    David A (@tofolo_1) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @virginmedia how do I contact the help team? Recently joined and trying to setup billing / online account says to call you. But 0345 is 30p a minute. Can't find webchat, can't find text thing, don't have a live landline yet. I can access the dark web easier!

    Alexander Adair 🌙 (@AlexxAdair) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @virginmedia It wont even let me run a speed test. When I go to status check it says no problem found but when I call I says intermittent issues??

  • LoraineRiddick2
    Loraine Riddick (@LoraineRiddick2) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @virginmedia I’ve phoned numerous times and had to hang up as constantly kept waiting, but will try again this evening when it might be easier to speak to someone

  • Lshire_Laird
    The Lanarkshire Laird (@Lshire_Laird) reported from Motherwell, Scotland

    So @virginmedia broadband and tv appears to be down (again) for hours and their webpage to check service status is offline. I’m currently having to connect my work laptop to my personal phone just to work. This is not good!

  • DRoss215
    David (@DRoss215) reported from Paisley, Scotland

    @virginmedia I have been waiting since Thursday for a representative to get in touch why? @Ofcom service been disconnected for nearly two weeks. Impossible to speak with anyone from Virgin Media 😡😡😡

  • ElaineB50245734
    Elaine Byrne (@ElaineB50245734) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @virginmedia I have a complaint and cannot find a email address for it

  • LoraineRiddick2
    Loraine Riddick (@LoraineRiddick2) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @virginmedia any chance you can contact me regarding my house phone which hasn’t worked for 7weeks. Have written to Sunderland and spoken to robots, and constantly get told to dial 151 which I can’t as house phone line is the problem!ty

  • Karencrafts
    Karen Sime 💙 #TeamNHS (@Karencrafts) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @MargMarvelous @virginmedia I know. Virgin is down in Glasgow but I still need a new hub as the reset button on mine is broken. I’ve been going in circles on the app and website for the best part of an hour. A simple email address would have resolved it in 5 minutes!

  • ChristianBunga7
    bristian cungay (@ChristianBunga7) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    Hey @virginmedia it’d be pretty cool if you guys fixed my internet at some point. Like i know I’ve only spent £30 trying to call you guys and I did get to speak to this nice angry man on your support line who hung up on me immediately (which is a bargain)

  • zandercurrie
    ZanderCurrie (@zandercurrie) reported from Paisley, Scotland

    @virginmedia Wifi not working at all also not letting me watch any live tv?

  • donmackeen
    don mackeen (@donmackeen) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @virginmedia The service checker tells me either nothing, or - as in the screenshot - something completely contradictory. There is no way to communicate with anyone and yet, strangely enough, you still charge me for a service which only works intermittently.

  • reid2131
    Craig Reid (@reid2131) reported from Larkhall, Scotland

    @virginmedia I had a quick start broadband kit sent out. I fitted it all. No broadband, despite 6 calls to your “help” line. Been told a different fault each call. Can this be looked into?

  • ChristianBunga7
    bristian cungay (@ChristianBunga7) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @virginmedia He treated me like I was stupid. Turned it off and on again and replugged the wires, he replaced the box and left. I mean I am stupid but there really was no need @virginmedia

  • wilsonfkp
    Wilson (@wilsonfkp) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @virginmedia seems to be down in Renfrew... No internet for tonight 😭

  • nuttynanaannie
    Anne Marie McPhee (@nuttynanaannie) reported from Motherwell, Scotland

    @virginmedia Hi, no, it initially says no issues in area on testing hub it says there's an intermittent problem with connection and come back in 18 hours!

  • Lshire_Laird
    The Lanarkshire Laird (@Lshire_Laird) reported from Motherwell, Scotland

    @virginmedia Pretty sure you could be asking fir my details in a DM. Otherwise, what was the point in replying to me in the first place. Never mind, I’ll stick to keep calling.

  • ChristianBunga7
    bristian cungay (@ChristianBunga7) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @virginmedia The checks tell me there are issues. regardless I don’t really care about wider issues in my area. I’ve been sent in a loop for the past month and it’s still broken, I’ve been paying for this time and not receiving a service - this is not the first time either @Ofcom

  • G1NG355
    AR #55 (@G1NG355) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @virginmedia that's us done with you guys.. We've been a customer of 30 years and incompetent staff have completed f*cked up.

  • nuttynanaannie
    Anne Marie McPhee (@nuttynanaannie) reported from Motherwell, Scotland

    @virginmedia Can anyone advise when I will have Internet. Been down since early hours and I return to work from home tomorrow. J6st says there's intermittent connection issue.

  • reid2131
    Craig Reid (@reid2131) reported from Larkhall, Scotland

    @virginmedia He came at 0730 Saturday. All fixed by 0755. The cable outside was cut. No signal getting in. All fixed so easily by the engineer

    @Hank83416250473 @virginmedia Always go here to report it myself. It’ll usually tell you if there’s an issue in your area and when it’s likely to be fixed

  • MikeModelsky
    Michael “Mecha” Modelsky (@MikeModelsky) reported

    Is anyone else on @O2 finding that since the @virginmedia team up the service is horrendous, has taken my partner seven weeks to get their account unlocked, no it’s been unlocked. They can’t pay their bill due to an insecure website issue and too many redirects.

  • NicolaDonnan
    Nichola 2020 (@NicolaDonnan) reported

    @virginmedia how do we speak to a real person? A lorry knocked down or phone pole today meaning 5 houses have lost their phone/ WiFi cable. We need to organise reconnection.

  • redjohnno1
    Eye of the the storm (@redjohnno1) reported

    @virginmedia 15years a customer, tried to renew 3 times. 3 times you did it wrong, given up and moved to sky. Your customer service is absolutely shocking and zero customer loyalty

  • OnTheMeter
    OnTheMeter (@OnTheMeter) reported

    @misselledee @virginmedia Despite the content of your message, they answer you like this is the first contact. I’ve been with them from day one because I always seem to get a good deal. But god help you if you need customer services. In my experience, they tie with Vodafone as the worst in the world.

  • pwcwright
    Sprout57 (@pwcwright) reported

    @misselledee @virginmedia Yes, you can cancel. They have failed to uphold their end of the contract, including the no-show appointments

  • BroughtonJo
    Jo Broughton (@BroughtonJo) reported

    @virginmedia No WiFi since Wednesday, apparently Engineers are ‘working hard to resolve the issue’ except having driven the entire area…no Engineers working anywhere? just want an honest answer to what’s going on and when it’s going to be fixed

  • AlloquiStrix
    Alloqui Strix (@AlloquiStrix) reported

    @virginmedia and another update just received saying it will be fixed today. Honestly, make your mind up. The BB service is excellent when it works. When it doesn't you guys seem to take a trip to the local brewery and drink lemonde!

  • Tiz1132667
    Tiz (@Tiz1132667) reported

    @virginmedia It's becoming ridiculous the amount of times "there is an outage in my area." Think it may be time to move to another provider!

  • kevin_cox9211
    kevin cox (@kevin_cox9211) reported

    @virginmedia I need help the call centre person isn't helping and won't listen. Can't get on to account a replacement box that was ordered is now not been ordered.
