  • ScottEaglen Scott Eaglen (@ScottEaglen) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia My service is faulty because I don’t have it. We moved home two weeks ago and were told someone would be here yesterday to install. Nobody turned up. And now nobody can tell me exactly when I should expect someone!

  • blade4life17 Andrew Challenger (@blade4life17) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia how do I cancel my service with you as I no longer need it as I've moved address and it's not round the address I'm currently at

    @Carame1ine @virginmedia At least you've had an email, TV & Broadband down since 9am, expected fix was 13:35 & 17:35, now 23:35. #notworkingfromhome

  • cathd100 Cat Wasnidge (@cathd100) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia can you confirm the issues with wifi today in S62WG? Attemping to work from home is very difficult when the wifi keeps disconnecting. Virgin website says no issue!

    @virginmedia @PlayAvengers @Arekkz He’s got his hair on upside down

  • lisasevern Lisa Severn (@lisasevern) reported from Sheffield, England

    @SkyHelpTeam wow, it's hard to buy a new service from you guys. You're in danger of making Virgin Media look good here

  • ScottEaglen Scott Eaglen (@ScottEaglen) reported from Wakefield, England

    @jmarchy @virginmedia Been alright with us so far mate. But the service today has been absolutely woeful. Nobody has been able to give me an answer, so basically I’m currently paying for something I’m not getting.

  • Danny_Gartside Danny Gartside™ (@Danny_Gartside) reported from Crigglestone, England

    @virginmedia hi folks. Struggling to get some support. I have no connections for my hub to tv box. Struggling

  • HarlamTK Harlam (@HarlamTK) reported from Sheffield, England

    Low and behold... @vmbusiness is down again on the first work day of the week. Makes me wonder how often this happens and I’m normally in the office so don’t notice... I can’t wait to one day move to somewhere where another provider can connect me to fibre optic internet

  • AHawksworth1 Adam Hawksworth (@AHawksworth1) reported from Barnsley, England

    Internet has gone down 4 times in the space of 25 minutes @virginmedia Sort it out.

  • nicohobson nicohobson (@nicohobson) reported from Barnsley, England

    @virginmedia hi , your text service is awful and your agent went missing for 20 mins after I passed security and then said they were going to be an hour? It took 2 days for you to get back in the first place

  • paul_phillips83 Paul David Phillips (@paul_phillips83) reported from Barnsley, England

  • Jimmy_Blue_Eyes James Olsen (@Jimmy_Blue_Eyes) reported

    @virginmedia Still an active customer...the email is an @ntlworld.com address. Haven't posted on the forum but did spend a good bit of time communicating via WhatsApp with one of your colleagues. The issue could be that the email address is not linked to the VM account?

  • DannyReid1984 Danny Reid (@DannyReid1984) reported

    @virginmedia crazy prices for minimal service...

  • happyhippo66 Gary Williams (@happyhippo66) reported

    @virginmedia Well, I resorted to a 9.5 hr WhatsApp thread. Good to have options to connect but you gotta make customer contact work better.

  • lorilunacy Lori Lowson (@lorilunacy) reported

    @virginmedia any idea when broadband will be fixed in Darlington? been having issues since yesterday and today it‘s finally saying there’s a problem in our postcode. An eta would be appreciated.

  • keithlawrence17 keith lawrence (@keithlawrence17) reported

    @virginmedia Still no service. The latest lie is 4pm today. Absolute pants. I will be ditching Virgin as soon as I sort out an alternative provider so forget ant talk about price 🃏

  • CookHenesy CAnwenCH (@CookHenesy) reported

    @virginmedia @Emma97745369 @virginmedia Now 8 days without service… why won’t you allow the customer to leave the company without paying an extortionate fee when you’re literally not providing the service she’s paying for?

  • samwbr sam (@samwbr) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, you have finally updated it to acknowledge there is an issue.

  • EmLane101 Emma Lane (@EmLane101) reported

    @virginmedia what’s going on with your tv service - my tivo is refusing to load any channels at all. Nottingham area.

  • Rach1984651156 Rach1984651 (@Rach1984651156) reported

    @virginmedia my tv is suck on loading 33%. It has been like it all morning. Ng14 area. The service status is showing no issues but i can assure you that there is most definitely a issue!!

  • JamieBenstead Jamie Benstead (@JamieBenstead) reported

    @HarikaMarlow @virginmedia I had the same problem! Been with Virgin for over 10yrs now and have left them. The good deals are for new customers only, not loyal ones...
