  • Milesenberg
    Miles (@Milesenberg) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia my mum's landline is down and she's found your customer service that she's tried to call on mobile completely unhelpful. She needs an engineer to go to her house to fix it.

  • LOCKLEYHOBSON
    Richard J. Lockley-Hobson (@LOCKLEYHOBSON) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia No internet. You say they’re are no problems in my area. You’re liars #virginmedia …

  • ruthcottz
    Ruth Cottingham💙 (@ruthcottz) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia no Internet in BS16 1DY. I called 150. Your recorded message says service out until 3pm, as you're "working to improve services" in this area. Why didn't you tell us before?!

  • emmainglasgow
    emmainbristol (@emmainglasgow) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia what's the deal, my box hasn't worked for 2 days??? This is the 3rd technical problem lasting more than 2 days that I've had this year. This is ridiculous now

  • j_bettany
    Jacob (@j_bettany) reported from Clevedon, England

    So many scammers calling from '@VirginMedia Technical Support' at the moment. 5 in 24 hours. I've taken to suggesting they might think about getting a different job but heartbreaking to get the response, 'can you give me one?' It's basically #organisedcrime built on #poverty

  • neilcairns
    Neil Cairns (@neilcairns) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Yes. Powered down, switched off etc etc. Why would only certain content not delete and other content delete fine? Doesn’t make sense?

  • AngelMel2017
    AngelMelSelector (@AngelMel2017) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Thank you for your reply. He told me that the cheque had not been activated when I first called 5th June. I was told it would be sent out via check. He told me today it would take a further 2/3 weeks. Sadly was no help at all. 😒😥

  • AcuharmonyUK
    Acuharmony-UK (@AcuharmonyUK) reported from Clevedon, England

    @virginmedia No reported issues. Tried the fixes before, and so did virgin chat. Not just my handset, other people are having the same problem. Am I going to have to change networks, is that what you're saying? Due to the change to O2?

  • RajnishRazdan
    Rajnish Razdan (@RajnishRazdan) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia it’s amazing isn’t it - you never pick up calls or cut me off so I go to your site to change my package as you’re charging me for things I don’t have and amazingly your live chat button doesn’t work either.

  • creativeskg
    Stuart Gallop (@creativeskg) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Your TV and internet services in BS8 Bristol are still down! When is this being resolved!? #VirginMediaoutage

  • burdmiester
    Paul Burdon (@burdmiester) reported from Kingswood, England

    @virginmedia broadband in BS166EB is totally rubbish again, got to switch this service is really really poor #inconsistent at best.

  • tinabadley
    Tina Badley (@tinabadley) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia is everything down in BS1? Trying to work and can't send any emails 🙄

  • dave_backwell
    David Lloyd (@dave_backwell) reported from Backwell, England

    Appalling customer service thread to follow about @VirginMedia. 6 months ago my partner and I moved in together. We were both customers with @virginmedia but for obvious reasons decided we only needed one account in our new house ...

  • dave_backwell
    David Lloyd (@dave_backwell) reported from Backwell, England

    She tried to complain, but got nowhere. This month her contract expired, so she tried again. Yesterday she spoke to a customer service guy @virginmedia who was very surprised at what she had been told back in July. He told her to contact the house moving dept, who'd refund her

  • Superstan_92
    J Stan (@Superstan_92) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Multiple problems when moving home. Now we have been told we won't have anything installed until 31st December when we moved in on 29th November.

  • AngelMel2017
    AngelMelSelector (@AngelMel2017) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Hello, following on from my tweet regarding complaint of not receiving my credit refund. I have not heard back from the complaints team. What's the best way to proceed? Thanks

  • brizzleboy
    pete jones (@brizzleboy) reported from Avonmouth, England

    @virginmedia Sadly the phone never gets answered,we know if they did answer, someone in the retention centre might even help?

  • gillih
    Gill Harrison (@gillih) reported from Portishead and North Weston, England

    @virginmedia @virginhelp Yes. Have done this and spoken with your ‘fault management service’ who cut me off when I was explaining the problem.

  • vinnievoke
    vinnie voke (@vinnievoke) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia @virginhelp so 17h with no reply wicked costumer service

  • neilcairns
    Neil Cairns (@neilcairns) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Why can’t anyone just forward a message or reply to an email? Why does the customer always have to do something else? Absolute ball ache as usual with this nonsense. Wonder how quickly you’d fix issues if people stopped paying their bills?

    Helen Rimmer @thekindbraveleader.bsky.social (@melon_h) reported

    We now have a @virginmedia engineer booked but not until Tuesday, cue loss of earnings, money spent on extra data and petrol to go to my parents to try and use internet. Issue was definitely local area but now been told need engineer. 5 days after first went off.

  • RSpurs1980
    R.A. (@RSpurs1980) reported

    I can’t watch the game. Not because I’m scared of the outcome. But @virginmedia has been down in my area since Thursday. Ya kunts

  • O2
    O2 (@O2) reported

    @kimerthywoo Hi it's us from Virgin Media O2. Sorry to hear your having this issue. If possible could you send us a screenshot of the error you are getting over a private chat, so we can look into this for you.

  • MattyBeer
    Matt Beer (@MattyBeer) reported

    @markenello @virginmedia Seriously mate if its broadband and you can swap to another cable provider do it. And I'm not talking about a big name. We had full fibre installed in street and I jumped to an unknown, did some quick research on them and it was the best decision ever, night and day service.

  • DavidVaughan5
    Wirtz machine (@DavidVaughan5) reported

    @virginmedia My virgin media phone allows incoming calls but every time I phone out its showing as busy? I cant get through to speak to anyone to fix this?

  • SeanSmi59697180
    Sean 💙💛 (@SeanSmi59697180) reported

    @OliverGMcManus @virginmedia Im sure you can after so many days of not working as its breach of contract on their behalf. Look into it.

  • Isomniax
    Iso (@Isomniax) reported

    @OliverGMcManus @virginmedia Pretty sure they’ve actually broken contract here

  • df1888
    d_f1888 (@df1888) reported

    @LutzSchueler @virginmedia We’ve been waiting since January for VM fibre to be installed and the customer service has been shocking. I’ve raised 3 complaints emailed your office and still have not had the service installed. Next stop the communications ombudsman !!

  • Ana1Atkinson
    Ana Atkinson (@Ana1Atkinson) reported

    @virginmedia These problems have been on & off since Thursday. Will we get compensated & will Virgin issue a statement to their customers to let us know what is going on? It seems like you have serious problems & just keep saying it will be fixed in 24 hrs. I have no landline, tv or internet

  • cleggy1966
    Simon (@cleggy1966) reported

    @virginmedia customer service is an absolute shambles. Had an appointment with an engineer for this morning due to issues in HD4 and because the wider issue has been resolved, you cancelled my appointment and didn’t even tell me. I had a separate issue to the outage. Shocking
