  • Gav_Leaf Gav Leaf (@Gav_Leaf) reported from Castleford, England

    @virginmedia I work in a customer service contact centre. If any of our agents were as unhelpful as any of your channels there would be disciplinary procedures. Every single time I've dealt with Virgin it's the same. An insincere apology and advice that I already know.

  • yamu06 Yamu Matarr (@yamu06) reported from Leeds, England

    Are you having issues again #virginmedia

  • ChrisGibbs9973 Chris Gibbs (@ChrisGibbs9973) reported from Wakefield, England

    Umpteen time @virginmedia and to top it off your pointless app can't even shed any light on the subject. I realise that times are difficult but you can't even watch free TV once you lot go down. I never get a rebate and I'm quite pissed off again. You seem to be able to connect

  • awswain Anthony Swain (@awswain) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia seems to be issues with the on demand and other apps restarted v6 box and router got nothing

  • loonylankylegs 🇬🇧Russelena Jessie🇬🇧 (@loonylankylegs) reported from Barnsley, England

    @virginmedia cannot get through to you to sort a tech issue which has lasted 6months & need to change bill. Tried via a text chat & phoning! Useless service, sort yourself out please

  • BennyLarks Ben Larkin (@BennyLarks) reported from Wakefield, England

    @haseeb1986 I did not laugh... quite liked the idea. And was a victim of this stupid virgin media thing last night!

  • sameer_shxh Sameer (@sameer_shxh) reported from Leeds, England

    @kylemaguire93 Virgin media outage across the whole of UK 😂

  • girishsolanki Girish Solanki (@girishsolanki) reported from Leeds, England

    @SureshChohan @virginmedia No phone line either , and internet is still down

  • RhysDRFC Rhys 🇦🇹 (@RhysDRFC) reported from Doncaster, England

    Bit ironic that their name is virgin media considering how much they go down on me.

  • WingedAsarath Charlotte Mather (@WingedAsarath) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia Internet is back but patchy. My Cisco VPN for work has been disconnecting and reconnecting periodically all day as the service fluctuates. Luckily I've been able to work around it for now, but it does concern me as I have some very important international meetings coming up.

  • tiertwofooty Below the Top League (@tiertwofooty) reported from Doncaster, England

    @virginmedia Any chance of a couple of hours without an issue during this lockdown, kids crying & all sorts here, again

  • itsmats86 MJS (@itsmats86) reported from Garforth, England

    @virginmedia I’ve been trying to get in touch to cancel but not getting anywhere. Please get in touch.

  • WingedAsarath Charlotte Mather (@WingedAsarath) reported from Leeds, England

    Looks like Virgin Media internet is down UK-wide. And Animal Crossing won't play ball with my phone tethering to visit a friend's island. Guess it's time for a bath until this is fixed.

  • N3CR0M4NC3R Daniel Barnes (Mr.N3CR0) (@N3CR0M4NC3R) reported from Leeds, England

    Well it looks like I'm now going to have to TETHER so I can actually use some internet on my PC seen as @virginmedia is STILL down in my area. Now all this is gonna come out of my data allowance @O2 , brilliant

  • WingedAsarath Charlotte Mather (@WingedAsarath) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia Hi, no it's been saying everything is fine since the last time I was able to access it (as you can see from my initial tweet the webpage was also down and inaccessible during the main outage last night)

  • jasdeepdegun Jasdeep Singh Degun (@jasdeepdegun) reported from Leeds, England

    .@virginmedia I’m sorry but your internet service is absolutely shite 😡

  • hoppywba Hoppywba (@hoppywba) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia Are tv services down in Leeds 9 area. Been going on and off last 2 days

  • huggybecky_1975 Becky Nicholson (@huggybecky_1975) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia we also ordered an upgrade to M200 on 12 Sep 2019, but it's clear that's never been actioned. Bit pointless though if I cant even get M100 speeds.

  • itsmats86 MJS (@itsmats86) reported from Garforth, England

    @virginmedia constantly poor broadband speed again today.

  • yamu06 Yamu Matarr (@yamu06) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia. What's happening to the WiFi. Its not working. Reboot twice and still nothing. No info on the app. #virginmedia

  • Jamiemo03045622 Jamie moore (@Jamiemo03045622) reported

    @virginmedia tried to action my cooling off period over the phone, was passed round 5 departments and then cut off, tried your WhatsApp chat they wouldn’t help, then tried again over the phone still not had any confirmation of my cancellation

  • davidedmunds David Edmunds (@davidedmunds) reported

    @virginmedia So can I check, you want me to post on a community forum, is this purely because virgin do not have a solution? If this is the case then why am I being charged for a service that you are able to deliver correctly?

  • DannyWyattXXX Danny Wyatt | 🏳️‍🌈🇬🇧 | $5 OnlyFans (@DannyWyattXXX) reported

    @virginmedia hi. ive had the price increase letter, im looking to either cancel the services or upgrade to 1gig BB, with the hub5 if a deal can be arranged.

  • SR_ARUN_ SR (@SR_ARUN_) reported

    @virginmedia Nothing else. Money looting. Now price hike also. Worst

  • Meader83 David Mead (@Meader83) reported

    @virginmedia I would like to cancel due to price changes.

  • xxNJKxx Nikki Kennedy (@xxNJKxx) reported

    @virginmedia Each time I was asking a question she would reply with an answer that didn’t relate to what I was asking and then she cut the call while she had me on mute. I complained via WhatsApp and the the messages I got in response were rude, said he would raise a complaint…

  • wilksy04 Marc Wilks (@wilksy04) reported

    @virginmedia Been 'chatting' to your bots for over 45mins and no solution. Texting the same question at least 5 times!now I have a 4hr wait on WhatsApp! Joke of a service!

  • bleedingrose_88 Kim Hamilton (@bleedingrose_88) reported

    @virginmedia We have daily drop outs of internet we stream, video calls, Netflix/Disney etc and game online.We have to reboot the hub weekly to get back online which helps temporarily,this has been consistent since January 2021,the hub has been moved we have a booster and still having issues

  • WendyJB47 Wendy Brion (@WendyJB47) reported

    @virginmedia Is that number the same as the WhatsApp service?

  • kttymagician kittymagician (@kttymagician) reported

    @virginmedia This is now targeted harassment and I’ll be honest with you I don’t take kindly to being targeted repeatedly. LET US GO. WE DON’T WANT YOUR SERVICE. THIS MAKES US FEEL IT WAS THE RIGHT DECISION TO LEAVE.
