    @virginmedia sort your **** out. No service at all since half 8 last night. Wirral CH41 area

  • NatashaVic
    Capitã Nat (@NatashaVic) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Can I speak to a human, please? It’s impossible to speak to anyone here. I paid for my bill via bank transfer more than a week ago and it hasn’t been registered. Phone service is not recognising my password and I can’t find a live chat.

    @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.

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

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

  • andrewjmcgill
    Andy McGill (@andrewjmcgill) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia I have been without broadband all day, a day after you sent me a letter about price increases, an increase for what, even poorer service!!!!

  • Parleyyyyyy
    Josh (@Parleyyyyyy) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I’ve just done that. If you watch the video though you’ll see it doesn’t even let me get to the login page. As soon as I click on virgin media customer it tries to take me to a website & then closes down

  • davetarl
    Dave Tarleton 💙 (@davetarl) reported from Wallasey, England

    @virginmedia I want to cancel my contract as it is at the end. Twice now I have been kicked off the chat whilst waiting. This is unacceptable. I can't ring at present so the chat is ideal to run in the background. I just want to press a button that says end the contract!

    @virginmedia The nightmare continues!!! Buffering is now a way of life for us. As is watching any programme on a streaming service in short two minute bites!

  • 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.

  • Robertlfc_
    Rob (@Robertlfc_) reported from Liverpool, England

    Sort your awful Wi-Fi out @virginmedia

  • supergran22
    Maureen StewartJones (@supergran22) reported from Eccleston, England

    @VirginMedia Received message. Now not accepting my email address. I have one only. My problem is with the remote control which is activated by pressing 2 buttons when they light up. Have had nothing but trouble with one remote for one TV. Your communication us not helpful.

  • Its_Sal_Queen
    Sarah Hill (@Its_Sal_Queen) reported from Liverpool, England

    Would love to be able to start work @virginmedia, but the Internet is down.

  • 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.

  • supergran22
    Maureen StewartJones (@supergran22) reported from Eccleston, England

    @virginmedia I'm not sure this is the 3rd box. It's the one with the router in same room. Re advice remotely got message saying problem could not be solved.

  • obpls1995
    owen southworth (@obpls1995) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia can you explain why the moment I told your staff over the phone that I was disabled they decided to speak to me as if I was an idiot and then tell me they can't help me because I can't spell out my password despite telling them 5 times what the password was.

  • NdawanaY

    @virginmedia Too many service drops. Engineer has been to properly to fix but this persists.

  • EmsydilemsyL
    Emma Latham (@EmsydilemsyL) reported from Liverpool, England

    @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

  • Robertlfc_

    @virginmedia Absolutely shocking service . Broadband and TV down since electrical storm on Thursday morning. Not fixed despite you saying otherwise. You keep cancelling the engineers to come to my home.

    john (@jhargie4) reported

    @o2 @Virgin @virginmedia CEO Lutz Schueler your organisation cannot send me my Complaint Deadlock letter yet quick enough to SMS details of upcoming events and tickets that’s available. Where is your customer care!!!!

  • KrisTaylor1992
    Kris (@KrisTaylor1992) reported

    @ryantegan @skytv Cancel, then sign up in your partners name as a new customer. I do this with Virgin Media. I went from £58 to £28 and kept me as a customer. Best case retentions will offer you a better deal, worst case your partner gets new customer discounts.

  • Ndola19
    Dips (@Ndola19) reported

    @moonpeach212 @virginmedia Hey, VM will not sort anything out. I have spent so much time trying to sort out my issue as O2 failed to apply my Volt benefit. VM claims they have done everything while O2 claim they are waiting for VM confirmation. They drag the issue out hoping you will go away

    @Joyevnm @virginmedia Exactly the same tactics here. Delayed weekly since 27 July. Now on Day 26 with absolutely no service and no useful information. @virginmedia

    @virginmedia @JohnMac22756388 We can read what the text says but why are people getting it who haven’t reported a problem and please don’t talk about DM s we need to send because nobody at virgin can ever help when we do !!!!

  • VirginMediaNews
    Virgin Media News (@VirginMediaNews) reported

    Prince Harry, Elton John and five others have been ordered to pay an initial £9.5 million to the publisher of Britain’s Daily Mail following their failed privacy case. The group had accused the publisher of unlawful information gathering - claims it denied. The judge found there was insufficient evidence to support the claims and said there was a possibility the reporting came from legitimate sources. The £9.5 million payment must be made by August 28.
