    @virginmedia They keep closing it and I have to start from scratch. The issue is that my contract and my sales agreement are different. I thought I was getting somewhere last night when an advisor told me they’d get a manager. Instead they closed my chat

  • trottermick Mavis Cartwright (@trottermick) reported from Wigan, England

    @EmmettGraham @virginmedia Well I can’t say I’m surprised! The other week I was on hold for almost an hour, then was cut off, never actually got through!! Do let me know how you go on.

  • joniredchops Joniredchops (@joniredchops) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia Cancelled yesterday. Was happy at £25 a month. Looks like we're off to Vodafone or Plusnet for £22. Shame really, been a decent service.

  • SafwanMullaaa SafTheOne (@SafwanMullaaa) reported from Bolton, England

    Thought my @virginmedia Internet went down again since I was scrolling on Instagram dark mode and thought nothing was loading! Then I remembered its the Blackout thing #Instagram

  • trottermick Mavis Cartwright (@trottermick) reported from Wigan, England

    @EmmettGraham @virginmedia I actually took the option of “Are You Thinking Of Leaving Us” earlier. I was answered quite quickly, but nothing was resolved. I was, as usual transferred to somebody else and then on hold for 10mins. Still nothing resolved with my issue, Good Luck to you.

  • trottermick Mavis Cartwright (@trottermick) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia Ring the no you gave me. Passsed on to Krishia. Told me cheque has been requested but doesn’t know why never been sent. Asked me to wait 7days and she will ring me back to see If I have received it. So no further forward!! Such a Dire Company!!

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • patrick_kelly18 Patrick Kelly (@patrick_kelly18) reported

    @virginmedia This has been ongoing since January despite reassurances from your team there was no issues on three separate occasions. Hours of phone calls, what's app chats, nobody taking responsibility for this. Calls disconnected twice at your end.

  • ClarkySpurs Clarky (@ClarkySpurs) reported

    @virginmedia Can’t reconnect. Isn’t there an easier way to discuss? Issue is literally I have no internet so doing it over the internet seems crazy.

  • HAYNES1E Chris Haynes (@HAYNES1E) reported

    @virginmedia Another day of intermittent / no service from @virginmedia, the UK’s most comical narrowband provider. 3 days of utter dross. Registered issues with the mothership. Won’t hold my breath. One more day and then it’s look at new provider.

  • 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

  • isaac20070707 Isaac Vaughn (@isaac20070707) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, is the issue resolved in the area? I’m still getting constant service dropped throughout the day.

  • Cheeky_Celt88 🍀Claire🍀 (@Cheeky_Celt88) reported

    @virginmedia are you supplying any service to anybody today at all.? G66 area fault due to be fixed at 08:05am and no update on the app, no phone no broadband & no Tv!

  • mattsaze Matt Saze (@mattsaze) reported

    @bethkorf @virginmedia We spoke with bereavement service when mum passed away and are now getting constant sales calls asking to speak to her as account deactivated and want her to sign up. No respect whatsoever

  • rossaverde Pat Oddy 🇪🇺🐟🕷 (@rossaverde) reported

    @virginmedia No, will ask tomorrow. I borrowed another phone to test if the crackle was still there, and it was, so think the problem must be with the socket. Really pleased someone is coming to see it, was sure I would be told to do all sorts of tests myself!
