    Why do I even pay you so much money each month @virginmedia when your internet has gone down twice in two days. Shocking!!

  • NellyOcker Neil Cocker (@NellyOcker) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia also since my contract inception May I’ve had no 5G or 4G just 3G which is extremely slow when processing fast is needed. Extremely poor & I’m a long standing loyal customer of Virgin Media for over 20 years when it was called Cable Wireless (NTL)😡

  • Fatbelly57 Fatbelly 🇪🇺 💙💛 (@Fatbelly57) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia Hi John, I did that yesterday & the result was Virgin booked an engineer to attend Monday. However you texted this morning saying due to issues you had to cancel the Engineers visit that was booked for Monday. No further update or comms were given. What do we do? PLEASE HELP

  • Fatbelly57 Fatbelly 🇪🇺 💙💛 (@Fatbelly57) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia Hi Guy's, we've had no broadband for 36 hours now and you've just text to say you've had to cancel our engineer call tomorrow! What's going on? No broadband and no communication

  • NellyOcker Neil Cocker (@NellyOcker) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia I’ve been with Virgin Media now for well over twenty years but I’m not happy with customer services whatsoever especially having the phone put down on me on two occasions ! 😡

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • pleaseyourself Please Yourself (@pleaseyourself) reported

    @virginmedia I really need to speak to someone about this but I keep going round in circles. I got a very unsatisfactory response from “customer relations,”completely missing the point and ignoring that I was told I could have the £74 package. I thought this was being resolved

  • GaldiesL LisaGB💙🇺🇦🙏🏻 (@GaldiesL) reported

    @virginmedia the label sent to return my mums box will not scan - please help

  • StudioNIB John Shelley🌿🎨🇪🇺 (@StudioNIB) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for responding! When I reverted to broadband only I was offered the faster M200 fibre. I had hoped this would mean more reliable performance, but I still have occasional drop-outs, when everything just disconnects (especially in the evening), & poor wireless reach.

  • jacknwatkins Jack N. Watkins (@jacknwatkins) reported

    @virginmedia Why is it like pulling teeth trying to move services between houses? Why does your live chat give dead ends? Do you want me, a customer of 5+ years, to cancel? What's your game plan here?

  • andrewje_home Andrew Elliott (@andrewje_home) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, it found a connection problem with the hub but made no difference after following the steps. Guys it's your side - it always is.

  • Itwasjustameme 🌶 (@Itwasjustameme) reported

    @virginmedia an entire day without Internet. Hub is fine. I assume “service is fine” and you are still “unaware” of any issues?

  • AnthRidley81 Anth Ridley (@AnthRidley81) reported

    @virginmedia any ideas why suddenly CBeebies is now an unauthorised channel?! Got a pissed off toddler wanting her Teletubbies fix

  • TCGBelle Annabelle (@TCGBelle) reported

    @virginmedia why am i paying for your service if its not working!

  • gazchap GazChap (@gazchap) reported

    @alister_ware @Gadgetoid @virginmedia The fact that they’re prepared to do this for those about to leave but not for their (up til now) happy customers would make me want to cancel on principle. I know, capitalism, but this business practice is shady as **** and should be fired on a rocket into the sun.

  • F4TAX F4TAX (@F4TAX) reported

    @virginmedia Pile of Pants, 6 years of crap service, now fully cancelled......
