  • DannyLannon dannyWAFClannon (@DannyLannon) reported from Wigan, England

    @Louisewafc @virginmedia Nice of Stoke fans turn up to support us

  • tuite_liz Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia Could the problems in the area have caused damage to the equipment? As it was working fine before. Do I get compensation for all this time as the earliest appointment is Friday 14th?

  • SmithysMaud Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    Day 42 of no service from @virginmedia. Engineer meant to be coming again today, think I’ve more chance of a unicorn showing up to be fair. 🦄

  • SmithysMaud Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia Yes, this has been going on now for months. Was just on to your team to cancel, they hung up on me. I’ve never known a more woeful service. They are quick enough to take payment every month for a service I’m not getting.

  • tuite_liz Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia I first informed Virgin Media that my internet was down via online chat on Friday afternoon. Will this have automatically been the time when my loss of service was registered as at the time the advisor said it would be fixed in 24 hours?

  • MirLADas phil61efc (@MirLADas) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia what’s going on virgin no tv since Friday morning told 5th now 6th no messages nothing paying for nothing compensation rates garbage nothing should take this long with a company like virgin L4 area

  • tuite_liz Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia See thread above, nothing changes except the time of the estimated fix. It must be very localised as not everyone in my area is affected. So if it is damaged cables, I haven’t seen anyone out repairing them over the weekend, it’s a joke

  • SmithysMaud Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia All the while taking my direct debit payments for a service I am not getting

  • Radebreast Graeme Radebe (@Radebreast) reported from Ormskirk, England

    @virginmedia Hi - Ive noticed alot of people are having the same issues. Its the Sky TV Go app on Playstation 4. Ive checked it on another internet and it works fine so it is definitely an error on your side. You need to sort the internet settings. It struggles to load “on Now” on the app.

  • BootleFCBucks Bootle Bucks (@BootleFCBucks) reported from Liverpool, England

    @JamesSymes8 Virgin Media. It keeps going really bad.

  • tuite_liz Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia 2/2 who can I speak to as it was working fine on Friday until the issues that were nothing to do with me happened, so don’t see why I should now pay for a technician

  • SmithysMaud Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia They’ve been today apparently to do the repull and nothing has changed. Still no service. I won’t be paying this month as I’m not paying for nothing.

  • tuite_liz Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia Can you check that I will be receiving a credit on my next bill as it has been down since Friday afternoon and I don’t think it will be fixed by 12pm today, I think that time will get changed again.

  • tuite_liz Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia my internet has been down since Friday afternoon. I was told it would be fixed in 24 hours, the time has since changed and is currently at 8pm this evening. I work from home so need my internet back up and running before Monday morning. This is disgraceful

  • tuite_liz Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia I looked and that says it’s from the day I registered the total loss of service which was yesterday but really it should be from Friday afternoon when I did the online chat. If I DM you can you check?

  • agarnett Adam (@agarnett) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia Is there any way to tell if there are signal issues in your area? This says i should get 4g indoors and outdoors, i dont though i can barely access mobile internet from my house. Last 3 months have been awful

  • Robertlfc_ Rob (@Robertlfc_) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia just been took out of a game of fifa, that I was winning! Because of your awful internet. Get it fixed!!

  • Radebreast Graeme Radebe (@Radebreast) reported from Ormskirk, England

    @virginmedia what have you done to the Sky TV app - its constantly buffering and showing error messages. Just awful service. Please can you get this sorted ASAP please.

  • SmithysMaud Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia 38 days after the repull should’ve been done? You think that’s good customer service?

  • NatashaVic Capitã Nat (@NatashaVic) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Can I speak to a human, please? It’s impossible to speak to anyone here. I paid for my bill via bank transfer more than a week ago and it hasn’t been registered. Phone service is not recognising my password and I can’t find a live chat.

  • TerraceFabulous TerraceFabulous (@TerraceFabulous) reported

    @ZoologyDave @virginmedia I’ve been trying for weeks and weeks to get my broadband sorted. £130 a month for something that won’t work. They act like it’s my fault. This company is dire. I can’t even leave as that team won’t pick up. Highly recommend no one to use this company it’s terrible

  • AimOshin Amy Oshin (@AimOshin) reported

    @virginmedia absolutely shocking customer services! Initially mis-sold a package, wrong equipment turned up, told the correct equipment was out of stock then someone else got it out to me?!? We now cannot activate the box and I’ve been on hold between depts for 2 hrs!!!! 😡🤬😡

  • wirebird50 Carol Rivas (@wirebird50) reported

    @virginmedia was without #internet yesterday, costly and annoying for us, but has become impossible to report this on @virginmedia site as a service issue without engineer callout. Is this to make yourselves look good for @02 ? Please #compensate us.

  • markmacnicol Mark MacNicol (@markmacnicol) reported

    @virginmedia can’t get through to one of your tech support people (do they exist? or is all self/online support?) been on hold for over an hour any ideas?

  • Parklands_Ward Parklands LD Focus Team (@Parklands_Ward) reported

    @virginmedia further complaint about your contractor's destruction of grass and the daffodils beneath them at Burnside Road NE3. You don't seem to care but maybe potential customers will consider what you think about their environment

  • lukebrrown Luke Brown (@lukebrrown) reported

    @virginmedia Have done and there's no loose connections... Nothing has changed, the internet just cut out yesterday around 2PM - haven't been able to get online since. We're having to hotspot using our mobile data. Please help us get this sorted ASAP.

  • Archie2209 Hayley Archie (@Archie2209) reported

    @virginmedia and the account still isn’t sorted! I myself am with you and never had this experience but it’s definitely left a bad taste and my poor mum still has to call up again and hope she isn’t forgotten again! Please think about streamlining a bereavement line in future!

  • j_leisten James Leisten (@j_leisten) reported

    @virginmedia something needs to be done about your customer service! I’ve been passed from pillar to post and no one will let me leave🤬 #sortitout

  • Shannyyy3 Shans (@Shannyyy3) reported

    @andybullwba @virginmedia I’m on hold right now because I have the exact same issue!

  • Chrissanders13 Chris Sanders (@Chrissanders13) reported

    @virginmedia just had your equipment installed, tv not working, broadband download speeds only 20mb not the 500mb I am supposed to get and to top it all off I can’t log in online because your forgot password system is not working, any chance of some help before I go back to sky?
