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

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia well the woeful service in Heywood continues after “fixing” the fault this morning which resulted in me being unable to work from home the network has dropped again this evening absolutely shocking service

    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.

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

    @virginmedia No they’re helping. But it’s VERYYYY slow. But almost there.

  • SiManM20
    Simon Manning 🇪🇺 #FBPE (@SiManM20) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Will do. That was your cue to step in and offer some ‘customer service’ btw.

  • nathantalbot

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

  • JoshuaBurns
    Josh B (@JoshuaBurns) reported from Manchester, England

    @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?

  • bludav_andrew
    👽 (@bludav_andrew) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Hi, for the 2nd time it appears you’re trying to charge me for a call out when I wasn’t supposed to be charged, I’ve already called once about this and was told it was corrected but it’s happened again? I’ve had to cancel my DD until sorted as due to come out 2morrow

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

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

  • 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

  • _AdamGardiner
    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.

  • 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!!

  • 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

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

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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • EdwinDa18453545
    Edwin Daniel (@EdwinDa18453545) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia @richardbranson @VirginMediaCC unethical practice & worst cust serv.after 50 days of total loss of service and no resolution and taking 52 pounds for that period from me now they are denying compensation as well as refund of monies taken.

  • DrewSheridan1
    Drew Sheridan (@DrewSheridan1) reported

    @virginmedia My 75 year old mums tv not working according to your checker then is a internet issue which will not be repaired until the 18/05/26!. Totally unacceptable! 4 days with no tv or internet I thought you were the best out there clearly not. Be quick or will be cancelled

  • EdnaKrabapple1
    Edna Krabapple 💙 (@EdnaKrabapple1) reported

    Anyone else having issues with 'channels not authorised' on @virginmedia? During the week, we couldn't get BBC1 for that reason but now it's other BBC channels.

  • CS_Hants
    South Coast Commuter (@CS_Hants) reported

    @virginmedia @docrussjackson Make a formal complaint and say you will report to @Ofcom. Ask for compensation, there are plenty of precedents. They are measured on how many and how quickly they resolve customer complaints. Am dumping VM tomorrow after 18 months of abysmal service, cant wait to be rid of them!

  • Marie_0612
    Marie Buttriss (@Marie_0612) reported

    @virginmedia hey, when will there be an update about the tv issue? Mines still not working….

  • paulmc_96
    Paul McKigen (@paulmc_96) reported

    @virginmedia wifi and tv down again same as yesterday. What are we paying for

  • bisho32287
    Bish (@bisho32287) reported

    @virginmedia We are now two days in and it's still not fixed. Your status update is still saying that estimated fix time will be 5.05 yesterday. This is an appalling service. What is going on? I want an update and I want my service back. I will stop my next payment.

  • ClassicSoulDJ
    Shorty (@ClassicSoulDJ) reported

    Here I go - still a problem with my tv services from @virginmedia a day after I tried to get through and I expect at least a hour waiting to get through

  • JCorbinHus
    J Corbi (@JCorbinHus) reported

    @virginmedia broadband issues continue since afternoon yesterday 14/05.. performed troubleshooting soft and hard nothing helped. Called customer service 8am revealed major issues in my area. I received NO notification kept in the dark. WHAT IS GOJNG ON? NEED ANSWER ASAP!!

  • theGROWcompany
    Rachel Rosser (@theGROWcompany) reported

    @virginmedia Regardless of the actual problem, it seems the company is totally inept. Why was your incoming call message not working, why was the on hold musac playing the same one track for an hour. Why did it take so many hours for any public announcement?

  • scousesense
    scouse sense@scousegranny (@scousesense) reported

    @virginmedia Please cancel my order that was made yesterday. I am in the 14 day cooling off period so cancel it . DM me to get the reference number. Than you
