  • CallyRaven
    Carol Rowles (@CallyRaven) reported from Westhoughton, England

    @virginmedia And our Internet is down again this morning! So because its intermittent we don't get compensation, tried to call, can't get through (have to do it on mobile, our 'landline' is now internet reliant!)

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

    @virginmedia I looked and that says it’s from the day I registered the total loss of service which was yesterday but really it should be from Friday afternoon when I did the online chat. If I DM you can you check?

  • DaveGarside
    Dave Garside🇺🇦🇬🇧❤️ (@DaveGarside) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia No. Tv is fine. I can access VOD such as Amazon Prime & Youtube no problem

  • 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!!

  • 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?

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

    @virginmedia Could the problems in the area have caused damage to the equipment? As it was working fine before. Do I get compensation for all this time as the earliest appointment is Friday 14th?

  • nathantalbot
    Nathan Talbot (@nathantalbot) reported from Urmston, England

    (Test) Is anyone experiencing a virgin media Internet outage in B9?

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • Miniboom2
    Rach (legacy fan) (@Miniboom2) reported from Salford, England

    Ah @virginmedia with this up and down service today you are really spoiling us!

  • StevomacMUFC
    Stephen Mackenzie (@StevomacMUFC) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I’m trying to raise a complaint online but I’m not receiving any acknowledgment. Is there another way I can raise my complaint? Thanks

    @eshelm @simonnread @virginmedia Worst people I’ve ever worked for By a distance

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

  • Karamonkey1
    Weirdly even older fan (@Karamonkey1) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia And the sum total of welcome texts I received during my 7 night stay in Jamaica was 189. I never moved from the same hotel. I often got 4-8 texts whilst sat at the same restaurant table or in my room. @virginmedia get your act together

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

    @virginmedia See thread above, nothing changes except the time of the estimated fix. It must be very localised as not everyone in my area is affected. So if it is damaged cables, I haven’t seen anyone out repairing them over the weekend, it’s a joke

  • _AdamGardiner
    Adam Gardiner 💙 (@_AdamGardiner) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia It works intermittently. When I speak to an advisor they fix the issue at that moment. Then, the next day it’ll cut out again and the process repeats. It was working when the engineer left, but it didn’t last 24 hours. Intermittent isn’t good enough. I rely on you for work.

  • he_tompkins
    Hannah Tompkins (@he_tompkins) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia my broadband was “delivered” today by Yodel but the package is no where to be seen and wasn’t attempted (I’ve been in all day waiting). I can’t get any help from them, please help!! 😭

  • KerryKez7
    Kerry Louise (@KerryKez7) reported from Urmston, England

    Don’t ever get Virgin Media internet/WIFI it’s SO garbage & keeps going off especially when your watching something WTF & apparently it’s the most up to date & according to them it’s the best NO it’s not plus it’s expensive for being SO c**p 🤬💷😤

    @virginmedia Well you find I'm cancelling my contract with yourselves, hope you go bust, your customer service team is a shambolic embarrasment. Loyalty works both ways.

    @MadeleineEbbs57 @MalachySteenson Virgin media are literally paid taxpayer money to be sympathetic to the official line on this and many other issues.

  • LeighOCally
    Leigh OCallaghan (@LeighOCally) reported

    @Suej1959 @virginmedia I’m in Tunbridge Wells. Same problem. I couldn’t even watch apps. Luckily I can now but tv still pixelating.

  • Barnsey02
    Steve Barnes (@Barnsey02) reported

    @virginmedia everything is falling apart. Can only watch BBC1 and recordings Most annoyingly can’t watch Giro. Your website claims I don’t exist but of course you continue sending your bullying messages telling me I need to update to an inferior box about which you have ignored my complaint

  • BrianPenhand
    Brian Penhand (@BrianPenhand) reported

    @virginmedia Utter shambles of a company. Nobody will be compensated for this. The service status page is mysteriously down too. I'll be swapping services as soon as I am able.

  • Blue_Cav
    Carl Cavell (@Blue_Cav) reported

    @virginmedia Been a while now, to get compensation for lack of service you need to inform you. Yet ironically the website doesn't recognise customer accounts. Might tell Alainis Morrisette now.
