    @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.

    @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.

  • 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

    @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 😤 😒

  • 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

  • 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

  • CallyRaven
    Carol Rowles (@CallyRaven) reported from Westhoughton, England

    @virginmedia And our Internet is down again this morning! So because its intermittent we don't get compensation, tried to call, can't get through (have to do it on mobile, our 'landline' is now internet reliant!)

  • tomrushton88
    Tom Rushton (@tomrushton88) reported from Haydock, England

    @virginmedia Don't use this company its disgusting and disappointing the way they treat customers. Been trying to sort my contract out for 3 months now while they rob my money, create contracts that I've not agreed to and cancel complaints that I've raised.

  • obpls1995
    owen southworth (@obpls1995) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia can you explain why the moment I told your staff over the phone that I was disabled they decided to speak to me as if I was an idiot and then tell me they can't help me because I can't spell out my password despite telling them 5 times what the password was.

    @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.

    @virginmedia Hi thankyou4 replying. You offered me the piss a while back for free then tried to charge approx 25 quid a month for them.The issue is half your line and half the equipment. You can never send an engineer out as everytime I phone there is an issue in the area.Another outage today

    @koenjideck Only worked well for me in recent years, but it gave me a decade of packet loss and outages before then 😵‍💫 I remember playing games with people on my street at uni, and half the people would disconnect in a lobby whenever Virgin Media had an outage 🥀

  • philbreadin
    Phil (@philbreadin) reported

    @virginmedia how come my bill has jumped from £55 to £72 mid contract? I understand it's April and a small price increase is expected but £17 is taking the mick. With the issues I've had lately @skytv is looking more tempting.

  • HaveringHammer
    Stewart Neilson ⚒ 🇬🇧 (@HaveringHammer) reported

    I’ve just been given Netflix ( I know I’m late to getting it ) by VirginMedia. The first show I’ve started watching is Breaking Bad ( I know I’m late to watching that too ) My question is should I stick with it as I’m 3 shows in and not sure what all the fuss was about yet?

  • Jess_Simpson645
    Jessica Simpson 😺🐶🐾 (@Jess_Simpson645) reported

    @virginmedia just trying to cancel an engineer appointment by phone. The amount of questions I am being asked to verify it’s me is absolutely ridiculous. They are wanting information that I will have to look up on my computer which is not to hand, so unfortunately they will have to turn up at my house and I will have to tell them they are not needed and I will tell them why.

    Highflier_100 (@highflier_100) reported

    @virginmedia who can I talk to about the poor service you provide to your broadband customers? My contract ends in a month and I can’t wait to get rid!

  • clintontayls
    Clinton (@clintontayls) reported

    @virginmedia very unhappy with our tv service that hasn’t worked properly for 2 weeks despite a replacement box🤬😥…..not easy to phone you either!!

    Tired of paying for multiple subscriptions like Sky, BT Sport, Virgin Media, Now TV, Amazon Prime, Disney+, Apple TV+? I have got the solution. This IPTV @8k_Best_IPTV23 offers: • 300,000+ live channels • 65,000+ VODs • PPV events • Netflix • 78,000+ movies

  • Delveyboy
    Heinz Beanz (@Delveyboy) reported

    @virginmedia Why would they cut my service completely? They deliberately cut my wire to service the neighbour. When I questioned them, they completely denied it. And why couldn't they have fixed it on the spot? Instead of having no service? Breach of contract

    Ricky Butcher (@rickybutcher_) reported

    @virginmedia 5 mins left in the match & forced to sit through 3x 20/30 second ads for Real Madrid Vs Bayern Munich. I promise you, whatever pennies you're gleaning from people tuning in late they are wildly offset by those who'll swear never to give you another penny otherwise.

    @MJW_F1 @Channel4 @virginmedia Same with sky this past weekend, it could be a channel four issue.
