    @virginmedia Don't give me your copy and pasted waffle. You have done nothing to help. You have been an absolute thorn in my side! "I'm so sorry you feel this way" is such an outdated and terrible response from a marketing point of view btw.

  • tuite_liz
    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 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

  • Tiffers1973

    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!!

  • 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?? 😡

    @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 It's nothing you can help with on twitter unfortunately 😞.

  • 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.

  • _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)

  • 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?

    Ah @virginmedia with this up and down service today you are really spoiling us!

  • 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!

    @virginmedia Ref: RS1001750194 or 100445413188 or 100445413196 Choose any but cancel asap and let me know when it's done

  • Sab_LFC
    Sab Singh Saroya (@Sab_LFC) reported

    @virginmedia never experienced a more dis-jointed, unsatisfactory installation experience (installation delayed another 4 weeks on top of 7 weeks I have already waited) with any other service provider ever.

    Sarah (@sarahdaxsarah) reported

    @virginmedia been on hold to Customer Services for an hour, no TV signal all day, appalling service !!

  • kevinwevin2002
    Kevin Thomas (@kevinwevin2002) reported

    @JoshCF_ I left them for Virgin Media. Been with Sky 22 years. There’s no reward for loyalty, no matter how many times they tell you you’re a ‘Diamond VIP’ customer. It’s all shite.

  • 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.

  • bisho32287
    Bish (@bisho32287) reported

    @virginmedia This is still not fixed despite your latest update saying 11.05am. What's going on? It would be helpful to have more up to date information. This is getting beyond a joke, it's over 24hrs now without a service.

  • GemmaMurphyxxx
    Gemma Murphy (@GemmaMurphyxxx) reported

    @virginmedia Been off nearly 24 hours. My nannan is elderly and she cant watch anything. She lives alone and pays a lot for this service. Its ridiculous.

  • COOPSthereitis4
    Chris (@COOPSthereitis4) reported

    @virginmedia ...in 24-48 hours. Will i be compensated for not having a service i am paying for?
