    @virginmedia The sale person sat in my living room for 3/4 hour and told me that they take the cables over the roof, never once mentioned going round all the skirting boards, we would not have even signed up if known, its wasted my time & your engineers time.

    @virginmedia good morning, it appears that your service is poor yet again!!! No tv,broadband or phone since yesterday. A call to customer services reveals 03 March for service t return in full. 👏👏👏

  • wilcock_steve steve wilcock 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@wilcock_steve) reported from Barnsley, England

    @virginmedia Unfortunately we can no longer use this service as it states u can only do this 3 times. Which becoz it says phone fault as opposed to full service fault have been used!! 03 March is no good to me!!

  • RockettNeil Neil Rockett (@RockettNeil) reported from Wentworth, England

    @virginmedia I’ve run all the tests & it’s telling me the ethernet cable is unplugged. I’ve never had an Ethernet cable! I can watch tv & record but can’t access on demand or catch up services. It stopped working at 5.59am 27/2. Please send help! Like a real person. I’m getting fed up now...

  • RockettNeil Neil Rockett (@RockettNeil) reported from Wentworth, England

    Dreadful service from @virginmedia. Internet & TV problems for almost a week now. Completely fed up with being asked to unplug, plug back in again & run the set up process. It doesn’t work! They’re happy to take £70 pm for a poor service but reluctant to send an engineer.

  • pso_kt PsO kt (@pso_kt) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Ha iv just grabbed a technician outside shevis going to run a test as she visiting addresses with same issues 👌

  • badger63 judith badger (@badger63) reported from Sheffield, England

  • sheoirse G Eiselt (@sheoirse) reported

    Going to the office as @virginmedia hasn’t been able to fix their faults and I’ve been offline for 2 days now…

  • rochx1 Pádraig Rochford (@rochx1) reported

    @Victori00711452 @virginmedia Had a similar problem. 2 months of unusable service that we paid for before they finally figured out what the problem was. 2 complaints ignored & 1 still ongoing. The reply we got on the 3rd indicated they didn't read it properly as they talked about the current connection.

  • RocketRonnieRoc Ronnie Hampden (@RocketRonnieRoc) reported

    @virginmedia I’m having trouble with the link, I can’t enter anything as the keyboard won’t appear.

  • Collar_Grip Collar Grip (@Collar_Grip) reported

    @alrightfans @virginmedia Have you ever thought about getting your WiFi from your mobile service provider? Whenever their service is down, they throw you a load of data to set up hotspots until their service is back up and running

  • jaf_stream Jaf (@jaf_stream) reported

    @virginmedia Turns out that outage was the issue - but wasn’t reflected on your Service update page until hours later . Now it’s saying it won’t be fixed until 9pm? Ridiculous

  • alrightfans Alrightfans (@alrightfans) reported

    @virginmedia without doubt the worst run company and worst value for money product in the world. Absolute bumsniffers. Do not line their pockets

  • Utd1A A 🇾🇪 (@Utd1A) reported

    @Raj_Devsi @virginmedia They won’t give ****

  • EllesonMoore Elleson Moore (@EllesonMoore) reported

    @virginmedia Issue is Virgin hanging on to a refund I am owed

  • ACDC16738798 ACDC (@ACDC16738798) reported

    @virginmedia With regards to the bad connection in my house virgin have told me all good on their end and want me to pay extra per month for boosters which I refuse .

  • RichardT135 Westcomberesident 💙 (@RichardT135) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for your reply. The problem is wider than Lewisham as we’re in Greenwich. Seems to be across SE London. Is there a way you could email or text private and business customers with regular updates?
