  🥔 A bean has no name 🥔 (@ylilxanoi) reported 12 minutes ago 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 Thanks. Very frustrating and time consuming. Spent whole afternoon trying to sort it. Twitter not really the best way to resolve issues especially with an 82 year old.

  @virginmedia I'm guessing they don't work Saturday Sunday, so that will take us from Thursday to some point Monday for a resolution? Would it be quick if I phone up, send me a case ref number or something?

  Carol Rowles (@CallyRaven) reported 19 minutes ago 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!)

  Tom Rushton (@tomrushton88) reported 22 minutes ago from Haydock, England

  @virginmedia And the last complaint I raised over this got cancelled because it didn't have any details to the complaint even though all the messages are there to see through your WhatsApp service but the retentions team can't see that or deal with the complaint or help in anyway way

  🥔 A bean has no name 🥔 (@ylilxanoi) reported 28 minutes ago from Wigan, England

  @virginmedia my interest been down for a whole week. Call centre staff don't know what to say. An engineer has been on site every single day apparently. Can someone fix my internet. I pay £52 a month this is beyond a joke. I've used all my 4g& bought a ****** dongle just to WFH

• 
  CryptoDan2k (@CryptoDan2k) reported 35 minutes ago from Roby, England

  @virginmedia The issue is I also believe it's my equipment as well. The down time I have you don't seam to log it all. I dont want a router upgrade or anything like that I just want a working router. Everytime I call there is a fault in the area.

  @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

  Anne McCormack (@1AnneMcCormack) reported 37 minutes ago 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.

  Laser Lux, Wigan. (@TheWiganParky) reported 38 minutes ago from Haydock, England

  @virginmedia It says there's no issues at the moment, but I'm only getting 13mbps.

• 
  Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported 41 minutes ago 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.

• 
  Carol Rowles (@CallyRaven) reported 42 minutes ago from Westhoughton, England

  @virginmedia 3 times in 3 weeks we are without internet! We are paying for a service we are not able to use! Are we going to be compensated for this?

• 
  Maureen StewartJones (@supergran22) reported 44 minutes ago from Eccleston, England

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

• 
  Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported 46 minutes ago from St Helens, England

  @virginmedia I reported a total loss of service on 31/8. It was finally fixed this morning. After no shows, lies and weeks between visits. They have not even offered to cover the cost of my last 3 dd’s which I wish I hadn’t paid as I had no service whatsoever

• 
  GreenWasBlue (@GreenwasBlue) reported 51 minutes ago from Bolton, England

  @virginmedia I've tried the online help to no avail.Just going round in circles. How do I get to book a visit by a human being?? 😡

  Colette Ellison (@colette2511) reported 57 minutes ago 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 😡

• 
  Christopher Fox (@ChrisFoxRacing) reported 57 minutes ago 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

  owen southworth (@obpls1995) reported 57 minutes ago 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.

  🥔 A bean has no name 🥔 (@ylilxanoi) reported 1 hour ago from Wigan, England

  @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 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

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

• 
  Captain_red_waffle (@Cptredwaffle) reported 2 minutes ago

  @virginmedia 3rd street-wide outage this year in LS6 tonight. Surveyors have confirmed my property is infra-locked with zero Openreach/Altnet access. Virgin holds a total monopoly here, yet the local street infrastructure is failing. Shambolic really, I need this escalating.

• 
  Andy 👥 ◣ ◢ 🐺(Bully) (@andybullyuk) reported 3 minutes ago

  @virginmedia @nicolajames38 What a stupid question , Of course shes a Virgin Media customer , Theres no other reason why she would be contacting you otherwise

• 
  Andrea Cook 🧷 💙 (@F3Lollipops) reported 4 minutes ago

  @virginmedia we've had CS2004 on all channels since yesterday. I spent a long time in a live chat last night & was assured it would be fixed by 11pm last night but it's not. This is unacceptable. At what point do you compensate for not providing the service for which you're paid?

• 
  Dan (@DanJeoryPhoto) reported 5 minutes ago

  Anyone else in the Chester, NW region having problems with their @virginmedia broadband service? Been down all morning #chestertweets

• 
  Andy (@sadelta99) reported 9 minutes ago

  @virginmedia well done - you fix the issue then it’s broken again so back to no services again and of course your lines are closed so no way of calling

• 
  WRXTW🌊 (@twwenlock) reported 11 minutes ago

  @virginmedia how has the wifi gone down AGAIN two nights in a row 😴

• 
  Tomi (@GadgetsBoy) reported 11 minutes ago

  Trying to cancel a virgin media broadband has to be as painful as pulling teeth without local anaesthetic

• 
  Runningman (@frankieJnr66) reported 13 minutes ago

  @virginmedia How long has this issue been going on for now as I reported it 4 days ago and people saying it’s been 10 days? You surely can’t be serious!

• 
  Sana (@LadySs) reported 17 minutes ago

  @virginmedia service team have been truly abysmal in dealing with the situation involving a 91-year old lady who was out of contract. She was repeatedly told to check your emails unacceptable given her age and circumstances.The lack of compassion and understanding shown is bad

  Mo (@Notts52) reported 18 minutes ago

  @virginmedia DM about what? From my post you have my details, the situation that repeats and repeats and repeats. None of this happened until VM decided that you would make changes for better security by having the VMO2 p'word. Is this problem just us or are others affected? #virginmedia #O2
