    @virginmedia Your TV and internet services in BS8 Bristol are still down! When is this being resolved!? #VirginMediaoutage

    @virginmedia any issues.. Np199gf ? No internet.. and yes I’ve checked everything 1st

  • SteveMowat4
    Steve Mowat (@SteveMowat4) reported from Weston-super-Mare, England

    @virginmedia Both those lights should be green. Any red lights mean there is a network fault either on a cable or on the box to which the cable screws into. Now please tell me, what is so difficult to send someone out to investigate that??

  • gillih
    Gill Harrison (@gillih) reported from Bristol, England

    Hi @virginmedia I want to cancel my account. Still waiting to speak to someone after > 1 hour. Advice please?

  • MaartenSleeckx
    MaartenX. (@MaartenSleeckx) reported from Victoria, Wales

    @virginmedia Clearly not as the issue keeps coming back after multiple engineer fixes outside AND in my home. You're lying through your teeth and leaving me in the dark literally. Stop hiding behind "standard business" replies, be human and help me.

  • neilcairns
    Neil Cairns (@neilcairns) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia @EGX virginmedia where can I email to complain? My VirginMedia Box won’t let me delete a number of things and my Internet is patchy at best! £83 a month for this ****? Every time you call you people you’re on hold or cut off!

  • bethkorf
    Beth Ryan (@bethkorf) reported from Kingswood, England

    @virginmedia Its done now but fairly sure it shouldn't take your agents 45 mins to cancel sky and bt sports and change the TV package to the basic. Maybe more training or better systems are needed. Just saying Sky took about 3 minutes to cancel BT sports for me a year or so ago #competitors

    @virginmedia I was told to wait in this morning between 8am - 12pm for an engineer to fix my broadband. It's now 2pm and no sign of an engineer. I was told I'd be charged £25 if I missed the appointment. I think I should charge you for having to hang around for 6 hours waiting.

  • AcuharmonyUK
    Acuharmony-UK (@AcuharmonyUK) reported from Clevedon, England

    @virginmedia No reported issues. Tried the fixes before, and so did virgin chat. Not just my handset, other people are having the same problem. Am I going to have to change networks, is that what you're saying? Due to the change to O2?

  • williamjbrown
    william brown (@williamjbrown) reported from Bristol, England

    @O2 @virginmedia Shame you can’t even cope with the odeon cinema tickets every week counts down to time then all I get is “something went wrong”

  • CloudHQ

    Internet outage in Bristol BS14 / BS4 @virginmedia please give a status update

  • derbypascal
    Derby Pascal (@derbypascal) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia The service checker just says its down but doesn't tell me what's going on.

  • algro10
    Al (@algro10) reported from Clevedon, England

    @stewartcarter6 Appears it’s a Virgin media issue , shambles

  • LetRIP
    Matt (@LetRIP) reported from Thornbury, England

    @virginmedia Yes. That isn’t the point though. Your website has no information about how to contact you. And your web chat takes 1 hour to do the task of reporting bad speeds. Your contact support needs vast improvement.

  • DerShru
    Der Shru (@DerShru) reported from Bristol, England

    Saw a Sur rune drop but the internet suddenly cut out. @virginmedia does it again. #D2R

  • gillih
    Gill Harrison (@gillih) reported from Portishead and North Weston, England

    @virginmedia John I have done all that already. And it’s not worked. I have spoken with my IT support and they confirm this is a problem with your servers. How are you proposing to sort this out for me please?? I’m paying for a service @virginmedia is not providing.

  • fin_father
    Dave T (@fin_father) reported from Weston-super-Mare, England

    @thewson72 @virginmedia Great when on. So much faster than anyone else. But useless service when it’s down.

  • nongrockle
    Trevor Whiteman (@nongrockle) reported from Bristol, England

    @JuanaWhiteman @virginmedia Zero customer service

  • lou_dare
    Louise Dare (@lou_dare) reported from Ringland, Wales

    @virginmedia we are having issues NP19 we’ve rebooted and checked wires.. been on and off now for few weeks. What’s going on please ??

  • thelee_x_w
    lee williams (@thelee_x_w) reported from Cwmbran Central, Wales

    Word of warning avoid @virginmedia 4 wifi like the plague. I rarely get even 20% of advertised speeds & the CS team are next 2 useless. Paying 4 daily disappointment that upsets the kids. Will never go back 2 them ever. Worst service I ave ever received @EE was so much better

    @virginmedia been a customer for over 12 years and given you approx £12k - Is there any chance you can replace my 6 year old hub 4 - which is old technology now.

  • bhavinnagda
    Bhavin Shah (@bhavinnagda) reported

    @virginmedia on 150 and 50 mins plus. You say its better to go on vm chat but that is not working. Are you guys working on saturday or saying we can contact virgin between 8am - 8pm was just a lie

  • tayloralicex
    Alice (@tayloralicex) reported

    Anyone else know how to fix this @virginmedia keep billing me when I’ve given my notice to leave? Each staff member I try to contact about tells me something different and it’s a lot of money that will come out of my account which I cannot afford #virginmedia

  • malhal
    Malcolm Hall (@malhal) reported

    @bazzaclem @virginmedia If you use their whatsapp chat bot and choose cancel it’ll offer a new customer contract pricing probably a bit lower than £26.99 but contacts are now 2 years (They say to save you having to use the chat bot every year but I don’t find it that much of a hassle!)

  • old_stephen
    Stephen Old German - English Translator (@old_stephen) reported

    @virginmedia Cannot log into VM again. Were you born useless or did you have to practice? I am going to change to another provider which has better customer service. I am told that Sky customers only have to make a phone call to get help.

  • jeffsmithspurs
    Jeff Smith (@jeffsmithspurs) reported

    @virginmedia Hi I’m desperate to talk to someone regarding my broadband as it’s cancelling but I need it to continue. I cannot get through on WhatsApp, phone or through the chat. Can you help this is critical for me. I’m a long term customer and have been on hold for two days!

  • flower15218
    Dave Flower (@flower15218) reported

    @virginmedia They can call me when they know they’re coming down and I can take them to the cabinet. Might be easier 👍

  • StephenOld
    Stephen Old #FBPE (@StephenOld) reported

    @virginmedia So, since the technological geniuses who run your company, who don't think they need to provide proper customer service or physical shops, have made changes which mean I can no longer receive blueyonder emails or phone calls - tell them they will have to write 2 me
