    @virginmedia Other than checking the plugs and the cable connections - your light indication service doesn’t work.. it made me run and run and run diagnostics and engineers in 3/4 days isn’t good enough - still didn’t repost any fault even saying the internet wasn’t working.. RUBBISH

  • HBP_Surgery_CHS Ben Banerjee (@HBP_Surgery_CHS) reported from Walker Gate, England

    Never ceases to amaze how poor @virginmedia is. Successive errors including appalling dropping out broadband. Now transferring to BT today and they stop internet last night despite specifically saying I wanted no gap in service. Glad to leave after 23 years.

  • jameshedges4 James Robert Hedges (@jameshedges4) reported from Walker Gate, England

    Have a mountain of work to do and need to be online to do all of it. What a surprise, @virginmedia is down again. What a waste of money

  • schizoid007 John Lacey (@schizoid007) reported from Gateshead, England

    Can't wait till my contract is up with @virginmedia to move back to @skytv probably the worst TV experience I've ever had. Horrendous hardware, UI and Operating System

  • james2288 James (@james2288) reported

    @virginmedia Why has Outlook started to reject my login for my Blueyonder account all of a sudden?

  • kat_tew Kat Tew (@kat_tew) reported

    @virginmedia @sergi15 The answer is no then. Half of EN9 has been out for 4/5 days the rest went out at 10am Thursday. Your estimated time frame keeps saying it will be fixed within a few hours. So can you actually tell us how bad it is and how long do your engineers really think it will take?

  • Rainewickham Lorraine Wickham (@Rainewickham) reported

    @virginmedia I have had no problems in speaking to DLA and domestic and General, I am only asking to cancel I should not need to provide copy of POA to cancel only if I was purchasing or changing something, and she should not be charged After today.

  • paulAspinall25 paul Aspinall (@paulAspinall25) reported

    @virginmedia Ive had 2 calls this morning with in one hour from 01420358001 saying they are from virgin technical support I've had about 4 calls from a similar number in the last 2 weeks trying to get me to upgrade please can you advise if this is one of your numbers or a scam

  • SaraCarnduff Sara Carnduff (@SaraCarnduff) reported

    @virginmedia Even though it's your faults you didn't fix the fault and the customer is vulnerable its about 10 days wait. Call centre are toothless in escalating. This should be a priority visit as it's totally your fault it's not fixed @Ofcom?

  • ChigTheStiG TheAmbassador (@ChigTheStiG) reported

    @virginmedia I have continually had disconnection issues for the past 8months to the internet and I’m always told someone will get back to me, I wait patiently and nothing is done. My internet keeps dropping off and I have to manually restart the hub. #poorCustomerService #poorService

  • paul_plays_rpgs Paul Plays RPGs (@paul_plays_rpgs) reported

    Hi @virginmedia, new customer here who now can't activate my package today because @YodelOnline have a backlog at their depot. Not off to a great start....
