  • 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?

  • Simonrob1984
    Simon Roberts (@Simonrob1984) reported from Saughall, England

    @virginmedia why is the service down in Chester area? #virginmediadown

  • realjackoh187
    Jack Kelly (@realjackoh187) reported from Widnes, England

    @virginmedia So I had loss of service but not complete even tho the service I had wasn't enough to even complete a 15 minute online training. Great. Even though you only have cold water, would you still get a bath? Nah don't think you would

  • 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

  • andrewjmcgill
    Andy McGill (@andrewjmcgill) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia I have been without broadband all day, a day after you sent me a letter about price increases, an increase for what, even poorer service!!!!

  • DoctorRood
    DRood 🏳️‍🌈🎗 (@DoctorRood) reported from Chester, England

    @virginmedia I never expected any engineer, because I'm aware it's an outage that affects a lot of people. But your CS responses could be a lot better.

  • John_Kelly17
    John Kelly (@John_Kelly17) reported from St Helens, England

    @CruisingTheCut I’ve had very few issues with virgin media - depends if you need TV though. Otherwise I’ve heard very good things about over the air using the three network or EE.

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

    You say you care about your customers and if you did you would fix your ******* **** Internet problems that everyone is having and don't even bother replying @virginmedia

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

    @virginmedia I looked and that says it’s from the day I registered the total loss of service which was yesterday but really it should be from Friday afternoon when I did the online chat. If I DM you can you check?

  • duckyblog
    Ducky 🇺🇦 🎃 👻 (@duckyblog) reported from Tyldesley, England

    @virginmedia Issues with all VM services in my area says expected fix by 4:40pm today.

  • hall291

    @virginmedia how am I supposed to run an online tutoring business from home when your system goes down twice in a day ? #payingmorebutgettingless

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

    @virginmedia It’s to our address, we need a full repull and was told it would be done within 48hrs. This issue has been going on for months, they were just telling me to reboot the hub.

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

    @virginmedia 3 x engineer visits, each time telling me there’s a blockage. Why does nobody fix it? I can’t even get through to cancel my services and get a refund for the direct debits I’ve paid when I’ve had zero service.

  • DoctorRood
    DRood 🏳️‍🌈🎗 (@DoctorRood) reported from Chester, England

    @virginmedia What does Virgin do for disabled people, when their internet goes down?

  • jmcloughlin
    Jamie McLoughlin (@jmcloughlin) reported from Liverpool, England

    Anyone having @virginmedia issues in Liverpool area? Our TV has been showing static for the past half hour.

  • ShanklyBob77
    Ian Hawksey (@ShanklyBob77) reported from Aintree Village, England

    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.

  • TimmyJ1972
    Tim Jackson (@TimmyJ1972) reported from Garston, England

    @virginmedia I’d love to hear from how I’m supposed to report an issue with my broadband. You can’t do it via live chat and seemingly not via the phone either as you’re “experiencing difficulties”

  • alandean1878
    Alan Dean (@alandean1878) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia Everything struggles to stay connected to the Internet. Mobiles, laptops, the TV's. I'm not sure if the speed is an issue as I haven't checked it. (I'm not sure how to.)

  • AndyMcK1982
    Andy McKeown (@AndyMcK1982) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia So I’ve been told false information to make me sign up there and then! Terrible customer service there!

  • 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.

    @virginmedia @1StaceyBowman Don’t waste your time Stacey. I’ve been waiting four days for a proper interaction with them and have sent four “private messages” as requested. They simply ask you to DM them to keep their atrocious service and your full complaint from public view.

  • bahallathegreat
    Emily Atkins (@bahallathegreat) reported

    @virginmedia Don’t need the speed testing downstairs that’s fine just upstairs used to be normal but I do need someone tho come lay the cab,e back down

  • baldiecute5
    meeeee (@baldiecute5) reported

    Just about had enough of this company and haven't even been connected yet ! Engineers turning up on wrong day or not at all ! Customer servicea shockingly hard to understand! And pretty useless , last chance tomorrow before I cancel transfer @virginmedia

  • WingsSherpa
    Wingssherpa (@WingsSherpa) reported

    @VirginMedia_TV Shouldn’t it be ‘heavy entertainment’? I’ll look forward to that on Virgin Media Player. Actually, no I won’t because it never puts anything on there for UK viewers.

  • bahallathegreat
    Emily Atkins (@bahallathegreat) reported

    @virginmedia hi guys um I need a engineer to relay my cable also just to check my hub etc as my speeds up stairs are half what the used to be we’ve done all the normal stuff soo just need the number but all I find is customer services

  • CorkinDawn
    dawnieC (@CorkinDawn) reported

    @virginmedia I already said i did status check which is estimating 5.08pm fix. My point was text says should be fixed shortly. I dont consider 9hours being shortly. Why does this happen more often now? You are no longer reliable any more 🙁

  • Ca33ieKins
    Caz (@Ca33ieKins) reported

    @virginmedia Horrendous service! Complete outage all day today. TQ area. No apology. Just the usual standard dialogue. Not acceptable.

  • eternalelneny
    Eternal Elneny (@eternalelneny) reported

    @virginmedia With all due respect, the engineers have been there all day, I saw two of them having a 20 minute lunch break at 10am. Can you push these engineers to get this completed today? Compensation isn’t a valid response to not being able to work - ridiculous service.

  • Weedabixxx
    🅰️🅾️'🅱️🔻🍉 (@Weedabixxx) reported

    Why can't/wont either RTÉ or Virgin Media cover some of the Irish festivals with a live feed similar to Glastonbury? It's a damn shame.

  • MonicaAllan1
    Monica Allan (@MonicaAllan1) reported

    @virginmedia It look like our outage in NW1 will be fixed by the 31st August? Surely that cannot be correct? We have have been without broadband and TV for 3 days now?
