    .@virginmedia broadband down. Seems to happen quite a lot!!

  • richarddbaker Richard Baker (@richarddbaker) reported from Darlington, England

    No company will ever be as inept as @virginmedia: - Phone lines: wait for hours, can't speak to anyone - Message service on app down for two weeks - Text service: messaged Sat, Sun, Mon, Tues; still no reply

    @virginmedia Internet seems to be down on DL3? Any update?

  • adallin Andrew Dallin. (@adallin) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia internet was down last night I got an email to day that it was fixed late on about half eleven yet today is up and down again. It's not good enough why is it not working, yet again? (DL1)

  • Kai35850650 Dougy Giro (@Kai35850650) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia Ah, so I do have to wait a week to get my broadband service back then! I was tantalisingly close to being able to do my job! Will have to inform my employers I guess!

  • Jackielindak Jackie 🤍 (@Jackielindak) reported from Doncaster, England

    @virginmedia Well I’m trying to cancel but no one is answering so I can’t. Unfortunately i can get better deal elsewhere so will be leaving

  • GriffithsAmy AmyLouise (@GriffithsAmy) reported

    @virginmedia But I'm sure you can explain why I was mis-sold a package which was never going to be honoured?

  • DavidMcClelland David McClelland (@DavidMcClelland) reported

    @Mike__Polak @BBCOne Virgin Media also has to migrate its customers from PSTN to digital voice (ie VoIP); in the event of a power cut the Virgin customer’s router would lose power, so yes, in same boat. Virgin does also have provision for battery backed-up emergency calls via cellular network.

  • MikeParrActor Michael Parr (@MikeParrActor) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, I'm finding your website to be very difficult. I'm still being billed for an account I closed three months ago. is there anyone here who can help?

  • TomGreenhalgh95 Tom Greenhalgh (@TomGreenhalgh95) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks but this still doesn’t work and we can’t register the loss of service (have tried on multiple devices)

  • dbcox7 Dominic Cox (@dbcox7) reported

    @virginmedia I expected sound knowledge from you. I didn't expect to have to scour a forum searching for help from users. I thought you'd be the tech experts. Your 'solution' was no better than "Did you try switching it off and then back on again". It just took more time...

  • jim_revelator James Frid (@jim_revelator) reported

    @virginmedia how do you get through to speak to someone? My contract is ending and it’s gone up to a ridiculous amount per month, no one picks up the phone at customer services! I will just cancel the direct debit someone will contact me then.

  • RDGuitarTuition Robert Dickenson (@RDGuitarTuition) reported

    @virginmedia is there a contact number for advice and/or complaints please? ATM, as a longtime customer, I am not impressed.

  • DanielG57062781 Daniel Graham (@DanielG57062781) reported

    @virginmedia I have no faith you will - 12 months been paying premium for poor internet - now 3rd day in attempting to cancel my contract via whatsapp but your staff offer me a new package and then disconnect even tho i explicitly ask for the ending of my contract. Not even half of the story.

  • Paratez Paratez (@Paratez) reported

    @virginmedia Started the WhatsApp channel and guess what, no one responds. Perhaps you should warn customers that it takes hours, days possibly weeks to cancel their contract.. #broadband #dreadfulservice #virgin
