  • kellydyke08 Kelly **** (@kellydyke08) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia time now 11:14pm and certain channels still aren’t working, things said they have recorded when they haven’t, search function also still not working code c133. I think a refund is due to a lot of customers 👎🏻👎🏻#virginmediadown

  • moebius1967 ron palmer (@moebius1967) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    Wow Virgin media TV services are down nationwide due to a power outage. That's an awful lot of compensation.

  • MrChips2000 MrChips (@MrChips2000) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I would like to cancel my recent broadband order. I found a better deal.

  • hairydalek ⭐️ 🇪🇺 Paul ⭐️ Dunning 🇪🇺 ⭐️ (@hairydalek) reported from Writtle, England

    Sadly, the @horror_channel catchup service isn’t on @virginmedia , which is a total bummer.

  • adiesmith64 ⚒Adrian Smith⚒ (@adiesmith64) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @KAYI50747133 @virginmedia Yep how you have explained it is exactly the same for me, have tried my 2nd box upstairs but the same problem!

  • wonky1961 Penny Rolfe nee Acres (@wonky1961) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @Mattallwright 2 years on since I have been having trouble with Virgin Media (fingers crossed) they may have now get an uninterrupted supply after charging me late payments more than double my Media prices whilst as a Vulnerable Person they were awful

  • suzywotz ꧁༒☬𝓢𝓾𝔃𝔂𝔀𝓸𝓽𝔃☬༒꧂ 🌷🐼🎪⭐️👸🏽 (@suzywotz) reported from Gravesend, England

    @JooMarsden @virginmedia I truly have never experienced anything like this before , there’s gonna be a launch here soon … this router out my bloody window and I couldn’t give a toss where it touches down @richardbranson it certainly won’t be a safe landing where’s our service we are paying for ?

  • AViTSCJ Scott Jackson (@AViTSCJ) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia why is it when you request cancellation of service via phone and getting cut off mid call , then sending and email and also trying to chase via web chat which I also sent my request for cancellation and then move out two months later . They keep the account open 🤬

  • VenusEnvi VenusEnvi (@VenusEnvi) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia what’s the point of asking me to text when I’m ready to set up the new hub if your going to deactivate the old one before I’m ready!! Good job I have unlimited data on my mobile network!!

  • alanmayeruk alan mayer (@alanmayeruk) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve just been on the phone for the second time today, this time I spent 40 minutes only for a voice to come on and say “we won’t be able to talk to you today, please ring after 8am tomorrow” Your service is an absolute disgrace!!!

  • themercerway Sandra Mercer (@themercerway) reported

    @virginmedia Tried midweek with no joy. I’ve been on the phone for 3 and half hours today. Phoned three times to be cut off each time after over an hour. I want to cancel and we’ll now be beyond our contract date. Absolutely livid at the awful service!

  • JonjoLavin Jonjo Lavin (@JonjoLavin) reported

    @virginmedia absolutely shocking customer support. Wait time on calls....shocking. Wait time online chat....5 hours pending....the excuse of a pandemic is a worthless excuse as other smaller companies can have better customer support. Do you actually have a customer support team?

  • jbeez1989 JoshB (@jbeez1989) reported

    @AlastairGodwin @virginmedia Must be a server outage. Same problem here.

  • SteveBowran Steve Bowran (@SteveBowran) reported

    @virginmedia @Rob_Stirling @virginmedia why not put out a general virgin media service not available message (sky sports not available) on all of your social media channels. Been very hard to find any admittance that there is an issue despite many many customer complaints

  • DEPtones 🇩🇪 DEPtones ⚒️ (@DEPtones) reported

    @amsquared @virginmedia This is happening more and more and the inability to fix it promptly is just not good enough. More money wasted on something we can't use. Times are tough and people look forward to these matches, and pay money that is hard to come by. Shameful from inept Virgin.

  • pbrett7 philip brett (@pbrett7) reported

    @virginmedia hello? Can I please get some assistance, I want out of my contract ASAP, the disgraceful customer service you offer takes the piss for the price paid and the currently poor product being offered

  • Alex_Rae95 Alex Rae (@Alex_Rae95) reported

    @virginmedia @Walthall32 Same here, cut out at 1727 this evening and haven't been able to login since, working fine before then.

  • EspieRachael Rachael Espie (@EspieRachael) reported

    @virginmedia this is a disgrace your forums are full of people in my position- you can’t get through on the phones to speak to someone to cancel, online chat can’t deal with it and you can’t just cancel DD as it could affect credit rating. HOW do I cancel?!

  • brodiemg Brodie McGregor (@brodiemg) reported

    @virginmedia I'm trying to log into my account and the site keeps crashing. Do you have a problem?
