    @virginmedia I have to say @virginmedia are one of the worst companies to contact if you have an issue. Their message system is a joke and accounts a shambles. @skyuk is looking a better prospect!!!!

  • TheTomothy Tom Hogan (@TheTomothy) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia better have a good explanation for this but likely this will never be answered and all my years of bills and loyalty mean absolutely sod all. @bt_uk and @SkyHelpTeam Any good deals on broadband? And can you promise you wont vandalise my home & connection randomly?

  • JGrenvillewood Joshua Grenville-Wood (@JGrenvillewood) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia fix your WiFi services. Can’t even get the tv to connect let alone a phone or a laptop. Terrible WiFi

    @virginmedia Hi - I'm in Rg22 and Internet has been down since about 11am - do you have an eta for when this will be fixed? Thanks

  • skearney7 Stuart Kearney (@skearney7) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia Not really. I have made arrangements to bring my account up to date and close it as I am a responsible person. However as a result of the U Switch service not working. I have paid you £150 extra for a service that I have not used. So from my point of view I am very frustrated

  • gooner64 arsenal (@gooner64) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia I would really appreciate a phone call from yourselves to resolve an issue that is becoming frustrating to which my wife can not continue to work from home 😡😡

  • MatildaDr Joanne Wells (@MatildaDr) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia you used to be great, but now not so great. I lose my internet connection far more frequently now. There’s an error when I try and change my package online. I’ve phoned customer service now I have to call tomorrow as your systems are down for changing packages

  • pilot_paul Pilot_Paul (@pilot_paul) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @ianmills99 @virginmedia No internet in RG21 either. Cannot even get on to the service page on my mobile

  • fayeharland faye harland (@fayeharland) reported from Woolhampton, England

    @virginmedia hi there not sure if you can help. We’ve been trying to contact my Uncle for a few days on his landline and it’s going direct to the message service. We’re getting quite worried about him and wondered if it’s possible to see if there’s a fault on the line?

  • CathyTVNews Cathy Alexander (@CathyTVNews) reported from Thatcham, England

    What's the problem @virginmedia ? No broadband all day in RG18. Work day wasted. Your signal check says "problems" but no updates. Can't get thro to customer service.

  • karlbenk Karl bentley (@karlbenk) reported

    @virginmedia disgusting service left without home phone for days told yesterday would be a engineer coming and we was given a new phone number and told would work within 24hrs fobbed off again by virgin media

  • BerkeleyCannon Berkeley Cannon (@BerkeleyCannon) reported

    @virginmedia Last time I rang your numbers on another issue I ended up being charged as the call took longer than an hour, this update should be seamless, but it is not, how do I return this as I’m happy to remain as it was and have little faith in your new product

  • Dave_A12 David (@Dave_A12) reported

    @virginmedia Could I have some help with a virgin mobile order please? Have contacted yodel about this order but have been advised to talk to you.

  • StevenPape Steve's autism. I'm possible, not impossible (@StevenPape) reported

    @virginmedia The forums are a no-no. I follow the link and then log in, it takes me to the Virgin Media home page. When I try to get to the forums from a logged in page it gives me HTTP status 400 - Bad request. Looks like you have more to fix than I thought.

  • longlaneroyal SOUTHBANK 1️⃣ 8️⃣ 7️⃣ 1️⃣ (@longlaneroyal) reported

    @virginmedia FFS there couldn't be a worse day than a Saturday when its pissing down that your TV and internet packs up...annoying isn't the word! #compensation

  • objectwizard I write spells (@objectwizard) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, I was told on the phone to Virgin Media customer services that there are longstanding slow speeds due to an ongoing fault that started in February. Yet I was never actually informed about this. This is a breach of contract.

  • PATVOne1 P.A.T.V. Scunthorpe (@PATVOne1) reported

    @robcfcmcgee @virginmedia @KerrangTV Nothing to do with Virgin. Ongoing issues from last Saturday mean their playout provider, Red Bee, are still trying to get their systems back up and running. As The Box is working, it is being used a back up service for its sister channels (as this also effects Magic and 4Music).

  • bud4519 bud (@bud4519) reported

    @virginmedia broadband not working in kirkintilloch

  • Clawmaw Claw (@Clawmaw) reported

    @virginmedia It is fixed now. No doubt it will be down again soon though. It seems to be down more than it is up. 🙈

  • dammothesetter Damian Elcock (@dammothesetter) reported

    @virginmedia Had perfectly good signal and yet again the chat crashes. Not a good look for a communications firm
