    Just spoken to @virginmedia customer services about red light on my hub. They GUARANTEED that the light will revert to white in the next 24 hours. Wonder what happen if their guarantee fails?

    @virginmedia what is going on with the broadband as it's down again and I can't ring 150 from my landline as it's coming up that the number hasn't been recognised

    @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

    @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”

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

    So why is it impossible to speak to a real person at @virginmedia ? Live chat is down, phone leads to a system test then hangs up. I just want to speak to someone 😩 #virginmedia

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

    @virginmedia Tried to send you a WhatsApp message but got the following message back: "Thanks for choosing to Message us today. We don’t have availability to accept any more messages for faults at the current time." Why is getting help so difficult?

    @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

  • bethkorf
    Beth Ryan (@bethkorf) reported from Kingswood, England

    @virginmedia Its done now but fairly sure it shouldn't take your agents 45 mins to cancel sky and bt sports and change the TV package to the basic. Maybe more training or better systems are needed. Just saying Sky took about 3 minutes to cancel BT sports for me a year or so ago #competitors

    @virginmedia If it's better customer service then that would be better than having to be with O2

  • DigitalJonathan

    Genius timing @virginmedia - webinar to deliver in 2 hours and now you go cold again. I’m not even surprised. Terrible company, utterly unreliable.

  • 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!

    Sean Lewis (@brizzlesean) reported from Yate, England

    Honestly, #virginmedia , #Fortnite AND #rocketleague down on the same day?! My son has pretty much had an emotional breakdown.

    @stewartcarter6 Appears it’s a Virgin media issue , shambles

  • LetRIP
    Matt (@LetRIP) reported from Thornbury, England

    @virginmedia Quite the worst customer contact centre ever. Website does not offer phone or email contact. Only way to get web chat is to go to complaints page. 1 hour to get a 1 minute task done. Deliberately cut off twice. #poorservice

  • garethbalmer
    Gareth Balmer (@garethbalmer) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia All good now - there were some power issues in another part of Gloucester that seemed to be causing the V6 box at our house and a few friends to restart. Very odd

    Has anyone else's @virginmedia email gone down AGAIN? I'm trying to run a business here.

    🛜 I’m safely back from the dentist’s 😷 (only a 6 monthly check-up and all was well) but now our internet is down and not likely to be resolved until 17:30! @virginmedia 👋 I can’t afford to use up all my mobile data chatting on social media so I’ll see you when if it’s sorted!

    @j_ball13 @virginmedia when my mum died she was the primary account holder of our t3sc0 mobile family plan. instead of letting us switch our dad to the named person on the account, they cut our contracts off and left us with no working signal at all. absolute rubbish, i think they even put a block on

    Scottt Kirkwoodd (@2gurlys1kupp) reported

    @jokewapo @O2 @virginmedia Mate how bad is the 02 signal up our way now! Phoned them to see if there was an issue and it's something to do with the mast

    @virginmedia haven’t you just been fined for making it hard to cancel. It’s nearly impossible day 2 still no reply

  • ProUniversalUK

    Trying to cancel @virginmedia .... What a pain in the ***. No wonder they got fined so much for making it hard but they are still at it. @Ofcom

    @virginmedia will I get compensation from you for being down ? …… I work from home and you are now costing me money for every hour you are down ?

  • CleanzineEditor
    Jan Hobbs (@CleanzineEditor) reported

    @virginmedia been locked out of webmail since 22 May. Supposedly repaired & reset but though I can now get into my account I STILL can't access webmail. Still showing Forbidden 403 despite my tech expert working on it several hrs today. 9 WEEKS! Paying £133.50/mth. HELP PLEASE!

    @VirginMediaIE Day 10. Literally have no words left to describe how inept Virgin Media are. No tv service for 10 days since we moved home & had media connect technician set up our broadband (which works!) & our tv service,which spectacularly does not.

  • victor50
    Kev (@victor50) reported

    @virginmedia if Virgin paid me £5 for every time the wifi went down, I’d be a wealthy man. I am anyway, but not quite enough to sue under the trades description act for diabolical service. Absolutely awful. The new provider can’t get in our area quick enough.

    Sir Christopher (@chrishenry88) reported

    @virginmedia I paid an amount of money on 15-07-26 , it still has not been deducted from the Virgin media app , it has from my account . My service is dire , as usual . Why is this an ongoing problem ?
