    @DisneyPlusUK @NPGLondon @virginmedia better sought out the local outage for this. Wait, I can watch on my tablet via the app you say? Not unless they also sought out the WiFi issue. Call them to complain you say? Not unless they sought out the landline issue...😐

  • Nicole_Baker NicoleMichelleBaker (@Nicole_Baker) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England

    @virginmedia Then was told a booster would be delivered that never arrived. So when I called back it hadn't actually been ordered. I finally received it yesterday but am still waiting for a call back following a complaint I made and the charges I am not willing to pay for the booster.

  • Knitswithbeer knitswithbeer🐝🏳️‍🌈Stay Home (@Knitswithbeer) reported from Euxton, England

    So, apparently been without all @virginmedia service ahain today, without warning, when Hubbs was supposed to be working from home. No projected resolution until 10pm; WTF am I paying for? Seriously?? 🤬🤬🤬

  • Nicole_Baker NicoleMichelleBaker (@Nicole_Baker) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England

    @VirginMediaCorp @virginmedia please contact me, it is imperative that you do. I have received zero customer service from you for a service I pay over £600 a year for. I would like your retention and technical team to make contact asap.

  • Nicole_Baker NicoleMichelleBaker (@Nicole_Baker) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England

    @virginmedia I've spent three hours over two calls waiting for you to confirm a discount on my below standard broadband and to deliver a booster. I have had to escalate a complaint as it couldn't be resolved on the phone yet I'm still waiting for the level of service promised!!!

  • SammyKnowlesX SJK (@SammyKnowlesX) reported from Banks, England

    @virginmedia I’ve spoken with someone in the new development team who’s advised they’ve escalated all my complaints and someone should be ringing me directly to take through and fix everything. However no response

  • Bismurff Lauren Fox (@Bismurff) reported from Warton, England

    @virginmedia having issues in the Warton area... been trying to call but there's no answer - all the online help did nothing. Are issues happening everywhere? #virginmediadown

    @virginmedia still holding 1:24 mins later. Your customer services are shocking

  • SammyKnowlesX SJK (@SammyKnowlesX) reported from Banks, England

    @virginmedia And no response on my second, and then an incorrect bill, this is why someone is meant to be ringing me to sort it out and deal properly as I’m so angry with the service received

  • Libra_Comms Ali Gudgeon ✍🏻️ (@Libra_Comms) reported from Preston, England

    @virginmedia The problem with the search facility is that it brings up multiple episodes but none of them have dates on. This needs addressing please!

  • RichardShead Richard Shead (@RichardShead) reported from Richmond, England

    @flying_cafe @TW11Harbour @virginmedia To add that’s on their website that they have updated regularly with timescales. Admittedly without the reasons for the outage.

  • NedKell99403028 Ned Kelly (@NedKell99403028) reported from Lambeth, England

    @EdieKelly25 @virginmedia Go outside and flag down a Virgin van, and get them to fix it. It's the only way, you get to talk to anyone. Their customer service is shite!

  • TicTac1985 Suzanne D Edwards (@TicTac1985) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia this awful service is part of the reason I'm leaving. Over an hour of trying to get told lines are busy, no queue or anything just call back later

  • stevegoodman Steve Goodman (@stevegoodman) reported from Nuneaton, England

    @andrew_kemp @bt_uk @virginmedia To be fair to VM I get excellent service round here. No FTTP available from BT though - I think the best I get is a paltry 16Mb/s. However the customer service.. not so good.

  • RichardDPoole Richard Poole 🔶 #Kohler4Wimbledon (@RichardDPoole) reported from Merton, England

    @virginmedia Hi. I’m very well aware of the fault, the causes and the hard work your engineers are putting in to the fix the issue. All I and thousands of others want to know is a realistic timeframe to be reconnected. If we know it’s going to be days we can make alternative arrangements.

  • RachaelGreenyer Rachael (@RachaelGreenyer) reported from Kingston upon Thames, England

    Day three of no WiFi or TV. Bit of a joke now @virginmedia #virginmediadown #VirginMediaoutage Do us a favour and give us a real fix estimate 😤

  • AnghellKim Kimberli Anghell (@AnghellKim) reported from Kingston upon Thames, England

    Damn this #virginmedia again. I pay every month a lot of money and still now 3 days without internet and TV! And I'm sure that they will charge for this too 😡😠 #mad #needtowork #notnormal

  • chrisTstraker Chris Straker (@chrisTstraker) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia a still waiting for TV & broadband to come back into service !! Any ideas, other than the 4pm, that I’ve been told for last two days 😱

  • ali_bateman Ali Bateman (@ali_bateman) reported from Richmond, England

    @virginmedia Everyone gets that. But changing the estimate 5 minutes before twice is poor. And give a realistic estimate in the first place so we can make alternative arrangements.

    @virginmedia Please stop sending me this template message! It is of no value to me as a customer!
