    @virginmedia Why is your WhatsApp chat so rubbish for the 4th time i have been kicked off. Terrible service

  • jaswinburne1 James Swinburne (@jaswinburne1) reported from Silsden, England

    @virginmedia It’s technical issues with the broadband and network stability issues. No one wants to help, I’ve spoken to 3 technicians and no one has offered a resolution. Joke

  • ianlumsden Ian Lumsden (@ianlumsden) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia I have been trying to get through to customer service for the past two days, the call is usually immediately rejected or I am told the call waiting time is an hour. I have had enough and as soon as I get through I am cancelling my account. 😡

  • lamsom Dave Gracey (@lamsom) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia Your mobile network is crap & your customer service is just as bad.

  • MATTYB00SH 𝕄𝔸𝕋𝕋𝕐𝔹𝕆𝕆𝕊ℍ (@MATTYB00SH) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia Yes it works on my phone browser, but not on laptop, so I'll just continue using that method, thanks. One more question; Why do your customer support agents ask for a security password that I use when speaking to an agent, despite being a new customer and haven't set this up yet

  • Sam_yates4 Sam Yates (@Sam_yates4) reported from Old Laund Booth, England

    @neilayates @virginmedia I believe they were the "3rd Party" that also caused the Microsoft 365 outage which killed our session yesterday!

  • braysoj1 Jonny Brayson (@braysoj1) reported from Keighley, England

    @virginmedia why is the picture Quality so bad on the sky sports red button

  • jaswinburne1 James Swinburne (@jaswinburne1) reported from Silsden, England

    @virginmedia No one has offered a resolution. I have the same conversation time & again.... “I have reset your router”

  • suziealderton #hellomynameisSuzie (@suziealderton) reported from Silsden, England

    @virginmedia absolutely rubbish service since we left @skytv and went over to you. Tv/broadband/phone off again on the whole of our estate-not much help to people working from home. Wont be renewing our contract with you, and will be checking how soon we can cancel!

  • wightpie Wightpie (@wightpie) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia So why then a) does it specify postal and b) not provide a field for mobile number. At best it’s misleading and at worst incompetent

  • lamsom Dave Gracey (@lamsom) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia There’s absolutely nothing wrong with the phone, I can travel to different areas and get 4 bars on my phone and it works no problem, the problem is in the area I live.The reception always used to be fine but for quite some time now it’s been awful, I currently have one bar.

  • NJWesthead NJW (@NJWesthead) reported from Rawtenstall, England

    @virginmedia Broadband/TV outage until 2:35pm but can’t register a loss of service as page doesn’t load. On 4G so problem is with you. Why advertise you’ll compensate if there’s no way to get it?!

  • hossfitt Paul Cartwright (@hossfitt) reported from Keighley, England

    @virginmedia I have contacted live chat just now outage apparently estimated fix time 14th June rediculous that can't watch TV or work from home

  • IamAbulShelby 𝔸𝕓𝕦𝕝|𝕊𝕙𝕖𝕝𝕓𝕪 (@IamAbulShelby) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia @BexInfante mine is now not working at all

  • hossfitt Paul Cartwright (@hossfitt) reported from Keighley, England

    @virginmedia hello area 14 is there an issue as had no internet since 2pm I have all the checks etc 5 times I can't book an engineer so normally an issue, I work from home not ideal and no way of watching TiVo either without internet

  • WainwrightDean Dean Wainwright (@WainwrightDean) reported from Accrington, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for fixing it this morning, I trust given I’d no service for circa 36hrs I’ll see a credit upon my next bill?

  • bazza_bee78 🚩Bazza B 🏴 (@bazza_bee78) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia Waiting on an engineer now, none available until Saturday pm. That will be over 3 days without any service.

  • wightpie Wightpie (@wightpie) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia Also given that link is for postal marketing how exactly does that help with phone calls? As it stands your systems are non-compliant

  • bazza_bee78 🚩Bazza B 🏴 (@bazza_bee78) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia No mention of any temporary resolutions or any form of compensation for the loss of service

  • suehutton Sue Hutton (@suehutton) reported

    @virginmedia as ever, tests are run. Sometimes there's a report that there may be something wrong with the hub, sometimes everything's fine. We're continually switching it on and off it seems. Also problems with TV reception on ITV3 and TIVO wanting to record when we don't. Others tbc

  • clebeuva Carl (@clebeuva) reported

    @JudgeDewie @virginmedia Absolutely ridiculous these companies, I am having the same issue with another organisation :(

  • niamhmcalinneyy niamh mcalinney (@niamhmcalinneyy) reported

    @virginmedia yes! 3 times today. your customer service does not want to help. only come on twitter to find a customer service who actually cares to fix this problem. virgin media is out of my house as soon as! but you team doesn’t want to even transfer me to the cancellation services JOKE

  • Steve_mcmaster Steve McMaster (@Steve_mcmaster) reported

    @virginmedia Hi there - 4 fraudulent accounts taken out in my name, at an address which I have never lived at, which then defaulted and are now listed on my credit file. This is now blocking a mortgage application and we’re at risk of losing our house.

  • SimonButcher76 Simon butcher (@SimonButcher76) reported

    @virginmedia Each time your team said they would update the system. I work on trust that if they say they will do this they will keep their promise. Its either a system limitation or a training issue?

  • eZnow1337 easynow aka Barry (@eZnow1337) reported

    @virginmedia no thank you, I am only ever going to speak to anyone at your company again for when I cancel everything. Terrible service, no loyalty, abysmal.

  • zakchamb Zak Chamberlain (@zakchamb) reported

    @virginmedia Yeah I have done all the troubleshooting I can. Service status says it’s all fine and there are no problems 🤔🤥

  • lorrainejambor Lorraine Jambor 💙 (@lorrainejambor) reported

    @SkySportsGolf Hi is there a problem with the red button coverage? Using @virginmedia and there is no sound just a loud ringing tone.
