  • mallen_87 Matt Allen #StayHomeSaveLives (@mallen_87) reported from Horwich, England

    @virginmedia They keep closing it and I have to start from scratch. The issue is that my contract and my sales agreement are different. I thought I was getting somewhere last night when an advisor told me they’d get a manager. Instead they closed my chat

  • TheICC_Sandra Sandra Jane Eyre (@TheICC_Sandra) reported from Southport, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for your reply, the issue is the cable from our house to the road. Needs a construction team, I understand it may take a few weeks but zero comms. Everything I call the tech dept they want to sell me a booster!

  • NickyRobbo80 Nicky (@NickyRobbo80) reported from Blackburn, England

    If 2020 was an Internet provider it would be @virginmedia Solve the problem of losing IP address by restarting router. It was restarting the router that caused it. Restarted anyway and now the router won't connect to the Internet and all devices say no IP address #stressed

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

    @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...😐

  • TheICC_Sandra Sandra Jane Eyre (@TheICC_Sandra) reported from Southport, England

    Feeling let down AGAIN by @virginmedia, 8 days ago an engineer finally identifies the problem is external cabling, another hour call on Tuesday and still no idea of a fix date or a call back, in the meantime constant broadband drop out #unacceptable

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

    @virginmedia Still nothing, we were told 24 hours and they would call but still no call, wondering if you can tell me how long this will take? Cause I'll cancel and go elsewhere

  • 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

  • sarahpinnock Sarah Pinnock (@sarahpinnock) reported

    @virginmedia Absolutely no service since 1.45pm yesterday. No tv no broadband no phone. You surely know about this problem? I believe Burgess Hill and Haywards Heath are both out. Virgin media engineers and vans have been seen around here. Your status page says all is well which frustrates!

  • AkashSR123 Akash R (@AkashSR123) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve not had properly functioning WiFi in weeks, have called customer service last week to be told engineer coming out and a complaint has been lodged. A week on WiFi is still rubbish, not even a peep regarding an engineer and no follow up on my complaint.

  • TGeezeer TechGeezeer (@TGeezeer) reported

    @virginmedia No one can call you to report it. My neighbour has issues with virgin and so does my mother 1 mile away. It must be area related please investigate BR4 area

  • JsChopra0 Jayyy (@JsChopra0) reported

    @virginmedia 4-5 days of calling and waiting and speaking to the managers, I get the blame on my devices, “They dont know how to help” and “wait for us to monitor” and a manager that gives a solution complete full of costs @richardbranson WOW to @virginmedia #worstbroadbandever

  • ShahFalgu Falgu Shah (@ShahFalgu) reported

    @virginmedia our internet has been out for 24hrs+, we’ve spent over 3 hrs on hold or on the phone with customer service and we just got a text to say someone will come over on Dec 30th. Can someone please help us????? It’s Xmas and we have no internet, tv, or phone 😭 #xmasruined

  • DemelzaMayx Demelza May (@DemelzaMayx) reported

  • venomstrike The Plague Dr is in (@venomstrike) reported

    turns out its not twitter for once its virgin media playing silly bastards again seriously how ******** do they charge what they do and offer a service that is either dodgy or down more than its stable

  • andyedwardsUK Andrew Edwards (@andyedwardsUK) reported

    @virginmedia Yes all reported and your “very sorry...” but can ask why the service is down, questions are being asked by my employer. And I’m asking if BT although slower speeds offer a better service

  • beyhlani lovely and gay (@beyhlani) reported

    @virginmedia Yeah, I have the hub 3 box and the WiFi light is lit up green, the power light is flashing green and I have ran all the tests and done all troubleshooting steps. Nothing is working. I have tried to phone twice and been sent a link. Can I actually speak to someone who can fix it.

  • CunliffeTina Tina Cunliffe (@CunliffeTina) reported

    @virginmedia Struggling to get in contact with the support team. The problems are the internet in one room keeps cutting out, that room has a booster. Every couple of days have to keep rebooting the modern. We have rebooted the modern 7 times in 2 weeks
