    @virginmedia Its a fault in the area, I have been given a fix time of 9am on the 19th for the landline and broadband, now my tv has gone down as well

    @virginmedia Finally sent letter on 28 September and on checking my account realised you’ve got wrong email address attached to complaint file. Funnily enough you have correct email address for sending bills. 3/

    @virginmedia WiFi is an absolute total **** of a service! Reliable WiFi With the hub 5 bullshit! Should be thrown out of the window! No WiFi /service in HP2!

    @virginmedia Is this how you treat your ‘priority customers?’ During a cost of living crisis, we have chosen to stay with you, yet you can’t pull your finger out to look after your customers. I work from home but can’t fully use the service I’m paying for due to your incompetence.

    Sid M (@smahes4) reported from Chesham Bois, England

    @virginmedia The reason given to us that you don’t want to put extra 10mtr cable to service 3 properties. That’s a shame on you and a classic lie that you say on your advert regarding coverage @richardbranson @Ofcom

  • SMillbery
    Spencer Millbery (@SMillbery) reported from Harrow Weald, England

    @virginmedia Yes, I’ve done all these. Very frustrating as I only had a new super hub and cabling to house installed 2 weeks ago. Never had such intermittent service in 20 years of using virgin.

  • Gosbo68

    @virginmedia Wi-Fi still down.

  • NLFG
    Nick Chainey 💙 (@NLFG) reported from Hemel Hempstead, England

    @virginmedia I've tried both of those. I was going to restart the router and see if that made any difference. Appreciate the help 👍🏼

  • angelstorm13
    Ella A Cutler (@angelstorm13) reported from Welwyn Hatfield, England

    And it's down again. #virginmedia

  • DrewSalisbury5
    Drew Salisbury (@DrewSalisbury5) reported from Barnet, England

    [1] @virginmedia I have not had access to WiFi for a couple of days now. I have checked the cables, rebooted the Hub and run the final diagnostic tests several times. Still nothing. On the one hand, your system tells me that there is a wider broadband issue in the area and […]

    ᒍᗩᑎE (@gemmak500) reported from Chesham Bois, England

    @virginmedia There is no link. No one appears to know what’s going on and there is no ownership or continuity of help. As the paying customer we are supposed to just wait, lose business and accept the situation.

  • Mrspdyer
    Peggy Dyer (@Mrspdyer) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia No, I’m trying to find out the status of my complaint received by Virgin on 30 September. I’ve had zero communication or acknowledgment of it.

  • SMillbery
    Spencer Millbery (@SMillbery) reported from Harrow Weald, England

    @virginmedia Service page says no issues.

  • yessibelloperez
    Yessi Bello-Perez (@yessibelloperez) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia Yep, not good enough. What’s the issue? Why does it keep happening and what are you doing about it? And how are you compensating customers?

  • ExtremePCUK
    ≡xtr≡m≡pcuk 🔜 #i69 🤟 (@ExtremePCUK) reported from Hillingdon, England

    @virginmedia ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE SERVICE! I’ve worked with major computer and ISP’s over my time but by far Virgin Media is the worst! I pay £111 a month and not one person can help. Intermittent internet for a month but they say just wait another week it may be back on!

  • stephen_j_moran
    Stephen Moran (@stephen_j_moran) reported from Harrow Weald, England

    And another day has gone by with no landline service from #virginmedia in this part of Harrow HA1 and still the same recorded message saying they've found the problem and are working on it. @virginmedia

  • Johnboy82903002
    John carroll (@Johnboy82903002) reported from Brentford, England

    @virginmedia I have done, but there is nowhere to report a total outage, despite the message, and no estimated time. I have no landline or broadband, and haven't for 2 days

  • paulusthegrey
    Paul Simmonds (@paulusthegrey) reported from Borehamwood, England

    @virginmedia I think I may have an idea what’s happened to your service in #borehamwood It looks like a kerbside box has been totalled by a drunk driver.

  • MSiewniak
    Michal Siewniak (@MSiewniak) reported from Welwyn Garden City, England

    Dear @virginmedia & @VirginMediaCC A day to forget, wasn’t it? All day problems with my internet connections. Thousands of people affected. In my case, I needed the internet to work and it seems like that the issue was resolved this afternoon. How can I claim compensation?

  • yessibelloperez
    Yessi Bello-Perez (@yessibelloperez) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia Thanks, John. No they didn’t confirm. All they said was that the issue *might* be fixed by August 2nd, which as you can imagine is far from ideal. Meanwhile, I’m also being charged a full month despite not having a reliable connection for over a week.

    @virginmedia @TheAFC0522 Yeah what if I want to watch them on my big TV that I bought to watch my virgin media service on?

  • andy_nicks60
    Andy Nicholls 🫧⚒️✝️ (@andy_nicks60) reported

    Well @virginmedia certainly have great customer service people that just feed you absolute lies about not stocking 360 boxes anymore then when they lose the argument they say you can’t have one because you’re not a new customer, and promptly end the conversation.

    @sandspope @virginmedia Useless company. Awful customer experience

  • tilalx
    Tilal Manzoor (@tilalx) reported

    Hi @virginmedia, I've been without Internet & Landline services for 5 days, everyday am assured someone is fixing the service. Nobody comes, help desk have no information where the engineer is or why they don't show; Everyday I am told to be patient. Pls remedy this failure

  • nickholding01
    Nick68 (@nickholding01) reported

    @virginmedia Hello @virginmedia I dont think it's unreasonable to ask about a timescale for a fix and if compensation will be offered. It is however rude to ignore people

  • CliveR39
    CliveR (@CliveR39) reported

    @virginmedia In this digital era how long will this fix take to apply? I want to watch the sport on the TV screen NOT on computer or mobile device!

  • piacapa
    Cheryl Brown (@piacapa) reported

    @virginmedia awful service. Still waiting for my tech engineer to arrive - time given by a Virgin 12-4pm. Now told another engineer will be with me ‘shortly’ but no time given! Seriously considering switching to BT

  • RJAldous1
    Richard Aldous 🍊 (@RJAldous1) reported

    Hey @virginmedia how long does it take to sort out a connection issue as my broadband and tv went down about 14:00 and still just getting a flashing red light on my router (yes I reported it) these days it’s hard to do anything without internet access! 😡

  • LOCthedreamer2
    Luke O' Connor (@LOCthedreamer2) reported

    It's a scandal that these media companies spend your money in order to try and influence how you think. Virgin Media received 3 million euro worth of state grants from Coimisiún na Meain last year. They would never think of doing a documentary on how immigration has negatively impacted the economy or society, which is why it is so galling to see them propagandise the immigration scam in Ireland. #HowIrelandWorks
