    @virginmedia Internet is down in our area since Monday. I keep getting multiple emails saying it'll be fixed by 12pm tomorrow, then 4pm Wednesday 12pm Thursday, 12pm Friday and now 4pm Friday. None of your call centre staff can help us we've spent hours on hold this week.

  • ylilxanoi 🥔 A bean has no name 🥔 (@ylilxanoi) reported from Wigan, England

    @Virgin @virginmedia #virginmediadown #VirginMedia Imagine paying £52 a month for Internet to be down for 5 days. We work from home. I've used all my 4g, had to buy more to do my job yet when you call up they say it'll be fixed by.. and keeps being postponeded. Fix it Virgin.

  • essers Esjay (@essers) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Where is my payment for inconvenience, for stress and for lack of adequate customer support? I hope you will not be charging me for today, since you’ve provided me with nothing but stress. I am tired, I am ill and I am profoundly frustrated with this whole situation.

  • insidewrite1957 Peter Thornton.🇺🇦 (@insidewrite1957) reported from Ramsbottom, England

    @eshelm @simonnread @virginmedia Worst people I’ve ever worked for By a distance

  • ms_sasmassey sarah (@ms_sasmassey) reported from Preston, England

    Hi @virginmedia I've been having TV issues for a few days today is really bad missing channels - error code W02, and intermittent pictures on others

  • Hendy14 Scott Henderson (@Hendy14) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia Is there a problem with your phone system? My Mum has been trying to call for 24 hours on numerous occasions to change package but gets cut off every single time. Your mentions suggest this is happening to lots of others too. Can somebody arrange a callback please?

  • essers Esjay (@essers) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia This should have been simply and readily resolved, as soon as your error was brought to your attention. Just because I can’t afford to pay for the top tier of services doesn’t mean I don’t matter as a customer. A very long term, loyal customer, I would note.

  • Justnick752 Nick-crack-a-way-Nick-crack-away (@Justnick752) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia My hub 4 has a flashing red light and states that No RF signal is found. What does this mean in English please? Keeps happening, no tv, broadband or phone.

  • AnianaAbrudan @AniAna98722504 (@AnianaAbrudan) reported from Urmston, England

    @Virgin media,every months problems with broadband,so hard to get in touch by phone and always they have work to do during day in the week time. So angry now 😤 😒

  • acailler Adam Cailler (@acailler) reported from Manchester, England

    @JournoBird @virginmedia We've had it cut out twice for a few hours, but that was related to the ridiculous heat and they fixed it quickly. I realise everyone will have different experiences 🤦

  • essers Esjay (@essers) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia I have been told that: “Our wait times are very high at the moment due to an unprecedented demand to speak to the team & we are experiencing some issues with our internal systems.” What if I call and am on hold and miss an update on WhatsApp? Or email…

  • J_w_D94 LeChonk (@J_w_D94) reported from Horwich, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I'm tweeting from the device I'm having connectivity and signal issues with, I've looked on the website and it's not stating if you're having network issues or not.

  • LawAspi TheAspiLawStudent #NoReturns (@LawAspi) reported from Chorley, England

    @nerdscav @the_hinchy @virginmedia Yes because a WiFi extender will fix the issue when it's the incoming line and not the hardware 😳. The routers gives a 3ping and 1GBps connection. The issue is virgin's crappy network 👍

  • ylilxanoi 🥔 A bean has no name 🥔 (@ylilxanoi) reported from Wigan, England

    @Virgin #virginmediadown Virgin media is an absolute bag of ****, pass it on

  • HelenMHurley Helen Hurley (@HelenMHurley) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia great customer service from your engineer Pete this morning. Polite, knew his stuff and a credit to your company. 10 out of 10. Would recommend yourselves.

  • SeanKeyes Sean (@SeanKeyes) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia I was heavily sold a renewal based on an engineer installing+configuring everything as we are meant to have the fastest Wi-Fi possible.I installed it and no sign of an engineer,no follow up from Virgin. As per usual.Was also sold some ‘VIP service’ line that’s never been shared!

  • NJWesthead NJW (@NJWesthead) reported from Rawtenstall, England

    @virginmedia Broadband/TV outage until 2:35pm but can’t register a loss of service as page doesn’t load. On 4G so problem is with you. Why advertise you’ll compensate if there’s no way to get it?!

  • Adzcantsing Adz can't sing (@Adzcantsing) reported from Penwortham, England

    @virginmedia useless we are trying to cancel and for past 2 weeks now since we have moved home. We have been pushed from pillar to post, been laughed at by customer service. Since we moved we have we've been promised someone will come and sort it.

  • SeanKeyes Sean (@SeanKeyes) reported from Manchester, England

    Same old @virginhelp @virginmedia more important for them to send a driver to personally collect an old Virgin Hub than send the promised engineer to install the new one and optimise the Wi-Fi signal as had been sold to us. 🤷

  • Glynpeach Glyn Peach (@Glynpeach) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia worst customer support service I’ve ever experienced

    @virginmedia I have paid for all my boxes to be updated and setup by your engineer. I have just spent 45 mins trying to reinstate sky sports, which I pay for and haven’t had since, on my new boxes before your ‘customer service’ abruptly cut me off! What do I do now? 😡

  • madinnit1974 Martin Baker (@madinnit1974) reported

    @virginmedia I’m looking to upgrade my hub 3 as it’s old and rarely gets above 40mbps although we’re on the 350mbps fibre broadband package. I wanted a new hub 3 or the hub 4 but can never speak to a human. I bet if I was a new customer I would get through straight away. 😡

  • AQcouncillor Paul Braithwaite (@AQcouncillor) reported

    @virginmedia What a TERRIBLE monopolistic broadband service you provide in Kentish Town NW5 2LL/2JX. This last 10 days, endless outages. For this you rob me of £60pm. Many neighbours report the same exasperating experience. Can't wait for next month when G-Network goes lives.

  • saltyy_savage SaltyySavage (@saltyy_savage) reported

    I swear @virginmedia have the worst customer service ever! Paying customer of a good package from them for well over 2 years and they can't even get an email correct Which has caused billing issues again that shoukd have been resolved the first time
