    @virginmedia I reported a total loss of service on 31/8. It was finally fixed this morning. After no shows, lies and weeks between visits. They have not even offered to cover the cost of my last 3 dd’s which I wish I hadn’t paid as I had no service whatsoever

    @Sarahlw_95 @virginmedia Sarah I wouldn’t bother with WhatsApp, I’ve been speaking to various people for over a month on there trying to sort my incorrect bill. They just tell you it’s resolved when it isn’t. Scandalous service.

  • EmmaZhaan64
    Emma (@EmmaZhaan64) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia according to your representative my wifi is working perfectly and I don’t have any issues! That’s a bit odd considering I no service what so ever!

    @virginmedia Issues with all VM services in my area says expected fix by 4:40pm today.

  • 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.

    @virginmedia What does Virgin do for disabled people, when their internet goes down?

  • 92Tevs

    @virginmedia do you want the prize for the shittiest broadband ever or would you like to fix my internet service?

  • colette2511
    Colette Ellison (@colette2511) reported from Warrington, England

    @richardbranson you really need to sort out your company @virginmedia they a robbing gets. That company is bad in all areas. Some advice for people trying to cancel record everything for proof as they say they have cancelled it then send you loads of bills 😡

  • lurkinhead
    Martin Travis (@lurkinhead) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia Okay, but with respect, the problem is your call centre say different stuff every time, which inevitably bears no resemblance to reality. Later, VM deny those conversations ever took place and there is no written evidence to back up what was agreed. That's what I am after here?

    @virginmedia how am I supposed to run an online tutoring business from home when your system goes down twice in a day ? #payingmorebutgettingless

  • realjackoh187
    Jack Kelly (@realjackoh187) reported from Widnes, England

    @virginmedia Visit was fine replaced wifi. I was never out of Internet completely like it says only your compensation page, but it was equally as bad since my step daughter had online training to do which couldn't be done at all. My children also were not able to do homework.

  • NdawanaY
    Ndawana Youngson (@NdawanaY) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia They worked on it, or so I thought. I was told they fixed some external connections issue (outside the house)

    @virginmedia @alexand979677 And they don't take off anything if your service is down either

    RyanCartier (@RyanCartiers) reported

    @virginmedia AI should get rolled out once it works. Currently it does not - yet failing robots are used across the industry, eroding the reputation of those giving their customer the finger with it. Want to immediately be the industry leader?

  • colonbarbarian
    Captain Howdy (@colonbarbarian) reported

    @Dratcliffe1986 @virginmedia @ExeterBub You need to first register the outage through Virgin media itself. I do this everytime there is an outage. Virgin will usually then give you any compensation, if they don't, then report to Ofcom.

  • _DundeePerfect_
    A.Brown (@_DundeePerfect_) reported

    @virginmedia Read things accurately I never said that I do. I would not be mad enough to think I can run a Game and Stream a Picture in 4K using wifi... I don't use wifi in the house at all, TVs and PC are wired, only my Mobile connects to wifi but only to save Data when at Home.

    @alexand979677 @virginmedia open a complaint against them mate let it sit un resolved youll be able then to take it to the ombudsman who’ll rule in your favour for paying for services you haven’t been able to access. Worked for companies like this before never works out well for them also used this mysself.

    @colinmufc2 I have been kept on hold and passed around while trying to cancel out of contract services by peoole who don't understand that others have principles and can do without or pay more for better service. Some people just want change @VirginMedia, not 50 minutes of bs and retentions.

    johngunn (@johngunn2) reported

    @virginmedia @CliveR39 The last time I checked a couple of days ago it gave an estimated fix of 28th August. Which considering it’s been at least a week since it went down is a considerable length of time to not receive the service we’re paying for.
