    @Mtr95 @virginmedia I’ve had the same…so frustrating…just total lack of service regularly…if I had a choice of fibre providers here I’d ditch this shambles in a heartbeat

    @vmbusiness Every morning around 9:30 this week, our business broadband has stopped working. Lights look normal and we need to power cycle to get service back. What's going on? Postcode B90 3BD Do you have a back up option available as this affects card payments.

    @O2 @virginmedia Further to this, he has now told me that as I get a £15/month discount for my 1st 6 months with O2, I need to cancel that and pay full price in order to get the extra #Volt speed boost with VM

    @virginmedia your TV Go App doesn't ******* work. Won't accept my login. Won't let me change it. Won't let me register a new account. ******* joke

    Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia Is there an email address I can use instead? I can just tell them the address and send the photos and explain the problem. They turn up whenever and fix it (its on the street, so no one needs to be home) I’ve taped up the lower parts, but up higher it is hanging over a shop sign.

    @virginmedia No estimated time. "It's a complex problem". In other words its a network fault not a line fault. Why isn't the number you shared available on your website? The service checker is useless in this scenario. The website says it's working when it isn't.

    @virginmedia is the internet down in B92 of Solihull

    @virginmedia Just called your offshore call centre regarding my internet connection. I’m having the same issues as I had when I got a £154 credit from you. /1

    @virginmedia Hi John. Just lost the internet again in the middle of a teams conference with a very important client. I will not try to get in touch with Virgins Customer service as I am to busy however for what difference it makes Virgins service is appauling

  • notdodgy
    Roger Leitch (@notdodgy) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia once again on demand not working. How are you supposed to watch a sky movies film when it stops every 10 seconds to spin a wheel for 10 seconds. Service checker says its fine and the box has been rebooted.

  • ninsull
    Nickins (@ninsull) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia how can you spend nearly an hour on two phones to report a problem with no one picking up. Yet ask me if il refer you. @next stop I’m cancelling my contract.

  • notdodgy
    Roger Leitch (@notdodgy) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia our broadband is down flashing green light. The service page has a fault shown but check status says its working fine. You need diagnostics for your diagnostics...

    @virginmedia Didn’t get a response then told another dept would contact. All we want is the service we are paying for. We need a new v6 box the replacement sent doesn’t work properly(set top box) we cannot use catch up and the picture is intermittently pixilated.

    @IanMurphy111 @virginmedia Been with them since Telewest I don’t know why I stay false promises poor service

  • Markycot
    Mark Cottrill (@Markycot) reported from Solihull, England

    And now you have been offline for over half a day with your website still saying there is no known issue?! I want to make an official complaint to both @virginmedia and @Ofcom , Your service is appalling and your customer service even worse.

  • andyjuk
    Andrew Jones (@andyjuk) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia have to say, even with no voice, Stan on your customer support team provides better service than some of the outsourced centres!

  • stumccullagh
    Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Solihull, England

    @Ofcom can I complain about @virginmedia to yourselves? Had no TV service for nearly a month with no help.

  • Ade1701
    Ade1701 (@Ade1701) reported from Dorridge, England

    @virginmedia After more than FOUR HOURS on the phone I eventually got someone competent from billing to confirm I am eligible for one free booster and someone else to talk me through fixing the security issue. You seriously need to prioritise vulnerable customers!

  • simkins_tracey
    Tracey Simkins (@simkins_tracey) reported from Halesowen, England

    @virginmedia I am a new customer who was supposed to be installed yesterday, only to be told that they couldn’t do the job. I am now without any TV and broadband unable to work due to this.I am left without any contact & waiting for another he for c/services to answer!! 😡 Help!

  • notdodgy
    Roger Leitch (@notdodgy) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia It's not faulty. It's not a wifi or broadband issue. You don't have enough backhaul capacity.

    Ed Jones (@edujones14) reported

    @Johnty14 @virginmedia Better than when they came to my house. I’m not a customer but they still came while I was out and dug up plants in my front garden to access connecting services I didn’t ask for. Then refused any contact with me afterwards due to not being a customer!

    @virginmedia Trying to play @PlayStation @granturismo ? Don't bother! It's just a few tracks and cars in arcade mode without an internet connection! I have home entertainment to prevent these corporate based issues.

    Helen Bedford (@helenxbedford) reported

    @virginmedia Hello! I have an engineer visit booked but it’s not on the app. I’ve raised a complaint about that but my complaint isn’t on the app. I started a live chat and was asked to move it to WhatsApp’s, but didn’t receive any comms. How can I get any response from Virgin?

    Success W Lewis (@SuccessWLewis1) reported

    @virginmedia 3 months of issues have forced me into this situation. I may as well be in a zombie apocalypses.

    Hey @virginmedia, my internet has been down since 6pm yesterday and you still haven't managed to fix it. FFS! SORT IT OUT!

    mmhmm (@xhatne) reported

    @Johnty14 @virginmedia Easy solution here, someone should invent a method to get the leaflet through the door, so it ends up in the house, but passers by can't see it so it isn't obvious that nobody is home.

    @MelJanie @virginmedia Virgin made all customer care off shore and made us all redundant, just so they can save money...but in the process are losing their customers.

    @virginmedia I’ve had SkySports add on without requesting this. Customer support saying 30 days notice required. Anyone else had this? This is fraud!
