    @richardbranson you really need to sort your @virginmedia company out. There nothing but robbing bastards, everything about the company is bad. 😡

    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

    CryptoDan2k (@CryptoDan2k) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia Are you wanting me to comment in the broadband section? Can you explain the benefits of this as you won't send an engineer out if there is an issue constantly in the area and your tech team are already aware of it, plus I have the ofcom complaint aswell?

    @Virgin @virginmedia #virginmediadown #VirginMedia Imagine paying £52 a month for Internet to be down for 5 days. We work from home. I've used all my 4g, had to buy more to do my job yet when you call up they say it'll be fixed by.. and keeps being postponeded. Fix it Virgin.

    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?

  • EmmaZhaan64
    Emma (@EmmaZhaan64) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia All internet is down, wireless and wired; the hub light is white and it’s a Hub 3.0.

  • Duddydudson
    Kevin Dudson (@Duddydudson) reported from Wigan, England

    @NigelJTurner @virginmedia Same for me, I can cancel or change my package by the 28th of march then get a 19% increase on my new package on the 1st of April. Only had my contract 5 months.being **** Turpind here!!!

  • 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

    @virginmedia your Internet sucks

  • pstock62

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

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

    @virginmedia I totally agree, unfortunately this is not something you have been able to arrange for me for the last 3 months either. 👍 What's the solution?

  • 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?

  • LawAspi
    TheAspiLawStudent #NoReturns (@LawAspi) reported from Chorley, England

    @nerdscav @the_hinchy @virginmedia Yes because a WiFi extender will fix the issue when it's the incoming line and not the hardware 😳. The routers gives a 3ping and 1GBps connection. The issue is virgin's crappy network 👍

  • timmycooke
    Tim Cooke 🇺🇦 (@timmycooke) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia Both wired and wireless. We've had 8 engineers out, a rewire, new hub and still endless drop outs. Was told finally it was an upload issue from the amp that supplied the box on the street. But still we're having issues. The 150 number is joke, make it simple!!!

  • IanRobEfc1878
    IanRob79💙 (@IanRobEfc1878) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia your red button service is absolute dogshit you either get the wrong commentary or it doesn’t even come on! 🤯🤬

  • 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.

  • KerryKez7
    Kerry Louise (@KerryKez7) reported from Urmston, England

    Don’t ever get Virgin Media internet/WIFI it’s SO garbage & keeps going off especially when your watching something WTF & apparently it’s the most up to date & according to them it’s the best NO it’s not plus it’s expensive for being SO c**p 🤬💷😤

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

    @virginmedia I have to say your Internet connection is ridiculous... for months on end, it's been shocking. I'm sick and tired of resetting my hub, I shouldn't be having this issue. Never had so much issue for the years I've had you and now, the past 6 months, I'm paying monies…

  • ylilxanoi
    🥔 A bean has no name 🥔 (@ylilxanoi) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia Yeah.. apparently its down in WN1 but nobody is telling me what's wrong or how long it will take. I need Internet to work.

    Bill Carter (@billingtonius) reported

    @virginmedia What about those experiencing problems with their internet? Being sent pointless updates via text. Each message being sent 3 times. Each message just pushing the expected resolution back a few days. For nearly a month now.

  • dennybragg
    Denise Bragg (@dennybragg) reported

    @virginmedia Is there a problem with stream tv in B91 Solihull ?

  • geordiechris48
    Chris (@geordiechris48) reported

    @COOPSthereitis4 @virginmedia If you waited in you should have a right to charge them. Virgin Media are **** hot in telling the customer that if they miss their appointment or don’t cancel by 4pm the day before then they will be charged £25

  • gullyslusher
    GH (@gullyslusher) reported

    @virginmedia I know you're probably having a meltdown atm but I pay good money for the service and I want to watch @giroditalia and the US golf. Please get it sorted!

  • AnnyTrish
    Trisha (@AnnyTrish) reported

    @virginmedia All channels are scrambled. So that means any scheduled recordings will be useless. Zero info on the VM app. All you get is - sorry, please try again later. No help, no information, no nothing!

  • RichardDavies20
    Richard Davies (@RichardDavies20) reported

    @GoodByeXNow @darreng3007 @virginmedia Thanks so nearly a whole day with things not working properly, crazy

  • devske5
    devske5 (@devske5) reported

    @virginmedia just did the 360 update - that was a bad idea wasn’t it ? We have no TV now, your phone line is useless as per. Can you help please?

  • STEMbySTM
    STEM by STM (@STEMbySTM) reported

    @virginmedia no availability to check service levels, awful system of a series of questions before you get through to report a fault, then awful hold tune, only for the call to terminate after an hour. Dreadful, dreadful customer service.

  • Medzy1506
    Ahmed Mohamed (@Medzy1506) reported

    @virginmedia Been down since approx 9am this morning and still not resolved.

  • norbertsteelez
    Norbertsteelez (@norbertsteelez) reported

    @virginmedia No TV channels all day. Just pixelated pictures. Tried the the website and it cannot check the service for my area. Pretty poor and amateur. And all we will get is a meaningless apology. What would happen if I held back my payments for a period of time and then apologising?
