    @BlaggerBly @virginmedia Seems to be Wirral wide at least, and I think Liverpool is affected too. VM should be massively compensating their affected customers for this, but they hide behind their terms and conditions where they only deem it reasonable to compensate if the outage last more than 3 days!

    @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

    Day 42 of no service from @virginmedia. Engineer meant to be coming again today, think I’ve more chance of a unicorn showing up to be fair. 🦄

  • jgrailpics
    James (@jgrailpics) reported from Liverpool, England

    When will I be able to go just one single day without @virginmedia failing, cannot wait until next year when the contract is over, increase the bills but reduce the service to next to nothing?

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

    @virginmedia No, they just left. Rang your customer service they are now telling me the problem is internal. I’ve had no internet since July, no tv since August. It’s beyond a joke now. 5 visits I’ve had.

  • ChrisWAzure
    Chris Wright (@ChrisWAzure) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia ..i don't know what manager in any way of life won't speak to a customer! I called back and spoke to another member of the team, who has logged it as a complaint, a manager is calling me today and he is looking what he can do for a 93 year old. Being forced to pay £105 a month...

    Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia 2/2 who can I speak to as it was working fine on Friday until the issues that were nothing to do with me happened, so don’t see why I should now pay for a technician

    Absolute nightmare trying to watch @SkySportsF1 on my phone because of how poor @virginmedia are especially since merging with @o2, used to just put email and password in, now going around in circles with same message asking me to verify email link and switch, very poor practice.

    @Benleo @virginmedia Their customer service is absolutely shite.

  • chris327759
    chris8854.bskysocial (@chris327759) reported

    @virginmedia No I’m aware of the power outage so all I want to do is watch tv which is fine. There’s no internet yet, it’s the message constantly flashing up on the screen that’s annoying. Once u have seen it once, u shouldn’t need to see it again, but every 10 seconds it’s there

  • EngagesBrain
    🕹️ EᑎGᗩGEᔕᗷᖇᗩIᑎ 🎮 (@EngagesBrain) reported

    @RobRollin2 @virginmedia Virgin Media's routers are garbage. As a result I've have only ever run mine in modem-only mode and provide my own wi-fi for my home. Works flawlessly.

  • yrubswed
    asum izak (@yrubswed) reported

    @Ofcom @virginmedia must send you an End of Contract Notification (EoCN) between 10 and 40 days before contract ends. This alerts upcoming price changes and available deals, however, sometimes this does not provide 30 days' notice to formally cancel on most occasions. Ofcom investigate

    @Benleo @virginmedia Wait wait I can top that, daughter has sky broadband, it went off about 2 months ago, she's rung & rung, told they can't check her service or book an engineer, took the payment last month, this month took 2. Still say they can't check anything. OMFG what a load of rubbish!!

    @jomickane @Benleo @virginmedia Vodafone. I mean they all ******* suck but Vodafone sucks least at the moment.

  • AndrewPittman2
    Andrew Pittman (@AndrewPittman2) reported

    @virginmedia @IanLythgoe4 We’ve been without TV for five days! Despite being told it would be sorted “ within 24 hours” on Saturday, now been told after a 30 minute phone call that no engineer available until next Saturday!! Shockingly bad service Virgin Media.

  • DaveHughes182
    Dave Hughes (@DaveHughes182) reported

    @virginmedia This issue appeared to be fixed only for the internet connection to drop out again a few minutes later last night and the fix date remains 5 whole days! It doesn't seem to be affecting anyone else in my street other than me. Can anyone help?

    Ben Leo (@Benleo) reported

    I have released all audio tapes of my many calls since April 30 and will be collating them for the nation to see how @virginmedia treat their customers and breach consumer law.
