    @Michaelallen_99 @philell21 @virginmedia Because the stupid rules say that if there’s a disruption to your services (over a specified amount of time), you’re legally entitled to compensation, but ONLY if you contact them to notify them that you specifically are effected, if you don’t they’re not obligated

  • carol_dd6 Carol Dickinson (@carol_dd6) reported from Dudley, England

    Gutted that I’ve renewed my mobile contract with @virginmedia I don’t think I’ve ever had such bad customer service before. I’m still waiting for transcripts from my chats yesterday to complain to the Ombudsman about them. I will not be renewing with them again!

  • stumccullagh Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia 45 mins on hold then cut off over 100 quid a month TV not working yet again!

  • FuryZhil Dave (@FuryZhil) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia I -think- my services are down due to maintenance in my area. I received a text from you apparently but no email or letter. Any news on how long this is?

  • carol_dd6 Carol Dickinson (@carol_dd6) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia Another lie I was told then! Apparently they were sending transcripts from 2 online chats yesterday and 1 from today. I’m really disappointed with Virgin, I expect better customer service from such a big company.

  • PhatSuppliUK PhatSuppliUK (@PhatSuppliUK) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @virginmedia Wow and your team just hung up on me as well Wow shocking behaviour How can I expand on an issue you are meant to look into?you told us it was a cable issue, you said you'd send someone to fix it You never did I'm sick of broken internet

  • SteveWa13630733 Steve Walters (@SteveWa13630733) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @virginmedia @matty_gilbert94 Can’t check service status page - that is down too

  • nickywolko Nicky Rowe (@nickywolko) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia my new tv box has arrived today and I can’t use it as our area is still down. Our broadband was down yesterday. At least it’s only the tv today it’s not as if we are without power or heating like some parts of the country. Customer services were helpful

  • gingerandnuts Ginger and Nuts (@gingerandnuts) reported from Brownhills, England

    Well @virginmedia you have let so many people down with no apology or update. Disgraceful.

  • pdtathome paul taylor (@pdtathome) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia I have a persistent broadband issue and can't contact customer support via the web site #help

  • Tommm_Currie LOLZ N TING (@Tommm_Currie) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia 6mbps download speed at the moment when ive upgraded to 350mbps... this is ridiculous, constant problems and advertising as the fasted.. and being told on your website that I need to wait 24 hours before you'll even look into booking an engineer..

  • nickywolko Nicky Rowe (@nickywolko) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia new tv box Friday as mentioned before didn’t work Friday started working yesterday now today it’s off again! Done the status check says no problems said box was on standby. I did get a flicker of a program for less than a minute then no signal.

  • willcooling Will Cooling (@willcooling) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia your TV Go App doesn't ******* work. Won't accept my login. Won't let me change it. Won't let me register a new account. ******* joke

  • s_badruddin Sana Parkar (@s_badruddin) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia why is your box down? Why doesn’t any of your apps load? E.g. Amazon Prime? 😑

  • Miss_Pumpkin666 Caroline (@Miss_Pumpkin666) reported from Birmingham, England

    @sahinbrum @virginmedia I agree that their compensation policy is bs, I’ve found when I’ve had any outage affect me, they patch it quickly so the service gets intermittent while they work on a full fix, that way they don’t have to compensate, even if service drops out every couple minutes. BS really

  • SummayahMuslima For my Family🖤 (@SummayahMuslima) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @virginmedia the Internet this covid lockdown xmas holiday has been appalling, service is terrible @VMSolutions_

  • adtatton Andrew Tatton 🔰 #GlazersOut 🔰 (@adtatton) reported from Wythall, England

    @virginmedia poor doesn’t come anywhere near the description needed for the service you provide for a long term customer who simply needs the OLD Superhub 2ac router replacing. I simply need a replacement sent quickly but must wait for an engineer on Tuesday 4th January.

  • measlewolf Steve Lees (@measlewolf) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia do you have a known issue with the sports channels? They aren’t working and the phone-line cuts me out off.

  • anna_newbold AnnaBluez 🌧 (@anna_newbold) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia what's up? No TV or telephone line & your website & customer services have crashed Have you paid your bill? #virginmedia

  • karriecheer ♥ Karina Aura ♥ (@karriecheer) reported from West Bromwich, England

    Virgin media has been down since this morning what a joke

  • Gulczas1982 Marcin Goralczyk (@Gulczas1982) reported

    @virginmedia what is happening with your broadband?! I haven’t been anle to use internet properly for a month already! It is constantly off and on, no stable connection at all. I am working from home and can’t work like this! Do something about it or let me cancel my contract

  • Ben_Cartwrigh15 Ben Cartwright (@Ben_Cartwrigh15) reported

    @virginmedia Ongoing issues with the wifi intermittent nothing connects. Called yesterday to get help, was told someone would call back. No one did. Called this morning, very little help on the phone other than booking a technician in for Wednesday. We work from home. No wifi for 6 days

  • tim1webber Tim Webber (@tim1webber) reported

    @JacquiOatley @virginmedia @skytv Yep, honestly it’s a joke how they treat their customers. Be ready for them to still try charging you multiple times after the account is closed as well.

  • simurray0 Simon Murray (@simurray0) reported

    @virginmedia still no fix on the issue of no broadband at N4. Can you provide more of an update, rather than continually just pushing back the date you hope to fix it by? How long does it need to be off before I can just cancel the contract?

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

    @virginmedia Was Thursday or Friday but you never call me back when you say you will, so I'm not confident it will be completed unless I keep chasing it up.

  • KateronaBiscuit The real Kate (@KateronaBiscuit) reported

    @Bluesmachine100 @JimSterling @virginmedia The Wi-Fi is crap. The router is garbage. I used those plug things because in a tiny terraced house the Wi-Fi quits at the top of the stairs.

  • sjbarr500 🆂🆃🆄🅰🆁🆃 (@sjbarr500) reported

    @virginmedia Yes. They gave me a virgin phone number to call. It simply tells me you're aware of an issue and to hold to talk to someone. As expected, if you hold you end up in an infinite wait for nothing 🙄

  • NavaronePage69 Lilzura (@NavaronePage69) reported

    @JimSterling @virginmedia Virgin are absolutely worthless. Plusnet are surprisingly good. Never go with three mobile tho

  • Bluesmachine100 Bluesmachine100🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿💙 (@Bluesmachine100) reported

    @JimSterling @virginmedia On the upside you won’t have to put up with their appalling WiFi. I’ve got a 1gbps line and via WiFi it’s 167-300mb. BT Openreach are upgrading their network to support 1gbps so might be worth looking into an ISP using their infrastructure.

  • D4C_Trice Trice (@D4C_Trice) reported

    @JimSterling @virginmedia Virgin have an abysmal customer service. I had a friend that had his Internet cut off every month because they were too stupid to accept payment from his bank account.
