    @virginmedia A complaint has been logged but I still have not received a call from a supervisor. I have not been assured what compensation we will be given due to this chaotic mess!!!

  • Gallerixia Rixie | MamaDemonDoggo (@Gallerixia) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia do you know when service will be back up. I have to make important phone calls before 5pm when lines are closed for the evening. I'm also an emergency contact for two children and an elderly relative who is also affected.

  • Benmorley23 Ben Morley (@Benmorley23) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia @Ofcom I now have a recording of the last advisor who I spoken to... terrible terrible service and I will not ever return to @virginmedia. What a waste after 20 years of being with you. What a shame, I will send the recording to @ofcom and cancel the direct debit 👍🏻

  • JennaAndKyle ourfloridaadventures (@JennaAndKyle) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia No we’ve been using it for years and it’s been fine. We’ve turned the box off & on to see if that would help but nothing

  • CllrMichaelHaw Councillor Michael Haw (@CllrMichaelHaw) reported from Eccleston, England

    @stevehhh Virgin media is accessible, the problem has been reliability. A number of residents on those roads listed have had severe issues with the service & from experience BT Broadband is the more reliable. For example, in Eccleston Park residents now have access to Virgin & BT... [cont]

  • SCRcrofty83 Paul Croft (@SCRcrofty83) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia Done them both saying no issues but somehow I'm having WiFi connection issues

  • BobbyBattersby bobby (@BobbyBattersby) reported from Chorley, England

    @ITV gone down on @virginmedia

  • Benmorley23 Ben Morley (@Benmorley23) reported from Warrington, England

    2nd attempt to cancel my account and @virginmedia hang up again. I requested to raise a complaint and they hang up! @Ofcom will be contacted. (Seen as you’re not allowing a consumer to raise a complaint)

  • GemlouHughes Gemmalouise Hughes (@GemlouHughes) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia wow I’m Disappointed with your services last wk there was an outage so u gave 5g for every1 to use didn’t know you was gonna take it away on the Monday I think that’s disgusting I have five lines with you plus home! Something better needs 2 b done not all use net

  • ChrisPhelps78 Chris Phelps (@ChrisPhelps78) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia 14 year customer M41 area Manchester. New router Monday internet dropping around Tea time (350meg). Engineer yesterday new boosters and I’ve had to buy a ether switch as told it’s my cctv no it’s not. Let’s hear the PR BS I want a proper refund!!! #virginmedia

  • CllrMichaelHaw Councillor Michael Haw (@CllrMichaelHaw) reported from Eccleston, England

    @stevehhh so if there are issues with Virgin Media they can easily switch to BT. If BT High Speed Fibre Optic broadband can be secured sooner, rather than later, those residents who are experiencing issues with Virgin Media can switch/be able to access the High Speed Fibre Optic service.

  • GeoffParkinson6 Geoff Parkinson (@GeoffParkinson6) reported from Tyldesley, England

    @virginmedia my internet service has not been working properly for months. It keeps on dropping out intermittently. Your customer service process is appalling and the issue is still not resolved! What should I do now, cancel and move provider?

  • QuantumSkyline Grahame (@QuantumSkyline) reported

    @ThePeoplesSpace @IAdler6 @virginmedia Needs to be 24 hours of outage for compensation I think?

  • BancoDePapa グラハム・スミス® ©Official (@BancoDePapa) reported from London, England

    I wonder if anyone has a #skyglass connected to a #virginmedia broadband? At least with #SkyQ your TV service will be unaffected

  • dan2kuk Daniel Godfrey (@dan2kuk) reported

    Dear @virginmedia, this Thursday at 4pm GMT I have a second chance at a very important zoom call I tried to take today. If it’s not too much trouble, could you please leave the internet on for me for about an hour, that would be grand. #virginmediadown #VirginMediaoutage
