    @virginmedia are you down again in M20? Hub flashing red again.

  • Samuel_J_Mc Sam (@Samuel_J_Mc) reported from Timperley, England

    @virginmedia customer service is so ****. They just transfer you round to different departments

  • hall291 Pauline Hall (@hall291) reported from Halton, England

    @virginmedia how am I supposed to run an online tutoring business from home when your system goes down twice in a day ? #payingmorebutgettingless

  • tonyj01 Tony Jacobs (@tonyj01) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia seems to be down nationally. 1: tell us status 2: tell us when back on

  • gbmcfc GLENN (@gbmcfc) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Well you find I'm cancelling my contract with yourselves, hope you go bust, your customer service team is a shambolic embarrasment. Loyalty works both ways.

  • Karamonkey1 Weirdly even older fan (@Karamonkey1) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia And the sum total of welcome texts I received during my 7 night stay in Jamaica was 189. I never moved from the same hotel. I often got 4-8 texts whilst sat at the same restaurant table or in my room. @virginmedia get your act together

  • WCONNOLLY2512 William Connolly (@WCONNOLLY2512) reported from Manchester, England

    @beverleyturner @virginmedia Virgin Media had gone ****. Poor broadband, crappie TV channels and half don't even work.

  • johnsonhomes2 johnsonhomes (@johnsonhomes2) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia If that was the only issue than yes that would be the logical next step. But as you’ll see from the previous tweets and email sent on Wednesday it isn’t. All the issues need dealing with in the round or otherwise I’ll have to cancel and go back to sky.

  • johnsonhomes2 johnsonhomes (@johnsonhomes2) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia Her phone like works at the moment because she has power but not in a power cut. This is one of the issues set out in the email which VM requested I send on Wednesday

  • johnsonhomes2 johnsonhomes (@johnsonhomes2) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia The guy I spoke to at VM yesterday said that she wouldn’t be eligible for a “disabled” phone line to be installed because it wasn’t claimed when they dug the front garden up 18 months ago. We were never given this as an option at the time, if we had we would have insisted on it.

  • anttaylor23 Anthony Taylor (@anttaylor23) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia The what's app line is fine, your advisers don't seem like they want to keep me as a customer. Well not for a decent price anyway 👀

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

    Every time speak to @virginmedia @Virgin customer service I die a little bit inside #emogirl

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

    @virginmedia I spoke to your customer service team on 2nd January who advised all issues had been resolved and my sim card was being sent out by royal mail delivery. Even with any postal delays out of your control it seems odd that it hasn't arrived.

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia I've been a customer for 10 years. Is this how your treat your loyal customers?

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

    @virginmedia Don't give me your copy and pasted waffle. You have done nothing to help. You have been an absolute thorn in my side! "I'm so sorry you feel this way" is such an outdated and terrible response from a marketing point of view btw.

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

    @virginmedia you have caused me nothing but hassle for months now. Your customer service team are completely useless.

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

    @virginmedia In the orders and appointments section it says there are none. The text I have received confirming the appointment and threatening me with a £25 fine is different to the one offered to me by your customer services.

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia I’ve just connected a new router for faster speeds and it isn’t working. I’ve called up and your customer services person who told me contradictory information, put me on hold and then hung up on me.

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • adampreedy Asp1 (@adampreedy) reported

    @virginmedia I am in and endless loop trying to sign into my sky sports app getting error IDF-12B. I can't get to actually speak to someone as your automated call decision tree is so bad. I'm paying for a service I can't currently access. Totally unacceptable

  • LewisGillett Lewis Gillett (@LewisGillett) reported

    @virginmedia outage again in Nottingham. Reminds me I must switch to another provider soon because Virgin Media is unbelievably unreliable.

  • YamesAlexander yames (@YamesAlexander) reported

    @burningfury247 @virginmedia Go to downdetector and compare Virgin Media with sky or BT, it's terrible. Planning on switching soon.

  • JWilko1983 Wilko (@JWilko1983) reported

    @virginmedia your customer service is appalling. Nearly 5 hrs of phone calls in a month to try and sort my account, from the incorrect package, inability to link my virgin media/O2 ID to my account number to watch Virgin TV Go to now promised phone calls that don’t materialise

  • WardFish5tony tony (@WardFish5tony) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, I'm still having problems logging into my sky sports app on my phone. I can watch every channel on the TV go app for virgin media including TNT sports but it still won't allow me to view sky sports.

  • Bullpup2 Samantha Stancomb (@Bullpup2) reported

    @virginmedia Yes...but it doesn't go into mine. I had to sort out a new Virgin media/O2 login, download the app, get a message ten times to Gmail to click on, get a code to my phone, put in account information and get access to my husband's account!

  • mcfcfxp Mcfcfxp (@mcfcfxp) reported

    @virginmedia Virgin Media Outage Update - ID: F011915097 We're pleased to tell you this issue is now fixed. Best wishes, the Virgin Media Team Yet it’s still not working

  • notdiprincess diana smith (@notdiprincess) reported

    @virginMedia Please can anyone give a phone number to contact Virgin Media that will be answered by a person. I’ve tried their chat bot thing sent in a direct message to no avail. They close down the chat saying resolved but nothing changes

  • Leftdoubleclick Ruth Whalley (@Leftdoubleclick) reported

    @LutzSchueler @O2 @virginmedia Dear Lutz, we are desperately trying to re ew our contract with you …it is impossible to do this on line! We have been passed around from this person to that person. Please can you help yes ?

  • JJAMESSTEVENSON 𝙹𝙰𝙼𝙴𝚂 𝚂𝚃𝙴𝚅𝙴𝙽𝚂𝙾𝙽 🎮 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@JJAMESSTEVENSON) reported

    Think it might be time to move to @SkyUK from @virginmedia over 20 years of service & this is the worst it has been broadband down nearly everyday & takes weeks for "Repairs"
