    @virginmedia can you help my mum and dad they have had no telephone line since yesterday. The internet also went off but that seems to be back on now. It’s vital we get the phone on asap

  • lurkinhead
    Martin Travis (@lurkinhead) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia There's no point raising a complaint is there, as you won't comprnsate? Other reputable oroviders offer a back-up 4 or 5g device to kick in if their main broadband goes down, to keep the service running. Not VM though - it's just all really poor customer service innit?

  • lurkinhead
    Martin Travis (@lurkinhead) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @BlaggerBly @virginmedia Seems to be Wirral wide at least, and I think Liverpool is affected too. VM should be massively compensating their affected customers for this, but they hide behind their terms and conditions where they only deem it reasonable to compensate if the outage last more than 3 days!

    @virginmedia No. Can’t get through. I’ve just submitted a complaint

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia Thats just an update to say they are dealing with the issue, people want to know what the issue was and why it is taking so long to repair, there is a continuous extension to repair time and your customers at least deserve detailed information

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

    @virginmedia Yes got the update thanks but not helpful receiving a text to say issue resolved, service has been off for 14 hours now, any background to reason why? Its a massive area to be out with no explanation

    @virginmedia how am I supposed to run an online tutoring business from home when your system goes down twice in a day ? #payingmorebutgettingless

  • 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.

  • timmycooke
    Tim Cooke 🇺🇦 (@timmycooke) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia Both wired and wireless. We've had 8 engineers out, a rewire, new hub and still endless drop outs. Was told finally it was an upload issue from the amp that supplied the box on the street. But still we're having issues. The 150 number is joke, make it simple!!!

  • GaryBan47314801
    Gary Banks (@GaryBan47314801) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia This is not the first time. The service the last 12 months has been shocking And now you're asking for the over the top increase in monthly payments 😡😡😡

  • JemimaCamhs
    Jemima (@JemimaCamhs) reported from Garston, England

    @virginmedia Hi, will this continued investment mean finally getting signal in my area? It’s a central area and the signal is awful. Thanks

  • jgrailpics
    James (@jgrailpics) reported from Liverpool, England

    When will I be able to go just one single day without @virginmedia failing, cannot wait until next year when the contract is over, increase the bills but reduce the service to next to nothing?

  • AckerHeron
    Tony (@AckerHeron) reported from Liverpool, England

    Hi @virginmedia, my dear old mum has been on the phone for 20 minutes because her broadband has gone down. Your advisors keep saying to reset the hub and disconnecting before it's sorted. Any ideas? Still using the crap one you sent years ago despite her recontracting

    @virginmedia advice please! I’ve been a customer for over ten years and am also an o2 customer and my account is now going up by another £12 per month on a pretty basic package! Phoned twice and been told that someone will get back to me with a new price package - still nothing

    @virginmedia If my bill went down with my speed, I wouldn't mind.

  • sabrevan
    Brendan (@sabrevan) reported

    @virginmedia - broadband down for the majority of the time since Wednesday night in KT2 area. “Helpline” says the engineers are looking into the problem. Surely you can give a straight answer. Sky and Vodafone are offering same speeds. Should I move?

  • Csihra
    Carol-Ann Sihra (@Csihra) reported

    @virginmedia Open a complaint which doesn’t get replied too. Phone calls promising a follow up call which doesn’t happen. Terrible customer service

  • mikegormley2003
    Mike (@mikegormley2003) reported

    @virginmedia WIFI been down for a few days, engineer comes, says he can’t fix it and leaves. No proof he was here and nothing to say he’ll fix it! Shockingly poor service DD5 1EJ

  • UKDan86

    @loldiplo @virginmedia I'm not defending them, i'm just calling you stupid.

  • IrishBlackOps19
    Pro-Irish🇮🇪🍀🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@IrishBlackOps19) reported

    @virginmedia The worse broadband company ever. I’ve been a customer for nearly 10 years and just lately the broadband is shocking. It looks like I’ll be going to a new company and never coming back to virgin.

  • PeteBradders
    Pete Bradbury (@PeteBradders) reported

    @virginmedia @NatGeoUK I have been a customer of yours for 25 years and upon the most recent contract renewal, you denied the package I opted for because it was for 'new customers only' and then went on to charge me with a bill for £124! A colossal 34% increase! Loyalty means nothing!

  • rouse_sue
    Sue Rouse💙 🇺🇦 (@rouse_sue) reported

    @virginmedia I have Netflix as part of my deal. I’ve been told 4 times that an email will be with me in 24 hours. Still no email after 8 days. Everyone promised but no delivery’s. This seems to be a regular issue.

    @virginmedia we are now over 12 hours into this issue without any meaningful update Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, services must be provided with reasonable care and skill. A prolonged outage without resolution or communication may breach this. Can you please update
