  • spandya1
    Sandeep Pandya (@spandya1) reported from Croxley Green, England

    @virginmedia An engineer came today. Issue resolved. If you remember I told you that it was highly probable that work being performed at a cabinet on our street may have resulted in our issue. I also told your telephone support team. That’s exactly what had happened. Appalling service.

  • 1SLToo
    Andy (@1SLToo) reported from Rickmansworth, England

    Merry Christmas to all at @virginmedia who have left all of us in WD3 area with no TV or Internet for over a week (predicted) and probably longer over the entire festive period, moving to sky in the new year due to your continuing rubbish service and customer service

  • Mustxkim
    Mustakim. (@Mustxkim) reported from Brentford, England

    @virginmedia Wi-Fi is SO BAD. I’ve check service status online it says it’s fine but I hasn’t been working for 2 hours now. Wtf is you lot doing. It’s been disturbing for weeks now too.

  • jeannesmith1
    jeanne smith (@jeannesmith1) reported from Hillingdon, England

    @virginmedia will lose my money as a loyal customer of 20 years standing, by slapping a 120% rise on my next contract due to start in November! Who else has seen such a massive percentage rise?

  • TimmyLDN
    🦒🤓TimmyLDN🙄🇬🇧🇪🇺🇺🇦🏳️‍🌈🦒 (@TimmyLDN) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia Yes at £37 when as a new customer I could get it for £25. I am happy to stick at the £32 but you are not willing to match.

  • EnriqueGuadiz
    Enrique Guadiz (@EnriqueGuadiz) reported from Hemel Hempstead, England

    @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 can you confirm if there's an outage in my area (area code 21)?

  • Fatty_Koo91
    Bhaven Dusara (@Fatty_Koo91) reported from Harrow Weald, England

    How can it be called Virgin Media when it goes down so much??? #VirginMediaDown

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

    @virginmedia Also raised it in web complaint form which didn’t work. Web complaint form hasn’t worked for 2 months. Then sent letter and still no response. 2/

  • 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

  • manan2661
    Manan (@manan2661) reported from Barnet, England

    Hi @virginmedia . My internet has just completely stopped working today and I have restarted my router number out times today without any luck. Can you please help?

  • gashead
    Alistair 🏴‍☠️ Burns (@gashead) reported from Hatfield, England

    Used to tell my colleagues on @virginmedia to switch to @BT to overcome reliability issues. Moved house and little choice to pick Virgin. No internet or TV for 7 days, fix due by 1pm today. Queried at 1.30pm and 6.30pm, assured it would be today, told to relax. Frankie says BS.

  • Bhavinmaru2020
    Bhavin (@Bhavinmaru2020) reported from Hillingdon, England

    @virginmedia I am loosing signal intermittently. Not great!

  • spandya1
    Sandeep Pandya (@spandya1) reported from Watford District, England

    Called @virginmedia , now a technician booked. Outages are now common, there’s little communication from @virginmedia on actual status, even the service status page is usually out of date and the call centre staff admitted to me they don’t know what’s going on.

  • 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!

  • PcPresenter
    PCPresenter (@PcPresenter) reported from Hemel Hempstead, England

    @virginmedia Any chance you can DM me about an issue? Trying to find an avenue to contact you through the website is shockingly ****. What's the point of having an option to contact when it's impossible to find it??

  • gemmak500
    ᒍᗩᑎE (@gemmak500) reported from Chesham Bois, England

    @virginmedia To be honest you probably can’t, I’ve been this route often previously and nothing changes. Made to jump thru the same basic hoops time & again by staff members who don’t understand the systems, it’s a perpetual, frustrating loop. Still my service is dreadful.

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

    @virginmedia I’ve had REALLY bad connectivity all week. Please can you help? Have reset device to little avail. Ty

  • 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 […]

  • 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.

    Sonny George (@SonnyGeorgeGB) reported

    @WeAreOpenreach So now another week goes by where my tenant has no broadband. I’ve also had the same issue with another flat in own in the same block where the engineer unplugged the line to that one and plugged into another. It’s constant, fix the issues otherwise I’ll move to @virginmedia

  • paul_k_toner
    Paul Toner (@paul_k_toner) reported

    @virginmedia what’s the issue in G72 area? Was supposed to be fixed overnight and now set to be out all day?

  • xueshang
    Tweetledumb (@xueshang) reported

    @libertyglobal please ask @virginmedia why they sent me a new TB box without any remote to control it. (Finally they say will send one to reach me "in 5 business days" - keep paying for the service throughout this time!)

  • RaghallaighJ
    Seán Ó Raghallaigh (@RaghallaighJ) reported

    this split screen bullshit of showing ads during live games on Virgin Media is awful

  • Hesaga_
    Hesaga (@Hesaga_) reported

    @TOBZYNWA @sweenus987 @Thafnine YouTube doesn't really count for live yet. but it'll be the same has having sky in the uk or virgin media and never watching bbc but still having to pay for tv licence because the option is there to watch it so you need to pay.

  • waughzone
    Duncan Waugh (@waughzone) reported

    @virginmedia No change. Service still intermittent at best.

  • CDPL1
    Chris L (@CDPL1) reported

    @virginmedia what a joke of a company. I need my broadband point moved. Cable through the frame of my front door will be cut next week when a new door is installed. I will be without a service until 13th July which is the earliest an engineer can attend.

  • stoneycatt
    Stoneycat ≅ 🏳️‍🌈💚🏳️‍⚧️ (@stoneycatt) reported

    @virginmedia would you be able to recover my parents landline number if we cancel the contract and swap to you? It appears @youfibre have disconnected the landline number and after 2 days we've had no further information. I've no confidence @youfibre can/will resolve it.

  • Some_Nick1976
    Some-Nick1976 (@Some_Nick1976) reported

    @virginmedia It happens almost every evening from around 8pm to 9.30pm. It is also quite poor on a Sunday afternoon for a number of hours.

    I guess @virginmedia hardware can't handle a little rain? No wonder they go down so much in Scotland -_-
