    Adam Gardiner 💙 (@_AdamGardiner) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia It’s everything connected via Wi-Fi. I don’t have the connect app. I check for service status on your website and it usually says there isn’t an issue, but that doesn’t reflect my service.

  • CallyRaven
    Carol Rowles (@CallyRaven) reported from Westhoughton, England

    @virginmedia 3 times in 3 weeks we are without internet! We are paying for a service we are not able to use! Are we going to be compensated for this?

  • TheWiganParky
    Laser Lux, Wigan. (@TheWiganParky) reported from Haydock, England

    @virginmedia If my bill went down with my speed, I wouldn't mind.

  • johnsonhomes2
    johnsonhomes (@johnsonhomes2) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia Her phone like works at the moment because she has power but not in a power cut. This is one of the issues set out in the email which VM requested I send on Wednesday

  • Laura_May_Ness
    Laura May (@Laura_May_Ness) reported from Manchester, England

    Hi @virginmedia I have just moved into a new apartment where Wi-Fi is included. I have registered as a resident and I have received a pre-contract email but no account number and I am unable to connect to the Internet. Can you help me set things up?

    @virginmedia Will do. That was your cue to step in and offer some ‘customer service’ btw.

  • tuite_liz
    Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia 2/2 who can I speak to as it was working fine on Friday until the issues that were nothing to do with me happened, so don’t see why I should now pay for a technician

  • mark001282
    Mark Armstrong (@mark001282) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Don't give me your copy and pasted waffle. You have done nothing to help. You have been an absolute thorn in my side! "I'm so sorry you feel this way" is such an outdated and terrible response from a marketing point of view btw.

    Smyth Harper 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇺🇦☘️ (@sharper76) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia I’ve just connected a new router for faster speeds and it isn’t working. I’ve called up and your customer services person who told me contradictory information, put me on hold and then hung up on me.

    @virginmedia are you down again in M20? Hub flashing red again.

    🦔🦊Johnny1983 🦝🐱 (Big Animal Lover🐕🐶🐁) (@JohnnyDude1983) reported from Bury, England

    @bazza141 @virginhelp @virginmedia Join the club. I spent over 1hr 30 mins trying to get a issue resolved . I kept getting through to their over-seas call centres . It took almost 20 call re-tries to get through to a young lady over in Newcastle 😳😞. It's rediculous that they got call centres in 17 countries.

    @DoctorLemma Well done . Always had great service from @virginmedia just cant afford them anymore.

    Is anyone experiencing a Virgin Media outage in M6 currently? Fibre Broadband is struggling to connect

  • roslers_vest
    Scott Moseley (@roslers_vest) reported from Rochdale, England

    @virginmedia well the woeful service in Heywood continues after “fixing” the fault this morning which resulted in me being unable to work from home the network has dropped again this evening absolutely shocking service

  • _AdamGardiner
    Adam Gardiner 💙 (@_AdamGardiner) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia Will they help if the Wi-Fi is working at the time I call? Because my issue is that when it is working, your advisors consider their work done despite telling them that it usually doesn’t last. And invariable, it doesn’t.

  • nathantalbot
    Nathan Talbot (@nathantalbot) reported from Urmston, England

    (Test) Is anyone experiencing a virgin media Internet outage in M6?

    @virginmedia Many hours now with no TV on any channel. Unacceptable when your service is so expensive.

  • iron_cereal
    Michael Wisbach (@iron_cereal) reported

    @virginmedia What about those waiting an hour on hold for an issue that appears to be VM's fault. Just wanting a new hub as old one has red light on. Contacted you about this one day ago. Your customer service is awful!

  • GarethJHowells
    Gareth Howells (@GarethJHowells) reported

    @virginmedia It’s ok just out the price up again for poor service 👍🏻

  • pilome2
    Jo (@pilome2) reported

    @5IMON_ @virginmedia Exactly the same here in Glasgow. I can watch youtube on the app. Hopefully they get a finger out and fix it.

  • theGROWcompany
    Rachel Rosser (@theGROWcompany) reported

    @virginmedia Usual rubbish service from Virgin 🙄. No internet, been on hold for 45 minutes with no voice update just some ear splitting ‘jazz’ repeating the same one track. How can a huge company continue to behave like this 🤨

  • balvennie999
    Balvennie999 (@balvennie999) reported

    @virginmedia Hi again. I am having problems with my TV service and cannot get anyone to talk to. I was here previously but contact seems to have stalled.

  • GrantRfc89
    ... (@GrantRfc89) reported

    @ArmchairAdml Just give notice or switch to a different provider. I had similar with Virgin media recently and literally had to have my wife try and open a new account at the address before I got a deal comparable to the new customer one.

  • Dee_Har1762
    Dee H (@Dee_Har1762) reported

    @virginmedia ITV still not working

  • V_hardsteppa
    VanessaH (@V_hardsteppa) reported

    @virginmedia Shockingly bad, also my broadband speeds are rubbish!

  • PractiPurple
    PracticallyPurple (@PractiPurple) reported

    @virginmedia But for over an hour your website reported that there were no issues! And then I was told I don't actually have an account at all. Why do I have to go on the Mirror website to find this all out . Bad customer service
