    @virginmedia In this room have always had problems but just not like today. The router is just over 2 metres from box.

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia Nobody can help me, they just keep asking for patience. They’ve had since august to fix it. It’s unacceptable.

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

    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. 🦄

  • Steveo67
    Steve Pouncey (@Steveo67) reported from Upholland, England

    any one got any links for the game @virginmedia is crap for whatching @SkySports

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

    @virginmedia Too many service drops. Engineer has been to properly to fix but this persists.

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

    @virginmedia 38 days after the repull should’ve been done? You think that’s good customer service?

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

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

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

    @virginmedia Okay, but with respect, the problem is your call centre say different stuff every time, which inevitably bears no resemblance to reality. Later, VM deny those conversations ever took place and there is no written evidence to back up what was agreed. That's what I am after here?

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • supergran22
    Maureen StewartJones (@supergran22) reported from Eccleston, England

    @virginmedia I'm not sure this is the 3rd box. It's the one with the router in same room. Re advice remotely got message saying problem could not be solved.

  • cambo691
    Cambo (@cambo691) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @les_murray71 @virginmedia This and their woeful customer service is why we binned them off mate

  • 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.

  • 1AnneMcCormack
    Anne McCormack (@1AnneMcCormack) reported from Billinge Chapel End, England

    @virginmedia I tell them to ring 999 or 0151 709 6010 if they want to report a crime. They hang up but they sound South Asian and their English is poor. I worry about other oaps being conned. Good luck chasing them.

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

    @virginmedia is honestly the worst company for WiFi

  • 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!

  • 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.

    @virginmedia broadband being down again, how, why

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

    @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!

    @Isa_Yolina Hi it's us from Virgin Media O2. Sorry you're having this issue, if you would like to DM us a screenshot of the issue, and the email you use on the app.

  • callderone
    JacquieB 💚🤍💜 (@callderone) reported

    @virginmedia why can’t you cancel or reduce your package online? @Ofcom is it legal to try and delay any attempt to cancel your TV package by failing to respond to requests on messaging apps or keeping you holding on a call for hours?

  • BryanGr68681814
    Bryan Green (@BryanGr68681814) reported

    @virginmedia Morning, is there a problem in the Enfield area with the Internet?

  • SteveHilditch
    Steve Hilditch (@SteveHilditch) reported

    Well done virginmedia. ‘Intermittent signal in your area’ during the penalty shoot out of the champions league final. Missed most of it. Not impressed.

  • MelinaKakoulid7
    Melina Kakoulidis (@MelinaKakoulid7) reported

    I am wondering on what is wrong with customer services advisers at @virginmedia Why would they ask me for my monthly price & when I tell them £27 I then get asked for my email address which I gave and then immediately after my email address confirmation they again ask my price

  • laankaan
    kaan #freeimamoglu (@laankaan) reported

    @virginmedia So should I check your outage page daily to see if I’m getting the service I’m already being overcharged for? It took 30 minutes to talk to someone btw. Also; scaring people to overpriced renewals 6 months in advance is DISGUSTING.

  • melvynmalloch
    Melvyn Malloch (@melvynmalloch) reported

    @virginmedia moved to your broadband service from @TalkTalk a few months ago it's something I regret everyday. Your customer service is non existent calls cut off before getting any help same as online help. I have a smart home with multiple devices that can't connect have never

  • legendkiller2k8
    LegendlKiller2k ™⚪ (@legendkiller2k8) reported

    @HarryZiman @OliverGMcManus @virginmedia Virgin Media use their own network.

  • textmaniac78
    Adam Weston (@textmaniac78) reported

    @OliverGMcManus @virginmedia I got told once and I don't know if it works but if you ring up and upgrade to another package it's classed as a new contract so you can cancel within 14 days maybe worth looking into doing that

  • petepedwards
    pedwards (@petepedwards) reported

    @OliverGMcManus @virginmedia They are on a separate network to most other providers so you can get a contract with someone like BT/Sky etc while Virgin dispute is sorted. Three also offer a 5g based home internet service that's dependent on mobile signal.
