months and months.

    @virginmedia it's been said that service should resume 16:00 tomorrow?

  • ShirleySarah70
    ShirleySarah🌹🎸🦊🦔🐦⚽ (@ShirleySarah70) reported

    @virginmedia @RumouredRebecca I want to end my tv services early. I did ask for help a few times but you haven't responded yet. Why is this? Im still leaving no matter how many times you ignore me, your service is abysmal. I'm still paying even though I use Freesat. HELP PLEASE 🥺

  • ProfChocCaXe
    ProfessorChocolateCaXe (@ProfChocCaXe) reported

    @PeteUK7 @olivetreedogs @virginmedia You believe in a fake "disease" with an almost 100% survival rate, the microscopic number of people who DID die had serious underlying health conditions anyway (notable example: George Floyd), that had "no symptoms" list as a symptom but you would still get anyway even if you were vaccinated from people who weren't vaccinated and was so "dangerous" that the entire economy had to shut down and everyone would be forced to stay at home unless they were out rioting for BLM.

  • Ana1Atkinson
    Ana Atkinson (@Ana1Atkinson) reported

    @virginmedia These problems have been on & off since Thursday. Will we get compensated & will Virgin issue a statement to their customers to let us know what is going on? It seems like you have serious problems & just keep saying it will be fixed in 24 hrs. I have no landline, tv or internet

  • JohnPriestley70
    John Priestley (@JohnPriestley70) reported

    @virginmedia I am trying to link. I can get as far as confirm transfer. After a few seconds I get an error message page saying something about expired, then it jumps to VM page with login. Could not get a screenshot of the error message, it disappeared that fast.

  • burgs2010
    Nick Burgin - Horror Writer (@burgs2010) reported

    With @virginmedia still being down for many people (2 weeks now), how many customers are they about to lose to @EE or @skytv ?

  • RobDew8
    Rob Dew (@RobDew8) reported

    @spirit_evolving @virginmedia They are a shambles. I have had no internet since Sunday. 2 engineer appointments have not turned up, waiting in again today for engineer but not confident. Worst thing I did was move to Virgin !

  • fffoceania
    haggard girl 🏳️‍⚧️ (@fffoceania) reported

    Virgin media is so bad it took me turning my phone wifi off and on again 3 times and resetting soundcloud twice just to put on a song

  • bengalisgirl
    Joy Harris (@bengalisgirl) reported

    @virginmedia My tv screen has message saying Network out of range days of no service for hour upon hour

    Lyndon (@lyndondp) reported

    @britfoodfinder @Benleo @virginmedia 29 days on and still account is locked. Had a reply to my oncoming complaint a week ago saying it would be unlocked in 3-5 working days from 18th May. Another 4 weeks and an official complaint to OFCOM will be going in if still unresolved
