    Pilar Gómez (@_dreamer_) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Actually, the new owners are porting their virgin contract here, if the contract is per property, and it will be Virgin providing the service, that would mean we DON'T have to pay the fee right?

  • 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.

    @virginmobileuk @virginmedia hi I ordered a phone on the 29 July not heard anything until yesterday then order was done but no credit agreement received phone call to you again for an hour today no resolution call handler said he would call back still no call 😩

    Hey @virginmedia there’s something VERY wrong with my Wi-Fi. I followed your online instructions and it didn’t clear the problem. I have a really busy few days. What’s the quickest, easiest way of getting it sorted?

  • williamjbrown
    william brown (@williamjbrown) reported from Bristol, England

    @BorisJohnson I can only get virginmedia (at an extortionate price) as it’s the only one who supply more than slow basic speeds - and this is the centre of bristol. Nothings improved for most of us - not only for this but everything else since you’ve wrecked our economy

  • MTurnerNFL
    Matthew Turner (@MTurnerNFL) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Hi there, the engineer came round but it hasn't fixed the issues. It's dropped 4 times now in the last hour, despite me doing a full reset. It's completely unusable. Please help!!

  • williamjbrown
    william brown (@williamjbrown) reported from Bristol, England

    @O2 @virginmedia Shame you can’t even cope with the odeon cinema tickets every week counts down to time then all I get is “something went wrong”

  • alisterbetts
    Alister Betts (@alisterbetts) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia - if I have a problem actually logging in, it would appear that there is no way to actually contact you... help please!

  • algro10
    Al (@algro10) reported from Clevedon, England

    @10sam_h Yeah likewise, virgin media awful still not sorted it

    Rajnish Razdan (@RajnishRazdan) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia If you’ve got something positive to contribute DM me, like getting someone to call me. Why would I remember the details of 2 hours that I will never get back

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

    @virginmedia I'm disappointed with the service I have received. Finally ended my contract, claimed my credit refund only for it still not arrive 6weeks later. Called call centre & was told I'd have to wait 2/3 more weeks. Why? Its unacceptable to have to wait so long. #complaint

  • 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

  • chloehester
    Chloe (@chloehester) reported from Bristol, England

    Why does @virginmedia online chat never work?! Its a nightmare trying to get through on the phone 😭 I just need to change my package ffs.

  • BRFCSamuel
    Sam 🏴‍☠️ (@BRFCSamuel) reported from Kingswood, England

    @virginmedia This contact was via the phone. He did give a reason, the reason being he didn’t know what the problem was. So told us to sit here and wait with no Wi-Fi and hope it sorts itself out.

  • MTurnerNFL
    Matthew Turner (@MTurnerNFL) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Even if everything is replaced. Box, entire cabling, whatever. I'm not getting the service that I pay for, over an extended period of time.

  • lazy__goth
    Tiffany (@lazy__goth) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia No, it doesn’t, and the internet goes down again within hours, usually in the evening when I presume there’s high usage. We’re in a loop - report issue, told issue is resolved, issue happens again.

  • DanielFry23
    Daniel Fry (@DanielFry23) reported from Filton, England

    @bt_uk No need to Matt, appreciate your concerns I’m just saying your service currently is the same level as virgin media who I’m with which always cuts in and hot. Too many users using the overcrowded boxes

  • xChuChux911
    Hi, call me Chu x (@xChuChux911) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia I never gave out any personal information as I knew it was a scam cus I'm with Sky. The number was 02045099664 but it was spoofed. Lady had an Indian accent and said technicians in my area had fould a fault which was affecting my computer.

  • 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.

    @rokokoprufei @virginmedia I had a slightly more techie issue with my ISP. They lied to me that they supported a feature that they actually didn't, and when i went to use it i found out. I just wanted to set up a Minecraft server for friends to log into without mucking around wiht changing IP addresses

    Sinbinnin (@sinbinnin) reported

    @virginmedia We have had no TV in L22 since Saturday 11th July, outage checker has shown fix time this afternoon - just received a text to say engineer on the way, fix time now tomorrow. This is a bit more than rubbish, how do I claim compensation? (I thought it was automatic)

    Becky (@Becky_Batch) reported

    Dealing with @virginmedia A Modern Day Horror Story May 4th: Engineer turns up to resolve a cable issue CAUSED by Virgin. ‘It’s a two person job, we will have to rearrange.’ May 21st: Waited in from 8-1pm, get a message at 1.30pm to say no one coming today

  • HopeForTo

    @virginmedia We have but over the PO post code area as a whole, it seems to be affecting many customers . Its two issues and its not our equipment its yours.

  • Samet_UK
    Samet (@Samet_UK) reported

    @AmyHeppi @virginmedia Same here. It’s been over 24 hours and my Wi-Fi is still down. I’ve called support twice—they only say there’s an area outage with no updates. The status page isn't helpful too. Really disappointed with Virgin Media. Time to look at other providers.

  • Lifeline04India
    MR COOL (@Lifeline04India) reported

    @virginmedia Team I am waiting for 5 days it’s still the same. Can u help me to fix the issue? I don’t know if it’s connected to router.

  • brummiedebz
    Debzy G 🦅🐦‍⬛🦉 (@brummiedebz) reported

    @virginmedia @HopeForTo There are people from various areas of the UK telling you that they have a WiFi outage at the same time Service checker confirms it for those who’ve told you. Which means it’s not an equipment issue. It’s a Virgin Media national issue and yet no announcement on here
