    @virginmedia Looks like there are issues that need to be resolved hopefully by tomorrow.. Is this something that might be fixed sooner and am I able to seek compensation?

  • jrseloto
    Francisco Soler (Jr) (@jrseloto) reported from City of London, England

    @virginmedia If you were sorry, this issues was fixed long time ago…

  • mariesnotcool
    Mariachiara (@mariesnotcool) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia we’ve had no service in EC1V London, since our Wi-Fi was installed last month. We’ve tried to call countless time and we keep being told about “area issues” that would be solved the day after but never do. This is just unacceptable behaviour!

  • JeffSalmon
    Jeff Salmon (@JeffSalmon) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia Your bland response is no different to the info being said on your website. Rather than tell everyone that the fix will be ready in a few hours (as you have done for the past three days), why not tell us what the problem is and stop giving us false hopes. Your response please.

  • MisterLeeDaniel
    Mr Lee Daniel (@MisterLeeDaniel) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Stop calling me then hanging up. That’s rude.

  • JeffSalmon
    Jeff Salmon (@JeffSalmon) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia As I have already told you-the service checker simply, and probably purposely, give us a fixed time of 4/5 hours after any time you look at it. In short virgin are just “moving goal posts“. Why are you unable to tell 100s of your subscribers what the problem is. Is it laziness?

    @thatmisterj @virginmedia I'm so sick of it I WILL be leaving Virgin. No-one picking up phone, Just saying there appears to be an intermittent fault. Well No **** Sherlock, I already know that. A dumb text telling me to do what I've already done. I'm not thick Virgin I just want the service I pay for.

    @virginmedia Do you, or could you make a TV box remote for the elderly? Tiny buttons with tinier symbols instead of words, black buttons on black body.... Almost impossible for some older people to use. An OAP version with larger coloured buttons would be such a help!

  • tripodmatt
    Matrim Red Hand (@tripodmatt) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia hello - I'm moving house and was told I'd receive something to post back your equipment. Nothing yet. I tried to call but was cut off. Any help?

  • BeckyKellyNews
    Becky Kelly (Göllner) (@BeckyKellyNews) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia He has tried this and every time it just reverts to an automated bot response that doesn’t accept/understand /respond to his request to cancel. I need another way. As it’s proving impossible and stressful

  • KikassP
    kikassPhotography(official) 🇬🇧🇺🇦 (@KikassP) reported from London, England

    Please @virginmedia can you change your waiting music. Its the same 4 tracks adnauseum & very poor quality at that. No wonder customers who wait for over an hour hang up. Its enough to drive you mad with these earworms all day.

    @virginmedia @virginhelp Tries test but got a message it couldn't andnto try later. Not checked other service but you have a known issue re TV services on your status page

  • joybrenda
    Brenda (@joybrenda) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia help why have you made it so difficult to log a landline vault on line. Need to call, as line out of order since friday. I am certain it's systems fault as display message I have seen on previous occasions.

  • MisterLeeDaniel
    Mr Lee Daniel (@MisterLeeDaniel) reported from London, England

    Please could @virginmedia on 0330 303 5309 stop calling me, then immediately hanging up. That’s rude. I’ve now blocked your number.

  • Lisboadolphin71
    Lusitano71 (@Lisboadolphin71) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia no services for all 5 days now! Your customer care is appalling! And, apparently, nothing is wrong, according to your website. Bad!!

  • emmalouchu
    Emma Churcher-Holt (@emmalouchu) reported from Camden Town, England

    @BBCWatchdog I was without TV service with Virgin Media for over a week this month, could only use chat bot, eventually a live chat with a person because I took to twitter, but they couldn't help me either. Still waiting for the comp form they said would come automatically.

  • Barchetta66
    Helen Pinkers (@Barchetta66) reported from Camden Town, England

    Our 4th day of no internet thanks to @virginmedia Can’t talk to a person. Fix date changes three times a day and it’s yet to be fixed. And yet they take a small fortunes out of our account every month.

  • BBLn15
    Helen Reihill (@BBLn15) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia 14 hour wait for a response on your chat bot and I still haven’t passed security. That’s some service

  • mistervickster
    Vignesh (@mistervickster) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia how do you have the worst customer service ? Will just have to book a technician to sort out issues with account login.

  • islingtonlloyd

    Nope, not just me. Hurry up & fix it @virginmedia , I want to watch the game in UHD

    Thank you @virginmedia for this well timed outage that means I’ll need to need to take my laptop on holiday 🙄🙄🙄

  • PaulFJonescom
    Paul Jones (@PaulFJonescom) reported

    @virginmedia are totally incompetent. Cancelled my service. Was told I will get a final bill and can ignore my current bill. Now have final bill and have a late payment charge for previous bill added. Cant get through on phone lines. Be wary when cancelling your services people!

  • kellyokid
    Steve Kelly (@kellyokid) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, would appreciate some contact from you! Apparently I’m now out of contract and my price per month has doubled, no communication from you and I’ve only found out because one of my boxes has decided not to work as a result of broadband connection issues! Brilliant!

  • Saqqara
    Still me (@Saqqara) reported

    @virginmedia friend in the LU5 area has just called and has no internet or phone, do you have problems in the area and if you do any timeframe on a fix?

  • DjClaireb
    Claire Branscombe (@DjClaireb) reported

    @virginmedia any reason why we have constant buffering issues on all HD channels at all? Primarily sky sports and More 4. Have checked our status and all good. Unable to watch the Hundred ticket today as it freezes

  • cdavo25
    Chris Davis (@cdavo25) reported

    @MaxiedotVox @virginmedia Yea iv had issues for over a week now, they tell me 'o it will be fixed by the 23rd' 20min ago they text me saying they've found the issue and the engineer is on his way..... the 29th at 4pm 🤬🤬 where's the engineer coming from is it takes 6days @virginmedia

  • je_durrant
    James Durrant (@je_durrant) reported

    @virginmedia I did that earlier today and your colleague confirmed nothing can be done until 17th August, over a month since this started. Now you’re saying it’s £1660 to exit a service I can’t even use. “Taking responsibility” and “monitoring” doesn’t solve my problem

  • markkinga
    Mark King (@markkinga) reported

    Is @virginmedia in trouble?, as im trying to work out why i need 2 to 3 sales calls a day. I get a rubbish email once a week. Why not email something i might be interested in rather than constant phone calls im sure i never consented too.

  • dirkdiggler44
    Dirk Diggler (@dirkdiggler44) reported

    @virginmedia can’t log into my account.Rang customer service and their script doesn’t cover my problem. gets usual change password advise yet I can log on with my phone so nt a password issue. They have to escalate which takes 5-10 working days. No wonder Ofcom fine you millions
