    @tonymc39 @virginmedia Really, truly shockingly terrible.

    @virginmedia I'm not sure this is the 3rd box. It's the one with the router in same room. Re advice remotely got message saying problem could not be solved.

    @virginmedia Mine has just gone down now. I can’t ring via the virgin phone because the phone is connected to the hub.

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

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

    @BlaggerBly @virginmedia Seems to be Wirral wide at least, and I think Liverpool is affected too. VM should be massively compensating their affected customers for this, but they hide behind their terms and conditions where they only deem it reasonable to compensate if the outage last more than 3 days!

  • 92Tevs
    Thomas Evans (@92Tevs) reported from Liverpool, England

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

  • EmsydilemsyL
    Emma Latham (@EmsydilemsyL) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia advice please! I’ve been a customer for over ten years and am also an o2 customer and my account is now going up by another £12 per month on a pretty basic package! Phoned twice and been told that someone will get back to me with a new price package - still nothing

  • Nicolajb87
    Nicola Bates (@Nicolajb87) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia can you help my mum and dad they have had no telephone line since yesterday. The internet also went off but that seems to be back on now. It’s vital we get the phone on asap

  • cbray72
    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

  • 1AnneMcCormack

    @DoctorLemma Well done . Always had great service from @virginmedia just cant afford them anymore.

  • 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?

  • supergran22
    Maureen StewartJones (@supergran22) reported from Eccleston, England

    @virginmedia I have a booster. It was sent to me last Spring because of previous problems with TV in this room.

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

    @virginmedia can someone help me please? I’m about to lose my ****. Never ever known anything like this company. Now telling me lies on WhatsApp. Saying i logged an issue weeks after engineers had already been out to find the fault. Refusing compensation after 4 mths no service.

  • BLTwitchy
    Berni Turner 🖤🌹 (@BLTwitchy) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia No I’m not an idiot it was during covid I’ll go back and find it . The chief execs office rang me personally as I’m disabled

  • Simonrob1984
    Simon Roberts (@Simonrob1984) reported from Saughall, England

    @virginmedia why is the service down in Chester area? #virginmediadown

  • John_Kelly17
    John Kelly (@John_Kelly17) reported from St Helens, England

    @CruisingTheCut I’ve had very few issues with virgin media - depends if you need TV though. Otherwise I’ve heard very good things about over the air using the three network or EE.

  • 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

  • AndyMcK1982
    Andy McKeown (@AndyMcK1982) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia @virginhelp We have just signed up for a broadband/phone package. We were recommended by a friend. They never gave us a code though as they are a pensioner. We were told to simply give her details in but the operative would not accept. Can we still get a code after?

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

    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. 🦄

    Richard Davies FRSA (@radavies_art) reported

    Dear @virginmedia I’ve had no TV signal for almost a month. When I contacted you, I was twice left on hold for over an hour; when I finally spoke to someone, I was assured reception would be restored within 24hrs, that was two weeks ago!

  • revoraman
    Ric M. (@revoraman) reported

    @Benleo Guess what, Ben. @Ofcom after making a complaint o them about @virginmedia inertia not to resolve a service paid for monthly, took the easy way out and copped out. 'Not in our ballpark'. Wonder who owns whom? A regulator not worth the paper it seems!

  • taree_ru
    taree-ru (@taree_ru) reported

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia @VisionExpress keep sending my now 4 years deceased mother reminders for her eye test. This is despite meinforming them by calling them, attending a store in person and returning to sender the mail. Horrible reminders which are so unnecessary. Well done for calling virgin out.

    @BBCNews It is if you're a Virgin Media Customer with 360 box, even if you don't have TNT Sports. 👍 @footballontnt

  • rjcook15
    Rebecca Cook 🇬🇧 (@rjcook15) reported

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia I feel your pain - I’m having trouble with @BritishGasHelp who have even sent an apology addressed to my deceased mother and the man I spoke to couldn’t understand why I was so upset and that it had taken me 10 days to ring and try and explain

  • GingaGill
    GingaGill💙👩🏻‍🎓😷  (@GingaGill) reported

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia Yep…experienced issues with Santander & Portsmouth water co. The latter wanted to speak to account holder to confirm closure ! The former insisted my father had made changes to his online banking; a bit tricky really as he was dead& they didn’t have any internet. Total nightmare

  • steven_dale
    Steven Dale (@steven_dale) reported

    @virginmedia I have been locked out of "My Virgin Media” account since February, phoned 4 times and get nowhere they say they filled in a form and in 5 days it will unlock, never does. Means I have no access to sky sports, Virgin TV Go, and the new TNT Sports via HBO Max!!!

  • Ana1Atkinson
    Ana Atkinson (@Ana1Atkinson) reported

    @virginmedia we currently have no broadband, no tv and no landline. When I checked the service status, it says phone is ok, so I’m unable to register that we have no landline?

    "There's a broadband issue in your area" Aye, no **** @virginmedia. But there was no issues till your engineer turned up at lunchtime and started fiddling with the cabinets! 😩

  • lyndondp
    Lyndon (@lyndondp) reported

    @britfoodfinder @Benleo @virginmedia 29 days on and still account is locked. Had a reply to my oncoming complaint a week ago saying it would be unlocked in 3-5 working days from 18th May. Another 4 weeks and an official complaint to OFCOM will be going in if still unresolved
