• 
  Nick Miller 🇺🇦 (@NickMillerUK) reported 2 minutes ago from South Ockendon, England

  @virginmedia It’s everything downstream of the LAN ports, so wifi on the box is on and working but all his wired network is offline. I have asked him to check all the cabling to make sure it’s all connected.

  Phil (@feyipuk) reported 2 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.

  Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported 4 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  @virginmedia I’ve sorted the issue. But now there’s no way of cancelling the engineer! Can’t get through on phone. Appointment isn’t showing on their account, so can’t cancel there. WhatsApp is useless - been waiting for an Agent to be available since about 1pm!

  @virginmedia I am not paying the bill until you fix your ****** internet plus your trying to scam us by raising our bill to £225 even though it's supposed to be £130 and we have never missed a payment

  @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.

  DragonFish 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇮🇹 (@discobabe76) reported 20 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 02038271376 is this one of your numbers been getting calls for 3 days saying there virgin and problem with my internet!!!

• 
  Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported 22 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.

  Dr Andrew Fleming 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Andrew007Uk) reported 22 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  Listening to the broadband presentation on @itvMLshow with some irony. I pay @virginmedia £79/month for broadband/phone & TV. BB/TV failed in November, after many calls they say it will be fixed in March 2023 😬 Compensation is only calculated when service is restored 😪 Fair?

• 
  Pippa Crowther (@getpipfit) reported 29 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia how much longer will services be out in SM1 1RB.. been since last night. No TV or WiFi.Service status check says you are aware. PLEASE

• 
  Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported 31 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

• 
  grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported 37 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

• 
  Mark Connolly (@macon1375) reported 37 minutes ago from Crayford, England

  @virginmedia @virginmedia can have no rival to the worst customer service out there! Said resolved an issue after held for over an hour only to find it’s not and I now can’t get back in touch. 2nd day work ruined

  Kim Edwards (@KimEdwards48) reported 38 minutes ago from Stifford, England

  @AmandaSeager @virginmedia Same in Central London, my Company uses Virgin and we have had issues all day long

• 
  Nick Miller 🇺🇦 (@NickMillerUK) reported 41 minutes ago from South Ockendon, England

  @virginmedia somehow you have reset my Dad’s Virgin media box, LAN seems to be off and the wifi on it is back on. This is rubbish because we have network setup there with much better hardware than your box. Now none of it works and I am hundreds of miles from his house. Why?

• 
  Pippa Crowther (@getpipfit) reported 47 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia we have had no Internet or TV since yesterday afternoon/evening. Service checker seems down and unable to log into my virgin media as just spins or says unavailable SM1 1RB please advise.

  Robert Smith (@RobertSSmith66) reported 51 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

• 
  Mark Connolly (@macon1375) reported 56 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!

  @Mattallwright 2 years on since I have been having trouble with Virgin Media (fingers crossed) they may have now get an uninterrupted supply after charging me late payments more than double my Media prices whilst as a Vulnerable Person they were awful

  ✖️𝔻𝕖𝕒𝕟 𝕄𝕔𝔽𝕒𝕣𝕝𝕒𝕟𝕖✖️ (@NoddyMaccy) reported 57 minutes ago from Romford, England

  @virginmedia My phone is now over two weeks late, which isn’t an issue, I understand waiting for one to become available to send but to suggest I send this phone back and go without a phone until one eventually gets sent to me is just ridiculous. I’m not gonna pay my bills with no phone…

  @virginmedia Gadget Rescue overseas don’t really know how to help - plus 3x tech people. Please advise how to reach the cancel service team please. Thank you

• 
  twocakesdakes (@2cakesdakes) reported 7 minutes ago

  @virginmedia why does your call centre phone me about 3 times a day then just hang up when I answer?

• 
  Kevin Clark (@kevinclarknw) reported 7 minutes ago

  More horrendously bad service from @virginmedia. Broadband in SR2 out AGAIN, estimated to be off for three days and website says you need to register the fault to qualify for compensation while offering no way to do so.

• 
  Stuart Aird (@StuartA17243) reported 8 minutes ago

  @virginmedia After 30 years or so with #virginmedia (telewest days) the price hike as an existing customer has finally pushed me to switch £41 for 250meg todays special renewal price after an offer of £40 on the phone yesterday. Double speed is £27 with sky broadband.

• 
  Eldarioth (@eldarioth) reported 8 minutes ago

  @AncientJellyTot @virginmedia Same problem with religious callers but one replied with "Jesus would want to use to talk to you whatever your sign says". I had to stifle a giggle as I closed the door.

  @virginmedia Your message button is not working. Just resets the x page over and over

  ben (@bfoel89) reported 11 minutes ago

  @virginmedia is stream services down again ?

• 
  Brendan (@sabrevan) reported 19 minutes ago

  @virginmedia - no broadband since Wednesday night. I managed to speak to a person at your help centre. They told me there was there is no service! Wow. When asked what the cause of the problem was, I was told that the engineers were looking into it. What is causing the issue?
