  DragonFish 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇮🇹 (@discobabe76) reported 8 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia 9/ speak but he kept interrupting me. He had no help for me for having no internet for 6 days. He kept sighing and refused to put me through to anyone who could offer anymore help.

  @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

  @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

  @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.

  Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported 26 minutes ago from Aveley, England

  @virginmedia Yes he left a name & phone number, said I should I let him know if I still have issues. I've contacted him 3 times including this morning since his visit last Friday.

  @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?

  Richard Noble (@Richard09499442) reported 32 minutes ago from South Ockendon, England

  @virginmedia my wifi is terrible, how do i go about getting some boosters so that my signal is as strong as you promise? I can't access the app (thats another unresolved problem!) Also how do i go about receiving the £100 credit that you also promise? Thank you.

  Penny Rolfe nee Acres (@wonky1961) reported 36 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  @virginmedia You are no longer my ISP due to your incompetence. Also there will be a lawsuit pending due to the fact I almost died from pneumonia with pulmonary oedema and sepsis later going into stage 2 respiratory failure. Your useless service is unacceptable.

  Simon Norris (@sinozza) reported 38 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  @virginmedia I spent over an hour on the phone yesterday trying to get through to a customer service rep only to get cut off. Still waiting to hear on WhatsApp and been on hold this afternoon 45 mins and still holding???? Whats going on??

• 
  Pippa Crowther (@getpipfit) reported 42 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia Thankyou. The site still won't let me check status.. reported this.. says your site down. I've now spoken to someone as I need Internet for work. Someone coming out on Saturday!

• 
  Mark Connolly (@macon1375) reported 44 minutes ago from Crayford, England

  @virginmedia They advise they would send a signal to router, I then turn off after 5 mins, for 10 mins and when back on all will be working! Well it didn’t make a difference and my speed test shows my downloads dropped from 236mbs to 36. The issue is uploads tho at 0.5mbps. On hold again!

  Dr Andrew Fleming 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Andrew007Uk) reported 47 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  After a mammoth session on the phone to 6 of your departments to arrange interim broadband given your service failed in Nov. & won't be fixed to March I spoke to a helpful chap called David in the Customer Care Dept before I was cut off. Can you help reconnect me @virginmedia 🙏🏻

• 
  VenusEnvi (@VenusEnvi) reported 50 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!!

• 
  FClay (@MissFayeRay) reported 51 minutes ago from Romford, England

  @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?

  Penny Rolfe nee Acres (@wonky1961) reported 52 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  @MartinSLewis Virgin Media wifi been unstable since June 2020. Virgin Media never resolved the problem caused me to lose hundreds of £'s. Made me lose my PIP. Virgin made me pay double because they kept charging me twice most months. They've made me lose half my PC Guarantee

• 
  Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported 57 minutes ago from Aveley, England

  So trying to cancel @virginmedia services and the stalling tactics being used are not cool. If customers want to leave they have every right to do so. Let them go.

• 
  Richard Noble (@Richard09499442) reported 59 minutes ago from South Ockendon, England

  @virginmedia I have never been able to access the app. Its says i will receive an email to verify it but never arrives. Ive contacted virgin a few times but the issue doesn't get resolved!

• 
  Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported 59 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  @virginmedia so after weeks of unbelievably poor broadband and customer service there was an offer from you to resolve the situation with a web chat at 11am, with a link being provided here. No link. I’m lost for words

• 
  Phil (@feyipuk) reported 59 minutes ago from Crayford, England

  @virginmedia I'm sorry for the two poor support staff who are trying to sell us new remote controls, routers and O2 sims - for more money - till we hit the nuclear option and say we're leaving to get what we're asking? We're loyal customers; why does it need to get to that?

  In the meantime the @virginmedia ‘supervisor’ whom I waited 90 mins to talk to on Tues night, & who promised to escalate our outage to engineering so I could have SOME INFORMATION, has of course not been in touch Just like the other supervisor who made the same promise last week

  @Sargy7 @SkyUK Big companies know system loopholes and getting benefits from those system . Same situation is with Virgin media B-road band trap . Prices and services are at their disposal which they never invested upon . Absolutely unregulated .

  🎯DartingMelon⛩️ (@DartingMelon) reported 6 minutes ago

  @alexand979677 @virginmedia open a complaint against them mate let it sit un resolved youll be able then to take it to the ombudsman who’ll rule in your favour for paying for services you haven’t been able to access. Worked for companies like this before never works out well for them also used this mysself.

  scfc 💙 (@Smallworth_xx) reported 8 minutes ago

  @virginmedia @TheAFC0522 Been like this since Friday so don’t act like it’s just today ? Do we get a bill reduction for numerous days without a service we pay for ?

  Paddy Stavros (@PaddyStavros69) reported 13 minutes ago

  @Carolestfc1 @virginmedia Bang on Carole, unacceptably poor from @virginmedia. Ditch the standard robotic replies, either sort it out for Carole pronto or sort out a refund AND a goodwill financial gesture. 👊🏼

  Keeley 🌻 (@Keeleyeveline_) reported 14 minutes ago

  @teenarani @virginmedia Hopefully it gets back up and running ASAP. Went to go onto my laptop and couldn't connect to the Internet that's the only reason I new it was down otherwise I wouldn't have

• 
  HJM (@HannahJM1806) reported 18 minutes ago

  @virginmedia @alexand979677 Yay, let’s all mess about trying to sign in to the app on your laptop, to find a HDMI cable, plugging that bugger in and then hoping to all things holy that it actually connects whilst missing the first half of the game you’re trying to watch as opposed to Virgin actually fix it!

  Virgin Media News (@VirginMediaNews) reported 19 minutes ago

  Prince Harry, Elton John and five others have been ordered to pay an initial £9.5 million to the publisher of Britain’s Daily Mail following their failed privacy case. The group had accused the publisher of unlawful information gathering - claims it denied. The judge found there was insufficient evidence to support the claims and said there was a possibility the reporting came from legitimate sources. The £9.5 million payment must be made by August 28.
