  • TTPhoebe Phoebe (@TTPhoebe) reported from Manchester, England

    Anyone available at @virginmedia please? Your website is shocking for trying to get in touch with customer services / live chat. Thanks

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

    @virginmedia network down again in Heywood appalling lack of service yet again

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

    @virginmedia Yes currently showing resolution time of 0230 04/11 this is a really poor service it has been off for the majority of the day

  • Lerounxi Reece Jordan Doonan, RN (@Lerounxi) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia can you confirm if there’s active engineer trying to rectify the service outage Manchester (M30). Widespread issues reported according to your service outage on website ?

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

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

  • 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?

  • JoshuaBurns Josh B (@JoshuaBurns) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Yes, tried last night and your service status page was actually down. Today I checked and it showed no issues, I run the diagnostic and no issues either. Came back up late this afternoon.

  • 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

  • JoshuaBurns Josh B (@JoshuaBurns) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia on my second week of being a first time customer with you and my connection has been down for nearly 10 hours now. What’s going on?

  • JoshuaBurns Josh B (@JoshuaBurns) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia I will. 2nd week in and these kind of issues is worrying considering my partner needs a connection to work from home. How long do I have to switch providers is it 30 days?

  • blokealex alex. (@blokealex) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Complaint is about billing after cancellation, your staff refusing to process my request to cancel and being told a different thing every time I call back… it’s been awful.

  • 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 😠

  • twiddlemeister Definitely not Elon Musk (@twiddlemeister) reported from Cheadle Hulme, England

    Probably consider an unlimited tariff at some point to make up for when Virgin Media goes down.

  • Hasbullins Hazbullins (@Hasbullins) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia New call of duty released today and your Internet service is down. Are you taking the full piss out of me here? Wankers

  • 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

  • JohnnyDude1983 🦔🦊Johnny1983 🦝🐱 (Big Animal Lover🐕🐶🐁) (@JohnnyDude1983) reported from Bury, England

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

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

  • SurrealPaulT Paul Terry (@SurrealPaulT) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia hi Virgin. We had an outage of broadband and TV services beginning 23rd Sept which lasted for 4 days. At the time we were told we would be compensated for this loss. As it hasn't come off our latest bill, how do we claim?

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

    @virginmedia well the woeful service in Heywood continues after “fixing” the fault this morning which resulted in me being unable to work from home the network has dropped again this evening absolutely shocking service

  • BossyBoots49 Bridget (@BossyBoots49) reported

    @CarmenWochner @virginmedia I’m sat in a friends house because I’m sick of paying extra for 3G 😡😡😡 The customer service is disgusting. They booked me in for a technician for today and they’ve not arrived. Now they are saying one wasn’t booked in!! @virginmedia 😡

  • Queenof_Speed Diana V 🇮🇹 (@Queenof_Speed) reported

    @virginmedia Why are agents on the phone telling me they can't see any fault yet you've told me there is now an issue??

  • benjammin22 Ben Hogwood (@benjammin22) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, yes - it's a long story but involves a switch to O2 mobile that isn't saving money, and the new TV service that took 3 weeks of calls etc to install. It's not resolved yet by a long way, unfortunately!

  • CarmenWochner OrangeBretzel (@CarmenWochner) reported

    @BackOnTrack__ @virginmedia It's terrible! For the last 2 weeks hardly any internet connection @virginmedia !! It even took me 15 minutes to tweet this message due to losing connection every 2 minutes.

  • Miss_Pumpkin666 Caroline (@Miss_Pumpkin666) reported

    @virginmedia How is that a fix?! It’s exchanging one problem for another, i’d be exchanging no on demand for losing all my recordings!!! When it’s probably nothing at all to do with the box!!!

    Anyone know a Virgin Media Technician that I can call to get him to come and see to my non-existing internet. @virginmedia doesn’t seem to want to fix my internet. Appalling customer service from @virginmedia 😡

  • CllrJanePalmer Cllr Jane Palmer (@CllrJanePalmer) reported
