John (@jfrncs_) reported from Birmingham, England@virginmedia Hi, I have now tried unsuccessfully for 12 hours to use the WhatsApp service as again it goes around in circles if I am not immediately available. The number you helpfully provided hangs up after sending a link… please advise how I talk to someone about my account.

Frugalista (@frugalista1) reported from Dorridge, England@virginmedia Typical Virgin Media response. Passing me on. Not actually solving the problem. I will never come back to @virginmedia and will advise all my friends never to think of using you.
-
Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Solihull, England@virginmedia TV completely down this morning ,it’s been intermittent since September nobody helps me just fobbed off. Who is the ombudsman over you I can complain to? I’m no longer prepared to keep paying for services I’m not getting.

-
Howard Martin 🇺🇦🇪🇺 (@HJMKent) reported from Kidderminster, England@virginmedia You have just repeated, word for word, the last tweet you sent me, to which I replied! Pointless trying to have any conversation with @virginmedia because it just goes round in circles! The most appalling customer services in UK in my experience! No more tweets from you, please!
-
Susan Johnson (@SusieWJr) reported from Swindon, England@virginmedia @ste1984r But YOU say 'intermittent' loss when it isn't. It's FULL loss of service. And to only compensate after 2 days is crazy.
-

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Al Murray Jnr🔴 (@Borochubster) reported@MartinSLewis Virgin media have a call back team. You actually have to cancel your contract, then they call you back within 2 weeks and that's when you get the best deals.
-
JHenderson (@j_henderson__) reported@virginmedia You know, it would be nice if there were some responsibilty taken for the poor customer service rather than some AI generated “ah well sorry about that”. You’re a service provider, and the service is crap.
-
Sodium (@sodiumlights) reportedSo, my @virginmedia hub died on Thursday. Finally worked out how to call them yesterday. Today a guy comes out to fix it but can't. Just got a message saying they'll be here on TUESDAY. Until then, no internet or TV. And no changes to the heating. Or the cat flap...
-
Dan (@dannog_8) reportedJust about had it with both O2 and Virgin Media. Both cost a fortune and get an absolutely abysmal service!
-
Dave Warrilow (@argyledavros) reportedMassive problems with @virginmedia in #Southend. Broadband hasn't been working properly for over a week. Service checker keeps changing excuse, so you can't book and engineer. Tried calling on hold for half an hour then cut off. Shocking service.
-
Egalitarian Geordie (@EgalGeordie) reported@nftholbein @csljohnkirby @O2 Yea I switched to EE after nearly 20 years with O2. They seem to have taken every awful part of Virgin Media since the merger. Would never trust them again.
-
Fatscholes76 🇺🇦 (@fatscholes76) reported@virginmedia intermittent service in the area yet no sign of any engineers sorting issues. How long will this go on?
-
Percival Merganser (@lennylaw) reportedReally good point from Steve. 0345 454 1111 How did I find the number? Went to the “accessibility support” tab on the My Virgin Media app. Always imagine you have a disability. Did they ask? Did they arse. Goes straight to the helpline.
-
Tom Phelan (@tomphelan01) reported@SeanMoy98947674 @bartleyj49 Not just matt cooper, virgin media are as bad. Every night you turn on the telly hes the first ginit you'd see. Biased, bitter little man
-
Soli (@oisoli) reported@virginmedia we are getting no internet and the app says it’s our kits connection but that is all good and still won’t work after following your steps? Any help or updates?
