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

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

    @jenwahkiddles @virginmedia Pity they didn’t do it for us, had no tv or broadband for over 3 months and can’t even get the compensation they owe us, plus the direct debits they took knowing we had total loss of service. Shambolic company.

  • 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?

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia Okay, but with respect, the problem is your call centre say different stuff every time, which inevitably bears no resemblance to reality. Later, VM deny those conversations ever took place and there is no written evidence to back up what was agreed. That's what I am after here?

  • Billzy79
    Billzy (@Billzy79) reported from Liverpool, England

    @Jacedafaceis @virginmedia Yes. Been out to lake district, and 4G mobile phone signal was quick and more reliable than the broadband. And people thought it was normal.

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

    @virginmedia 3 times in 3 weeks we are without internet! We are paying for a service we are not able to use! Are we going to be compensated for this?

  • 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.

  • 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 😡😡😡

  • tomrushton88
    Tom Rushton (@tomrushton88) reported from Haydock, England

    @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!

  • Robertlfc_

  • JohnMurphy9172
    murf (@JohnMurphy9172) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Just managed to get hold of someone, and apparently after over 10 years of no problems I now need WiFi boosters at an extra cost to myself all of a sudden, they couldn't tell me why just trying to squeeze more money out of me

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

    @virginmedia I reported a total loss of service on 31/8. It was finally fixed this morning. After no shows, lies and weeks between visits. They have not even offered to cover the cost of my last 3 dd’s which I wish I hadn’t paid as I had no service whatsoever

  • LindzDDub
    Lindz Devine (@LindzDDub) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia I never have any issues when it comes to my laptop, though. Just my PS5

  • cbray72
    Christopher Bray (@cbray72) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I think so yes there's definitely a issue of some description as it keeps happening all the time

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

    Davie G 🇬🇧 (@fredbeare) reported

    Do @EE have any actual humans, other than those on commission in sales, working for them? Almost as bad as Virgin Media, certainly worse than @BT who seemed to have taken the worst from both companies and merged. Are there no good comms companies out there?

  • shardon1980
    Shardon (@shardon1980) reported

    @virginmedia Issue still not fixed . your compensation is £10.34 a day . What about subscription services like Netflix etc . I’ve had to use data from my phone to work, this is unacceptable in an age where everything is WiFi. Also no contact from your team. This is a major issue in the area

  • 1bigtrev
    Trevor Hambley (@1bigtrev) reported

    @biggle1908 I changed to Virgin media for that same reason. Very happy customer.

  • cochap
    Colin Chapman (@cochap) reported

    @virginmedia when do you expect to get issue sorted in the ML2 area. Virgin been down for over an hour?

  • dide_oluwa
    Dide (@dide_oluwa) reported

    @virginmedia Search shows no outage in my area How do you explain the lack of cell signal on multiple devices using your network

  • JonHar1985
    Jon H (@JonHar1985) reported

    @virginmedia why the hell has my Internet been intermittent for over a week and after today was supposed to be the “fix” date, it’s now updated to say next week? Literally can’t work due it dropping out. Imagine there’s no compensation for you turning to **** though, hey?

  • gazi1684
    Gary (@gazi1684) reported

    @virginmedia @rayquannnnnnn Is there a problem in the wallsend area with broadband?

  • JacquelineBolto
    Jacqueline Bolton (@JacquelineBolto) reported

    @virginmedia My private messages don't appear to be being sent. Am having to use phone data to message you. We live in Surrey. Not prepared to give my postcode here. No Internet since 5am. Independent sites say there is an outage that would cover our area.

  • paul_wingrove
    Paul Wingrove (@paul_wingrove) reported

    @EDFofficiel Customer support at EDF UK shows a level of incompetence which is worse than Virgin Media, and God knows VM is utterly useless.
