    @virginmedia Yes I’ve been told this before… yet it never happened when my bill was generated. Let’s see eh..

    @virginmedia I never expected any engineer, because I'm aware it's an outage that affects a lot of people. But your CS responses could be a lot better.

    @virginmedia Just managed to get hold of someone, and apparently after over 10 years of no problems I now need WiFi boosters at an extra cost to myself all of a sudden, they couldn't tell me why just trying to squeeze more money out of me

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

    @virginmedia It’s to our address, we need a full repull and was told it would be done within 48hrs. This issue has been going on for months, they were just telling me to reboot the hub.

    Chris Wright (@ChrisWAzure) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia ...when all she has is TV on an old box and a phone line. She's house bound and this is all she has. The 1st feller attitude was disgusting and said like it or lump it. Clearly doesn't enjoy his job at Virgin Media and customer service is not his game! Awaiting a manger today, ty

    @virginmedia your customer service team is proper shite. Your router is in the bin outside ours

  • SmithysMaud

    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. 🦄

    Has virgin media gone down? #virginmedia @virginmedia

    Christopher Bray (@cbray72) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I think so yes there's definitely a issue of some description as it keeps happening all the time

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

    @virginmedia Telling me an engineer will come next week now, not good enough. Waited in all morning for one that never came and still no service.

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

    @virginmedia is honestly the worst company for WiFi

  • ShanklyBob77
    Ian Hawksey (@ShanklyBob77) reported from Aintree Village, England

    Absolute nightmare trying to watch @SkySportsF1 on my phone because of how poor @virginmedia are especially since merging with @o2, used to just put email and password in, now going around in circles with same message asking me to verify email link and switch, very poor practice.

    Ah another day of piss poor service from @virginmedia 0 Internet connection since 6am.... Thanks Branson 😒

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

    @virginmedia I'm checking online and it's saying there is an issue with the TV, but saying broadband is fine. I've had constant disconnections throughout the day for 2 weeks now. It works for a few minutes then goes off. What is going on?

  • TimmyJ1972
    Tim Jackson (@TimmyJ1972) reported from Garston, England

    @virginmedia To be honest, the issue is an intermittent fault. My wife works from home and the broadband just drops out numerous times a day. Then comes back on. It’s only worthwhile doing a remote test if it’s when it drops out. Otherwise all will look fine

  • andym1908
    Andrew (@andym1908) reported from Warrington, England

    @skytv @skytv . I am disappointed with your customer service and technical team . They have disconnected my sky viewing card . Why ?. I want rectifyying ASAP . Or shall I just cancel my subscription and go over to virgin media

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

    @virginmedia are an absolute joke. Was told to call back at half 6 and guess what? They’re shut! And again, no engineer visit. Getting cancelled 1st thing in the morning. Over a month of total loss of service, piss take. #avoid

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

    @virginmedia 3 x engineer visits, each time telling me there’s a blockage. Why does nobody fix it? I can’t even get through to cancel my services and get a refund for the direct debits I’ve paid when I’ve had zero service.

    @virginmedia @alexand979677 If I wanted to watch it on my phone / laptop / pc etc I would use an Internet based hooky site not something I pay 100 quid a month for. Get it fixed and issue rebates.

    @APTSArchive @virginmedia Beware the spam help page that has added posts. Unfortunately a too common trend. Our rail operator is frequently being spammed on its customer account.

    Is there an issue with the Internet in the L14 area, mine keeps dropping off 🤔 @virginmedia

  • 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.

  • JonHar1985
    Jon H (@JonHar1985) reported

    @virginmedia Haha there is zero point. I’ve got 2 complaints ongoing due to how crap you’ve become. Really love I’m ******* for like another 18 months. Absolute top tier service you bunch of jokers

    @virginmedia @ExeterBub Are repairs for no service supposed to be 48hrs from when reported? Id raise to the issue to ofcom, make sure Virginmedia keep to the extended time frame and provide full compensation and refund for the lost TV access

    FFS 😡😡😡😡 I’m 6 foot 6 FOOT away from my disc thing and sitting in my garden and my #btwifi is dropping out on my phone!!!! @virginmedia PLEASE put your internet down my road. @bt_uk you suck

  • ScarlettShaw
    Scarlett Shaw (@ScarlettShaw) reported

    Do yourself a favour. DO NOT use the one touch switch service with @SkyUK or @virginmedia. Still paying for both for weeks. Virgin continues to bill me despite me having sent back their equipment. The whole thing is a con. Be warned. @Ofcom

    @Carolestfc1 @virginmedia Worst company I have ever dealt with and it's not even close. They'll screw your credit rating by mistake and never, ever fix it. They'll hang up on you, the staff don't put notes on accounts and you have to tell the same story to 20 different disinterested call centre staff.
