  • Jmiragliotta89 JMiragliotta (@Jmiragliotta89) reported from Waltham Abbey, England

    @virginmedia @JMiragliotta Yes! You’re repairing a damaged cable and have been for the past 3 days now. No TV, No broadband, fantastic service for £111 a month 👍🏻

    @virginmedia this outage has lasted since 4 Aug. Seriously?? I’ve been given 5 different dates for resolution. How is any company this bad?? Are you trying to be terrible? I cannot work here.

    @virginmedia I need someone to call me and I have raised yet another complaint on the website this is the 4th complaint with no response C-0609211914

  • N16Breda N16Breda #VaccinesWork (@N16Breda) reported from Hackney, England

    @ontvnow @virginmedia I had webchat w customer service adviser this morning @ontvnow who confirmed my email account was locked - but said the forms he normally uses to unlock accounts were not working so has passed the issue on to next line support....😐

  • N16Breda N16Breda #VaccinesWork (@N16Breda) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia No. This problem has happened intermittently in the past & it's always been a server access issue on your side.

  • Jmiragliotta89 JMiragliotta (@Jmiragliotta89) reported from Waltham Abbey, England

    @ThreeUKSupport I appreciate that but I’m currently in a position where @virginmedia are useless and unable to fix cables and you now working on masts meaning I can’t even use my phone network. So between both multi million pound companies you’re screwing me royally!!

  • KarimHarbott Karim Harbott (@KarimHarbott) reported from Enfield Lock, England

    @virginmedia Yes. I’m unhappy with 4 weeks of outages. Who wouldn’t be? Customer service is of course closed. But thanks for the platitudes. They have helped a lot. @richardbranson you’re better than this.

  • eatcheeselouise MarshmallowMedia (@eatcheeselouise) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia You’re not working hard to get this fixed… nothing has been fixed in nearly 3 months

  • johnvasili1 VAS (@johnvasili1) reported from Hertfordshire, England

    @virginmedia Again why send me a bill when I'm no longer a customer

  • jamesenjoyrelax EnjoyRelax Studio (@jamesenjoyrelax) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @virginmedia Router is downstairs but before I’ve restarted it the lights are blinking as if it’s been restarted already. No wired connections in the house and no cable to check tbh - any ideas on the issue?

  • richardpettet Richard Pettet (@richardpettet) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia And the reset password page doesn't work either. Same issue. I've seen others reporting this.

  • StevenCudd2 Steve (@StevenCudd2) reported from Hoddesdon, England

    @virginmedia So after getting an engineer visit finally today, comes, says fixed, 10mins later broadbanddrops again. Told he will be back in 30mins, 2 hours later nothing. Now on 4th call to customer service getting cut off and no one knows what they are doing! Appalling service!

  • clairevnugent Claire Nugent (@clairevnugent) reported from Romford, England

    And on top of this I’ve been on a chat to complain about what happened and I’ve been made to wait over an hour for a wait time of “fifteen minutes”. This is a paid service! Never use virgin media for broadband, I’m fuming 😤

  • KarimHarbott Karim Harbott (@KarimHarbott) reported from Enfield Lock, England

    @virginmedia No, there’s one issue. Doing things on the cheap.

  • Jmiragliotta89 JMiragliotta (@Jmiragliotta89) reported from Waltham Abbey, England

    It’s bonkers that the whole district of EN9 could have an outage of @virginmedia for 5 days and because I didn’t call and log it I’m not entitled to compensation , I’m taking my £111 a month and spending it elsewhere!

  • MurrayAlanLee DREAMVIEW ESTATES (@MurrayAlanLee) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia Yes still v much a customer. It’s been sorted thanks. PW was randomly corrupted . Now changed

    @virginmedia No member of the team has been along and I’m still none the wiser! This is very disappointing service considering what I pay you each month

  • IanSlater1990 Ian Slater (@IanSlater1990) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia when I call the support line number, the pre recorded message says there's a known issue in the area and engineers are working on it but then goes on to say run tests - no issues. App lists no issues so what is it?

  • petewylie Pete Wylie is WAH!🌟 (@petewylie) reported

    @chapoiron @virginmedia That’s where the problems started!🤬

  • neilredmondking Neil Redmond-King (@neilredmondking) reported

    @virginmedia It says there is not outage - as it has the whole time!

  • SiZatMac Si (@SiZatMac) reported

    @virginmedia I wouldn't be as unhappy if you customer service called me and sorted out my sim so we could get online as you (VM) state. Or had a customer service team that could actually provide a decent service. #virginmedia #virginmediadown #terriblecustomerservice

  • Utd_4_eva United forever (@Utd_4_eva) reported

    @virginmedia Yep done that just says there’s issues doesn’t say what your doing about it or how long you expect it to go on for By the way this is the 7th time this year I’ve had to call you lot up I get the same poor service everytime I think it’s time @Ofcom get a complaint

  • SandraJCoulter Sandra Coulter (she/hers) (@SandraJCoulter) reported

    @virginmedia The service drops out daily, connection is very slow. Poor to no coverage upstairs. We’re a busy family of five which is why we upgraded to make sure we had a service that could cope. And it can’t!
