  • 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

  • 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??

  • 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?

  • 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?

  • 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 :(

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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!?

  • 1CreativeRay Dr Stower and the Stock Market of Madness 🦍 (@1CreativeRay) reported from Wainscott, England

    @virginmedia Hi VM, I ordered a replacement remote control for my TIVO box. Just realised that was a couple of months ago but it never came. When trying online again it says as I’ve had one within six months I can’t order another. Please check that the first was ever sent, thanks

  • KatiePurkiss Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    . @virginmedia down yet again? Not able to watch On Demand and error messages. Plus their website is down. 🙄

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

  • wonky1961 Penny Rolfe nee Acres (@wonky1961) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @Mattallwright 2 years on since I have been having trouble with Virgin Media (fingers crossed) they may have now get an uninterrupted supply after charging me late payments more than double my Media prices whilst as a Vulnerable Person they were awful

  • 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.

  • BrianAustin21 Brian Austin (@BrianAustin21) reported from Dundee, Scotland

    @virginmedia are a joke. Services down again. Customer services are an absolute disgrace, no help what so ever 😡

  • 19nine78 19nine78 (@19nine78) reported from Motherwell, Scotland

    @virginmedia Now if either of your call handlers had sent me that earlier I could have made an informed decision 😂 Appreciate you can't access details on here but you've been more helpful than anyone else. Complaint sent via website form as well. Sadly, your probably losing a customer

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia And this is why I don’t bother calling you for the most part. The service desk where I work are in trouble if customers are on hold for 20 seconds. Virgin are a huge company and can’t afford a call centre where customers don’t have to wait 15 mins (so far) on hold.

  • Kimbow21 Mrs K E (@Kimbow21) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia I’m not bothered now we have left . The guy who answered the phone couldn’t be less interested . Every thing he was saying was on a card . He was very un professional and didn’t understand English fully . So he can’t be bothered to help I can’t be bothered .

  • ha66ie Paul Haggie (@ha66ie) reported from Yarm, England

    @virginmedia you really need more staff. I cannot get through to your retention team. I have wasted hours over different days. God awful waiting times. No updates whatsoever.

  • BrianAustin21 Brian Austin (@BrianAustin21) reported from Dundee, Scotland

    @virginmedia I have no wifi service. I haven't had any for 24 hours. I have spoken to customer service and they cannot get anyone to fix this today. I am on hold now to cancel my services

  • BarryWalters7 Barry Walters (@BarryWalters7) reported from Seaforth, England

    @virginmedia yet again our home phone line is not working, can you please let me know when I can expect to have it in working order as per our contract

  • CandiaMcKormack Candia McKormack (@CandiaMcKormack) reported from Gloucestershire, England

    Dear @virginmedia, I'm a busy girl who's wasted an awful lot of time today waiting for broadband to return. Tomorrow's going to be bonkers working twice as hard to catch up. A few reassuring words that things are returning to normal would go some way to reinstating my sanity. Ta.

  • MichaelAlanHunt Michael (@MichaelAlanHunt) reported from Gloucestershire, England

    @Lambpie1973 @virginmedia They should refund you for lost service, though you've probably got to fill in a form on their website. Tricky when your internet is down

  • DrMJJ DrMJJ (@DrMJJ) reported from Wetherby, England

    Well...an entire day of no internet connectivity today after ‘planned disruption due to network improvement engineering’ yesterday by @virginmedia. Amazing. 20min onhold to be told by support that my router is offline...thanks but that’s what the status lights are for. #shite
