  • jimmysteamboat

    @virginmedia Can you confirm if service is down in the M4 Manchester postcode? Us and Neighbours wifi not working when we are WFH!

  • JoshuaBurns
    Josh B (@JoshuaBurns) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Yes, tried last night and your service status page was actually down. Today I checked and it showed no issues, I run the diagnostic and no issues either. Came back up late this afternoon.

  • _AdamGardiner
    Adam Gardiner 💙 (@_AdamGardiner) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia You’re not understanding. I do contact when the issue is happening, your advisor then fixes it, but it then happens again within 24 hours. I need a ‘once and for all’ fix. Not this whack a mole approach you’ve had so far.

  • PaperInky

    @virginmedia I’m not a VM customer.

  • GoaterBilly
    Billy Goater (@GoaterBilly) reported from Strines, England

    @virginmedia well done, after over 10 years with you, Virgin Media have sunk to the their lowest level of service and support ever. Roll on November and the end of my contract. Appalling, ignorant, clueless, almost as bad as BT.

  • mark001282
    Mark Armstrong (@mark001282) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia As I say. I don't like publicly shaming a company that was once good. But your customer service is an absolute disgrace

  • SurrealPaulT
    Paul Terry (@SurrealPaulT) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia hi Virgin. We had an outage of broadband and TV services beginning 23rd Sept which lasted for 4 days. At the time we were told we would be compensated for this loss. As it hasn't come off our latest bill, how do we claim?

  • MCR_ADM
    Adam🍺 (@MCR_ADM) reported from Stockport, England

    Been on a live chat to Virgin Media since 9:30. WFH joys. Not much work has been done. But got my bill down. #CozzieLivs.

    @virginmedia Not as yet. Just that my postcode seems to be affected when checking service status

  • nathantalbot
    Nathan Talbot (@nathantalbot) reported from Urmston, England

    (Test) Is anyone experiencing a virgin media Internet outage in B9?

  • blokealex
    alex. (@blokealex) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Complaint is about billing after cancellation, your staff refusing to process my request to cancel and being told a different thing every time I call back… it’s been awful.

  • NeilAshtonActor
    Neil Ashton (@NeilAshtonActor) reported from Stockport, England

    @jimmyoates @virginmedia Same James. Same area and it’s not been working for an hour. It says on their website no issues in the area but not had any service.

  • acailler
    Adam Cailler (@acailler) reported from Manchester, England

    @JournoBird @virginmedia We've had it cut out twice for a few hours, but that was related to the ridiculous heat and they fixed it quickly. I realise everyone will have different experiences 🤦

  • JoshuaBurns
    Josh B (@JoshuaBurns) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia I will. 2nd week in and these kind of issues is worrying considering my partner needs a connection to work from home. How long do I have to switch providers is it 30 days?

  • SiManM20
    Simon Manning 🇪🇺 - SiManM20@mstdn.uk (@SiManM20) reported from Manchester, England

    @nrgloz @virginmedia Your paying 75% of what we are for 35% of the d/speed there. Neighbour has just switched to Brsk - it’s full #fttp so 1Gb both up/down rather than the 52Mb UL Virgin offer via DOCSIS. £40pm

  • AckersStorm
    Chris Atkinson (@AckersStorm) reported from Middleton, England

    @virginmedia when will the broadband issues be fixed properly in my area?

  • sharper76
    Smyth Harper 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇺🇦☘️ (@sharper76) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia No it’s not, and it has now transpired that your customer services agent told me a direct lie that there was a fault in my area when there is not. Someone else has now booked an engineer to come out - next Wednesday. I can’t even have my heating on as that’s controlled vía wifi

  • OldhamBradd

    Not another outage? #virginmediadown #VirginMediaoutage @virginmedia

    @LeedsViking @virginmedia Ignore it mate, like their customer services will your question.

  • ravipal1214
    Ravi Pal (@ravipal1214) reported

    Your agent kept asking what resolution I wanted, then offered £5. Twice I was reminded how cheap my package is — that others pay £50-60, that pods cost £10-15 elsewhere, that I’m getting them free. I didn’t set the price. A discount on a service that doesn’t work is still service that doesn’t work. Then I was told no manager or grievance contact exists, and that I should cancel. @virginmedia — who owns this?

  • JacquelineBolto
    Jacqueline Bolton (@JacquelineBolto) reported

    @virginmedia How do I report the broadband outage? You chatbot is hopeless

  • BrownEyedGirlGB
    Trina S 💙 (@BrownEyedGirlGB) reported

    @virginmedia Today it went at just before 11:00 whilst I was trying to complete probate online. After service check said no issues, then fault with kit, it settled on intermittent issue in your area. 3/?

  • TomQuante
    Tom Quante (@TomQuante) reported

    @virginmedia You won't answer your phone (apparently this is a tactic you use..?) and I am not paying my increased bill. Cancelled my DD with you so I will let you chase me instead. Your customer service is still terrible

  • glamour_by_ash
    Ashling (@glamour_by_ash) reported

    @TheMandyGall @virginmedia @rte Are you thinkin gof virgin media 10 years ago? They are just as bad if not worse now as people still have some faith in them

  • AntimagicBones
    Anthaily (@AntimagicBones) reported

    "Hey, the wi-fi is down?" "Uhhh... oh, yeah; Sara said something about turning our Virgin Media into problematic media." "Oh, God."

  • 2cakesdakes
    twocakesdakes (@2cakesdakes) reported

    @virginmedia Customer since you started. Trying to renew package and being told its £63 . Same package for new contracts is 30 ******* quid cheaper. That's £720 over a 2 year contract.
