    If 2020 was an Internet provider it would be @virginmedia Solve the problem of losing IP address by restarting router. It was restarting the router that caused it. Restarted anyway and now the router won't connect to the Internet and all devices say no IP address #stressed

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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. 😡

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Logical1966 Aaron (@Logical1966) reported from Keighley, England

    @virginmedia @virginmedia sorry this was for your service provider @YodelOnline not you

  • 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! 😤

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

    @virginmedia You bunch of bandits are putting prices up for this ****??

  • Moonstone_67 V (@Moonstone_67) reported

    @virginmedia No Internet, can't get on the app, can't get on the website and get cut off when trying to phone! Really!!! What happened to customer service @virginmedia This is totally unacceptable!

  • JanuaryJohnnsen January (@JanuaryJohnnsen) reported

    @virginmedia @Kent_cc It is now 15 days since my elderly mother’s lifeline was cut off due to road resurfacing. People keep coming to reconnect and going away because they haven’t got a permit. If she has a fall, she can’t get help. Please sort this out!

  • AndrewR81 Andy Pandy (@AndrewR81) reported

    @Strangebox_ltd @emmalunn @virginmedia Ridiculous that if you take 3 services it costs less than having 1 service, especially when say the broadband in the multi package is the same speed as a standalone. They then harp on about costs and justification for price rises for those of us who only need 1 service.

  • stevehemmings81 Steve-O (@stevehemmings81) reported

    @virginmedia My payment is going to become as intermittent as your service

  • jonathan_oulds Jonathan Oulds (@jonathan_oulds) reported

    @virginmedia Broadband is down in BN14, your website seems to be offline and your helpline number doesn’t seem to work, what is happening @virginmedia ?

  • TemKucuk Tem kucuk (@TemKucuk) reported

    @virginmedia No internet in Dunstable, Bedfordshire for hours now, you are uncontactable on website, phone, live chat etc.... Nothing.... You knew there was no service for hours and yet we the soon to leave your appalling service customers unable to get the service back #virginmedia

  • ua124322 UA124322 (@ua124322) reported

    @virginmedia It’s about time - this is worst problem so far. I want to be compensated. Unacceptable after charging £55 every month for this service. VirginMedia Needs to reimburse or I’m changing providers ASAP

  • lmsunshine99 Kara McManus (@lmsunshine99) reported

    @virginmedia This is a regular issue. I am getting really fed up of paying for a service I am not receiving. Not to mention having to pay extra for pods to get wifi to the other side of the house.
