    @virginmedia It's not a problem at my end, and it's not just me affected. Have you really not noticed a flurry of people saying the same thing? I know people in different areas of the UK who have the same problems at the same times.

    @virginmedia can you help me please everytime I try to log in the virgin media app on my mobile account it's logs me off all the time why ?

  • stephwales_ Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia That was the original issue, the main thing outside was flooded and corroded (affecting 6 customers in street), so the network team I think came and fixed that, we've had 1 week of working service until today.

  • iggywig Iggy (@iggywig) reported

    @graemefowler @virginmedia Virgin were a nightmare when I was out of contract. They wanted to charge me loads, I ended up going FTTP. Three calls to cancel and on the last call they offered me a really good deal that I’d have probably stayed for if they’d offered that first.. Moronic.

  • Here4AMC A (@Here4AMC) reported

    @virginmedia Everyday all week it works whilst we all asleep then goes off…. We cant WFH at home at all right now all week due to this. Yet you charged us the full wack when we have not been able to use the service.

  • amandaogando Amanda O. (@amandaogando) reported

    @virginmedia @virginhelp I'm trying to cancel my internet, I don't live in Ireland anymore, I can't call, I tried via email, but they sent me a link and I wasn't successful. 😞 My husband has been trying to cancel for 3 days and he can't.

  • ashisnemo Ashley Jones (@ashisnemo) reported

    @virginmedia Strange, both my calls were answered almost immediately, it was the call handlers being obstinate that drew out the calls. The call quality was excellent both times right until they finally listened to me asking repeatedly to cancel my contract. Then they hung up

  • AstridRuzzene Ruzzene (@AstridRuzzene) reported

    @virginmedia @TheBHF @O2 13th day with no wifi... just received an email stating that service was back LOL and of course no email address to answer. If your company was ok with their service they would not be scared to have email inbox or PM via twitter. It tells a lot about how poor your service is.

  • APryceUK Andy Pryce (@APryceUK) reported

    @WhiteLionKL @virginmedia Same happened with me. Awful company

  • Dem0cracyWins Chappie Intertech (@Dem0cracyWins) reported

    @virginmedia I don't have time to sit here chatting on forums for hours on end. I've spent the best part of the day calling and I'm chatting to your online support to no avail. I have been waiting since 12:30pm for an engineer to phone me and still nobody has called. First I was told they

  • nicfrati Nicki (@nicfrati) reported

    @virginmedia Still no updates ur service checker is still saying no issues in my area despite the fact that I’m still WITHOUT any service 🙄 and yet i still have not been given any explanation other then it’s a “complex issue” this is just not good enough

  • APryceUK Andy Pryce (@APryceUK) reported

    @StuartW68981754 @virginmedia Mate they are awful. Now lodging a claim with the small claims court. Shocking service levels.

  • mas2theling Nicola Masling (@mas2theling) reported

    @virginmedia any chance i can get the service i pay for!! Customer service is shocking. Not interested at all!
