    @virginmedia Is this related to this breach. If not that’s even worse and just says the service is really bad

  • K74Marti Marti Jerrard - K74 (@K74Marti) reported from Farnborough, England

    @lastdart @virginmedia I am with you on this one. They may have me over a barrel right now but when this is all over and normal service is resolved they can say farewell to this customer. If this is the way they treat loyal customer then #SirRichardBranson is in for a big expensive shock.

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

    @virginmedia I signed up to your service & order a sim only deal. I’ve been trying to order another one but can’t log in to my account. Keeps saying there has been a problem and try later. This is my first ever experience with Virgin. I can’t log in nor can I place my order #firstimpressions

  • GariClark Gari Clark (@GariClark) reported from Reading, England

    Hi @virginmedia, I'm trying to pay a bill through your app, but every time I try to pay, it keeps saying ”session has timed out” and has done for the last couple of days. Before this, I've never had an issue with it but it's not happening this time. Please advise. Thanks.

  • Cooper100Nicola Nicola Cooper (@Cooper100Nicola) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia I’m still waiting for someone to reply to me about my bill. I get cut off when I try to phone, the online complaint form receives an error on every submission, there is no chat functionality available and I can’t get a reply in social media. Please advise ASAP. Thank you.

  • safdar Safdar Mustafa (@safdar) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia Followed all you suggested actions, and still no joy. Also have a complaint open COM103973949, someone should have got in touch within 24h. 2 days and still nothing.

  • twittyhaj Lady No BS 🐶🌍💖 (@twittyhaj) reported

    @virginmedia your pick up of equipment, it’s ridiculous to offer it and then say you can’t advise when you will be around to pick up on the day. I don’t have the luxury of waiting all day for a collection. If I knew this was the service, I would have dropped off at the PO.

  • lisaslondonlife LisasLondonLife (@lisaslondonlife) reported

    @virginmedia Hello, I have checked already and there is an outage today which is due to be repaired soon, but the service is still breaking down and tv signal not working regardless of today's incident

  • NatHurd Natasha Hurd (@NatHurd) reported

    @virginmedia No. I have asked for details of where to send a complaint

  • cathydab Cathy Dabrowski (@cathydab) reported

    @virginmedia I haven’t been able to access my email account since Saturday - it keeps giving the message try again in an hour - can someone help resolve the issue?

  • sue_jones4 Sue jones (@sue_jones4) reported

    @TonyMaudsley1 @virginmedia Just don't pay the bill. They will soon ring. Awful company

  • drandriko D (@drandriko) reported

    @virginmedia To automated line says it is due to improvement and restored by 9am but doesn’t say which day. Spoke to one personal who said fault would be fixed 9pm Tuesday. Spoke to another who said issue would be fixed by 9am Tuesday. Yesterday it was 12 noon Tuesday. Do you have a clue?

  • Artemu Kyle (@Artemu) reported

    @virginmedia I can’t get past “enter your virgin media account / phone number” - I’m not a Virgin media customer, I have a WiFi pass.

  • MTB_Flyer Steve Thomas (@MTB_Flyer) reported

    @virginmedia so you have a known issue and have been to my house multiple times and admit there is an issue in the network and your feedback around my complaint is to call and get an engineer to my house. You wonder why your customer service is so poor, which lazy reporting like.

  • stumpypoppet1 stumpypoppet (@stumpypoppet1) reported

    @virginmedia Suprise suprise system gone down again..

  • duncanhannigan Duncan Hannigan (@duncanhannigan) reported

    @virginmedia It’s an issue with your equipment at the cabinet and wiring to the property as well I believe ref C-230821127 if that helps 18th August failed installation 14th Sep forecasted resolution. CS team lied and provided miss information - Pre install team refuse to budge #shocking
