  • MikeBuckley2 Michael Buckley (@MikeBuckley2) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia I am trying to access live chat as I have blackspots in house and would like WiFi boosters from Virgin. I have 200 Mbps but am getting only 20mbps in bedroom. Cannot find live chat on sites other than loads of help pages. Really frustrating

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

    @virginmedia No and there’s no point. You’ve had two years to fix this. I’m not paying any more and you can sue me. See you in court.

  • 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.

  • Twiterteroo Twiterteroo (@Twiterteroo) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia Folks, amuse me, why on earth would I or anyone complete a survey after leaving you when you couldn’t deal with the issue within 2 months and dare I say the plus 20 years we had an undiagnosed fault!?

  • SUEG46 Sue Groves MBE (@SUEG46) reported from Rochester, England

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

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

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

  • vamplady35 Sharon Cooper (@vamplady35) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia My understanding is that it is affecting a lot of people. I have now worked out how to access my email another way but do strongly feel that virgin media should be looking to resolve this issue ASAP.

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

    @virginmedia No, we’re way past all that now, this has been going on for months/years. Now, I can’t even get to talk to anyone. I’ve requested you change my box. You haven’t. What is the head office address for service of legal documents please?

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

    @virginmedia No, I want the postal address for service of a county court summons.

  • sinozza Simon Norris (@sinozza) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @ThatNickElse @virginmedia Did you get through in the end Nick...I'm having similar problems to you.

  • 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

  • pinknblue Helen Dickens (pinknblue):) (@pinknblue) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia hello Merry Christmas. If any one is there today so you know 8f the e mails are down as from early this morning it keeps asking me to put in mu password and then not recognising it but won't let me re set either and I can't send or receive any e mails :(

  • sinozza Simon Norris (@sinozza) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I spent over an hour on the phone yesterday trying to get through to a customer service rep only to get cut off. Still waiting to hear on WhatsApp and been on hold this afternoon 45 mins and still holding???? Whats going on??

  • 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.

  • vamplady35 Sharon Cooper (@vamplady35) reported from Gillingham, England

    @jamesdgreen02 @virginmedia I've got the same problem. Was told by the faults team that if it wasn't fixed by 11pm last night that it should be fixed by 8pm tonight. Still not fixed at the moment

  • 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

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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.

  • coxychris chris cox (@coxychris) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia why are no one answering your lines all I wanna do is cancel my package

  • ItsMeLydiaa solidarity 🌍✨ (@ItsMeLydiaa) reported

    @thelazydj @virginmedia Also having the same issue in ta6 4ez. Would be appreciated if @virginmedia didn't force us to go Karen Mode on social media because they don't answer the phone or bother giving the updates we've signed up for.

  • RichardMeaghan Richard Meaghan INTP (@RichardMeaghan) reported

    @virginmedia Your system is ridiculous, I have all the information, email, bill date, acc# etc yet can't get access to make a complaint or find out why I've been billed cos I dont have the password to an acc that was essentially my ex wife's under my name.

  • Barry80901949 Barry (@Barry80901949) reported from Bradford, England

    @virginmedia free gifts(£150.00) gift voucher& Apple Watch) now she’s been given 5 accounts with a massive bill & you’re asking for a payment to release the gifts. MASSIVE SCAM. D.D cancelled. Racheal Barrass as customer services director I fully expect you to sort this mess out

  • aecern Simon Jackson (@aecern) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve been on your site for over 2.5 hours. The last message from you was over an hour ago. I asked to cancel my Broadband service on 20 December. It is still active and you are still charging me. Please provide an email address for you Chairs and/or CEOs office.

  • boyar_kagamine Emma 🙂 (@boyar_kagamine) reported

    so if i can't give my 30 days notice to virgin media because their systems are down (read: too many people are annoyed at the price increase), i still have to pay an extra day once i am able to... cheeky

  • Matthewridley10 Matthew ridley (@Matthewridley10) reported

    @MoneySavingExp Cant even get on my account to check virgin media are the worst company to contact

  • Barry80901949 Barry (@Barry80901949) reported from Bradford, England

    @virginmedia what an absolute **** show of a company. My wife renewed her sim only contract last month & was offered an iPad as a free gift as a loyal customer. 5 times she was sent new iPhone 14,s by mistake. She went out of her way to return them all with the incentive of 1/2

  • j_dallimore58 🖤 SouthsideJohn 🌈🇪🇺🦇🏝️💙😷🇺🇦 (@j_dallimore58) reported

    @virginmedia Repeatedly. But since the problem seems to be area wide there doesn't seem to be much point.

  • dontbnosy4eva Sajad (@dontbnosy4eva) reported

    @virginmedia I was supposed to have an enginner why has this not happened it was booked n never turned up

  • j_dallimore58 🖤 SouthsideJohn 🌈🇪🇺🦇🏝️💙😷🇺🇦 (@j_dallimore58) reported

    @virginmedia we have had no broadband since midday. You were supposed to have fixed the problem by 3pm. So far you have sent 6 emails and 4 text messages telling me you have fixed the problem. You haven't. Thanks.
