  @virginmedia Your link says it can’t find any issues, there are issues. Can you advise if it’s being investigated? What’s the eta? Thanks.

  @virginmedia This seems to be the standard message coming from Virgin Media. “Computer says no”. If you can’t see the issue with this then you (Virgin Media) are the problem. I’m inclined to contact the ombudsman as you have sold me a service which you blatantly cannot provide or install.

  grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported 15 minutes ago from Thundersley, England

  @virginmedia A number of times. But let’s be honest, they’re nothing but messengers. There is no escalation, and they can’t even call the construction company to escalate issues. As someone who has worked within many projects teams, and mapped business processes, yours is simply shocking

  grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported 19 minutes ago from Thundersley, England

  @virginmedia I have spoken to your CS team about raising a complaint and have been told that the complaints procedure is for existing customers. As I am yet to go live, I am not considered a customer and therefore have no where to go.

  @MayorofLondon Shame they provide the most terrible customer service and treat you like they've got you by the short and curlies! Pay £400 a year for a service, custome service agents are like robots and stuff you for days when it doesn't work with no alternative offered! @virginmedia

• 
  Andee Byford (@BobCratchitt) reported 34 minutes ago from Romford, England

  @virginmedia Yes I have checked the service status, it is the first thing I do & all was fine. The issues is with the cable Ethernet & the phone connection in the Hub 4. I don’t use your WiFi setup as my house is fully cabled for networking. I am a Network Architect, so have done basic tests

• 
  Sharon Hills 💗 (@Gertie58) reported 36 minutes ago from Dartford, England

  @virginmedia We have broadband but no WiFi. Rang customer services on Thursday lunchtime to be told that although nothing shows up in the service checker it' known fault and should be back today, now it's almost two days without WiFi, just want update from someone who knows what's happening

  @virginmedia why are no one answering your lines all I wanna do is cancel my package

• 
  Robert Smith (@RobertSSmith66) reported 42 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia any chance you can get your website to work? Change Package Chat does nothing! Links sent via mail do not work! Hyperlink sent by text doesn’t work! Call centre (working from home in India?) worse than useless! Ever heard of Customer Centric design? #Useless

  Phil (@feyipuk) reported 43 minutes ago from Crayford, England

  @virginmedia That's my issue; in terms of service, it is resolved. Thr cable was previously buried (all be it not that deep), & I would have liked it to be again. My suggestion was leave slack so I could bury it. That message wasn't passed on to the 3rd party engineer. What would you advise?

• 
  Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported 45 minutes ago from Aveley, England

  @TracyWoodley4 @virginmedia @Virgin Their service has certainly gone down hill and this issue with the call centre is a complete farce. If they can't even get their own internal systems sorted as a telecomms company what hope do we have? My contract is up in March and I will defo be leaving Virgin.

• 
  Lewis Allen ⚒ (@_Lewis_A) reported 45 minutes ago from Romford, England

  So @virginmedia want £288 to cancel a contract I've had since 2018. Can I get through to anyone to speak about it? NO!!

  @virginmedia 11/ I've never been 6 days without internet and help was much more available in the past with virgin. Now, customers are being left high and dry.

  Dr Stower and the Stock Market of Madness 🦍 (@1CreativeRay) reported 51 minutes ago from Wainscott, England

  @virginmedia Hi VM, I ordered a replacement remote control for my TIVO box. Just realised that was a couple of months ago but it never came. When trying online again it says as I’ve had one within six months I can’t order another. Please check that the first was ever sent, thanks

  Helen Dickens (pinknblue):) (@pinknblue) reported 55 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  @virginmedia hello Merry Christmas. If any one is there today so you know 8f the e mails are down as from early this morning it keeps asking me to put in mu password and then not recognising it but won't let me re set either and I can't send or receive any e mails :(

  . @virginmedia down yet again? Not able to watch On Demand and error messages. Plus their website is down. 🙄

• 
  VenusEnvi (@VenusEnvi) reported 58 minutes ago from Grays, England

  @virginmedia what’s the point of asking me to text when I’m ready to set up the new hub if your going to deactivate the old one before I’m ready!! Good job I have unlimited data on my mobile network!!

  @virginmedia even though I haven’t been happy with my service it has been good most of the time, mind other companies I’ve been with are more consistent. However, I didn’t even realise at the time but upgraded my broadband package with you and am now going to pay less+4 Netflix 2

  Brett Downes (@tterbsenwod) reported 17 minutes ago

  @virginmedia prime example of your awful customer service, 3 days to reply to someone having an issue. Scrolling down it's the same for everyone, so i should look forward to a response on wednesday right?!

• 
  Jordan Lawrence (@smithjjord) reported 18 minutes ago

  @virginmedia when will the internet, tv, all our services be working again? Day two no email, no updates we have had to search as to why there is a problem ourselves. How can none of our services be working and apparently not working until tomorrow at 4pm!!!!!!

• 
  Lee Williams (@FourKicksRodeo) reported 18 minutes ago

  @virginmedia where are the activation emails for HBO for customers whom pay for the service? Should I seek compensation?

• 
  One day you'll see the truth (@therealsambo121) reported 19 minutes ago

  @virginmedia now at the sith attempt of trying to solve this issue! I'm going to quit My contact when it's up . Shame it's not now

• 
  Alloqui Strix (@AlloquiStrix) reported 20 minutes ago

  An in-place upgrade which is causing a 10 day outage - pretty awful planning @virginmedia. And telling us it would be fixed in 1 day, then 2 days, then 4 days, then 3 days, then 4 days, then 10 days - is a bit of a joke.

  roach!! 🧀 INDONESIA IN 4 MONTHS!!! (@LORDCANTl) reported 23 minutes ago

  @virginmedia hey. can you explain why our virgin tv suddenly decided to become "cogeco" and insist we're in canada when we very much live in the uk and have never been to canada? we cannot access any streaming services.

  Vishal Vaghjiani (@VaghjianiV23409) reported 24 minutes ago

  @virginmedia The issue is still unresolved and I’m being told to wait again. Unacceptable when Virgin Media’s negligence cut my phone line. After multiple complaints and weeks of stress, the sensible solution is to let me leave the contract with no fees and avoid further drama.
