    Virgin media down 😡

  • rachsclarke rachel clarke (@rachsclarke) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @EE Would be more than happy to rejoin EE even without my NHS discount if someone would actually call me back. Don’t think I can take another week of important missed calls from @virginmedia - yes I know they use the EE network but not the enhanced 4G+ side 🙄

  • Erinshore11 Geoff Wright (@Erinshore11) reported from Nunthorpe, England

    Had visit No 2 from Virgin, a couple of nice chaps,chased cables and removed cable still connected to the network that's not been used for years,new modem,new leads,new remote and the supervisor's number with a call back in a week, all good so far well done @virginmedia

  • simonmp68 SimonMorrisonPeacock (@simonmp68) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia I have been trying to get problem with my box sorted for 3 weeks now. Cuts out sound only. Still not sorted and all info followed. Gone beyond frustrated now simply unacceptable customer service I want to know where else I can complain to or where can get sorted

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia I dont mean to be rude but I can tell you now the option to text was not on the "contact us" page I visited on your website, but I see it's just a text option to the live chat anyway so this will be a waste of my time but texting now

  • FatAbbott Ste Addison (@FatAbbott) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    @SamMorrison19 @virginmedia What kit did you have when it was intermittent, I've got same issues

  • simonmp68 SimonMorrisonPeacock (@simonmp68) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia I appreciate how stretched you must be but I am a key worker and for over a week jow I an unable to contact you to sort out my tv problem. Hours on phone,via app and web still not solved. Can’t watch tv properly need it sorting pronto please.

  • rachsclarke rachel clarke (@rachsclarke) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia Tried this, 3 days to reply per message. Pathetic really, good customer service could compensate for poor phone service but I don’t get either. I get the VM sim for free with my package, I’d rather pay an extra £20 a month elsewhere to make sure I don’t miss important calls

  • Erinshore11 Geoff Wright (@Erinshore11) reported from Nunthorpe, England

    @virginmedia Spoke too soon back in off again. Obviously nothing to do with modem as it’s new, same issues as before this time off for a fair amount of time now, is there an issue imnn in in TS8 location.

  • Emfozz Em (@Emfozz) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia shock as broadband is down again. Yet you’ll still expect full payment from everyone.

  • simonmp68 SimonMorrisonPeacock (@simonmp68) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia Gone through apps,web,hours on phone even my nieces partner who works for you but system down. I am really getting annoyed

  • rachsclarke rachel clarke (@rachsclarke) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia No as I’m unable to get through 1. Because my signal is horrendous and 2. Because your lines are constantly closed. It seems easier for me to just go back to @EE as I need reliability, I’ve missed too many important phone calls since using VM.

  • RobertTamkin94 Robert-Andrew Tamkin (@RobertTamkin94) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @RMT3N @virginmedia @FortniteGame @SkyUK I’m actually moaning about a service I pay for but I mean it’s not you pays for my bills I do, so piss off keyboard warrior 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

  • wanaldinho wayne burnett (@wanaldinho) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia come on guys internet still not working in Middlesbrough

  • simonmp68 SimonMorrisonPeacock (@simonmp68) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia I want my tv service sorting. Just not good enough despite current situation. Second time this fault has occured and fed up of being told “working on it” get it fixed or I leave

  • Blenky64 John Blenkinsopp (@Blenky64) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia I’ve messaged that number twice - first time nearly three hours ago and still no acknowledgement. I think you need to sort this out or all your customers will leave come on - please let me know why there is no customer service response three hours is hopeless

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia @grimegran You have been awful since the lockdown, yet I keep seeing these hopeful ads that just wind me up as anyone currently on you service knows that it is currently a joke. Yesterday was the first time since the lockdown started that I didnt lose connection at all or have router fail

  • Emfozz Em (@Emfozz) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia Ironic you try and blame customers. It’s your service not my house or my equipment or how I’m using it.

  • Erinshore11 Geoff Wright (@Erinshore11) reported from Nunthorpe, England

    @virginmedia Service back after a engineer visit last night, with another coming again today. After being with Virgin for years, the Tv and internet service these past 6 months has been poor, surely I should get a reduction on my bill.

  • adzzRP7 Adam Rowney-Pratt (@adzzRP7) reported

    @virginmedia I can't get through to anyone in customer service. I've been with virgin for only 2 weeks and the broadband is rubbish compared to sky. I could get sky broadband in every room but now have trouble connecting to virgin sitting next to the router. Absolutely shocking

  • MaimePhil Phil Maine🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧 (@MaimePhil) reported

    @virginmedia No wired connections. No rebooting just lagging and spinning stars and my son now complaint tv in his room pixelated as if connection poor.

  • Juggzy Juggzy Malone (@Juggzy) reported

    @virginmedia So, with YOUR Engineer having broken an Internet connection that was working very well before I had to resort to twitter. As usual I get sent to a self-helo website. Nobody takes me seriously. Eventually somebody gives me the number I can contact to get an engineer in.

  • ThYorkshireLass Kirsty Marks (@ThYorkshireLass) reported

    @virginmedia You clearly CANNOT BE ARSED to read customers messages. I sent you a screenshot of my router... AGAIN ive read and people are still having issues with IOS14, hence me wasting 2hours of my time getting through to your department and talking to absolute idiots.

  • jojowiththeflow Jo 💜 #FORHIRE (@jojowiththeflow) reported

    @virginmedia Hello lovely people, do you have a customer service number that can be dialled from abroad? My landlord is not in the UK at the moment but cannot dial the 0800 or 0345 number from their location abroad. Thanks!

  • Juggzy Juggzy Malone (@Juggzy) reported

    @virginmedia I am advised to try again. I do and opt for the text this time. This takes me back to the automated help system and an endless series of automated help tips that I have eventually gone through.

  • ThYorkshireLass Kirsty Marks (@ThYorkshireLass) reported

    @virginmedia and then wasting 30 mins of time on yourself who clearly is copying and pasting. Suggestion..... to read what customers are putting before you respond. It will make you seem a little less lacking..... Thankyou for absolutely just as shocking service as your phone.

  • BrexitHate HateBrexit (@BrexitHate) reported

    @virginmedia what do you mean being carried over? Are you saying that even though it was paid, you're still ******* charging me for it? Because that's what it sounds like. I'm having financial issues atm so I can't do a DD and I need the internet functioning so I can do what I need to.

  • weelass31 Lisa 💙 (@weelass31) reported

    @virginmedia For weeks now it’s running fine then it cuts out for a few seconds and picks up, then repeats this every so often. It’s not fit for purpose at the moment, and should handle more than what we’re using, no problem.

  • Juggzy Juggzy Malone (@Juggzy) reported

    @virginmedia At which point I come here again. Read upthread to verify the parts of this that happened on twitter. I am very sorry to all the nove and normal people working for Virgin who have to deal out this ****
