    There’s a new Hitron Chita paperweight from @vmbusiness @vmbusinesshelp - it’s expensive but the only thing it can do without going out of service every few minutes

    @virginmedia please provide an urgent update on this lengthy outage and when services will be restored #Virgin #Virginmedia #VirginMediaoutage

    Leigh Booker 🐈‍⬛ 3.5% #FBPE #FBPPR #GTTO (@leighbooker) reported from Welling, England

    @virginmedia It has just come back on. The annoying thing is your website said no problems, so I went through the usual, unplugging, checking cables etc. only for the website to be updated later. I should have learned by now.

    Dr Andrew Fleming 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Andrew007Uk) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @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.

  • Phil_Swallow
    Philip 🦅 (@Phil_Swallow) reported from Croydon, England

    @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

  • markselondon
    Mark 🌈🏳️‍🌈 (@markselondon) reported from Blackheath, England

    @virginmedia Broadband down again this morning in SE London, got through to customer services and they advised the outage expected to be fixed by 12th April. No compensation offered and I would have to pay a penalty to cancel my contract.

    Joseph Sweeney (@JosephS65112253) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia I’m going into my 5 week of problems with this crap company they say they will investigate but nothing, no compensation nothing.

    @virginmedia Hi No broadband service in CB113HG Can you please tell me what the issue is.

  • discobabe76
    DragonFish 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇮🇹 (@discobabe76) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia 9/ speak but he kept interrupting me. He had no help for me for having no internet for 6 days. He kept sighing and refused to put me through to anyone who could offer anymore help.

  • vickiferris
    Vicky Leigh (@vickiferris) reported

    @virginmedia First question - have you checked the cables. Explained a factory reset didn't solve my problem. Still telling me to turn it off again. Considering this whole issue started 13/6 and this was the solution to that problem, they have just sent me another faulty box.

  • mikey_mol
    Mikey Molfessis (@mikey_mol) reported

    @virginmedia And now your status shows a new fault reference F012311894. So if it was “resolved”, why is there a new case logged? Your way of avoiding paying penalties for an outage?

  • Biohazardboy2
    Biohazardboy (@Biohazardboy2) reported

    @virginmedia @PeteUK7 Used to punt cable and phones in Virgin media years ago. The bereavement process has always been dogshit. The amount of customers coming into store with this same complaint was insane. This was 2014-2019. Never changed.

  • LeeHodler
    TheBotfather (@LeeHodler) reported

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia I had a similar issue with Scottish Power - it’s shocking how useless these corporate pirates are..

  • Goldeneye007
    Arlington Beech (@Goldeneye007) reported

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia I am sorry for your loss. They are ******* ****.

  • MonsterMikeyG
    mike gorman💙 (@MonsterMikeyG) reported

    @JamieGBarry @virginmedia I cancelled @virginmedia after 15years last week as my bill hit £200. They offered me a decent package but I said no. Phoned me over 6 times over the next 2 days before I answered only for them to offer me a worse deal than the one I turned down. Madness

  • mikey_mol
    Mikey Molfessis (@mikey_mol) reported

    @virginmedia Well, if you close a ticket and open a new one before 48 hours has been reached, even though the problem is not resolved, nobody gets compensated right? How about calling a client before closing a call as resolved or does that not suit your business model

  • kanyonatic
    Mary (@kanyonatic) reported

    @virginmedia had issues with internet said they were sorting it and it would be ok by 6 pm well now it’s 02:39 and still no internet !!!!

  • jmanderuk
    jas mander (@jmanderuk) reported

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia Truly appalling, nobody needs this when grieving, service is dire in all sectors and worsening but there are no words for this....

  • iscpst
    Paul “2 jabs” Thomas (@iscpst) reported

    @virginmedia Thank you for the update. I am not questioning the fix time as I appreciate these issues are complex. My point is the sending of an SMS message stating the issue is fixed, but then receiving a further message stating it is still being worked on.
