  @itvnews please help. @virginmedia refusing to prioritise an 87 year old with a heart condition who needs a 24/7 phone line for her Emergency button a priority. Refusing to send an Engineer for ANOTHER 6 days.

  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 hope you can help please! Our router is a hub 3. It has a constant red light. It’s not over heating, I’ve done multiple hard resets. Any suggestions? Do I need a new router?

  Dr Andrew Fleming 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Andrew007Uk) reported 39 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @PaulWelsh_UK @virginmedia There is no service. 26 November reported - 6th March earliest date for works. I was past to no less than 6 different teams before finally getting somewhere and then being cut off. Anyway welcome home my friend - hope you have more luck than me!

  MrChips (@MrChips2000) reported 40 minutes ago from Grays, England

  @virginmedia Hi, I would like to cancel my recent broadband order. I found a better deal.

  Lisa Philpott (@Lisa2672) reported 42 minutes ago from Rayleigh, England

  @Shayan86 @virginmedia It’s a disgrace - my husband works in tv too. You 100% cannot rely on VM. I am definitely changing. My bill started off at £35 and is now £45 as we had to buy boosters. Worst service ever. Skybroadband non-fibre was better than this.

  Mark 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@WhiskyOneIce) reported 46 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia It's okay I've taken it up with CEDR now and let them resolve it, I'm just highlighting to people how difficult it is to cancel contracts and the fact that VM consistently "loose" letters

  Phil (@feyipuk) reported 46 minutes ago from Crayford, England

  @virginmedia Think it's more to do with the upgrade work then; when I select Help from the Help & Settings menu, the screen goes blank. I'm thinking it needs a network connection to work. Any plans for a Hub with built in 02 sim to increase connectivity? Currently hot spotting my phone.

• 
  Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported 46 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  @virginmedia You’ve now sent me the same unhelpful link about compensation 3 times. This will only compensate me if I have no service, and as I have a service (albeit 3mbps) this, as I’ve repeated several times, doesn’t help me. Another example of poor customer service

  @virginmedia 6 days since moving to Virgin, we are having issues, the WiFi won't reach our outside cameras. After completing the troubleshooting guides + waiting for over an hour for a chat agent + 30 mins on the phone, we still haven't spoken to a human....not impressed

  Currently receiving terrible customer service from @virginmedia. Strongly considering ending my contact with them and going elsewhere!!

  Q. What kind of moronic company thinks it enhances customer service by only allowing communication via WhatsApp on a phone? A. @virginmedia! @SkyUK here I come !

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

• 
  Our Electric World (@O_E_W) reported 3 minutes ago

  @TheEvEngineer @gigaclear @MartinSLewis I used to get the same with Virgin Media when it was our only option. Simple solution is to swap and change to the cheaper deals. I got an Orbi mesh router a while back. It should help simplify our next swap as it keeps the same network name whatever company we’re with.

• 
  Expanse Consulting Ltd (@ExpanseCon) reported 3 minutes ago

  @MikeScheider_ Not a vodafone issue. Looks like a core switch failure, optical cross-connect fault or other fault inside one of the central carrier-neutral hubs. It has dropped interconnection across multiple fixed ISPs (Virgin Media, Eir, Siro, NBI) simultaneously.

• 
  Peter Miller (@PeteinExeter) reported 7 minutes ago

  @virginmedia another outage in the EX4 area. 3 in a matter of a week. Looking forward to speaking to your complaints dept. next week as I will be cancelling my account

• 
  Unainstein (@AstonVillaDoge) reported 7 minutes ago

  So done with @virginmedia, live chat is useless, offer you absolutely terrible deals 'Your renewal offer will be £15 a month more than you currently pay, despite above inflation cost increases every April and you will receive nothing extra in return. This is our biggest discount'

• 
  Philip Robson (@philnap73) reported 8 minutes ago

  @InPostUK Thanks but @virginmedia say it is with you and down to you to deliver. How does this get resolved? It does not appear to have left your depot

• 
  andy spinoza (@andyspin) reported 13 minutes ago

  @virginmedia my screen keeps having a giant error message ‘Channel Failed’ over the picture which is actually working! Anyone else having this issue? Usual rubbish Virgin customer service not picking up - waiting over 45 mins now.

  Virgin Media/O2 service event to **** when they started using the same type of call centres that Scammer PayBack would have interest in.

  @robert_grieve @virginmedia Yup Terrible customer service Seems to be once they have you signed up they no longer give a ****

  @AwTroon Many, many years ago, I called virgin media to tell them I was leaving. They asked why, I said you don't offer value for money anymore. Sorry you're leaving but that is the best price, you already have. It was expensive. No problem, bye now. Next day, virgin cold calls me. Asks me to confirm who I am. I said no, you are calling me, you should know. Guy was annoyed as he was phoning to offer me a better deal. I said fine, I'll call the same retentions team I called yesterday to leave and I'll know it's actually virgin. He got angry, said they can't offer discounts, only he could and if I didn't confirm my details, he couldn't give me the offer. I just told him I could no longer do business with virgin due to such poor security procedures. He seemed very angry about the fact I wasn't willing to give personal identifiable information to a stranger cold calling me. Never paid them a penny again.

  @virginmedia Virgin Media Are your technicians aware of the Intermittent internet signal problem in the NP20 5HT area. Are your technicians trying to fix this problem. This problem has been going on now for a about two week. Alex B
