  David Jones (@davidbirkdale) reported 2 minutes ago from Southport, England

  Very poor service from @virginmedia for a friend of mine in the Stockport area. No TV now due to failure of upgrade, engineer can only go on Tuesday. Better off with Sky!

• 
  Kevin Saunderson* (@kevsauno) reported 3 minutes ago from Liverpool, England

  @virginmedia hello, issues with TV and WiFi in Liverpool L12 area this morning. No issues showing on the app. Tried all the usual stuff but still no connection.

• 
  Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported 11 minutes ago from St Helens, England

  @virginmedia 3 x engineer visits, each time telling me there’s a blockage. Why does nobody fix it? I can’t even get through to cancel my services and get a refund for the direct debits I’ve paid when I’ve had zero service.

  Lindz Devine (@LindzDDub) reported 12 minutes ago from Wigan, England

  @virginmedia I have to say your Internet connection is ridiculous... for months on end, it's been shocking. I'm sick and tired of resetting my hub, I shouldn't be having this issue. Never had so much issue for the years I've had you and now, the past 6 months, I'm paying monies…

• 
  Lesley Murray (@les_murray71) reported 12 minutes ago from Wallasey, England

  James (@jgrailpics) reported 15 minutes ago from Liverpool, England

  Completely pathetic useless company @virginmedia Every single day there's some sort of problem EVERY SINGLE DAY Can't wait til this contracts over, after that in a bit useless crap

• 
  Tom Rushton (@tomrushton88) reported 15 minutes ago from Haydock, England

  @virginmedia And the last complaint I raised over this got cancelled because it didn't have any details to the complaint even though all the messages are there to see through your WhatsApp service but the retentions team can't see that or deal with the complaint or help in anyway way

  Lesley Murray (@les_murray71) reported 21 minutes ago from Wallasey, England

  @virginmedia Yes got the update thanks but not helpful receiving a text to say issue resolved, service has been off for 14 hours now, any background to reason why? Its a massive area to be out with no explanation

• 
  Ray Waring (@RayWaring) reported 24 minutes ago 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?

• 
  Ndawana Youngson (@NdawanaY) reported 24 minutes ago from Liverpool, England

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

• 
  Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported 28 minutes ago 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.

• 
  Emma (@EmmaZhaan64) reported 33 minutes ago from Roby, England

  @virginmedia according to your representative my wifi is working perfectly and I don’t have any issues! That’s a bit odd considering I no service what so ever!

  Ian Hawksey (@ShanklyBob77) reported 39 minutes ago from Aintree Village, England

  Absolute nightmare trying to watch @SkySportsF1 on my phone because of how poor @virginmedia are especially since merging with @o2, used to just put email and password in, now going around in circles with same message asking me to verify email link and switch, very poor practice.

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

•

  @virginmedia Mine has just gone down now. I can’t ring via the virgin phone because the phone is connected to the hub.

  Tom Rushton (@tomrushton88) reported 48 minutes ago from Haydock, England

• 
  Mark Langshaw (@MarkLangshaw) reported 52 minutes ago from Liverpool, England

  @virginmedia Hello, my broadband was supposed to be installed on 6th Sept but your engineer only did half a job and ****** off. When I call up to find out when you're coming back to finish my installation, I can't get a straight answer and nobody calls me back! Shite service!

  Stephen Maddock (@stephenm68) reported 7 minutes ago

  In the meantime the @virginmedia ‘supervisor’ whom I waited 90 mins to talk to on Tues night, & who promised to escalate our outage to engineering so I could have SOME INFORMATION, has of course not been in touch Just like the other supervisor who made the same promise last week

• 
  Tessa Segal (@tessasegal) reported 7 minutes ago

  @CommunityFibre another flat in our building has had CFibre installed, technician back today. Everybody else’s @virginmedia now not working- can you advise what we can do?!

• 
  🇬🇧 Andy🇬🇧 (@4peterborough) reported 8 minutes ago

  @virginmedia What’s the point? Everyone is suffering the same problem. I’m sure if you check on social media you see people do not like this function

• 
  G C (@cluer_graham) reported 8 minutes ago

  @GlasgowSaint @Hamishbutter @virginmedia Was given an upgrade with our tv package & latest wi fi .Nothing but trouble , dreading the call to report a problem on our 2nd box.

  Gary Adams (@GazzaAdams) reported 9 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I need this escalated as a formal complaint regarding fault **F012421201**, because the information Virgin Media is providing has now become demonstrably contradictory. At **08:01 today, 20 August**, Virgin Media told me: “Our engineer is on site and they're working to fix the problem.” The estimated repair time given was **18:00 today**. At **15:27 today**, after I have been without service for most of the day, Virgin Media has now told me: “We have identified the problem and an engineer is on their way.” The estimated repair time has also been moved to **14:10 tomorrow, 21 August**. These statements cannot both accurately describe the progress of the same fault. An engineer who was already **on site and working on the problem at 08:01** cannot subsequently be **“on their way” at 15:27** without some explanation. I fully understand that a complex network fault may take longer to repair than initially anticipated, and that estimated restoration times can change. That is not my complaint. My complaint is that Virgin Media is repeatedly providing contradictory factual information about the status of the repair, while I remain without the service I am paying for. I consequently have no confidence in the estimated restoration times being provided. Please therefore: 1. **Log this as a formal complaint and provide me with the complaint reference.** 2. Confirm the actual current status of fault **F012421201**, rather than repeating the automated status information. 3. Explain how an engineer could be reported as on site and working at 08:01 but “on their way” at 15:27. 4. Confirm when the outage affecting my service officially began and that the full period of loss of service has been recorded against my account. 5. Confirm what automatic compensation I will be entitled to for the complete loss of service, where applicable. I have retained screenshots of the outage updates and their timestamps. Please respond to the specific points above rather than sending me another automated repair estimate.

  @virginmedia Awful timing for a software update of @SkySports All over the weekend 🙄 Hope there is going to be some reduction in my bill?
