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

    @JooMarsden @virginmedia It appears it’s gotta be all our road .. surely others have reported an issue too hence it needs to be addressed rapidly lots of stressed and angry customers I’d imagine #notimpressed

  • briggsym matt (@briggsym) reported from Wickford, England

    @virginmedia how can I complain about internet reliability from your service. It has been appalling and inconsistent and seriously considering moving to another provider.

  • Bomber_RBS ML Shelton (@Bomber_RBS) reported from Gravesend, England

    @skytv @virginmedia get your fecking **** together and agree a deal with @disneyplus

  • 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 ?

  • 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!

  • bultifish Nick Bultitude (@bultifish) reported from Gravesend, England

    Hmm, #Skyglass is looking like a decent option if this #virginmedia outage becomes a habit.

  • owensirons93 Andrew Owen (@owensirons93) reported from Corringham, England

    @virginmedia any reason why you still haven’t fixed our phone lines? Been down for 3 months now so I’ll be expecting a reimbursement. Also expect a reimbursement due to the fact your failing to supply the minimum download speed

  • 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.

  • 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 🤬

  • 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

  • statusquo44 Peter Fudge 💙 (@statusquo44) reported from Canvey Island, England

    @leonagraham @virginmedia Yes, the issue is you’re being denied internet access 👍

  • kec1964 Kate Crisp (@kec1964) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia hi I have 2 WiFi boosters that I’ve never used and would like to return them but can’t face hanging on for hours to speak to someone on your helpline. Is there an address you can give me?

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

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

  • _iancollier Ian Collier (@_iancollier) reported from Gravesend, England

    Hey @virginmedia why does it take sooooo long to call you guys? Spent 45 mins on hold waiting to be transferred to department who can help me with my phone line problem. I gave up. Help!

  • tolu_____ Tolu (@tolu_____) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia How about just provide me a link to download the less than 10mb of pdf? Admin fee to provide a link or email a customer of over 3years? What have you offered me in return for the many times of INTERRUPTED service when I’ve had to turn to my mobile hotspot?

  • JayLeeKenyon Jamie Kenyon (@JayLeeKenyon) reported

    @_JamieOGrady @molsmae @KombatImmortal You need to be an o2 customer or a virgin media customer mate to log into their priority to get one. Don’t just get codes unfortunately.

  • DavidMcClelland David McClelland (@DavidMcClelland) reported

    @Mike__Polak @BBCOne Virgin Media also has to migrate its customers from PSTN to digital voice (ie VoIP); in the event of a power cut the Virgin customer’s router would lose power, so yes, in same boat. Virgin does also have provision for battery backed-up emergency calls via cellular network.

  • DanielG57062781 Daniel Graham (@DanielG57062781) reported

    Anyone else attempting to cancel their internet contract at @virginmedia and only being offered a new package and then disconnected? This is literally the worst company for customer service and providing a service I have ever had to waste my time on - NEVER USE VIRGIN MEDIA!!!!!!

  • DanielG57062781 Daniel Graham (@DanielG57062781) reported

    @virginmedia I have no faith you will - 12 months been paying premium for poor internet - now 3rd day in attempting to cancel my contract via whatsapp but your staff offer me a new package and then disconnect even tho i explicitly ask for the ending of my contract. Not even half of the story.

  • WendyJB47 Wendy Brion (@WendyJB47) reported

    @virginmedia Thank you - I have cancer and this is so stressful I just want to cancel and you guys make it so hard

  • WendyJB47 Wendy Brion (@WendyJB47) reported

    @virginmedia It’s ridiculous to get through can you give me address I need to write to to cancel please

  • Donatedparts Steve Austin (@Donatedparts) reported

    @virginmedia You have discontinued my package (old loyal customer) put me on a different one without asking, you say is the same, but I lose 'talk 08 2' which I had for life.

  • Jack_Rodgers Jack Rodgers (@Jack_Rodgers) reported

    @virginmedia You cut me off at 11pm last night, and then text me this morning saying my new service is activated,plugged it all in and nothing. It needs activating from Virgins end, but they’re telling me I have to wait 4 hours for a technician to call me…someone wfh and it’s less than ideal

  • joe_ch1p Joe Chip (@joe_ch1p) reported

    @virginmedia WHERE CAN I REPORT AN OUTAGE

  • mattmacdiarmid Matt MacDiarmid (@mattmacdiarmid) reported

    @virginmedia Disconnections. It's ok, you can't do more than you can do. We've sent a formal letter of complaint in, so I'm sure we'll be contacted on that basis at some point in the next year or two
