  • NedKell99403028 Ned Kelly (@NedKell99403028) reported from Lambeth, England

    @EdieKelly25 @virginmedia Go outside and flag down a Virgin van, and get them to fix it. It's the only way, you get to talk to anyone. Their customer service is shite!

  • jujuthebowler Julian (@jujuthebowler) reported from Merton, England

    @virginmedia new customer #QuickStart ha ha. Three days in and no band or tv #badservice #customer #unhappy

  • RichardShead Richard Shead (@RichardShead) reported from Richmond, England

    @flying_cafe @TW11Harbour @virginmedia To add that’s on their website that they have updated regularly with timescales. Admittedly without the reasons for the outage.

  • HWick_Bluenose Chris (@HWick_Bluenose) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @Moi_Twitting @CorporalMum @Ofcom If this is true @virginmedia then it’s a disgrace as you provide this service for homes and not business. I know as I manage our Virgin Media BUSINESS service for my employers. If I don’t get compensation for the whole period of the outage I’m off. £128.50 pm + £33 pm mobile. 👋

  • ali_bateman Ali Bateman (@ali_bateman) reported from Richmond, England

    @virginmedia Everyone gets that. But changing the estimate 5 minutes before twice is poor. And give a realistic estimate in the first place so we can make alternative arrangements.

  • AnghellKim Kimberli Anghell (@AnghellKim) reported from Kingston upon Thames, England

    Damn this #virginmedia again. I pay every month a lot of money and still now 3 days without internet and TV! And I'm sure that they will charge for this too 😡😠 #mad #needtowork #notnormal

  • tiggsie Sarah Ward (@tiggsie) reported from Kingston upon Thames, England

    @JackieSmith_nmc @virginmedia @SkySports The whole hospital was down too it’s been manic!

  • llima3000 Luiz Otavio (@llima3000) reported from Merton, England

    I can say that @virginmedia is giving me a proper nightmare before Christmas! I’m going to have 3 days with no Internet, TV and Phone... and they just push the fix date/time forward... should be fixed at 9 am, now they pushed to 5 PM... always that way! #fail #virginmediadown

  • myatt1965 Jonathan Blackmore (@myatt1965) reported from Merton, England

    @virginmedia Please stop sending me this template message! It is of no value to me as a customer!

  • tiggsie Sarah Ward (@tiggsie) reported from Kingston upon Thames, England

    @JackieSmith_nmc @virginmedia @SkySports Thankfully 😅 but looking at the twitter feed the communication with all their other customers seems really bad

  • sarahlbrowne Sarah Louise Browne (@sarahlbrowne) reported from Merton, England

    @lissielou13 @virginmedia I know!!! Horrible company

  • sophsophbling Sophie Hardie 🦄👸 (@sophsophbling) reported from Kingston upon Thames, England

    @virginmedia 3rd day with no internet or tv absolutely terrible service. You guys need to be honest with your costumers and not keep changing the deadline!!!! Definitely want a refund for the last 3 days!!!! #virginmediadown

  • ayca_oncu Ayca Oncu (@ayca_oncu) reported from Kingston upon Thames, England

    @virginmedia Not really, eta for fix was yesterday then postponed to this morning and now says 7pm today... the info you provide is not trustworthy...

  • swlondonbloke John Colbert ✊ #SocialismWorks (@swlondonbloke) reported from Merton, England

    🚨Wimbledon Virgin Media Outage🚨 Just had an update from one of our Virgin Media members, a footings digging machine next to the building that houses the local servers, hit the main fibre cable wrapping it around the drill. They estimate Monday before it’s fixed #virginmediadown

  • RachaelGreenyer Rachael (@RachaelGreenyer) reported from Kingston upon Thames, England

    Day three of no WiFi or TV. Bit of a joke now @virginmedia #virginmediadown #VirginMediaoutage Do us a favour and give us a real fix estimate 😤

  • iandonald71 ian donald (@iandonald71) reported from Richmond, England

    @virginmedia @munirawilson deadline No6 looming 5pm Saturday to fix the loss of service will it be yet another promise broken #tellusthetruth

  • StreetCube StreetCube (@StreetCube) reported from Kingston upon Thames, England

    @IfIKnewThen @Tell2k @ThreeUK The point is, is that it’s Virgin Media’s obligation to keep their fee-paying clients informed with truth and transparency. Anything less is an insult. Accidents happen, (as with the fibre optic ****-up) but lying, misleading and manipulating is utterly deplorable, #leavevirgin

  • Peter_Wilkins78 Peter Wilkins (@Peter_Wilkins78) reported from Merton, England

    @MariaMCasey @virginmedia That's a very ambiguous sentence. Not clear whether they'll only pay for working days, whether they'll pay for all days but only after 2 working days, whether the time starts from registering or whether it started from when the service went out.

  • RichardDPoole Richard Poole 🔶 #Kohler4Wimbledon (@RichardDPoole) reported from Merton, England

    @virginmedia Hi. I’m very well aware of the fault, the causes and the hard work your engineers are putting in to the fix the issue. All I and thousands of others want to know is a realistic timeframe to be reconnected. If we know it’s going to be days we can make alternative arrangements.

  • RichardDPoole Richard Poole 🔶 #Kohler4Wimbledon (@RichardDPoole) reported from Merton, England

    .@virginmedia I’ve given you the space to fix a complicated problem not of your making but your lack of empathy & respect for your customers demonstrated by your inability to level with us and be honest about the fix time is now ridiculous.

  • PlumandPeanut Victoria Palumbo (@PlumandPeanut) reported

    @virginmedia absolutely disgusting service. I am expecting a full refund for hours that I have not been able to use what I'm paying for. Appreciate there are faults but this is not something your customers should have to pay for

  • janice_bardwell Janice Bardwell (@janice_bardwell) reported

    @virginmedia Still most Channels and search facility down in North Wiltshire. Do we get a refund?

  • darksonphoto Ben Clarkson (@darksonphoto) reported

    Really do love paying @virginmedia stupid amounts of money a month to have no channels/services working. Daylight robbery springs to mind #virginmedia

  • gbtitan1 Geoff (@gbtitan1) reported

    @virginmedia - any idea when the issues in BR5/BR6 will be sorted?

  • roughcutjrd Richard Diamond (@roughcutjrd) reported

    @virginmedia TW1 - no channels. No option of raising the issue as the website is down at the same time. @Ofcom this is a joke right? How do we complain or log no service if they 404 their website

  • elizajtorres Eliza (@elizajtorres) reported

    @tomk0s @virginmedia Think before you tweet moron some people can’t get out due to ill health issues like my mom who as cancer and is disabled,

  • treborddot rob todd (@treborddot) reported

    @virginmedia So we will all get compensation for the failures then as the amount of £££ high three digit number I pay a month and I’m in credit I think I should get something back at least !!! Customer service has always been rubbish though

  • adamsjohn4557 John adams (@adamsjohn4557) reported

    @virginmedia Can we have another update for this outage #plymouth

  • 2222233f1 2222233f1 (@2222233f1) reported

    @HurcombeDavid @virginmedia they're working as hard as they can. You saying "hurry and fix it" wont do **** lol Touch some grass. Go outside and enjoy something else rather than sat infront of your TV.

  • AndreaRice54 Andi- vote for anyone BUT your current MP (@AndreaRice54) reported

    Isn’t it brilliant. Pay big money for aTV service, start watching series, then the expensive service fails. It’s like going to the cinema and leaving for half an hour in the middle. Absolute Disgrace #virginmedia @virginmedia
