    @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.

    @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?

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

    @richardbranson you really need to sort out your company @virginmedia they a robbing gets. That company is bad in all areas. Some advice for people trying to cancel record everything for proof as they say they have cancelled it then send you loads of bills 😡

    @virginmedia Been signed up to a contract I specifically asked not to be. Unable to get through on the phone and your online complaint submission form does not work. Can someone please contact me urgently

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

    @virginmedia Internet is down in our area since Monday. I keep getting multiple emails saying it'll be fixed by 12pm tomorrow, then 4pm Wednesday 12pm Thursday, 12pm Friday and now 4pm Friday. None of your call centre staff can help us we've spent hours on hold this week.

    @virginmedia They’ve been today apparently to do the repull and nothing has changed. Still no service. I won’t be paying this month as I’m not paying for nothing.

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

    @virginmedia We have. Multiple times. Your agents don't know how to help. Spoke to 3 different people. I'm getting contant update emails. I don't need to check the service. I know its down. This is beyond ridiculous. I work from home, I can't do my job because of your terrible service.

    (Test) Is anyone experiencing a virgin media Internet outage in M6?

  • PaulRegent1
    Paul Regent (@PaulRegent1) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia no internet available in Bolton - must be an outage as, although coverage is very poor, it isn’t usually this poor!!

  • 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.

  • ChrisFoxRacing
    Christopher Fox (@ChrisFoxRacing) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Already reported the broadband issues, and it's an issue where estimated fix times keep getting pushed back. With regards to mobile issues, this has been around the same length of time. The only way I've been able to get any connection at all is by switching to 3G

  • ZachcloseYT

    Before covid came you was brilliant @virginmedia but ever since then you have been really **** and if it not sorted by next Sunday we are leaving you it literally 2023 and you still got **** service

  • 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 👍

  • 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

  • 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!!!

    Internet down no good when working home #virginmediadown #virginmedia

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

    @virginmedia can someone help me please? I’m about to lose my ****. Never ever known anything like this company. Now telling me lies on WhatsApp. Saying i logged an issue weeks after engineers had already been out to find the fault. Refusing compensation after 4 mths no service.

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

    @virginmedia 3 x engineer visits, each time telling me there’s a blockage. Why does nobody fix it? I can’t even get through to cancel my services and get a refund for the direct debits I’ve paid when I’ve had zero service.

    @virginmedia If my bill went down with my speed, I wouldn't mind.

    Michelle Wright (@EDsetMefree) reported

    @virginmedia been with you ever since you were ntlworld, you recently changed my phone to digital with back up emergency phone, the engineer didn’t take my disability into account, has put my phone where I can’t even get to it, impossible to get through to you as you cut the call before connecting, your now not giving me the service I am paying for and in breach of contract, so I am going to cancel my direct debit for all services including tv

  • sophm108
    Sophie (@sophm108) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia - still not working and no response other than fake virgin accounts. Please can you advise. We will be cancelling the contract next month when it expires.

  • TheRealTomPoole
    Tom Poole 🇬🇧✳️ (@TheRealTomPoole) reported

    @virginmedia - we're trying to cancel your services since the bill has gone up over £80pm. How do I do this, we need to speak to someone in cancellations but I can only get through to sales?

  • o00525600
    NEVER give up. (@o00525600) reported

    @TheMandyGall @ElectricIreland virgin media has threatened me with collecting heavies if I don't pay for service I never got I tried and tried to tell them I was moving but couldn't get to talk to anyone eventually in March I did but they didn't want to know my bill then was 37 e,now it's 157 e on and on on on

  • ShhrMor
    Shahar Mor (@ShhrMor) reported

    @Rugby_Scoop @virginmedia TBH, I'm not sure what POM wants. Would he rather the ref penalized the Irish for these "minor" breakdown infringements? His "coaching" actually helped Ireland slow the ball down without being penalized. Not to mention at least 3 yellows that were not given to them...

  • Kieranbcfc2
    K (@Kieranbcfc2) reported

    @christyboy87 @Rugby_Scoop @virginmedia All I’ve seen on here is people thinking we’re blaming the ref. Like no we know we’re shite, but the ref also was. Wasn’t the reason we lost but we can still say he was bad.

    @virginmedia I have done. Looking forward to a resolution.

    @jonoread @ajzxne They knew owned and run by the same company.. virgin media 02… literally just a subsidiary branded to capture a different market ie the ones who are smart enough to not pay 3 to 4x the amount for the same service

    @virginmedia @RicardoEyes Maybe show decent customer service when you are contacted about issues initially, not just when people have had enough & leave 🤷
