  • mands4walkies Mandy 🐩🐾🐕🐾🐶🐾🦅 (@mands4walkies) reported from Southport, England

    @virginmedia Please note @Ofcom that @virginmedia has been down across south west London for 48 hours due to a 3rd party digging up a cable. Virgin Media’s network resilience; disaster recovery; and customer comm’s are inadequate.

  • addsimpson Adam Simpson (@addsimpson) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia My broadband is so slow I can't even watch. Etflix without it buffering. Have rebooted and logged onto website to test. Still getting around 5Mbps instead of the usual 200Mbps

  • 52Normski Norman Williams (@52Normski) reported from Bryn, England

    AWFUL SERVICE. Wrote to @virginmedia about my mobile; no response so rang 789 who cut me off 3 times as they couldn't put me through to that office in Swansea. Direct number online was wrong. On 4th call logged complaint; they to ring me back in 3 days. Not holding my breath.

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia Nope. I have username already selected to my email address, password filled in on both fields, security question drop down selected and answer given in the field, and date of birth drop downs all selected. There’s nothing else I can select or that hadn’t been filled in now.

  • thecraigthomas Craig Thomas (@thecraigthomas) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia you are just awful at customer service and fault management. I am utterly appalled

  • beakybox CHELLE | ✞-4∇3:3 (@beakybox) reported from Seaforth, England

    How much longer is the broadband gonna be down @virginmedia

  • HazelHendriksen hazel hendriksen (@HazelHendriksen) reported from Haydock, England

    @virginmedia I have and no service tv service issues reported

  • annbenedict9 annbenedict (@annbenedict9) reported from Brinscall, England

    @virginmedia surgery phone line keeps cutting out on patients- national issue I am told

  • Sam_Cook_1986 Samuel Cook (@Sam_Cook_1986) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia disappointed to say the least. Customer for 5 years, out of contract, bill is £120 a month, Phone up to renew and negotiate, no offers. Despite Amazon being a new competitor for sports and the mobile experience being infinitely better with them. Package cancelled.

  • stu_the_supply Stuart (@stu_the_supply) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I was very suspicious so gave a blag address and the person on the phone said that is correct! At that point I put the phone down!

  • kingsnoots Chris Sudworth (@kingsnoots) reported from Golborne, England

    Same garbage service from @virginmedia. Don’t bother activating it, you can have it back 🙄

  • 52Normski Norman Williams (@52Normski) reported from Bryn, England

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia Adding a character and then removing that character worked. By pasting the password in, it wasn’t accepting the password regardless. It needed a character to be manually added. I’ve never seen that before on any password fields on any other site, seems like an API issue maybe.

  • HazelHendriksen hazel hendriksen (@HazelHendriksen) reported from Haydock, England

    @virginmedia I need some technical help as my equipment is faulty. Tried all the resets and followed advise but box keeps going into standby. Also not been loading any tv planner or what’s up next for weeks. The box is over 7 years old. Think a technician would be helpful

  • LiamFitzy9 Liam Fitzpatrick (@LiamFitzy9) reported from Liverpool, England

    @sky box has just gone off, rang them said I need to get an engineer out £65, and boxes need upgrades another £7 a month. Told them I’ll just cancel it, but I can’t do that over the phone. Just had to buy a £10 day pass on now tv for the boxing @virginmedia see ya Monday

  • gordonturner71 Gordon Turner (@gordonturner71) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia Your customer service is shit and thankyou for destroying my driveway, Iam sorry I took out my broadband with you now. Cant wait till it finishes.

  • Nathann_B Nathan Booth (@Nathann_B) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia how can I put a complaint in about poor customer service and about a technician appointment being cancelled without being told

  • Samanth32789588 #hellomynameis Samantha Miller (@Samanth32789588) reported from Liverpool, England

  • harrietn_x Harriet (@harrietn_x) reported

    @virginmedia hi. We’ve accidentally damaged our tv box when decorating and it’s broken. What would be the charge for a replacement box please?

  • HandaPanda1303 Nikhil Handa (@HandaPanda1303) reported

    @virginmedia I've tried all of that. I've also tried running the hub 3 in modem mode and using ethernet, the problem still persists. I've tried just about everything to confirm it is not a problem I can do anything about, only you can.

  • DictatorDono Michael Dono (@DictatorDono) reported

    @virginmedia Instead those on the phone are adamant it's a loose cable when it's definitely a failing component in the box by all indications - the way they talked down to me when I have a degree in computer science is...frustrating

  • Harry_Battles Battlesey (@Harry_Battles) reported

    Hey @virginmedia I have to cancel my stream for the 12th time this month. My internet is unusable. I've had to buy more data to accommodate for frequent outages to allow me to work from home. This isn't acceptable, I raised a complaint to which got a bot answer. PLEASE HELP ME.

  • Mr_Fwibble David Morris (@Mr_Fwibble) reported

    @virginmedia Hilarious trying to move house, 2 days of online chats and still no where. @skytv a quick 5 minute call and TV move was arranged. World's apart customer service.

  • Laurella34 Laurelle (@Laurella34) reported

    @virginmedia Are you guys aware of the issue? I’ve seen lots of people messaging about this

  • rvyfvbhtvbhg rvyfvbhtvbhg (@rvyfvbhtvbhg) reported

    @virginmedia @planet_dan Yo internet down SE1 !!

  • slapehtfonaf1on no1fanofthepals (@slapehtfonaf1on) reported

    tbh my bad interaction with virgin media employees about the channel 4 subtitle screen has kind of put me off

  • kierangreeno Kieran Green (@kierangreeno) reported

    @virginmedia It is down for both wireless and wired devices. We only have broadband with you and there are no issues in our local area

  • jagdodd James Dodd (@jagdodd) reported

    @virginmedia I just received this message whilst chatting to one of your customer service experts. Is it a joke? "Hi James. I am about to take my scheduled dinner to grab something to eat, its only 15 minutes and then I will be right back with you James"
