    Hi @virginmedia can you please check service RG31 as all services are down, the online check confirms the status is down but only option is book an engineer for Tuesday, does that mean I can expect no TV or Internet until then?

    @virginmedia why do you keep hanging up on your help line thatwere on hold for, for 30 minutes a time. Answer and help

  • MaxwellPerris Maxwell Perris (@MaxwellPerris) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia That you don't have enough staff to meet customer demand, apparently you don't have a complaints team and a £20 credit should solve all our problems. We never had this issue when we were with @SkyBroadband

  • rockyrobin1982 Robin Conway (@rockyrobin1982) reported from Bracknell, England

    Hey @itv and @virginmedia. Could you please highlight the #WeMakeEvents campaign along with your footage and advertising of V festival coverage? As without support there won’t be another one to broadcast. #lightinred

  • tomasquith93 Tom Asquith (@tomasquith93) reported from Twyford, England

    @virginmedia The only detail I’ve had is as follows and it’s hardly detailed. Please can someone tell me what is the issue and where, with timescales. “Hi, it's Virgin Media here. The installation is kept on hold due to construction issue.”

  • jayp171 jayesh Patel (@jayp171) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia is there a problem in the Maidenhead area?

  • JurassicGarden Char (@JurassicGarden) reported from Didcot, England

    The worst part of Lockdown wasn't the loneliness, the boredom or the agitation. It was seeing ******* Birdseye, McCain's and Virgin Media shoving happy family lockdown vibes down your throat to advertise themselves.

  • djmessyxjessy Jessica Boshier (@djmessyxjessy) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia why do we keep getting cut off from your help line when you’re saying your going to block my mums phone. Answer!!!!

  • Neeknowsbest Kim (@Neeknowsbest) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia Hi. I have has my your chat open for 24 hours, sent a text message 36 hours ago and no response to either. As a new customer, with a query, this is not a good start.

  • Rochdale_Cowboy Craig (@Rochdale_Cowboy) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia All fine now - but TBH we're probably going to cancel. Our contract is up its going up from £70 to £85/month. To sign a new deal is a £82. Your offer to new customers is £45. I can't be bothered with this hassle every few months so am looking at sky. Thanks for checking though 👍

  • StuRobsonFrisby Stuart Robson-Frisby (Ivanti) (@StuRobsonFrisby) reported from Yateley, England

    @virginmedia No broadband in GU46 7RR... is this part of the outage as have seen others in the area with issues but your website says no issues reported?

  • tomasquith93 Tom Asquith (@tomasquith93) reported from Twyford, England

    @virginmedia I’ve called, but that provided no help. I was told I’d get a callback from a team closer to the issue in 24 hours - which has since passed. Honestly, not a good start and I’ve not got service yet!

  • rohaaminho Najm Khan (@rohaaminho) reported from Farnborough, England

    Had the worst internet day ever. Never use Utility Warehouse or whoever own the line around here which is @virginmedia

  • HaiderAlRekabi Haider Al-Rekabi (@HaiderAlRekabi) reported from Reading, England

  • mrjmb1 john marc brown (@mrjmb1) reported

    @LichVtuber @virginmedia have a look at the virgin media service status page and see if they recognize a problem in your area, my household has been with them for years and every call line response has been BS

  • Devhoneybadger Devilishoneybadger (@Devhoneybadger) reported

    @LichVtuber @virginmedia I have the same problems with sky sometimes Internet here in the UK makes me wanna cry.

  • ebhodge Brian Hodge (@ebhodge) reported

    Is it just me or is there a TV broadcasting issue across stations? Staccato pausing/breaking down. I'm using @virginmedia and tried contacting them but without success.

  • FSR_Renascor Renascor (@FSR_Renascor) reported

    @LichVtuber @virginmedia The dreaded call to customer service..you know its not going to do anything but you have no choice. I feel your pain.

  • OnepuunchRS 👊Punch👊 (@OnepuunchRS) reported

    @LichVtuber @virginmedia Yeesh. Sounds ******, for sure. I hope you're able to get it fixed, or at the very least are able to find a better service provider. I recommend full fiber optic if you're able to get it where you live

  • sdempsey Shane Dempsey (@sdempsey) reported

    @hilitetv @virginmedia Actually, just checked and we had reception problems with C4 HD an hour ago. The picture & sound were breaking up.

  • mochiiimo_ mochiimo☁️ Vtuber soon ? (@mochiiimo_) reported

    @LichVtuber @virginmedia When I went with virigin then they turned up n told me couldn't have virgin in my area and then tried to cancel on the phone and got passed to so many dif advisors trying to sell me bundles WHEN I CANT HAVE VIRGIN IN MY AREA & WANT TO CANCEL. Phone call was at least over 2 hours

  • KiraShizumi Kira Shizumi EN-Vtuber 🔞 (@KiraShizumi) reported

    @LichVtuber @virginmedia I miss when a customer service line used to be calling the number, pressing whatever number for your spoken language, and then boom you'd talk to a person. Now it's completely robotic and it takes like 20 minutes to get a real person, and even then they usually can't help you :(

  • Sry4Breathin Michael (@Sry4Breathin) reported

    @LichVtuber @OnepuunchRS @virginmedia Ask to be transferred to the cancelation team, they have a better ability to get technicians out to you than the first line support. If they fail to fix the issue within a month of it first occurring you can leave the contract without paying a early fee.

  • Cpt_Yakitori Cpt_Yakitori (NSFW-artist)🔞 (@Cpt_Yakitori) reported

    @LichVtuber @virginmedia As someone that works for phone tech support customer service, I feel like apologizing. Remember, we too consider this an underpaid soul-sucking exercise.
