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

  • 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. 😡

  • Dazmac1882 Daz Mckavett (@Dazmac1882) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia because you are providing a service that doesn't work, i presume i can leave without a fee

  • 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!

  • mooseandme1 Moose And Me (@mooseandme1) reported from Great Harwood, England

    Cracks me up that the main feature of BT’s internet provision currently being advertised is that it breaks! And you can book a slot to fix it Why not invest your advertising budget in stopping it from breaking? Not to be smug but (touch wood) @virginmedia has never conked out!

  • scottboyle6 scott boyle (@scottboyle6) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia the worse customer services ever! Passed to 4 different departments for 15 mins only to be cut off.

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

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

  • SmartCoffeeOff1 Dave R (@SmartCoffeeOff1) reported from Blackburn, England

    What do a pay for, I'm trying to watch football on now TV and losing Internet all the time, pay for a top package and **** service, @Virgin #internet #virginmedia #broadband

  • 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.

  • Dazmac1882 Daz Mckavett (@Dazmac1882) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia Came back on early hours this morning but it's been awful for a while, same as the rest of my family I'll be leaving without a cancellation fee tomorrow

  • Shigufta1 Shigufta khan (@Shigufta1) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia Problems with my TV very frustrating not being able to speak to anyone. For a communication provider the service being offered is not acceptable

  • 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

  • courtsthomasx 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐀𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐚 (@courtsthomasx) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia My Broadband has been down for quite a few days now. I have no received any text updates and would like to speak to somebody with regards to down time and to get an ETA of when it should be back up and running.

  • gsouthy gsouthy_25 🏆 LIVERPOOL FC 👊🏼 (@gsouthy) reported from Great Harwood, England

    @virginmedia How are things?? Footpath left full of mud. Having to clean footwear off or remove before coming into the house! The whole length of the footpath in front of the houses where your workers have been is a disgrace. Not even rain has washed it clean!! Terrible standard of work! 😤

  • cheftonymulgrew Tony Mulgrew (@cheftonymulgrew) reported from Ripponden, England

    @SheilaDillon @virginmedia Vodafone not much better waited 6 weeks to have my issue sorted. Only interested in profit not the customers

  • matt_stanny Matthew Stansfield (@matt_stanny) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia It says not on there but when I call the support number there is a recorded message saying there is an issue and engineers are working on it.....been same all week.

  • Dazmac1882 Daz Mckavett (@Dazmac1882) reported from Burnley, England

    You've out done yourselves today @virginmedia It's usually poor but your broadband today has been on a completely different level of poor

  • nevynxxx nevynxxx (@nevynxxx) reported from Rawtenstall, England

    @virginmedia I understand your call centres are suffering, but 2 hours for text chat support and a phone line that 4 menu levels deep hangs up is not good enough. Massively annoyed and time wasted.

  • HolGaffneyx Hol (@HolGaffneyx) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia Still nothing, we were told 24 hours and they would call but still no call, wondering if you can tell me how long this will take? Cause I'll cancel and go elsewhere

  • matt_stanny Matthew Stansfield (@matt_stanny) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia @virginhelp any chance you can sort the internet issues in BB11, it’s a nightmare at the moment!

  • taalibah9876 Humaira (@taalibah9876) reported

  • sally_marquiss Sally Marquiss (@sally_marquiss) reported

    @virginmedia Or you could have saved me some time and just said no refunds are given for loss of TV service.

  • SAIWoods Woods (@SAIWoods) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, it is specific to my address. The engineer started pulling cables out and all sorts. Now nothing works. I need someone to come and fix it ASAP but I can’t get though on the phone

  • johnwgiven John Given (@johnwgiven) reported

    @virginhelp absolutely nothing but problems since I moved to Virgin media from Sky, I'm constantly having to phone up and get some idiot on the other line who doesn't have any incline to help me, both my wife and myself work from home and can't even get a stable connection! 🤬

  • arthurandangel Michelle Cole (@arthurandangel) reported

    @virginmedia I have not been able to access my emails for a couple of months, the 90 days is only just up!!!! I have been trying to sort this. I was told last week it would be sorted in 5 days by the tech team but nothing! The customer service is awful.

  • Parsonator Michael Parsons (@Parsonator) reported

    @AntsWoolnough @virginmedia I had the same issue, 4 hours on the phone and 2 whattsapp chats before I could get disconnected

  • nadiacruikshank Nadia 🤦🏻‍♀️ (@nadiacruikshank) reported

    @virginmedia Honestly I’m blue in the face. I’ve emailed. I’m not going through this. Not checking wires. The box is crap

  • BarryPHooper Barry Hooper MCIM FCIPS (@BarryPHooper) reported

    @virginmedia Sorry only goes so far. Sorting the problem would be great. Another day and still fighting the system.
