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

    @virginmedia They’ve been today apparently to do the repull and nothing has changed. Still no service. I won’t be paying this month as I’m not paying for nothing.

  • DaveMbootlebuck
    DM 🦌 (@DaveMbootlebuck) reported from Litherland, England

    @virginmedia Mine has just gone down now. I can’t ring via the virgin phone because the phone is connected to the hub.

  • RayWaring
    Ray Waring (@RayWaring) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Sorry I really don’t get it. A few hours ago I was told that your team would investigate etc. Now you’re telling you don’t have any access so I’m left to hang on with no one from VM being able to update me. Is that it?

    Virgin media customer service 🥴😭🤯

  • laineypb2109
    Elaine Brown (@laineypb2109) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia 15% increase, don't think so mate. I'll be in touch via phone shortly with a cancellation notice. So much for long serving customer loyalty

  • NdawanaY
    Ndawana Youngson (@NdawanaY) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia They worked on it, or so I thought. I was told they fixed some external connections issue (outside the house)

  • lurkinhead
    Martin Travis (@lurkinhead) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia There's no point raising a complaint is there, as you won't comprnsate? Other reputable oroviders offer a back-up 4 or 5g device to kick in if their main broadband goes down, to keep the service running. Not VM though - it's just all really poor customer service innit?

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

    @virginmedia Telling me an engineer will come next week now, not good enough. Waited in all morning for one that never came and still no service.

  • 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.

  • Robertlfc_
    Rob (@Robertlfc_) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia fix ur awful service!!!!

  • hall291
    Pauline Hall (@hall291) reported from Halton, England

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

  • 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?

  • MarkLangshaw
    Mark Langshaw (@MarkLangshaw) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Was Thursday or Friday but you never call me back when you say you will, so I'm not confident it will be completed unless I keep chasing it up.

  • SmithysMaud
    Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported 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.

  • 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?

  • 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?

  • ZachcloseYT

    @virginmedia you are so crap we don't pay you to keep having problems daily

  • BootleFCBucks
    Bootle Bucks (@BootleFCBucks) reported from Liverpool, England

    @JamesSymes8 Virgin Media. It keeps going really bad.

  • bikbee
    ikkivllattun (@bikbee) reported from Chester, England

    No Wi-Fi internet in my area @virginmedia man down apparently 🙄@O2 signal **** … not sure what they’re excuse is 🤔😳….So I’m roaming round with my phone in the air hoping to get lucky 🍀 😳😩

  • 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.

  • ForkYeah07
    Moderately Sarcastic (@ForkYeah07) reported

    An absolute nightmare getting onboard with Virgin Media broadband. They changed my appointment on the last day. Who the hell is going to pay me for the inconvenience this will have? This is absolutely ridiculous. Is this the service you guys provide?? @virginmedia

  • birdiegotweet84
    BM (@birdiegotweet84) reported

    @virginmedia Hi guys. The voice activated part of my remote isn’t working at the moment. Could you give me some guidance on how to fix the issue please? Thanks in advance for your help!

  • Brutha_bear74
    Chris (@Brutha_bear74) reported

    @virginmedia I’m trying to login to my account but I’m getting an error code of IDF-12B, how can I pay my bill or get in the app? It’s not recognising my email even though I’m getting my email bills from you

  • rchcool
    It's mom not mum (@rchcool) reported

    @virginmedia 3rd time this week our broadband is down, no explanation has been given each time only “an outage has been identified” and it takes at least a day to repair. What is the reason? I need to work from home this week and receive the service I am paying for.

  • jonno153
    Shakermaker (@jonno153) reported

    @virginmedia hello, I’ve been having WiFi problems for some time now. I already have a WiFi pod in the home but if I move it then we get another dead spot. I have called about this but was told that I need to have a speed test below 30mbps.

  • kevinclarknw
    Kevin Clark (@kevinclarknw) reported

    More horrendously bad service from @virginmedia. Broadband in SR2 out AGAIN, estimated to be off for three days and website says you need to register the fault to qualify for compensation while offering no way to do so.

  • saoirseisla
    Isla (@saoirseisla) reported

    @virginmedia 10 straight days. No WiFi/tv channels. No, it’s not an area outage,it started as one but now it’s a major issue affecting my connection.I’ve been on the app but it says no outage issues in my area. No one can seem to tell me when it will be fixed. I work from home and need wifi

  • The_Broski_Boot
    AJ (@The_Broski_Boot) reported

    @virginmedia The estimated fix time was initially reported to be 6 May at 1pm Then we got told today at 6pm Now it’s back to 6 May at 1pm Surely we cannot be left without broadband and TV until Wednesday? Ref : F012271473
