  • Lerounxi Reece Jordan Doonan, RN (@Lerounxi) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia can you confirm if there’s active engineer trying to rectify the service outage Manchester (M30). Widespread issues reported according to your service outage on website ?

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia Could the problems in the area have caused damage to the equipment? As it was working fine before. Do I get compensation for all this time as the earliest appointment is Friday 14th?

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

    @virginmedia network down again in Heywood appalling lack of service yet again

  • Hasbullins Hazbullins (@Hasbullins) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia New call of duty released today and your Internet service is down. Are you taking the full piss out of me here? Wankers

  • 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

  • JoshuaBurns Josh B (@JoshuaBurns) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia I will. 2nd week in and these kind of issues is worrying considering my partner needs a connection to work from home. How long do I have to switch providers is it 30 days?

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

    @virginmedia Submitting a complaint will probably result in an apology at best. Given I pay £1k per annum for an unreliable service it’s time to look for an alternative provider who can offer a more satisfactory customer experience

  • SurrealPaulT Paul Terry (@SurrealPaulT) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia hi Virgin. We had an outage of broadband and TV services beginning 23rd Sept which lasted for 4 days. At the time we were told we would be compensated for this loss. As it hasn't come off our latest bill, how do we claim?

  • tomrushton88 Tom Rushton (@tomrushton88) reported from Haydock, England

    @virginmedia And the last complaint I raised over this got cancelled because it didn't have any details to the complaint even though all the messages are there to see through your WhatsApp service but the retentions team can't see that or deal with the complaint or help in anyway way

  • tomrushton88 Tom Rushton (@tomrushton88) reported from Haydock, England

    @virginmedia Don't use this company its disgusting and disappointing the way they treat customers. Been trying to sort my contract out for 3 months now while they rob my money, create contracts that I've not agreed to and cancel complaints that I've raised.

  • Miniboom2 Rach (legacy fan) (@Miniboom2) reported from Salford, England

    Ah @virginmedia with this up and down service today you are really spoiling us!

  • rachaelstafford Rachael Stafford (@rachaelstafford) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia shocking service from you today, I booked an engineer visit for my mum supposed to come today between 12-4 nobody came she’s since called and been told it was a phone call not a visit but still nobody had called. She’s now got to wait till Tuesday for a visit 😠

  • Elisabet0490 🪷Elisabet🪷 (@Elisabet0490) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia my internet has been suffering drop outs all day, now I have no working TV or internet. Being told it's my equipment when it never is, it's getting old that excuse. I will apparently have to wait 3 days for "an engineer to come out" - I can't I have to go to work 😤

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

    @virginmedia Yes currently showing resolution time of 0230 04/11 this is a really poor service it has been off for the majority of the day

  • tomrushton88 Tom Rushton (@tomrushton88) reported from Haydock, England

    @virginmedia Or put me through to a manager or try to be remotely helpful in keeping me as a customer, im trying to sign an 18 month contract to give you money every month which I could just give to someone else I will not let this lie till i have my money back!

  • JoshuaBurns Josh B (@JoshuaBurns) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Yes, tried last night and your service status page was actually down. Today I checked and it showed no issues, I run the diagnostic and no issues either. Came back up late this afternoon.

  • JoshuaBurns Josh B (@JoshuaBurns) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia on my second week of being a first time customer with you and my connection has been down for nearly 10 hours now. What’s going on?

  • pstock62 Paul Stockton (@pstock62) reported from Horwich, England

  • gporter1983 Gary Porter (@gporter1983) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, I’m having issues with my broadband. The connect app says I need a booster as I have poor signal in parts of my house but when I click the link on the app to order them I get an error saying ‘oops, something went wrong, you can’t upgrade online’ can someone help?

  • mellor_kay Kay Mellor (@mellor_kay) reported

    @virginmedia I have a formal Complaint logged as I was given a price to renew my contract agreed to the price Ts & Cs read out to me etc then told oh sorry you can’t have it at that price !!!

  • Miaopow T (@Miaopow) reported from Richmond, England

    @virginmedia why is it when I do FaceTime or WhatsApp messenger to someone also on Virgin network it doesn’t allow me to? And I have to go to my 4G. That seems ridiculous!

  • janeMB_paints Jane Molineaux Boon (@janeMB_paints) reported

    @virginmedia So are you long-standing customers going to get these benefits? We pay a fortune for an average service. Where are our deals and bargains? The cost of your service is making me seriously look at your competitors

  • Sodium110 Sodium1 (@Sodium110) reported

    @quigley_mick @virginmedia I have tried to downgrade for over 1 month to make contact through their messaging service, it takes about a day for them to reply! By then I have missed them as it's impossible to stay awake long enough. Maybe it's because their cattle shed call centre is also a milk parlour.

  • shipley_chrissy chrissy shipley (@shipley_chrissy) reported

    @virginmedia 4 hours on a chat not to solve the problems. Only been with them 3 DAYS

  • the_realquiz Jimmy G (@the_realquiz) reported

    @virginmedia can someone help me create an account? I’ve been a customer for years but my login has been cancelled and I can’t re-register?!

  • petermcuk Peter McFadden (@petermcuk) reported

    @virginmedia If you have issues with the Internet and call them, a recorded voice tells you the BEST way to get it fixed is to go to Virgin's website... On the errrr, INTERNET! 🤬

  • Sodium110 Sodium1 (@Sodium110) reported

    @quigley_mick @virginmedia They seem to think Covid only affects them. What about their customers who need to cut back on outgoing bills ? If #openreach had a good network, there are loads of other providers out there to choose from.

  • damieng5 Damien (@damieng5) reported

    @virginmedia A lot of bad stuff here. Just to add some balance I’ve not had any issues with my broadband in 2.5 years. Get more than my advertised speed as well. As for the equipment, invest in better routers, makes a massive difference. The one you get with them is awful #VirginMediaSale
