    @virginmedia My landline phone has been down all afternoon in PR25 1UJ. Have any others complained about this issue, and if you're aware of the issue, do you have an estimated time for repair. Thanks in advance.

  • Davegas2 David Walton (@Davegas2) reported from Feniscowles, England

    @virginmedia When are you going to sort out problem with red button on Sky sports, sometimes on, most times off, ongoing problem.

  • suzyk2002 Eileen Roberts (@suzyk2002) reported from Rochdale, England

    @virginmedia I pity the poor engineers who have to sort that mess out 😢

  • DavidWildJnr David (@DavidWildJnr) reported from Milnrow, England

    @virginmedia Why does you web page report ‘No Known Issues’ ? when obviously you have a massive issue with your email servers.

  • WainwrightDean Dean Wainwright (@WainwrightDean) reported from Accrington, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for fixing it this morning, I trust given I’d no service for circa 36hrs I’ll see a credit upon my next bill?

  • eccygem Gem (@eccygem) reported from Bury, England

    @virginmedia is there an issue in Radcliffe??? WiFi is down and it keeps saying incorrect password 😩

  • markdean5413 mark dean (@markdean5413) reported from Bury, England

    So had no internet now for 36 hours😡lisa cannot work from home have to rely on 4G for everything very poor @virginmedia

  • LeylandDavid David Gardner (@LeylandDavid) reported from Leyland, England

    @virginmedia Reported the problem yesterday after your response. Should have been fixed by 10am today apparently, but still nothing.

  • miteamshirts Chrissie Fuller (@miteamshirts) reported from Chorley, England

    Re Virgin Media Live TV outage. Internet still working as is Netflix, Amazon Prime and My Recordings. Catch-up/binge day!!

  • MATTYB00SH 𝕄𝔸𝕋𝕋𝕐𝔹𝕆𝕆𝕊ℍ (@MATTYB00SH) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia Yes it works on my phone browser, but not on laptop, so I'll just continue using that method, thanks. One more question; Why do your customer support agents ask for a security password that I use when speaking to an agent, despite being a new customer and haven't set this up yet

  • boardchik Katy Molyneux (@boardchik) reported from Standish, England

    @virginmedia Internet is down again!!! I don’t need this when working from home! And before you ask I have done every step you ask us to do!!

  • LeylandDavid David Gardner (@LeylandDavid) reported from Leyland, England

    @virginmedia No updated fix time, as it shows all services as green, and can't detect a problem. It asks us to phone you on 151 to do a little more "digging", but the phone line is DOWN. Oh, and the chatbot doesn't deal with landline issues apparently. Now what???

  • reg14reg Nick Poynton (@reg14reg) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia @virginmedia it’s no excuse and with the gas works I can only presume they have gone through a network cable. But I have not seen one engineer or van anywhere near the main port/box for Virgin to try and fix this since 0900 today. The time has just been going back and back allday

  • LeylandDavid David Gardner (@LeylandDavid) reported from Leyland, England

    @virginmedia How many more times, the landline is NOT working (no dial tone).

  • j_dip Jai Mistry (@j_dip) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia currently have had no broadband for the last 3 hours, I am aware the service is down in the area but do you have any indication as to when this will be resolved?

  • reg14reg Nick Poynton (@reg14reg) reported from Bolton, England

    Well @virginmedia what a disgrace! Phone, internet and tv down from 0905 to current time and now saying next estimated time back up 2300!!! Two people working from home and loss of pay for both! And now no tv for #ENGvSCO match!

  • DavidWildJnr David (@DavidWildJnr) reported from Milnrow, England

    @virginmedia This is not a fix, this is the ‘fob off’ you have been giving customers for the last 48 hours. This is an a forum and not visible immediately. DO BETTER.

  • boardchik Katy Molyneux (@boardchik) reported from Standish, England

    @virginmedia I need a wifi booster for my house, when am I able to get one? Says you’re not taking registrations anymore! The signal in my study is not the best and I need it to work from home

  • MattJB18 Matt (@MattJB18) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve already spoken to someone in technical that kept me on the phone for an hour, did nothing, then guaranteed I would get a call back about the issue, & never did. So are you actually going to refund me or have IT fix the issue? It won’t let me register with any email, 4 tried

  • ihateblades Tim Potter (@ihateblades) reported

    @virginmedia Yea it’s sorted now, I’ve had to cancel with you guys, Virgin has been no help whatsoever and your advisers just blame everyone else for my poor internet, even naming other companies that they believe are at fault. This is another customer that you will never get back😡

  • jessicaealmond J E A S 💓 (@jessicaealmond) reported

    Help please @virginmedia I’m trying to leave as moving house.... HOURS on hold and everytime I use the msg on website it times out :(

  • leyland_andrew Andrew Leyland (@leyland_andrew) reported

    @virginmedia An operator called me to talk about my issues on Monday and put me through. I was told to call back in 2 hours. I’ve been trying ever since. Your service is appalling at the moment.

  • rrobcook rrobcook (@rrobcook) reported

    @donk0802 @virginmedia Try turning on computer and next time when all hell breaks loose check see if pc can get online fine. If it can't, and it's same as WiFi, no internet, get onto virgin, don't take their **** and explain Synchronisation is being lost and it's their responsibility to investigate.

  • MattJB18 Matt (@MattJB18) reported

    @virginmedia The issues should be dealt with immediately, not ignored and fobbed off until customers give up. The issue is on your end and all you’ve done is fail to follow through on things you’ve guaranteed twice.

  • trebortlav Rob Valt (@trebortlav) reported

    @virginmedia Everything remains as last described, the app says wi-if is great, download and upload speeds remain truly awful. I have given up trying to call customer services as it is always a terrible experience

  • Joanne01998125 Jo (@Joanne01998125) reported

    @virginmedia Apparently we have a congestion issue but our connection issue has been going on 4 weeks. Not helpful when my partner is a teacher & I'm a website content creator. What's even better is u r going to increase ur prices yet have made no effort to increase the quality of it service!

  • DanielmjEnglish Daniel English (@DanielmjEnglish) reported

    @virginmedia Virgin Media internet & Tv spoke to an employee on the 02/02/2021 , 04/02/21 & the 09/02/2021 in regards to your error. I am a manager in customer service in and hands down your company is the worst I have ever dealt with. Apparently mangers take a week to call back?

  • thedogger31 george (@thedogger31) reported

    @virginmedia Nope to be honest I’ve now purchased and I’m streaming from a @vodafoneUK SIM card so dunno if I even want virgin anymore as a customer of over 20 years I expected a lot better service then the attitude of oh well
