    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?

    @SkyUK My Sky package is slowly edging up. Some new customer deals from a couple of years ago have worsened discounts but... I'm still around £30 a month better off than when I was with Virgin Media. Never going back.

    Skysports app with virginmedia login hasn't been working today so having to old school "watch" via live updates here. HORRIBLE way to sit thru that 8mins!!

  • 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

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

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

    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.

  • 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!!

  • GreenwasBlue
    GreenWasBlue (@GreenwasBlue) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia I've tried the online help to no avail.Just going round in circles. How do I get to book a visit by a human being?? 😡

  • _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 No they’re helping. But it’s VERYYYY slow. But almost there.

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

    @virginmedia 2/2 who can I speak to as it was working fine on Friday until the issues that were nothing to do with me happened, so don’t see why I should now pay for a technician

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

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

  • Woolfie30
    Howard Woolfenden (@Woolfie30) reported from Rochdale, England

    @virginmedia yet again my Internet isn't working. 18m on the old Internet and not one outage. now on the new and 'improved' service and yet another outage, so many outages already.... come on sort it out I'm paying good money for this......

  • PaulRegent1
    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!!

  • 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.

  • MCR_ADM
    Adam🍺 (@MCR_ADM) reported from Stockport, England

    Been on a live chat to Virgin Media since 9:30. WFH joys. Not much work has been done. But got my bill down. #CozzieLivs.

    @DeviateDefiant @virginmedia @MoneySupermkt Im having this issue right now, although its at £77 I believe, they keep hanging up/cutting me off, dont call when they say they will and keep billing me and cutting me off, I cant get through to anyone who makes sense.

  • jamiediscos
    jamiediscos (@jamiediscos) reported

    @virginmedia 12 hrs so far with no WiFi, no tv service and more importantly, no phone! Why am I paying you an extortionate amount of money each month?

    David Owens (@DavidOw38948049) reported

    @virginmedia 1/2 Rang the above number 15 July (you should have this recorded) finally got a person who said he was the correct person to deal with issue and stated Virgin would come to our home and remove your unused/unwanted broadband box from the outside of our property within 48 hrs !

    Anon frog poster (@WebBuildingFrog) reported

    @Simon_Coates @Simon_Whale @virginmedia I have the same. Only issue I've had with it is the cable was short by 1m so I had to order a longer one (third party much cheaper) Installed it all myself, whole village is impressed.

    How do you know when your @virginmedia internet is not working? It's a day that ends in "Y". 🤬

  • HoMcArdle
    Craig McArdle (@HoMcArdle) reported

    @virginmedia Already done this many times with the same outcome. You have made no attempt to fix this issue. I’ve responded several times with my account details and you do nothing. Reported to ofcom and now dealing with CISAS. You have everything you need already
