  • johnsonhomes2
    johnsonhomes (@johnsonhomes2) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia If that was the only issue than yes that would be the logical next step. But as you’ll see from the previous tweets and email sent on Wednesday it isn’t. All the issues need dealing with in the round or otherwise I’ll have to cancel and go back to sky.

  • roslers_vest
    Scott Moseley (@roslers_vest) reported from Rochdale, England

    @virginmedia Submitting a complaint will probably result in an apology at best. Given I pay £1k per annum for an unreliable service it’s time to look for an alternative provider who can offer a more satisfactory customer experience

  • rachaelstafford
    Rachael Stafford (@rachaelstafford) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia shocking service from you today, I booked an engineer visit for my mum supposed to come today between 12-4 nobody came she’s since called and been told it was a phone call not a visit but still nobody had called. She’s now got to wait till Tuesday for a visit 😠

  • thechilledpanda
    Mike Chilton (@thechilledpanda) reported from Bramhall, England

    @virginmedia Unbelievable, you've sent me a dongle to connect a landline too the broadband on the 6th , so the phone line isnt going to work, though not much help on 150 as they abruptly cut you off. Website is also down.

  • michaelclark09
    Michael Clark (@michaelclark09) reported from Sale, England

    @Shredda @virginmedia Oh damn, that's peak. Might just be a coincidence then 🤔

  • Kellywalsh758
    Kelly Walsh (@Kellywalsh758) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia Iv asked lots of questions that have gotten me no where. To be hung up on over & over. They gave me a date of 17th December for it to have it installed no reasons as to why nothing explained I just think it’s a joke and the costumer service is dreadful. To have to wait 6 weeks!!

  • dantheman8t5
    Daniel McDermott (@dantheman8t5) reported from Dukinfield, England

    @virginmedia any idea when the outage will be sorted? I have work to do today

  • bludav_andrew
    👽 (@bludav_andrew) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Hi, for the 2nd time it appears you’re trying to charge me for a call out when I wasn’t supposed to be charged, I’ve already called once about this and was told it was corrected but it’s happened again? I’ve had to cancel my DD until sorted as due to come out 2morrow

  • tuite_liz
    Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia Can you check that I will be receiving a credit on my next bill as it has been down since Friday afternoon and I don’t think it will be fixed by 12pm today, I think that time will get changed again.

  • Scarlet0Pimp
    Liam 🐀 (@Scarlet0Pimp) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia hello, can you please fix the broadband in the sk11 8aa area once and for all. It was down yesterday afternoon, just gone down today and down last week. Clearly there is some Faulty hardware that needs replacing. How can people work from home with broadband like this

  • sharper76
    Smyth Harper 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇺🇦☘️ (@sharper76) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia No it’s not, and it has now transpired that your customer services agent told me a direct lie that there was a fault in my area when there is not. Someone else has now booked an engineer to come out - next Wednesday. I can’t even have my heating on as that’s controlled vía wifi

  • birdflu_7
    officially Gaynor Austin 💙 (@birdflu_7) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia If you want I can send pictures and ALL THE emails .I don't have the time to keep discussing the same situation with yet another virgin media support staff . My time is precious.

  • pillbo01
    kevin.james (@pillbo01) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia That number is a automated response not a customer service agent and an utter waste of time

  • nathangreen101
    Nathan (@nathangreen101) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    Hi @virginmedia is there a particular reason your engineers phone to say they are here but never actually turn up?

  • tuite_liz
    Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia I first informed Virgin Media that my internet was down via online chat on Friday afternoon. Will this have automatically been the time when my loss of service was registered as at the time the advisor said it would be fixed in 24 hours?

  • birdflu_7
    officially Gaynor Austin 💙 (@birdflu_7) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia I wascharged for non return of property apparently even when I had made arrangements for collection . Received a cheque but in my maiden name .sent another proof of marriage a covering letter and returned the cheque , this was from August!made complaint still no cheque

  • nick_lowden
    Nick Lowden (@nick_lowden) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia can’t get on service checker as app says it is out of service. Internet has gone down in M20 ?? When should it be fixed?

  • Aldehulme
    David (@Aldehulme) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia I need to speak to somebody regarding a broadband problem without you running a check that will cut me off the internet. How do I get past this to speak to a person?

  • GreenwasBlue
    GreenWasBlue (@GreenwasBlue) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia I've tried the online help to no avail.Just going round in circles. How do I get to book a visit by a human being?? 😡

    @virginmedia It's nothing you can help with on twitter unfortunately 😞.

Virgin Media Issues Reports

  • Ryanishistory
    Lord Ryan Mehrabany-Burnett (@Ryanishistory) reported

    @virginmedia we are due to have an engineer come out on Monday to look at the new box and remote which you said we had to have and doesn’t work. We have received a text message that if someone over 18 isn’t in, you will fine us £25. Great customer service.

  • PariPassu_Rx
    Pari Passu Newsletter (@PariPassu_Rx) reported

    Telefónica and Liberty Global are looking at ways to bring down the £22bn debt pile at Virgin Media O2, their UK joint venture, after a sharp sell-off in the company's bonds. A roughly $925mn unsecured note fell to as low as 57 cents on the dollar this week, down from about 78 at the start of July, and even the senior secured paper slipped. The measures under discussion include cutting the expected £200mn dividend, pulling back capex, and reducing headcount.

  • PeteSamuels5
    Pete Samuels (@PeteSamuels5) reported

    @DorzetRob @Artemisapphire Ditto here. We're between 3 towns. Sod all signal. Had to get 'wi-fi calling' on the mobile phones, to make mobile calls via the broadband. Smarty seems to work OK. Old copper land line now shut off by Virgin Media.

  • Americanvoiceo1
    Joe Duley American voiceover person (@Americanvoiceo1) reported

    @virginmedia STILL! Service completely out! No explanation (although app says 'everything is fine') It's deceiving info. No BB OR phone/TV. CAN'T ring customer service-at all. Now, my life's mission is to escalate w/CISAS as #Virginmedia is costing me financially/professionally.

  • briavelsjon
    Jon Pitts (@briavelsjon) reported

    @SmithyWFC85 @bigsul72 I have access to HBO via my Virgin Media subscription, but don't want to view via an app - that's kinda my point. Sky Sports red button is truly excellent, TNT's isn't bad but is sat unused.

  • willmgreenhalgh
    Will (@willmgreenhalgh) reported

    @virginmedia is down So forced to use data but @O2 is so slow and bad it struggles to connect to anything and the o2 network app says phone masts aren't working Great service all round, not, what's the point of doubling my data if I can't connect to anything

  • Nokkapie
    Paul Tee (@Nokkapie) reported

    Yes @virginmedia I love being charged more than the contract I agreed! I also love being ignored when making a formal complaint. Defo won be renewing another contract. Awful behaviour from a business ive used for 20 years!
