    @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!! 😭

    @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

  • 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!)

    @virginmedia you have caused me nothing but hassle for months now. Your customer service team are completely useless.

    jimmy (@jimmysteamboat) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Can you confirm if service is down in the M4 Manchester postcode? Us and Neighbours wifi not working when we are WFH!

    @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?

    @beverleyturner @virginmedia Virgin Media had gone ****. Poor broadband, crappie TV channels and half don't even work.

  • 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?

    @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

    @virginmedia we having issues with our phone line at home called @virginmedia to book an engineer for a home visit after 1hr 20min @virginmedia put the phone down thank you 🤬😡😡😡

    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?

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

    Is anyone experiencing a Virgin Media outage in M6 currently? Fibre Broadband is struggling to connect

  • 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

    Martyn The Driver (@martyn_driver) reported from Rochdale, England

    @virginmedia after 26 years as a loyal cable customer it is time to say goodbye. It would seem that loyalty is not rewarded, and you don't want low use customers

    Karen B 🥀🇪🇺 🇺🇦💜🤍💚KarenB@KBGreyhoundLady (@KBGreyhoundlady) reported

    @Lewis_BGA @BBCBreakfast Virgin media did the same. The call centre was in Wythenshawe Manchester. Now it’s in the Indian subcontinent. OH had a mare as our e mails crashed. Lovely young woman but SO hard to understand. Also AGES trying to get through to speak to a human. Customer service is dead

    Steven Mills (@srmills90) reported

    @elissetennis I’ll try again tomorrow. I’ve had problems trying to watch streams through Amazon Prime via TNT/HBO with my provider (Virgin Media.) It shouldn’t be this confusing! And I can’t even seem to sign up for TNT Sports through the app to watch on my smartphone anymore!

  • StephenOld
    Stephen Old #FBPE (@StephenOld) reported

    @thenorth4theeu @virginmedia I tried to change a few years ago but they made the process impossible. They sent me texts instead of emails and no other providers will deal with Virgin directly. They have just been fined for their poor customer service, I think. They don't even reach basic standards of decency
