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

    @virginmedia No, they just left. Rang your customer service they are now telling me the problem is internal. I’ve had no internet since July, no tv since August. It’s beyond a joke now. 5 visits I’ve had.

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

    @virginmedia I’d love to hear from how I’m supposed to report an issue with my broadband. You can’t do it via live chat and seemingly not via the phone either as you’re “experiencing difficulties”

  • Billzy79
    Billzy (@Billzy79) reported from Liverpool, England

    @Jacedafaceis @virginmedia Yes. Been out to lake district, and 4G mobile phone signal was quick and more reliable than the broadband. And people thought it was normal.

    @virginmedia All internet is down, wireless and wired; the hub light is white and it’s a Hub 3.0.

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

    @VirginMedia Received message. Now not accepting my email address. I have one only. My problem is with the remote control which is activated by pressing 2 buttons when they light up. Have had nothing but trouble with one remote for one TV. Your communication us not helpful.

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

    @virginmedia Nobody can help me, they just keep asking for patience. They’ve had since august to fix it. It’s unacceptable.

    I think Virgin Media should compensate me for my wifi being down during the Fortnite Community Event

    @virginmedia 20 hours for an estimated time of fix is an absolute joke

  • Irksome73
    Irksome (@Irksome73) reported

    @OliverGMcManus @virginmedia They have always been the worst. I had a fault when I was with them in London - due to someone cutting their fibre backbone - 16 weeks by which time I’d reversed engineers their own network and had a solution that worked for weeks.

  • samtilston
    Sam Tilston (@samtilston) reported

    This isn't just a bad press cycle for Virgin Media O2. We are tracking a specific pattern of synthetic 'outage' reports designed to trigger algorithmic short-selling and erode public trust in UK telecoms infrastructure during a sensitive regulatory window.

    Andy W (@AndrewW12290183) reported

    @virginmedia Well after 30 years that's me left VM. I would advise anyone to check their contracts to make sure you are not getting charged for a package you never signed up for(Like me) Forget complaining and watch out for the trick of you having to apply for a returns package

  • burchett84

    @virginmedia Hi, can someone please help regarding a bill please

  • DrBaalt
    ♛ 𝔹𝕒𝕒𝕝𝕥 (@DrBaalt) reported

    @footballontnt What’s the deal with TNT Sports and Virgin media and the HBO app. Signed up. But the app doesn’t allow access. And for that reason I’ll be gone in 30 days. This time forever. Such a ridiculous solution. Doesn’t work. So it’s gone and so is my business. Forever.

    @virginmedia can you check service in NE28 please and fix times. Internet and television.

  • RichTigheBrady
    Rich Brady (@RichTigheBrady) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, it has happened yet again today. Not working at all. Rebooted several times. As usual App says no problems in the area. Happens every 4-6 weeks. Then we call virgin and wait 5-8 days for an engineer!Then it comes back on b4 engineer turns up.!

  • RavinandnSingh
    Ravinandan Pratap Singh (@RavinandnSingh) reported

    @VirginMediaIE @virginmedia Still they have not resolved the issue. They charged over payment for 4 months and refunded only 2 months. Also no compensation for this fault. Is this how you are making money?
