    @virginmedia Well this is a cracking start. A call back tomorrow rescues the situation. Been a virgin customer since broadband came along. Fingers crossed.

    Ian Naylor (@ianpnaylor) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Not really. He said that there had been an outage in the area. That seems to happen nearly every day at the moment. Resetting the box multiple times, running a test, waiting then hoping.

  • mandybaps1
    Amanda Brightmore (@mandybaps1) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia No one has informed me of this, I feel I have been misold again very poor. No one mentioned this previously I have been told it was a new promotional that was added, so again alot of tosh. Does anyone know what they are doing at virgin.

  • maddyarden
    Prof Maddy Arden (@maddyarden) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia our broadband down without warning and service update says you hope to fix this by 5th April! Why so long? We rely on this for work - unacceptable

  • cranworth791
    Sam Millington (@cranworth791) reported from Rawmarsh, England

    @virginmedia Yeah that’s fine, or just a phone number / person to deal with? It’s my parents business and they have their property engineers coming out to view the issue on Monday. I assume they will be in touch themselves regarding the issues. Luckily it’s just rain water, and not sewage.

    @virginmedia Sure, office this morning at about 8am. No service and Internet access by 9.30M and popped back late morning and still nothing around 10.45am. So finished my admin at home with my own broadband connection. Didn't call or raise the issue as its a pointless exercise. Cheers

  • mandybaps1
    Amanda Brightmore (@mandybaps1) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Useless you haven't addressed my points. I will go directly to the managing director Lutz Schueler. Really disappointed and I woukd have expected better considering I have been a loyal customer.

    Ellen Brockaway (@happyhexer) reported

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia Ughh. What I likely have to look forward to. I informed @Xfinity of my sister's death, trying to cancel her service. Ended up hanging up on them. Good luck trying to recoup costs if they don't end service. I'm not on the account & am not legally responsible.

  • shamingjezebel
    Kitty (not a cat) (@shamingjezebel) reported

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia We told British Gas 4 times my grandad died, I couldn't deal with them in the end as I was broken, and had to get my mother to deal with it. The whole bereavement services need looking at.

  • _ragegun
    ragegun (@_ragegun) reported

    @virginmedia the only problem is that they do infact still seem to be transmitting. They're still on Sky

  • sspittles
    Sarah Spittles (@sspittles) reported

    @virginmedia many customers in Broseley are struggling with intermittent issues with internet service (this was before the heat 🥵) Your online service status test doesn’t appear to be working and can’t find our kit (we are using it, it’s here!) please sort the issue.

  • kkitkat_exe
    spidella's kitkat🍫||offline (@kkitkat_exe) reported

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia contact the ombudsman directly virgin media is useless they signed us up for their stay connected service w/o telling us and kept sending us bills when we didn't even have their equipment basically the ombudsman is the best way to get them to stop harassing you for money

  • mrsteachme
    Lawley (@mrsteachme) reported

    @virginmedia @PeteUK7 @virginmedia 'customer' service is an utter joke. I don't miss that now I'm not with them.

  • CathLiff
    cath liff (@CathLiff) reported

    @JamieGBarry @virginmedia cancel always gets a better deal pretty quick

  • freeITstafford
    Free I.T. Stafford (@freeITstafford) reported

    @JamieGBarry @virginmedia I tried that trick at cancellation time, and they told me my address will be stored and I'll always be classed as "existing" so would never be eligible for a "new customer" deal. The only way to be a "new customer" is to move house.

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia Bad robot.

  • Ed6114
    Ed61 (@Ed6114) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, turned everything of and started again, but then I had to navigate through the awful menu to get back to the programme I had started watching, and it started from the beginning again, did not resume. If this is an improvement over the V6 box, someone is having a laugh.
