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

    Day 42 of no service from @virginmedia. Engineer meant to be coming again today, think I’ve more chance of a unicorn showing up to be fair. 🦄

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

    @virginmedia Yes, this has been going on now for months. Was just on to your team to cancel, they hung up on me. I’ve never known a more woeful service. They are quick enough to take payment every month for a service I’m not getting.

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

    @virginmedia Can you check that I will be receiving a credit on my next bill as it has been down since Friday afternoon and I don’t think it will be fixed by 12pm today, I think that time will get changed again.

  • agarnett Adam (@agarnett) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia Is there any way to tell if there are signal issues in your area? This says i should get 4g indoors and outdoors, i dont though i can barely access mobile internet from my house. Last 3 months have been awful

  • duckyblog Ducky 🇺🇦 🎃 👻 (@duckyblog) reported from Tyldesley, England

    @virginmedia Issues with all VM services in my area says expected fix by 4:40pm today.

  • Radebreast Graeme Radebe (@Radebreast) reported from Ormskirk, England

    @virginmedia Hi - Ive noticed alot of people are having the same issues. Its the Sky TV Go app on Playstation 4. Ive checked it on another internet and it works fine so it is definitely an error on your side. You need to sort the internet settings. It struggles to load “on Now” on the app.

  • Radebreast Graeme Radebe (@Radebreast) reported from Ormskirk, England

    @virginmedia what have you done to the Sky TV app - its constantly buffering and showing error messages. Just awful service. Please can you get this sorted ASAP please.

  • 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 I first informed Virgin Media that my internet was down via online chat on Friday afternoon. Will this have automatically been the time when my loss of service was registered as at the time the advisor said it would be fixed in 24 hours?

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

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

  • pillbo01 kevin.james (@pillbo01) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia That number is a automated response not a customer service agent and an utter waste of time

  • BootleFCBucks Bootle Bucks (@BootleFCBucks) reported from Liverpool, England

    @JamesSymes8 Virgin Media. It keeps going really bad.

  • 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

  • MirLADas phil61efc (@MirLADas) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia what’s going on virgin no tv since Friday morning told 5th now 6th no messages nothing paying for nothing compensation rates garbage nothing should take this long with a company like virgin L4 area

  • Robertlfc_ Rob (@Robertlfc_) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia just been took out of a game of fifa, that I was winning! Because of your awful internet. Get it fixed!!

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

    @virginmedia 2/2 who can I speak to as it was working fine on Friday until the issues that were nothing to do with me happened, so don’t see why I should now pay for a technician

  • tuite_liz 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?

  • NatashaVic Capitã Nat (@NatashaVic) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Can I speak to a human, please? It’s impossible to speak to anyone here. I paid for my bill via bank transfer more than a week ago and it hasn’t been registered. Phone service is not recognising my password and I can’t find a live chat.

  • pillbo01 kevin.james (@pillbo01) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia No as you person on 150 said you do not have a customer service that I could talk too. Your engineer said it was a fault at the box in street so I don’t know when it is fixed. But it’s not improve in the last month

  • Gary_Kilroy Gary Kilroy (@Gary_Kilroy) reported from Liverpool, England

    Having the choice of the awful customer service of @virginmedia or the @bt_uk network which in my area might as well be two tin cans tied together with string is great!

  • JakeBar66365454 Jake Barnes (@JakeBar66365454) reported

    @VirginMediaNews Is it Virgin Media 3's position that there is only one opposition party in the Dail? Two separate Sinn Fein spokesperson's on the same topic? Getting as bad as RTE news. Get a grip.

  • chrishenry88 chris henry (@chrishenry88) reported

    @virginmedia it seems connection is so bad you can’t see my tweets , that’s the only conclusion I can draw , after all I’m sure you wouldn’t ignore me .

  • justinbrummer Dr. Justin Brummer (@justinbrummer) reported

    Possibly the worst customer service ever @virginmedia avoid this rubbish company @richardbranson @albrummer

  • Liamtish Liam (@Liamtish) reported

    @virginmedia Alright, its none of these basic things. I need a new hub and an engineer. Please don't tell me to check the basic trouble shoot pages that tell me to reset the router. This is an actual fault.

  • ibi2001uk Ibi (@ibi2001uk) reported

    @virginmedia Your competitors use SM to sort out their customer issue. Yet here you are saying you don’t have access to complaints raised on your system. What is the point of the SM account then (win new customer and then treat them badly like existing ones?)

  • LeopardPopular Popular_leopard (@LeopardPopular) reported

    @virginmedia why don’t you just admit you have terrible WiFi and drop all this “best WiFi in uk”. It’s bullshit

  • ibi2001uk Ibi (@ibi2001uk) reported

    @virginmedia I did on Friday and one of the manager refused to do the needful so I have to wait for another call. I doubt if I’ll ever recommend you guys due to the terrible customer service. Nobody takes charge of a problem rather they pass customer from pillar to post

  • martr101 Martin Rands (@martr101) reported

    @wurzelm74 @virginmedia I've had the same problem, but recently it's been much better. Too many people working from home? Some streets, only Virgin has the high speed optical cable, so only alternative is 5mbps #monopoly on hi-speed?

  • RichardAtkin1 Richard Atkin (@RichardAtkin1) reported

    @virginmedia It has just happened again. Message says lost connection. This is TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. Please arrange a time with me for an engineer to come out. You are getting over 100 pounds a month for a service that is not up to scratch. It is also amazing how many of my pupils and 1/2
