    @virginmedia we seem to have WiFi still but our sky box has lost connection.. is this related to the issues you have?

  • tolu_____ Tolu (@tolu_____) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia How about just provide me a link to download the less than 10mb of pdf? Admin fee to provide a link or email a customer of over 3years? What have you offered me in return for the many times of INTERRUPTED service when I’ve had to turn to my mobile hotspot?

  • moebius1967 ron palmer (@moebius1967) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    Wow Virgin media TV services are down nationwide due to a power outage. That's an awful lot of compensation.

  • onearmedjohn Onearmedjohn (@onearmedjohn) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia I’ve had two lengthy phone calls with your ‘technical support’ people; it briefly got quicker then stopped working completely. On their instructions I’ve changed some settings on my router which apparently may take 48 hours to fully take effect…

  • kellydyke08 Kelly **** (@kellydyke08) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia time now 11:14pm and certain channels still aren’t working, things said they have recorded when they haven’t, search function also still not working code c133. I think a refund is due to a lot of customers 👎🏻👎🏻#virginmediadown

  • HeyYouItsCorrie HeyYouItsCorrie (They/Them) (@HeyYouItsCorrie) reported from Rochester, England

    @suziqvk @virginmedia BT, without a doubt. Virgim media is absolutely useless, bad internet, bad coverage, bad service

  • DanskiBoyWonder ∂αиѕкι (@DanskiBoyWonder) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia Thankyou I’ve done that hopefully they fix it 🙏🏻

  • Tommy_Doyle Tommy Doyle 💙 (@Tommy_Doyle) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia Hi, had a call this morning allegedly from you saying my internet service was compromised and malware was being downloaded, then proceeded to ask questions which I refused to answer. Was it you lot?

  • moleyfozz paul fouracre (@moleyfozz) reported from Rochester, England

    Two contrasting phone calls to @virginmedia CS this morning. Really unhelpful 1st guy / rude. Rang directly back and the differner guy was absolutely amazing. Mathew was his name and he needs a praise. 1st guy really needs a lesson in customer service. Thank you Mathew.

  • sarahhben Sarah Bennett (@sarahhben) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia Our internet is down in ME8 area (Parkwood) status check says ‘no known issues’

  • onearmedjohn Onearmedjohn (@onearmedjohn) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia I think she was recording a fault as far as I could make out due to her poor English

  • owensirons93 Andrew Owen (@owensirons93) reported from Corringham, England

    @virginmedia any reason why you still haven’t fixed our phone lines? Been down for 3 months now so I’ll be expecting a reimbursement. Also expect a reimbursement due to the fact your failing to supply the minimum download speed

  • briggsym matt (@briggsym) reported from Wickford, England

    @virginmedia broadband speeds are awful - who should I go with @SkyUK or @BTGroup

  • TylerTowers Ashley Halliday (@TylerTowers) reported from Gillingham, England

    I’ve been on my knees far too much tonight. @virginmedia your broadband is awful these days. And resetting either fails or lasts 10 mins. From superhero to supergran. Not worth your monthly bill. #virginmediadown #virginmedia

  • emilymorgan_x Em💛 (@emilymorgan_x) reported from Basildon, England

    Can someone pls explain to me why @virginmedia wifi is so shockingly ****

  • briggsym matt (@briggsym) reported from Wickford, England

    @virginmedia how can I complain about internet reliability from your service. It has been appalling and inconsistent and seriously considering moving to another provider.

  • onearmedjohn Onearmedjohn (@onearmedjohn) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia This is so tiresome I have complained so many times about slow broadband speed, unreliable WiFi, terrible TV services & only after threatening to leave did you send an engineer in July. This made it a little better, but recently it’s been unreliable of an evening.

  • DanskiBoyWonder ∂αиѕкι (@DanskiBoyWonder) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia They replaced the box and it’s all working now,I do have one other query I have the Virgin go app but I don’t have any content available on it,is this something you can fix for me? There appears to be an issue with my account I have the ultimate ooomph package if that matters.

  • adiesmith64 ⚒Adrian Smith⚒ (@adiesmith64) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @KAYI50747133 @virginmedia Yep how you have explained it is exactly the same for me, have tried my 2nd box upstairs but the same problem!

  • onearmedjohn Onearmedjohn (@onearmedjohn) reported from Gillingham, England

    @BritishGas I’m truly astonished. I didn’t think there could be anyone worse than @virginmedia for customer service but you’ve managed it. I’m in awe.

  • zoobybook zooby brodie beagles (@zoobybook) reported

    @virginmedia Hi is the email server down? Last delivered emails 13:11 today. Said server not available to wait an hour and try again, still not available

  • PlasFron John Bell (@PlasFron) reported

    @jamescw44 @tonymc39 @virginmedia Spent months trying to get decent BB off Vodaphone and whole day last week with helpful engineer, then frustrating time on phone and Twitter Messaging, trying to solve the problem. Eventually, agreed to replace the Router. Should arrive tomorrow, hopefully, will solve the problem

  • fleuroriginale LisaBH (@fleuroriginale) reported

    @virginmedia hello. Will your overseas call centre stop a harassing me for the return of equipment that I was told to recycle as it was out of warranty and I was years past my contract end. I WILL issue a cease and desist letter if you continue.

  • ManiPillai1886 Mani Pillai (@ManiPillai1886) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks. The message on this number says that there are no issues in the area. This contradicts what the customer centre staff told me. How can we get these conflicting messages?

  • TraceMoore Tracey Moore (@TraceMoore) reported

    @virginmedia I don't appreciate the aggressive, unsolicited sales call I've just had from one of your staff. Once I've calmed down I suspect I'll be calling YOU to cancel my account. It was outrageous.

  • ManiPillai1886 Mani Pillai (@ManiPillai1886) reported

    @virginmedia No, neither your site nor your app shows any issues in the area. I am now on a call with another CS rep who tells me that there are issues in the area but doesn’t know why your website hasn’t got status update.

  • Rawrschack Immie🌟 (@Rawrschack) reported

    @Seb_is_tired @virginmedia For me it's going to be down until 22:10 according to the website, No box or Internet that is.

  • PGore2020 PGore (@PGore2020) reported

    .@virginmedia someone trying to move their service from one address to another cannot get this done despite using all your channels. How can this be resolved as they are paying for a service they are not getting. Why is your computer saying “No”.

  • Skortchio Dave Murphy (@Skortchio) reported

    What happens when you have to move home to accommodate your medical disability but @virginmedia, whom you've been a customer of for 15 years don't cover the area you move to? A "cancellation fee" over £200 is what happens. Thanks, @MoneyTelegraph for the complaints address.

  • neurovet_clare Clare Rusbridge (@neurovet_clare) reported

    @virginmedia No disruption to service according to your site and in any case this is a constant problem worse on weekends and Friday ( not related to our devices).
