  Gill Harrison (@gillih) reported 6 minutes ago from Portishead and North Weston, England

  @virginmedia @virginhelp Yes. Have done this and spoken with your ‘fault management service’ who cut me off when I was explaining the problem.

  Jonny Ex 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🇬🇷 (@jonny_ex9) reported 8 minutes ago from Cathays, Wales

  Imagine my shock that @virginmedia is down AGAIN. Please fix it

  Jacob (@j_bettany) reported 12 minutes ago from Clevedon, England

  So many scammers calling from '@VirginMedia Technical Support' at the moment. 5 in 24 hours. I've taken to suggesting they might think about getting a different job but heartbreaking to get the response, 'can you give me one?' It's basically #organisedcrime built on #poverty

  @virginmedia But the team is impossible to contact!!! And when you do get in contact it’s always someone else’s problem, ‘oh I’ll just pass you onto my colleague’ etc. I’ve WhatsApped the help number too and been told it’s a long wait and told I can ‘get on with [my] day’ - absolute joke.

  @virginmedia any chance of supporting existing customers, currently paying £32 a month but your offering new customers 25 a month. Helpline said nothing I can do as existing customer.

  Right Direction (@BackOnTrack__) reported 36 minutes ago from Cardiff, Wales

  @virginmedia I’m fuming! We were lied to by their customer service , promised an engineer this an no one turned up now been told by customer service that we won’t have one until tomorrow #nithoodenough

• 
  Sam Tempest (@SATempest) reported 38 minutes ago from Cardiff, Wales

  @virginmedia I phoned THREE weeks ago to cancel our contact, there was a dispute over a cancellation fee. A manager was supposed to call me back, I’ve rang 5 times since to check as heard nothing- each time was told ‘within 48hrs’. Move out next Friday, what am I supposed to do????

  NATALIE BALL 🛡️ (@Natalieball1984) reported 40 minutes ago from Cardiff, Wales

  @virginmedia hi, over a month ago now I was told that I would receive a cheque through the post with my refund! A refund I should of got 3months ago! Virgin Media's customer service is the worst I've ever experienced!

• 
  Ryan Davenport (@Welsh_Saint14) reported 41 minutes ago from Cardiff, Wales

  @virginmedia So myself or my wife has to spend our working day trying to get through to ypu just to be fobbed off to different departments and get no where 🙄🙄 customer service skills at best

• 
  Peter Gillibrand (@GillibrandPeter) reported 43 minutes ago from Cardiff, Wales

  @virginmedia any help? Seems a bit excessive if you’re citing inflation… a little bit of transparency may help…!

  @BO3673 @virginmedia Ours is down too, live In Taffs Well area Ref 25

  Sam Tempest (@SATempest) reported 50 minutes ago from Cardiff, Wales

  @virginmedia Can I just ask why it is that you can respond within minutes on social media (where the public can see your actions) but then in private you are ignoring your customers and taking three weeks to deal with issues? If you have agents manning twitter why can’t you pick up the phone?

• 
  lee williams (@thelee_x_w) reported 51 minutes ago from Cwmbran Central, Wales

  @virginmedia another day another WiFi outage. This really is the worst WiFi I've ever had. Legally as you are not providing the service as promised am I allowed to cancel the contract ? @CitizensAdvice

• 
  Benjamin Hartrey (@benj8min) reported 55 minutes ago from Cardiff, Wales

  @virginmedia I dunno mate, that's why I tried to call you lot. You can't help, so don't worry about it. Another weekend without TV and internet, waiting for your engineer to turn up. Another complaint. Another refund.

• 
  Paul Burnell (@Paulyb65) reported 55 minutes ago from Cardiff, Wales

  @virginmedia really frustrating morning. First day back from the holidays, stacks to do and internet has been down from minute I signed in!! Really need this back up ASAP!!

• 
  Sam Tempest (@SATempest) reported 57 minutes ago from Cardiff, Wales

  @virginmedia calling takes too long, always on hold for over an hour, and they never deal with the problem, the person on WhatsApp actually dealt with it which is why I was wanting to carry on using WhatsApp?!

  Lee Smith 🌻 (@djleekee) reported 60 minutes ago from Cardiff, Wales

  @virginmedia The channel 4 one seems a bit flakey too. The opening sting on each service plays and then some ads but on both the programmes never play so I give up and use the smart TV apps instead. I've assumed it's a bandwidth issue but I suppose if ads are playing the progs should too.

  @virginmedia can you check service in NE28 please and fix times. Internet and television.

• 
  Mr Nash (@Nasher6328) reported 4 minutes ago

  @OliverGMcManus @virginmedia Under UK law (primarily the Consumer Rights Act 2015), broadband services must be provided with reasonable care and skill and be of satisfactory quality. A complete outage lasting 7 weeks is almost certainly a breach, giving you the right to end the contract and seek a remedy (like cancellation without penalty or a refund for the affected period). Virgin Media participates in Ofcom's automatic compensation scheme for total loss of service (no internet at all via wired connection). You should already be getting ~£10.34 per day automatically after the first 2 full working days of reporting the fault. This doesn't directly let you cancel penalty-free, but it supports your case.

  @virginmedia Hi no actually because I am fed up sending messages, customer service is awful, retentions is awful and as for complaints well that's diabolical.

• 
  Frazzz (@FrazzzYT) reported 7 minutes ago

  Virgin Media has got to have some of the worst systems in the UK. Demanding money (I kid you not putting a demand for £0.00 or they will cut service and apply late fees) spoke to complaints they sorted and wiped everything. Literally two mins ago a new email demanding money >.>

  megb (@Gbarch1) reported 8 minutes ago

  @Ofcom @virginmedia virgin media has been totally down since 28th May at 10pm. Many people in my area are affected. The potential fix date has been moved forward several times. The latest is 1st June at 12. They haven't given any explanation and their Whatsapp is suspended. Help!

  Ugly Balaclava (@uglybalaclava) reported 9 minutes ago

  @virginmedia @DavidVaughan5 We have a engineer here right now and change the hub over to a new one and it’s still not working. Flashing yellow lights. This is a network problem. What is happening please? Doesn’t look like a fix will be happening

• 
  Cease Fire Now- #EndTheGenocide (@CillianMcLough1) reported 10 minutes ago

  @Galway_Dweller 👍And that's the real problem. They either have broadsheet columns or a revolving door to rte radio, TV and virgin media.

  CarryOnGemma (@CarryOnGemma) reported 12 minutes ago

  @virginmedia this has gone beyond the pale now. You already know all the issues my dad and I have had for, well, weeks now. Dad had all his recordings deleted and now his new recordings are recording and now, when he’s watched part of something he can’t go back and watch it because it says the recording has failed. This has happened on every recording. It seems to record fine then changes to failed. Get this sorted and get the broadband sorted. How @Ofcom isn’t all over this I don’t know. Pushing people to take the V6 and then a year later this happens. Shocking.

  @virginmedia When are you going to issue a formal statement on the nationwide wifi outage. Cm16 area been out since last Thursday, but for others I can see it's been a lot longer. Do right by your customers and issue a statement
