  • SmithysMaud
    Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia are an absolute joke. Was told to call back at half 6 and guess what? They’re shut! And again, no engineer visit. Getting cancelled 1st thing in the morning. Over a month of total loss of service, piss take. #avoid

  • Radebreast
    Graeme Radebe (@Radebreast) reported from Ormskirk, England

    @virginmedia what have you done to the Sky TV app - its constantly buffering and showing error messages. Just awful service. Please can you get this sorted ASAP please.

  • Radebreast
    Graeme Radebe (@Radebreast) reported from Ormskirk, England

    @virginmedia Hi - Ive noticed alot of people are having the same issues. Its the Sky TV Go app on Playstation 4. Ive checked it on another internet and it works fine so it is definitely an error on your side. You need to sort the internet settings. It struggles to load “on Now” on the app.

  • ShanklyBob77
    Ian Hawksey (@ShanklyBob77) reported from Aintree Village, England

    Absolute nightmare trying to watch @SkySportsF1 on my phone because of how poor @virginmedia are especially since merging with @o2, used to just put email and password in, now going around in circles with same message asking me to verify email link and switch, very poor practice.

  • CallyRaven
    Carol Rowles (@CallyRaven) reported from Westhoughton, England

    @virginmedia And our Internet is down again this morning! So because its intermittent we don't get compensation, tried to call, can't get through (have to do it on mobile, our 'landline' is now internet reliant!)

  • BLTwitchy
    Berni Turner 🖤🌹 (@BLTwitchy) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia No I’m not an idiot it was during covid I’ll go back and find it . The chief execs office rang me personally as I’m disabled

    @virginmedia Mine has just gone down now. I can’t ring via the virgin phone because the phone is connected to the hub.

  • TimmyJ1972
    Tim Jackson (@TimmyJ1972) reported from Garston, England

    @virginmedia To be honest, the issue is an intermittent fault. My wife works from home and the broadband just drops out numerous times a day. Then comes back on. It’s only worthwhile doing a remote test if it’s when it drops out. Otherwise all will look fine

  • SmithysMaud
    Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia can someone help me please? I’m about to lose my ****. Never ever known anything like this company. Now telling me lies on WhatsApp. Saying i logged an issue weeks after engineers had already been out to find the fault. Refusing compensation after 4 mths no service.

    Nicola Bates (@Nicolajb87) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Im not free no but shes managed to get a whats app going although the numbers they are giving her are not working. She just wants her phone to work.

    @virginmedia Or put me through to a manager or try to be remotely helpful in keeping me as a customer, im trying to sign an 18 month contract to give you money every month which I could just give to someone else I will not let this lie till i have my money back!

    @virginmedia your red button service is absolute dogshit you either get the wrong commentary or it doesn’t even come on! 🤯🤬

    Lesley Murray (@les_murray71) reported from Wallasey, England

    @virginmedia @joshyw0shy Its the whole of the Wirral by the sound of it, no statement from Virgin, just telling hundreds of customers to check for an outage, only have to look at their twitter to see how many of us have been told the same thing

  • realjackoh187
    Jack Kelly (@realjackoh187) reported from Widnes, England

    @virginmedia Just wifi, the phones tablets tv all just going off randomly. I have now booked a technician but I have been doing the troubleshooting for 2 days and its saying the issue is being fixed. Its only today they have said to send a technician

  • EmmaZhaan64

    @virginmedia All internet is down, wireless and wired; the hub light is white and it’s a Hub 3.0.

  • John_Kelly17
    John Kelly (@John_Kelly17) reported from St Helens, England

    @CruisingTheCut I’ve had very few issues with virgin media - depends if you need TV though. Otherwise I’ve heard very good things about over the air using the three network or EE.

  • les_murray71
    Lesley Murray (@les_murray71) reported from Wallasey, England

    @MarkKav15119614 @virginmedia Well my bills ain't getting paid today so will get charges, anything i try to do on apps / chrome not working, twitter on and off

  • supergran22

    @virginmedia In this room have always had problems but just not like today. The router is just over 2 metres from box.

  • realjackoh187
    Jack Kelly (@realjackoh187) reported from Widnes, England

    @virginmedia Visit was fine replaced wifi. I was never out of Internet completely like it says only your compensation page, but it was equally as bad since my step daughter had online training to do which couldn't be done at all. My children also were not able to do homework.

    @MrBenGrant @virginmedia Ditch them, I did last year. Switched to community fibre, borrowed my mates apple box and now I pay £19 a month instead of the £95 Virgin was going to charge. They even make cancelling tortuous and intrusive. Horrible company with horrible customer service.

  • celestialdawwnn
    Katy ☆゚.*・。゚☆゚☾ .⭒˚ 🐈‍⬛🌌🌙 (@celestialdawwnn) reported

    @virginmedia It states there is an 'intermittent signal'. Does this mean an engineer is looking into it?

  • AlbertRamsbott1
    Albert Ramsbottom hyperboreansocialist. (@AlbertRamsbott1) reported

    @anon_opin I keep getting calls from supposedly Virgin media. They ask me for customer number, I say I don't know, well if you'd just like to log into your account. No I wouldn't. Well, can you confirm you address,no you tell me, you should have it in front of you. Then they hang up

  • MojoTomSpring
    Tom Fahy (@MojoTomSpring) reported

    @SuzieD755164 @RTEOne @virginmedia Weak men created bad times, bad times create strong men, strong men create good times.. that’s what happening now, the incompetence of these elites has pushed us into the dark ages.. now people are rising to bring back common sense and stability

  • Afcgunner_1886

    Virgin media genuinely might be the worst company out there,want to watch footy at 4pm and their box is down,what a joke @virginmedia

  • hrcastle
    HRCastle (@hrcastle) reported

    @virginmedia Since 10am I have been trying to speak to someone to see if there is a problem in my area, or whether I need an engineer out. I have had phone calls from the complaints department, but still, no answer. Why won’t you confirm this?

  • leemanchester05
    Lee (@leemanchester05) reported

    @virginmedia Internet has been down for a few hours in Salford, hope it’s getting fixed soon!!

  • Lincsforest
    Mark Whelan (@Lincsforest) reported

    @virginmedia your installation of my new broadband is turning into a mockery of a sham! No communication, no professionalism, a complete lack of customer care! A VERY UNSATISFACTORY WAY TO CONDUCT BUSINESS! Your chatbot is also incompetent! @Ofcom #poorcustomerservice

  • AlloquiStrix
    Alloqui Strix (@AlloquiStrix) reported

    @virginmedia Still no refund though! Seems like what you said about registering an outage (which I did on the website) - and my in-law's registered as well, resulted in nothing being refunded to either. When should this be expected?

  • DillB1976
    Dylan Brown (@DillB1976) reported

    @virginmedia my account has been locked for 2 weeks now, I keep getting told it will be resolved but nothing is happening, apart from me spending lots of time on the phone to people who can not or do want to help.
