    @virginmedia - workman cut through my cable, no Wi-Fi, TV or phone and earliest engineer appointment is Monday??! Completely unacceptable! I work from home and have teens! 😭Help!!!

  • SandraS80775853 Mary (@SandraS80775853) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia This issue has been going on since August. Loss of power for hours on end is adding up to several days. I am currently on hold which I've been doing for 30 minutes. Shocking @Se7 residents please take note of @virginmedia

  • RWheelhouse1 rachel Wheelhouse 🇺🇦 (@RWheelhouse1) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia 6 days since moving to Virgin, we are having issues, the WiFi won't reach our outside cameras. After completing the troubleshooting guides + waiting for over an hour for a chat agent + 30 mins on the phone, we still haven't spoken to a human....not impressed

  • KatiePurkiss Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    Virgin Media broadband down AGAIN. Service Status website & app don’t work as no internet connection 🤨 @virginmedia

  • SandraS80775853 Mary (@SandraS80775853) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia @Miss_SKM That is correct. What it does not cover is the persistent loss of service since August!!! #se7. Nor does it cover the absolute woeful customer services, and I use that phrase lightly, which @virginmedia is able to offer.

  • KatiePurkiss Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    Hey @virginmedia Parents new 360 box not working and engineer not available to come out til the 27th!!!! Not good enough! 😔

  • SandraS80775853 Mary (@SandraS80775853) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Brilliant get out clause @virginmedia. What you fail to realise is that when your so called service goes down for hours at a time, over the course of time amounts to so, so so much more than 48 hours!! Roll on switching of providers.

  • wonky1961 Penny Rolfe nee Acres (@wonky1961) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    I have had wifi issues since june2020now they are trying to get paid twice im 1 month. Virgin still owe me compensation. Due to Virgin's failure to keepvulnerablepeoplesafe.://www.virginmedia.com/support/help/check-services/address-identification/identify

  • starmanuk Jason Starman QBE 💙 (@starmanuk) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia No issues reported. But 7 houses locally reporting outages on local forums. This is happening frequently.

  • wonky1961 Penny Rolfe nee Acres (@wonky1961) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia You are no longer my ISP due to your incompetence. Also there will be a lawsuit pending due to the fact I almost died from pneumonia with pulmonary oedema and sepsis later going into stage 2 respiratory failure. Your useless service is unacceptable.

  • seiferxin1 seiferxin (@seiferxin1) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia really let down by Virgin media. I'm on M200 and am getting 50M at the mo. As low as 0.18M around 7pm and 10M around 8pm. Your customer service chat hasn't responded in 3hrs. I've reset router and changed channels. It's been patchy all week What am I paying for?

  • Richard09499442 Richard Noble (@Richard09499442) reported from South Ockendon, England

    @virginmedia my wifi is terrible, how do i go about getting some boosters so that my signal is as strong as you promise? I can't access the app (thats another unresolved problem!) Also how do i go about receiving the £100 credit that you also promise? Thank you.

  • jfcolomer Juan Folgar Colomer (@jfcolomer) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia what's the reason for the intermittent broadband service in the Charlton #SE7 area? Any ETA when this will be solved?

  • HunteLucy Lucy Hunte (@HunteLucy) reported from London, England

    @themotablogger @virginmedia Terrible in Dagenham too! At least 3 times a day it drops out and normally in the middle of an important meeting! Not good enough!!

  • Liamsmith260493 Liam Smith (@Liamsmith260493) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Our Wifi has been down since yesterday can you help please

  • DianaAlexS DianaS (@DianaAlexS) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia ** PLEASE NOTE ** We don't have human agents supporting troubleshooting / technical issues over our Messaging Platform. If you wish to speak to someone please contact one of the Team on 150 from your Virgin Media Landline or 0345 454 1111 Well that was "helfpul"

  • Richard09499442 Richard Noble (@Richard09499442) reported from South Ockendon, England

    @virginmedia I have never been able to access the app. Its says i will receive an email to verify it but never arrives. Ive contacted virgin a few times but the issue doesn't get resolved!

  • KatiePurkiss Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    After 20 years of being with @virginmedia and Telewest before that, I’ve finally decided to jump ship. Broadband has been horrendous for a couple of weeks and constant issues. 😔. #TimeforaChange

  • KatiePurkiss Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia They haven’t got through to anyone to cancel it yet?

  • KatiePurkiss Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I’ve sorted the issue. But now there’s no way of cancelling the engineer! Can’t get through on phone. Appointment isn’t showing on their account, so can’t cancel there. WhatsApp is useless - been waiting for an Agent to be available since about 1pm!

  • bigain84 Marty G (@bigain84) reported

    @virginmedia having major issues with my tivo box not connecting to my router, sat on hold for an hour to then be disconnected! Error code C133, followed all the online help advice. Still the same!!!!!😡

  • Dave34894540 Dave (@Dave34894540) reported

    @virginmedia We have done all this to no avail! I would really like to speak to someone to see what our options as there are a number of issues, we have called many times, held in a queue for over an hour each time and then get cut off!

  • stephch16 stephch (@stephch16) reported

    @virginmedia been trying to get an engineer to come round for the past 2days, to sort out the mess they created by CUTTING my broadband for no reason-I have all the photos&videos. Customer service have been pushing me saying someone will come on sat&today,still not resolved😡

  • nabz100 nabz (@nabz100) reported

  • Neilpvfc Neilpvfc (@Neilpvfc) reported

    @pvfc_zack @SkySports @virginmedia Give them some ****

  • GraceEScience Grace Edmunds (@GraceEScience) reported

    @virginmedia sorry to do this but called 15x in 4wks, on hold for 1h and you hung up. Your staff ran cables across our doorway to serve neighbour. You wont speak to us or them about moving them. PM me or no choice but to pull them off and your customer will have no wifi. Thnks.

  • 2sticks66 Roger Watling (@2sticks66) reported

    @virginmedia That's it I am broken. 4 hours on the phone, you hung up 3 times. As advised I used the text service that was a hour ago unsurprisingly no reply. You seem to care more about new customers than existing customers. 1of2

  • Podder51 Andy Pearson (@Podder51) reported from Huddersfield, England

    @virginmedia well don’t wait for a response, their complaints department is harder to find than a good signal

  • mhendy1971 mark hendy ⚒ (@mhendy1971) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia But who said I paid £25 just to watch the main advent? I paid £25 to watch all the fights not just one. Very disappointed with your reply, very poor customer service
