    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.

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

    @virginmedia Could the problems in the area have caused damage to the equipment? As it was working fine before. Do I get compensation for all this time as the earliest appointment is Friday 14th?

  • aralph50
    Amanda Ralph (@aralph50) reported from Liverpool, England

    Please sort this out. You charge enough, surely we are entitled to a service that actually works??@virginmedia #virginmedia

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

    @jenwahkiddles @virginmedia Pity they didn’t do it for us, had no tv or broadband for over 3 months and can’t even get the compensation they owe us, plus the direct debits they took knowing we had total loss of service. Shambolic company.

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia I have a booster. It was sent to me last Spring because of previous problems with TV in this room.

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

    @virginmedia You have literally sent me the same link of what I have just screen shot to you to ask me to do the same thing again of the point you have just addressed. 😡😡😡 Fix the bloody problem and get an engineer to my house!

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

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

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

    @virginmedia I seem to be the first one to report them, still saying intermittent problems in my area. Can't get to speak to anyone on phone, I rely on the Internet.

  • barrys59
    Barry Slater (@barrys59) reported from Barton upon Irwell, England

    @virginmedia still no service M27. 4th hour! Rubbish!

  • 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

  • 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.

  • CllrMichaelHaw

    Virgin media customer service 🥴😭🤯

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

    @virginmedia Not really checked today as not working, nans funeral is at 1120. You need to get an engineer to my house next week. I'm paying the bill and not getting the service, not really fair is it.

  • 1AnneMcCormack
    Anne McCormack (@1AnneMcCormack) reported from Billinge Chapel End, England

    @virginmedia I tell them to ring 999 or 0151 709 6010 if they want to report a crime. They hang up but they sound South Asian and their English is poor. I worry about other oaps being conned. Good luck chasing them.

  • 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!)

  • Slt4K
    SLT4K 👨🏻‍💻 🇬🇧 (@Slt4K) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia / Super disappointed after calling to renew my contract and as an existing customer you can’t offer anything half as good as a new customer. Shocking customer retention strategy 🤯

  • ZachcloseYT
    zach close YT 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 (@ZachcloseYT) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia your Internet sucks

  • 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?

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

    @virginmedia Or put me through to a manager or try to be remotely helpful in keeping me as a customer, im trying to sign an 18 month contract to give you money every month which I could just give to someone else I will not let this lie till i have my money back!

    Andy Sutton (@AndySut63307161) reported

    @virginmedia Having problems accessing email on multiple devices, how do i resolve. Cannot find answers, BOT is useless. Do you employ humans with whom i may converse to resolve issues? Regards Andy

  • Demon__Cyborg
    toastyborg (@Demon__Cyborg) reported

    Been on hold for @virginmedia technical support now for THREE hours and still no answer. This is beyond a joke

  • old_stephen
    Stephen Old German - English Translator (@old_stephen) reported

    @virginmedia Cannot log into VM again. Were you born useless or did you have to practice? I am going to change to another provider which has better customer service. I am told that Sky customers only have to make a phone call to get help.

  • SiGallagher
    Simon Gallagher (@SiGallagher) reported

    @virginmedia 22 hours ignoring me. And now I can’t access my sky sports app through my virgin log in because nothing works in this company. Thanks it’s been a real treat

  • mumherts
    BaaBaa (@mumherts) reported

    @VirginMediaNews @virginmedia @VirginMediaCorp still trying to get through to 'help' after four days of trying. Communication company who can't communicate with its customer, no wonder so many people leaving!

  • randeree_a
    AS05 (@randeree_a) reported

    @virginmedia I’m having intermittent broadband connection and your customer service says there’s a 221 minute waiting time! Can you help?

  • NoBotForSupport
    NoBotsForSupport (@NoBotForSupport) reported

    @mumherts @virginmedia Bot support is a very real frustrating issue today. I am a dedicated account to protest the incompetent support system. I hope we get the real human support back where it is needed. #NoBotsForSupport Tag/Mention me for repost.
