    Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia my internet has been down since Friday afternoon. I was told it would be fixed in 24 hours, the time has since changed and is currently at 8pm this evening. I work from home so need my internet back up and running before Monday morning. This is disgraceful

    @virginmedia I have phoned you at least 10 times this week. I’ve had a visit from a technician. My Wi-Fi still doesn’t work. I rang up AGAIN in the last half an hour, after waiting for 30 mins to speak to someone, they said they had ‘system issues’ and hung up on me. (1/3)

    Every time speak to @virginmedia @Virgin customer service I die a little bit inside #emogirl

    Christopher Fox (@ChrisFoxRacing) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Already reported the broadband issues, and it's an issue where estimated fix times keep getting pushed back. With regards to mobile issues, this has been around the same length of time. The only way I've been able to get any connection at all is by switching to 3G

  • NeilAshtonActor
    Neil Ashton (@NeilAshtonActor) reported from Stockport, England

    @jimmyoates @virginmedia Same James. Same area and it’s not been working for an hour. It says on their website no issues in the area but not had any service.

    @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 👀

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

  • 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?

  • johnjoeoregan
    JJ (@johnjoeoregan) reported from Manchester, England

    @stetopping Remember you did the piece late last year about Virgin Media Broadband being out for a day? It's now been down for six days in some parts of Manchester. Six full days and not a word from the company except automated messages.

    @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 ?

    @virginmedia Thanks for updating I've had my 82 year old dad on the phone as he only has the main tv channels so I guess its the same issue as the pixalation issues. I'll let him know

    @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?

  • SimpaticoGem
    Gemma ≅ (@SimpaticoGem) reported from Walkden, England

    Tell me why with my @virginmedia wifi and my @O2 phone contract, MY WIFI CUTS OUT CONSTANTLY AND I HAVE NO SIGNAL ANYWHERE I GO?! Thought being a customer of you both was supposed to reap massive benefits for me?

    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.

    Paddy Stavros (@PaddyStavros69) reported

    @Carolestfc1 @virginmedia Bang on Carole, unacceptably poor from @virginmedia. Ditch the standard robotic replies, either sort it out for Carole pronto or sort out a refund AND a goodwill financial gesture. 👊🏼

    Jess Stocks (@jrstocks89) reported

    @virginmedia still no response. I’m paying a lot of money to access Sky Sports red button on my TV but still another 8 days to apparently fix it All the sport I want to watch is again on the red button this weekend

    Chris4RAFC (@Chris4RAFC) reported

    @Smallworth_xx @virginmedia my son had the same problem but lucky he went to the Wycombe match on Saturday but tonight had to watch it via the sky sports app as he is with Virgin too, luckily I am with sky and could watch my team Saturday on the red button and i watched a game tonight and no issues

  • Vonk9
    Veronica Dodd (@Vonk9) reported

    @WHUbluesman @virginmedia They denied there was a problem when I rang. Sent out an engineer who told me there was a known problem. What's the excuse?????

  • Trickyred59
    Andy Ward (@Trickyred59) reported

    @virginmedia @TheAFC0522 Just had my monthly bill. £143. I'm assuming that next month the reduced charge will reflect this "functionality issue".
