  • Aldehulme
    David (@Aldehulme) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia I need to speak to somebody regarding a broadband problem without you running a check that will cut me off the internet. How do I get past this to speak to a person?

  • gbmcfc
    GLENN (@gbmcfc) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Well you find I'm cancelling my contract with yourselves, hope you go bust, your customer service team is a shambolic embarrasment. Loyalty works both ways.

  • nick_lowden
    Nick Lowden (@nick_lowden) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia can’t get on service checker as app says it is out of service. Internet has gone down in M20 ?? When should it be fixed?

  • 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 Can you check that I will be receiving a credit on my next bill as it has been down since Friday afternoon and I don’t think it will be fixed by 12pm today, I think that time will get changed again.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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!!

  • WCONNOLLY2512
    William Connolly (@WCONNOLLY2512) reported from Manchester, England

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

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

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

  • martinmoscrop
    Martin Moscrop 🎺 (@martinmoscrop) reported from Salford, England

    @LennieThevan @virginmedia That sounds terrible Lennie. If you want to change a plan and save money they go out of their way to be unhelpful. However, if you want to spend more their customers service Is better.

    (っ◔◡◔)っ 💛 ɪɢɢʏ ᴘᴜᴘ 🧡 🔜 Doggy Weekend 🐶 (@IggyPup7) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @PowerBoar @virginmedia @virginhelp they are as bad unfortunately just changed shape … still same poor up to 20wifi devices connection. and they giving customers their hubs they received from others who returned them regardless faulty or not … it’s terrible 😣

  • SandyLindsay
    Sandy Lindsay MBE 🐝 (@SandyLindsay) reported from Sale, England

    Have @virginmedia gone down in South Manchester??? Been kicked off the wifi!

  • CallyRaven
    Carol Rowles (@CallyRaven) reported from Westhoughton, England

    @virginmedia 3 times in 3 weeks we are without internet! We are paying for a service we are not able to use! Are we going to be compensated for this?

  • ChrisFoxRacing
    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

  • sharper76
    Smyth Harper 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇺🇦☘️ (@sharper76) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia I’ve just connected a new router for faster speeds and it isn’t working. I’ve called up and your customer services person who told me contradictory information, put me on hold and then hung up on me.

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia You’re not understanding. I do contact when the issue is happening, your advisor then fixes it, but it then happens again within 24 hours. I need a ‘once and for all’ fix. Not this whack a mole approach you’ve had so far.

  • CallyRaven
    Carol Rowles (@CallyRaven) reported from Westhoughton, England

    @virginmedia I seem to be the first one to report them, still saying intermittent problems in my area. Can't get to speak to anyone on phone, I rely on the Internet.

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

    @virginmedia It’s everything connected via Wi-Fi. I don’t have the connect app. I check for service status on your website and it usually says there isn’t an issue, but that doesn’t reflect my service.

  • gromitfoxzero
    GromitFoxZero (@gromitfoxzero) reported

    @whisperwoIf @virginmedia I mean they didn’t let customers cancel and yet they got fined yesterday by our regulator here in the UK for £28m. I can’t relate because I use Plusnet which practically never goes out or ***** up a lot

  • JuliaCoombcj
    Julia Coombs (@JuliaCoombcj) reported

    @Stsantek @virginmedia Unfortunately this is standard procedure. Tried to cancel Sky TV just before contract ended as price had risen,watched the date like a hawk. They advised me to take out the 2 years again and cancel on the date. Hope you never notice. Why isn’t this illegal?

  • foxclaire1973
    Claire Fox (@foxclaire1973) reported

    @virginmedia I have sent a few private messages. None of you have responded and I must be talking to a wall when I say that someone has USED my address to set up a account with you. I am a sky customer and Plusnet customer

  • Dadyougeek
    JR (@Dadyougeek) reported

    No @virginmedia internet since Wednesday afternoon, engineer yesterday said someone needs to come out and fix something between box and house and we’re meant to do this yesterday! No show from them and nothing so far today! #shambles

  • LostPigeonPost
    Flossie Smith (@LostPigeonPost) reported

    @virginmedia @Stsantek Virgin has thus customer’s contact details, but as always expects the customer to get in touch with them - which is ALWAYS a waste of hours and hours of the customer’s time. Virgin knows that and everyone else knows that.

  • RJNicholds
    RY➖N (@RJNicholds) reported

    @Stsantek @virginmedia You’re not alone with this and I would urge @Ofcom to also investigate O2 on this also now they are a joint venture as similar case when trying to move provider when their service was not working. Did manage to resolve but had the same threats!

  • LostPigeonPost
    Flossie Smith (@LostPigeonPost) reported

    @Stsantek @virginmedia I can’t wait to leave Virgin but my husband can’t face the thought of having to ditch his Blue Yonder email address. It took me a week to switch mine and I will never say another good eord about Virgin again. It’s beyond hideous.

  • rob_death84
    robert de'ath (@rob_death84) reported

    @MichelleBeckett @SkyUK @VodafoneUK When my dad passed virgin media told my mum we are sorry that ur husband had expired. Nasty company and I will never give them a penny again.

  • SKEY2011
    Shaun Key (@SKEY2011) reported

    @virginmedia So your going to give us a discount next month then as I’m paying for a service that I’m not getting, no internet no tv no World Cup, !!!!! Get it sorted!!
