    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?

  • 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?

  • laineypb2109

    @virginmedia sort your **** out. No service at all since half 8 last night. Wirral CH41 area

    Please sort this out. You charge enough, surely we are entitled to a service that actually works??@virginmedia #virginmedia

    @virginmedia your Internet sucks

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

    @virginmedia thanks for the awful internet service, f*cking useless you are

  • 92Tevs
    Thomas Evans (@92Tevs) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia do you want the prize for the shittiest broadband ever or would you like to fix my internet service?

  • 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.

  • 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”

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

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

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

    @virginmedia Visit was fine replaced wifi. I was never out of Internet completely like it says only your compensation page, but it was equally as bad since my step daughter had online training to do which couldn't be done at all. My children also were not able to do homework.

  • StuartWilksHeeg
    Stuart Wilks-Heeg (@StuartWilksHeeg) reported from Seaforth, England

    @tonymc39 @virginmedia Really, truly shockingly terrible.

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

    @virginmedia can someone help me please? I’m about to lose my ****. Never ever known anything like this company. Now telling me lies on WhatsApp. Saying i logged an issue weeks after engineers had already been out to find the fault. Refusing compensation after 4 mths no service.

  • 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.)

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

    @les_murray71 @virginmedia Still saying 12.05 on the app Lesley .... have they put that new estimated fix time out elsewhere? 😱

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

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

    @virginmedia Yes I’ve been told this before… yet it never happened when my bill was generated. Let’s see eh..

  • 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 🍀 😳😩

    Having the choice of the awful customer service of @virginmedia or the @bt_uk network which in my area might as well be two tin cans tied together with string is great!

    I’ve had zero TV signal since before lunchtime @virginmedia and was wondering if you’re going to actually sort it out and as a gesture of good faith knock money off this months bill

  • JohnTho10402150
    John Thomson (@JohnTho10402150) reported

    @EdnaKrabapple1 @virginmedia I'm just keen to know when I, and others, will get BBC 3 and 4 back because they have been lost since yesterday's outage.

  • paulmc_96
    Paul McKigen (@paulmc_96) reported

    @virginmedia wifi and tv down again same as yesterday. What are we paying for

  • EB51_
    Elias (@EB51_) reported

    Tell me why @virginmedia I’ve tried to set up broadband with yourselves but you’ve cancelled without telling me, I’m under the assumption that Monday 18th May that an engineer will be here to connect me up, However, after contact your customer service they have repeatedly…

  • matthewailin
    Matthew Holmes (@matthewailin) reported

    @virginmedia You boys going to sort this out tonight or are we still waiting for yesterday morning’s expected fix?

  • Magnum_Tom5
    tom (@Magnum_Tom5) reported

    @_lliesl_ @ArmchairAdml @globalds Grain They're limited in coverage because they're new, but they have their own lines like Virgin media and don't run on openreach network

  • EdnaKrabapple1
    Edna Krabapple 💙 (@EdnaKrabapple1) reported

    @JohnTho10402150 @virginmedia Agreed. We settled down to watch Top of the Tops only to find we now don't have BBC4 or BBC3.

  • cyberbob1uk
    Cyberbob1uk (@cyberbob1uk) reported

    @virginmedia are you taking the proverbial? The broadband has been out more often than I have in the short time I've been with you. And now you aim to rectify the problem in 4 days time?

  • debski2222
    hellooooooooo (@debski2222) reported

    @BriefcaseMike @virginmedia I hope it comes back on for you ASAP. That's the trouble with these companies, you're late with a payment and they're all over you. But if they fail to provide service they shrug their shoulders.

  • SteveJusta
    Steve Justa (@SteveJusta) reported

    @virginmedia @bisho32287 How much of a refund are we all getting @virginmedia ? I just knew when the fix time estimate said 5:05 that it wouldn't be - why not just give the real estimate instead of this nonsense?!
