    @virginmedia Last time, our wifi was down for over a week. I spoke to an agent on the phone who was utterly useless. You never offer any solutions. I’m starting to think that the only way for you to take any action is if I cancel my DD.

  • TinaReading
    TinaReadingEditor (@TinaReading) reported from Amersham, England

    @virginmedia No Internet for 48 hrs and can't work, will you be crediting customers for lack of service?

  • IstvanOFatyol
    Oliver Fatyol (@IstvanOFatyol) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia Since w/c 22Aug my wife and I continuously keep checking the service status which gets updated and deadline pushed back. Nobody with virgin has broadband or TV for over 3 weeks now without explanation or a decent update

  • PaulswainDJ
    Paul Swain (@PaulswainDJ) reported from Kings Langley, England

    @virginmedia I’ve given up for tonight. I’m struggling to deal with a company that has lied on record and taken money wrongfully out of my account. @MartinSLewis help!

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

    @virginmedia …and now download speed is 50-70 mbps as opposed to 500 mbps + before the incident (hard wired to router not over Wi-Fi). Please can you look into this?

  • Fatty_Koo91

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

  • paulstevenlewis
    Paul Lewis (@paulstevenlewis) reported from Mill Hill East, England

    @virginmedia So you cancel the service months if not years before the 4G replacement is a really extensive alternative, while increasing your prices and telling customers “sorry, but that’s tough”. I understand your team is just at the sharp end dealing with flack, but that’s really bad of VM

  • browngaybitch
    BuG$y (@browngaybitch) reported from Harrow Weald, England

    Absolutely rubbish customer service from @virginmedia @VirginMedia_TV @VirginMediaCorp waiting for over 2 hours, first call the advisor hung up after I asked to speak to his manager and the second advisor CANNOT give me a reference to the call or let me speak to a manager

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia @dpjohnston10 Complaints procedure is non existent. If you phone, promised call back never happens, webform complaint doesn’t work and hasn’t since at least 28/09. Sent letter 3 wks ago - no response, despite website saying response within 48 hours. Ombudsman here we come.

  • Gosbo68
    Grant Osborn (@Gosbo68) reported from Northaw and Cuffley, England

    @Bazza_68 @virginmedia Up. Then down again. That’s the 4th time today.

  • thefitebegins
    jrd1982 (@thefitebegins) reported from Hillingdon, England

    @virginmedia Yet again Virgin Media is down and yes I have tried the checker. Why are services with VM constantly going down across the UK?

  • david_renty
    David Renton (@david_renty) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia bit of a pain that if you want to cancel a new connection on a weekend then the first line cancellation don't seem to know you can't do this...

  • LinkedinMac
    Mac Laubscher (@LinkedinMac) reported from Bushey Heath, England

    @virginmedia any idea why services are down across the board in WD23 postcode area?

  • morish1
    maureen robert (@morish1) reported from Hillingdon, England

    @virginmedia This is false advertising. My broadband goes off more than it’s on and then it is so slow. I have lost count on the times I have called the help line. I have rebooted routinely, it works for a while then off again. I have had enough now as enough is enough!!!

  • _Brady1_
    🆎 (@_Brady1_) reported from London Colney, England

    @virginmedia Why are my sky sports channels not working but others are , getting error CS2004 . I’ve reset the box numerous times and checked the cables .. on my other box in another room all channels working fine ??

    @virginmedia @LutzSchueler please help me here i am an O2 monthly paying customer , I’ve had a virgin email address for over 23 years and they just closed it no notice , or warnings and your team hides behind a policy that didn’t exist when i first got my virgin email address

  • rh_theproject
    Ross Harvey aka The Project (@rh_theproject) reported from Hillingdon, England

    @virginmedia Not ******* good enough ,you charge me the earth promising the best Gig 1 and I have had problems ever since taking that upgrade ,

  • StephenCavinder
    Steve Cavinder (@StephenCavinder) reported from Bricket Wood, England

    @virginmedia do you think it’s acceptable for a customer to be waiting for more than 20 minutes (and still waiting) for one of your agents to answer the phone? #justasking

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

    @virginmedia Good morning, This is the 3rd day with no broadband. You have conflicting messages as to whether there is an issue or not, and whether it has been fixed or not. I have been unable to speak to anyone or log a call out. Can someone please help

    @youfibre After being with Virgin Media / Diamond Cable / NTL for over 3 decades.. I was worried about switching. Well, I made the switch. 1000mb Up 1000mb Down £25 for a 12 month period. Zero downtime as I post. AMAZING. Keep this up. TOP TOP Service Provider.

  • EnzoFerro2023
    Enzo Ferro (@EnzoFerro2023) reported

    @MichelleBeckett @SkyUK @VodafoneUK Very sorry for your loss. I left virgin media a few years back after very poor service and I am hearing lots of examples recently of why I will never return.

    @virginmedia @fluffybubbles73 Offcom should fine them again. I left them years ago terrible company

  • LostPigeonPost
    Flossie Smith (@LostPigeonPost) reported

    @Stsantek @virginmedia I can’t wait to leave Virgin but my husband can’t face the thought of having to ditch his Blue Yonder email address. It took me a week to switch mine and I will never say another good eord about Virgin again. It’s beyond hideous.

    @zahid_ramzan @virginmedia Mines been down since yesterday and says will be fixed by Monday day. Outrageous!!!

  • smithco76
    Colin Smith (@smithco76) reported

    @MichelleBeckett @SkyUK @VodafoneUK Same experience when my father died in September. Everyone was fantastic. Insurance, banks, utilities. Everything dealt with, no dramas & gave us plenty room & time to get paperwork. Virginmedia were horrible. Forced my mum to take out another contract before they’d close my dads

  • VirginMediaNews
    Virgin Media News (@VirginMediaNews) reported

    At least 11 people are dead and 19 remain missing after Spain’s worst wildfire in more than two decades. Tourists, some from the UK, are feared to be among those who have died. Around 150 firefighters are battling the blaze, with at least 1,000 residents evacuated. Several victims were reportedly found inside burnt-out vehicles. More on Virgin Media PLAY. #VMNews

    @Stsantek @virginmedia Tell them your moving address they will cancel it without charges

  • lambypies
    SJL (@lambypies) reported

    @Stsantek @virginmedia Yeap, happened to me too. I asked on the phone if there was any evidence of this "Contract" The call handler said point blank it didn't matter. The really annoying thing is the actual broadband is really good. Fast, reliable and only the odd day down for maintenance.

    @ClientsSupTech @missLucy127 Be careful. X is awash with accounts claiming to represent big companies. Only a profile pic given, no website quoted. DM supposedly to identify a customer may in fact be phishing for personal details. If @virginmedia cared they would report such accounts, get them closed down.
