    @virginmedia Have you just stopped responding now? Having some system issues?

    Paul Regent (@PaulRegent1) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia no internet available in Bolton - must be an outage as, although coverage is very poor, it isn’t usually this poor!!

    @virginmedia Issues with all VM services in my area says expected fix by 4:40pm today.

  • 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?

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

    @virginmedia I was also promised a call back from a manager within 24 hours on a phone call on Friday afternoon. I did not receive this phone call. This is absolutely disgusting and I expect something to be done. I rely on your service for my income as I work from home. (2/3)

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

  • mark001282
    Mark Armstrong (@mark001282) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia I spoke to your customer service team on 2nd January who advised all issues had been resolved and my sim card was being sent out by royal mail delivery. Even with any postal delays out of your control it seems odd that it hasn't arrived.

    (Test) Is anyone experiencing a virgin media Internet outage in M6?

  • 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?

  • mark001282
    Mark Armstrong (@mark001282) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia As I say. I don't like publicly shaming a company that was once good. But your customer service is an absolute disgrace

    @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.

  • anttaylor23
    Anthony Taylor (@anttaylor23) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia The what's app line is fine, your advisers don't seem like they want to keep me as a customer. Well not for a decent price anyway 👀

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

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

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

    @MartinSLewis I'm not sure if you can help me but here goes , in August I ended my contract with @virginmedia & to cut a long story short they still owe me £87 .+ They sent me a cheque in my maiden name so I returned it with a second copy of my marriage cert same as in 2015 1.

  • GoaterBilly
    Billy Goater (@GoaterBilly) reported from Strines, England

    @virginmedia well done, after over 10 years with you, Virgin Media have sunk to the their lowest level of service and support ever. Roll on November and the end of my contract. Appalling, ignorant, clueless, almost as bad as BT.

  • ErHes1997
    Emily (@ErHes1997) reported from Timperley, England

    How can @virginmedia say "yes there's a problem in your area, we expect it to be fixed on Wednesday"... 5 days is a joke when you'll never see that money returned to you for lack of service provided

  • 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.

  • 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?

    @Rugby_Scoop @virginmedia I can understand ungracious losers, but being ungracious winners is bizarre. I was beginning to like NZ rugby; now we are back to the one-eyed arrogance of the spear-tackle era. Colin Meads & Ken Catchpole incident will forever be a stain on Kiwi rugby. SA v NZ, who to support?

    The European Commission has fined AliExpress €550 million for failing to adequately crack down on the sale of unsafe and counterfeit products on its site. The Chinese online marketplace had reported that almost 15 million illegal products were recommended to EU users last year, including counterfeit cosmetics, toys, clothes and gadgets. The company has until October to submit an action plan and comply with the Digital Services Act. 📺 More on Virgin Media PLAY
