    After the long outage overnight, @virginmedia was back online but is now down again. Any chance of you fixing it before we all need our connection for work in the morning? Asking for all your disgruntled customers. #VirginMediaDown

  • PieFaceMark
    mark (@PieFaceMark) reported from Poplar, England

    Absolute nightmare with @virginmedia arranging new package. Since agreeing package deal yesterday I've received FOUR different emails telling me I'm gonna be paying four different amounts, all higher than what was agreed. Absolutely terrible customer service and real headache

  • Ashley_Rhysss
    #AshTag (@Ashley_Rhysss) reported from Southwark, England

    The service from @virginmedia is utterly dreadful. Had Wi-Fi issues so they sent someone out to rectify. Worked for 2 days then the same issues started again. Not had working Wi-Fi for the last 3 weeks. If your thinking of going with them for tv / internet, go with someone else.

    @virginmedia Though I am dyslexic I have painstakingly done this on multiple devices and have photos to show It - not posting them publicly but it does not recognise that password 😢 A search on line suggests the problem is not unique. I have one hour to call the manufacturer if you advice.

  • WhiskyOneIce
    Mark 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@WhiskyOneIce) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia Yes I have chased and chased and spent 4 hours today on WhatsApp, no advise just can't help because I have outstanding bill....no the line isn't active because it was ported over to Community Fibre on 8th July

    @virginmedia No as I look after an elderly lady with parkinsons on Thursdays which means she doesn't get to get out of the house if I don't see her. So it's booked in for Friday. What help doninhave till then? Or reimbursement? I'm free every day after 3pm & I'm free Tuesday all day

    @virginmedia You're internet is down *again* in sw9 and your internet service checker page does not work on mobile phones

  • strutcakes
    Chris 🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺 (@strutcakes) reported from Lambeth, England

    Called Virgin Media to complain about the TV box not working and to get it removed from my package. Somehow ended up singing another 18 month contract with the TV box included but at a reduced price. Not ideal but not horrendous.

    @IanSlaterPhoto1 @VixThatRuns I have a sizeable Samsung. Ditched Virgin Media, the plan was to have Freeview. The tv doesn’t support Freeview!

  • MiaZagica
    Baltazarka (@MiaZagica) reported from Lambeth, England

    @virginmedia Never had we have such a terrible Internet service. Absolutely NEVER. "Can't find server.", for whatever page we want, day after day. Then it finds the server; next minute - puff! Gone! Absolutely abysmal.

    @vmbusinesshelp @vmbusiness Ah, so when there will be nothing to do or see you will become interested, is that the customer service ethos at VMB? Staggering, but not surprising

  • ferdi_rezvan
    Ferdi Rezvan (@ferdi_rezvan) reported from Blackheath, England

    Your website for checking status is not loading. Can you verify if there are known issues with broadband in the se3 area. Thanks @virginmedia

    Vicky Leigh (@vickiferris) reported

    I call customer services and then told oh they do 360 boxes for existing customers but if it worked OK then the box was fine. However the email says the boz will work and look OK until it doesn't so I ask for a replacement or engineer to check it (4) @virginmedia

  • Neale1100
    Neale B (@Neale1100) reported

    @virginmedia Its says the problem will be repaired on the 27th, I assume you will be applying a credit for the lack of tv and wifi provided to those affected ? I work from home, this simply isn't good enough

  • kimtaylor18
    Kim Taylor (@kimtaylor18) reported

    I have never known a worse tv company than virgin media! Endless issues and now no tv today! Great 👏🏼 shambles of a company @virginmedia

  • _MeJAdams
    Joseph Adams (@_MeJAdams) reported

    @virginmedia And also - 20 years I've been with you guys - this morning was to renew - the whole experience has left me looking - I can get cheaper and not be treated like crap elsewhere

  • MrBenGrant
    Ben Grant (@MrBenGrant) reported

    £70 a month for broadband, but support shuts at 6pm on a Saturday. Virgin’s reliability is truly awful @virginmedia

    @virginmedia tv down in sa1 area. Site says issue was detected on the 18th, it's the 26th and it doesn't give any update?

  • SaffaJC
    JC (@SaffaJC) reported

    @virginmedia That I must got to an O2 store and fix it myself even though your team messed up my details so I can’t verify the account and you never sent a sim out. Pathetically useless service

  • theRealNickle
    Time for change (@theRealNickle) reported

    .@virginmedia made multiple phone call to report issues. Promises made, problems not resolved. Fortunately, contract is up soon.
