  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia And our Internet is down again this morning! So because its intermittent we don't get compensation, tried to call, can't get through (have to do it on mobile, our 'landline' is now internet reliant!)

  • 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?

  • barrys59 Barry Slater (@barrys59) reported from Barton upon Irwell, England

    @virginmedia still no service M27. 4th hour! Rubbish!

  • LindzDDub Lindz Devine (@LindzDDub) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia I have to say your Internet connection is ridiculous... for months on end, it's been shocking. I'm sick and tired of resetting my hub, I shouldn't be having this issue. Never had so much issue for the years I've had you and now, the past 6 months, I'm paying monies…

  • Samuel_J_Mc Sam (@Samuel_J_Mc) reported from Timperley, England

    @virginmedia customer service is so ****. They just transfer you round to different departments

  • EmsydilemsyL Emma Latham (@EmsydilemsyL) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia advice please! I’ve been a customer for over ten years and am also an o2 customer and my account is now going up by another £12 per month on a pretty basic package! Phoned twice and been told that someone will get back to me with a new price package - still nothing

  • EmmaZhaan64 Emma (@EmmaZhaan64) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia All internet is down, wireless and wired; the hub light is white and it’s a Hub 3.0.

  • EmmaZhaan64 Emma (@EmmaZhaan64) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia according to your representative my wifi is working perfectly and I don’t have any issues! That’s a bit odd considering I no service what so ever!

  • hall291 Pauline Hall (@hall291) reported from Halton, England

    @virginmedia how am I supposed to run an online tutoring business from home when your system goes down twice in a day ? #payingmorebutgettingless

  • elisabethhilto4 Elisabeth Hilton (@elisabethhilto4) reported from Lowton, England

    @virginmedia Been signed up to a contract I specifically asked not to be. Unable to get through on the phone and your online complaint submission form does not work. Can someone please contact me urgently

  • elisabethhilto4 Elisabeth Hilton (@elisabethhilto4) reported from Lowton, England

    @virginmedia Trying to make a complaint - signed up to a deal I clearly asked not to be. Your website doesn’t work and can’t get through on the phone. Can someone please dm me with a way to speak to someone urgently

  • HollowayAlec Alec Holloway (@HollowayAlec) reported from Stretford, England

    @virginmedia is unbelievable that our Internet is so poor, trying to contact someone via phone on numerous occasions waiting for over 45 minutes to speak with someone. Still haven't been able to get through to anyone.

  • LindzDDub Lindz Devine (@LindzDDub) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia @virginhelp I've never had this much issue as I have had today. I'm plugged in on ethernet, I've reset my hub, and checked my area and there is no issue at all. My WiFi is working from my hub but yet its booting me out of Destiny 2 and not just that but the chat parties on PS5 itself

  • timmycooke Tim Cooke 🇺🇦 (@timmycooke) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia Both wired and wireless. We've had 8 engineers out, a rewire, new hub and still endless drop outs. Was told finally it was an upload issue from the amp that supplied the box on the street. But still we're having issues. The 150 number is joke, make it simple!!!

  • jmcloughlin Jamie McLoughlin (@jmcloughlin) reported from Liverpool, England

    Anyone having @virginmedia issues in Liverpool area? Our TV has been showing static for the past half hour.

  • Duddydudson Kevin Dudson (@Duddydudson) reported from Wigan, England

    @NigelJTurner @virginmedia Same for me, I can cancel or change my package by the 28th of march then get a 19% increase on my new package on the 1st of April. Only had my contract 5 months.being **** Turpind here!!!

  • BLTwitchy Berni Turner 🖤🌹 (@BLTwitchy) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia No I’m not an idiot it was during covid I’ll go back and find it . The chief execs office rang me personally as I’m disabled

  • TheWiganParky Laser Lux, Wigan. (@TheWiganParky) reported from Haydock, England

    @virginmedia It says there's no issues at the moment, but I'm only getting 13mbps.

  • TheWiganParky Laser Lux, Wigan. (@TheWiganParky) reported from Haydock, England

    @virginmedia If my bill went down with my speed, I wouldn't mind.

  • adampreedy Asp1 (@adampreedy) reported

    @virginmedia I am in and endless loop trying to sign into my sky sports app getting error IDF-12B. I can't get to actually speak to someone as your automated call decision tree is so bad. I'm paying for a service I can't currently access. Totally unacceptable

  • LewisGillett Lewis Gillett (@LewisGillett) reported

    @virginmedia outage again in Nottingham. Reminds me I must switch to another provider soon because Virgin Media is unbelievably unreliable.

  • YamesAlexander yames (@YamesAlexander) reported

    @burningfury247 @virginmedia Go to downdetector and compare Virgin Media with sky or BT, it's terrible. Planning on switching soon.

  • JWilko1983 Wilko (@JWilko1983) reported

    @virginmedia your customer service is appalling. Nearly 5 hrs of phone calls in a month to try and sort my account, from the incorrect package, inability to link my virgin media/O2 ID to my account number to watch Virgin TV Go to now promised phone calls that don’t materialise

  • WardFish5tony tony (@WardFish5tony) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, I'm still having problems logging into my sky sports app on my phone. I can watch every channel on the TV go app for virgin media including TNT sports but it still won't allow me to view sky sports.

  • Bullpup2 Samantha Stancomb (@Bullpup2) reported

    @virginmedia Yes...but it doesn't go into mine. I had to sort out a new Virgin media/O2 login, download the app, get a message ten times to Gmail to click on, get a code to my phone, put in account information and get access to my husband's account!

  • mcfcfxp Mcfcfxp (@mcfcfxp) reported

    @virginmedia Virgin Media Outage Update - ID: F011915097 We're pleased to tell you this issue is now fixed. Best wishes, the Virgin Media Team Yet it’s still not working

  • notdiprincess diana smith (@notdiprincess) reported

    @virginMedia Please can anyone give a phone number to contact Virgin Media that will be answered by a person. I’ve tried their chat bot thing sent in a direct message to no avail. They close down the chat saying resolved but nothing changes

  • Leftdoubleclick Ruth Whalley (@Leftdoubleclick) reported

    @LutzSchueler @O2 @virginmedia Dear Lutz, we are desperately trying to re ew our contract with you …it is impossible to do this on line! We have been passed around from this person to that person. Please can you help yes ?

  • JJAMESSTEVENSON 𝙹𝙰𝙼𝙴𝚂 𝚂𝚃𝙴𝚅𝙴𝙽𝚂𝙾𝙽 🎮 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@JJAMESSTEVENSON) reported

    Think it might be time to move to @SkyUK from @virginmedia over 20 years of service & this is the worst it has been broadband down nearly everyday & takes weeks for "Repairs"
