  • alternativeage Alternative Ageing (@alternativeage) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia It’s happening way to regularly. I’ve lost a whole days work up to now, do I get compensation? Spent an hour yesterday morning sorting out yet more issues as a result of the outage over the w/e. 🥲

  • sara_saehasti Sara (@sara_saehasti) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia Honestly I'd rather not as we have called so many times and get different call centres. Get cut off and can never speak to the otmriginal care team. Please can someone call us considering this is part of our compliant

  • mattiem1976 Matt (@mattiem1976) reported from Sompting, England

    @virginmedia Been reaching out for 6hrs on your app and still not resolved a basic problem @TradeStandards

  • wavell_mark Junior (@wavell_mark) reported from Hove, England

    @virginmedia how come after nearly 3 days is my internet not working?? How do I claim compensation for this??

  • MarkCherrie Mark Cherrie (@MarkCherrie) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    So far I’ve had three promised appointments from @virginmedia but sadly three no shows. We’ve had intermittent broadband for about 6 months now and just can’t seem to get the problem fixed.

  • etinton Elliot Tinton (@etinton) reported from Shoreham-by-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I’d just like to cancel now please. Is there someone I can speak to to arrange?

  • mattiem1976 Matt (@mattiem1976) reported from Sompting, England

    @virginmedia It's fine I am going to cancel my contract as the offer to retain is disgraceful when compared to offer from others

  • sara_saehasti Sara (@sara_saehasti) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia Did you read the message, I don't want to call or use whats app ad uve spent far too long doing this already. So I'll have to complain in writing then it seems. Shocking service yet again you do not read whta a customer is saying.

  • garypleece Gary Pleece (@garypleece) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia No it was the ‘general area fix’ (my engineer was cancelled by Virgin) which was then followed up with an email that said ‘everything is sorted’ which it was, until today when it was in and out again for hours. It’s ok now, but for how long?

  • garypleece Gary Pleece (@garypleece) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Yep it’s still bad. Sometimes ok, a lot of the time not. Can someone look into it for me please.

  • etinton Elliot Tinton (@etinton) reported from Shoreham-by-Sea, England

    .@virginmedia so how do I get in touch, speak to someone, get issues resolved?? No response anywhere.

  • sara_saehasti Sara (@sara_saehasti) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia With all due respect I can't face another encounter via the phone or WhatsApp, far too time consuming. Could you provide me with an actual complaints email address as the online submission doesn't work

  • Angelsirius1 Angel sirius (@Angelsirius1) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia Hi, i am having some issues with the youtube app, i spoke to youtube they said to try uninstalling reinstalling the app, something i am unable to do as you provide this. It will just not load a video or whilst a playlist is playing it goes black.

  • michelle83mj Michelle83mj (@michelle83mj) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia This link doesn't work

  • MarkCherrie Mark Cherrie (@MarkCherrie) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Andy has now told me that the work was never rescheduled for today. This really isn’t very good.

  • palewis1 Phil (@palewis1) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia what a useless company after waiting a week from doing as was asked of you on reporting my fathers death I receive a letter telling me I done it wrong. I’m afraid I lost it on the phone today and when all is sorted we will be leaving you. Great bereavement service.

  • 5waysRichard Richard Williams (@5waysRichard) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Yes it seems to be ok, but I don’t understand why it would be going down every day between midnight and 1am

  • garypleece Gary Pleece (@garypleece) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia They couldn’t fix it last Saturday… It’s been better today, but still up and down at certain times. Def not fully fixed

  • brighton_gay Christian 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 🏳️‍🌈 🇺🇦 🖖🏼 (@brighton_gay) reported from Sompting, England

    @FuriousCoops It’s a major BT Open Reach outage which many non-Virgin Media companies piggyback their connectivity through.

  • 5waysRichard Richard Williams (@5waysRichard) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia why would my Virgin internet go down at about 0045 every night ?

    @virginmedia £245!!! It is grossly unfair. I’m exhausted by you. But it’s okay. I’ll ring you again today ask to raise a complaint (you still haven’t done this) and speak to a manager for the 5th time. And then if you don’t budge I’ll complain to @ofcom & Cisas about policy & service.

  • markonthehoof Mark Allison (@markonthehoof) reported

    @virginmedia Ok - will just be extremely irritated if it is just a holding letter trying to close the complaint due to alleged no response from my side.
