    @virginmedia are you down again in M20? Hub flashing red again.

  • 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 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)

    @bazza141 @virginhelp @virginmedia Join the club. I spent over 1hr 30 mins trying to get a issue resolved . I kept getting through to their over-seas call centres . It took almost 20 call re-tries to get through to a young lady over in Newcastle 😳😞. It's rediculous that they got call centres in 17 countries.

    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

  • johnsonhomes2
    johnsonhomes (@johnsonhomes2) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia The guy I spoke to at VM yesterday said that she wouldn’t be eligible for a “disabled” phone line to be installed because it wasn’t claimed when they dug the front garden up 18 months ago. We were never given this as an option at the time, if we had we would have insisted on it.

    Probably consider an unlimited tariff at some point to make up for when Virgin Media goes down.

  • 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.

  • nadeem030986
    Nadeem (@nadeem030986) reported from Rochdale, England

    @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 🤬😡😡😡

  • 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 SOGNAL ANYWHERE I GO?! Thought being a customer of you both was supposed to reap massive benefits for me?

  • rachaelstafford
    Rachael Stafford (@rachaelstafford) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia shocking service from you today, I booked an engineer visit for my mum supposed to come today between 12-4 nobody came she’s since called and been told it was a phone call not a visit but still nobody had called. She’s now got to wait till Tuesday for a visit 😠

  • duckyblog

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

  • johnsonhomes2
    johnsonhomes (@johnsonhomes2) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia If that was the only issue than yes that would be the logical next step. But as you’ll see from the previous tweets and email sent on Wednesday it isn’t. All the issues need dealing with in the round or otherwise I’ll have to cancel and go back to sky.

  • roslers_vest
    Scott Moseley (@roslers_vest) reported from Rochdale, England

    @virginmedia Yes currently showing resolution time of 0230 04/11 this is a really poor service it has been off for the majority of the day

  • johnsonhomes2
    johnsonhomes (@johnsonhomes2) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia Her phone like works at the moment because she has power but not in a power cut. This is one of the issues set out in the email which VM requested I send on Wednesday

  • 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.

  • 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.

    @virginmedia No point, there is a problem but it shows there aren't any issues in the area.

  • 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

    What rude people they are @virginmedia Was on the phone, finally someone will collect the old modem. However, I will be cancelling my tv and landline services. Will keep VM broadband until such time as I can source a suitable alternative. Disconnection fee to pay.

  • xTHEDROIDx
    Richard (@xTHEDROIDx) reported

    @virginmedia I've managed to sort it. Your customer service is appalling and because they're based in India, they lack any form of understanding or compassion and language barriers made the entite situation worse. Your UK based customer service team are flawless.

  • TraderPaulFX
    TraderPaulAI ✿ (@TraderPaulFX) reported

    @CityFibre have blanket banned anyone from having fast fibre broadband who has a Telecare device (warden alarm system). @virginmedia the only realistic alternative in my area, had me up and running within 3 days of ordering. No dramas, excellent service!

  • Andy_wxm
    Andy Jones (@Andy_wxm) reported

    @virginmedia Been a customer of yours for 2 months and my broadband keeps dropping out. Have switched off the hub and back on yet the broadband signal is still having the same problems

    @virginmedia Hi, yes the loss of service is still ongoing and this is the 3rd time this month would this not go under continuous loss of service?

  • KAY7COYS

    @virginmedia are the worst internet provider. Wouldn’t recommend at all.

  • Fedupcivvy
    Ex-Fedupcivvy (@Fedupcivvy) reported

    @obbsie @virginmedia Everyone I know who used to be with @virginmedia has moved to another provider having experienced the same rubbish service you're getting. Banged on my door a few weeks ago, got sent packing, told the sales person I'd rather go totally offline than use them

    Nigel XYY man (@NigelXYYMan) reported

    @Benleo It's a long time since I was on virgin media. They had just taken over from ntlworld. It used to annoy me that they could never get TV, broadband and phone working together at the same time.
