  • SteffyJ1 Steph Scully (@SteffyJ1) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia Upgraded TV boxes Friday at 5pm and still no TV service. Spoken to 7 different customer service people. Even had a text to say all sorted but no. Very poor service especially in this day and age and a big media company! Not good enough.

  • Cuttsrich rich cutts (@Cuttsrich) reported from Tyldesley, England

    Its been a pain in the *** with broadband down all day working from home. But now no Joy of Painting with Bob Ross! It's not the despair that gets me down, it's the hope #virginmedia

    @virginmedia Yeah I did initially and then doesn't load the page Tried calling just automated sent me links to mobile the same links already checked and then hung up No estimated time of when will be fixed.. I guess it's with people finishing work and realising their service is down hmmm

  • nuttyhill Patrick Veale (@nuttyhill) reported from Warrington, England

    @O2 why does your signal seem to be terrible everywhere now? Even in town centres. I know you've partnered with @virginmedia but you didn't have to share their service quality

  • RoyRoyski73 Roy Stephens (@RoyRoyski73) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia another example of amazingly useless customer service. Well done @virginmedia , you sent a cheque in her old married name, and then hung up on her when she tried to sort it out. #dontmindtakingmymoney #uselesscustomerservice

  • RoyRoyski73 Roy Stephens (@RoyRoyski73) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia You reply didn't work, I clicked the link and the messages came up on a different page? But only mine??? Tuesday I'm going to ring, I just hope you don't hang up on me. Then I'm going to get advice on how to report the whole situation.

  • shell634 Michelle Oldroyd (@shell634) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia The TV is out The box just keeps going from no signal to starting up on a loop Currently ourphone line isn't working again I've lost count of how many engineers have been out ! We are paying just under £100 a month for what ?? Thankfully internet ok I'm a home worker !

  • AnneWoolley1 Anne Woolley (@AnneWoolley1) reported from Hindley, England

    @virginmedia after having my email hacked and new password not working, you tell me you’ll get back to me in 3 to 5 days!! How is this compatible with modern day communications? Just not good enough!

  • LJBret11 El Jày Breth (@LJBret11) reported from Seaforth, England

  • Rob_Mcgimpsey Rob Mcgimpsey (@Rob_Mcgimpsey) reported

    @virginmedia They’ve said that it’s down to a “3rd party”. For this reason virgin has no control, no visibility and no answers. Poor really. They can’t even give me a date when the appropriate work will be carried out, despite me asking time and time again.

  • jamesbon1965 jamesie boy (@jamesbon1965) reported

    I’m having the worst nightmare ever with virgin media. How do I get satisfied is making me very stressed and I am now “not ok”

  • LeeErrington Lee Errington (@LeeErrington) reported

    @virginmedia The service checker is now saying no issues in my area… Come on Virgin what’s going on. 1 minute there is issue the next everything is OK, when it clearly is not. I took this service due to so called reliability as I work from home. How Do i claim compensation for this loss?

  • itsnotO56763609 itsnotOK (@itsnotO56763609) reported from Spelthorne District, England

    @virginmedia Why do you make it impossible to downgrade packages? Choosing "change package" only allowed was upgrade. Talk to customer service, they say they're only allowed to upgrade. Is the only possible to reduce package by cancelling?

  • StumpyC94 Scott Cunnington (@StumpyC94) reported

    @virginmedia There aren't any and hang up. Not one of the call centre staff I have spoke to have been at all helpful with this, none of them have the time to help or the ability to answer questions. Not a clue how this is award winning customer service

  • Arcialt Arcia (@Arcialt) reported

    @virginmedia No issues were detected but now the Internet is back, I wouldn't be surprised if the same issue happened tomorrow as it happened yesterday.

  • LeeErrington Lee Errington (@LeeErrington) reported

    @virginmedia I have checked and TV & Broadband issues not phone. I have an engineer now booked for Thursday at the earliest. Issues is not within the house its external as other houses and neighbours with Virgin are having the same issue.

  • SimonAC89 Simon Attwood-Cox 🐝 (@SimonAC89) reported

    @virginmedia are absolutely useless. Without tv and internet for a week after we have moved house. Should have been installed on 8th December never showed never called. Now being told 3rd of Jan. disgusting. Iv recommended my brother before we moved sorted him out asap….

  • EliFernandez100 Morocco Mole Esq. (@EliFernandez100) reported

    @virginmedia Fine. I can't get iplayer, Netflix, amazon Prime. The length of this outage is unacceptable

  • liyy____ liyy (@liyy____) reported

    3. @virginmedia you don’t tell me my deal is ending, roll me onto a more expensive monthly payment and then refuse to let me switch to a better deal because ‘they’re for new customers’ by far the WORST broadband provider. Awful connection and AWFUL treatment of loyal customers
