  • PeterToohey Peter (@PeterToohey) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    Don’t ya love your tv being down for the whole day during lockdown. Always the same with virgin media.

  • FatherFantaskis Dave Taskis (@FatherFantaskis) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia Your phone line is saying you do. You had the system out of service for an area update for 24hours now. Who does that ?

  • FatherFantaskis Dave Taskis (@FatherFantaskis) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia 4pm today. That’s a 36 hour outage, that has been extended from the original 12 hour estimate - so something has clearly gone horribly wrong. And your service pages me a 404 error when I try and register for loss of service.

  • moebius1967 ron palmer (@moebius1967) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @bushontheradio Trying to get through to Virgin media to cancel the contract. Bloody chatbot isn't worth a ****

  • moebius1967 ron palmer (@moebius1967) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    I'm having real trouble cancelling my Virgin media account. Cant6v chat them, can't email them now on hold for 10 minutes. Just want to end the contract give 30 days notice. New promotion only for new customers. Wtf?

  • StaceyRebekka Stacey Karlsson (@StaceyRebekka) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia The engineer didn’t turn up today. I’ve been on hold for hours and still have no services. Please can someone help us?

  • tonywiseman1976 Tony Wiseman (@tonywiseman1976) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I have better things to do with my time than phoning @virginmedia The system should pick up on this. Virgin’s system is quick to chase me regarding the return of a bloody hub. Absolutely atrocious service.

  • kilomilesy colin miles (@kilomilesy) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia 11 days without a landline and 17 texts giving a time and date estimating the fix to be done by and failed every time. Oh well let’s see what tomorrow brings! Crap Virginmedia

  • KrLwsn Karl Lawson (@KrLwsn) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Please could you arrange for a customer service advisor to call me. I've been holding 56 minutes, and my line was cut off while speaking to a member of your team. Feel free to DM me for more information.

  • FatherFantaskis Dave Taskis (@FatherFantaskis) reported from Romford, England

    @Mikeyhcm @virginmedia Not only that but our router popped back up for 10 mins yesterday and must have had a firmware update pushed down to it, because my old iPhone refuses to connect to wireless now (despite having iOS14) and other iPhones in house being OK. No telling truth.

  • TheRealMrDrew G (@TheRealMrDrew) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia That issue fixed itself. However, this evening we're getting the same problem. This has been going on for the past week on and off. I'm now told that the issue is estimated to be fixed by 2pm tomorrow - the service we've received from Virgin has been particularly poor of late

  • rob_green86 Rob Green Jnr (@rob_green86) reported from Thundersley, England

    Anyone else really struggling with slow speeds over the last 10 days with @virginmedia. It's been spot on for 2 years now and then 10 days it seems something has happened. Lucky to get over 10Mb now 🙈

  • pauldurie p2.0 ✊🏻 🏳️‍🌈 #BLM (@pauldurie) reported from London, England

    @PippaCrerar @virginmedia If you're using a Virgin router I would buy another one as they're useless Main issue I found was they don't switch between 2.4GHz/5GHz very well If you want stronger signal then switch off 5GHz

  • tonywiseman1976 Tony Wiseman (@tonywiseman1976) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia The auto response system is terrible & apparently someone should have responded to my refund query & guess what? No one has bothered.

  • rob_green86 Rob Green Jnr (@rob_green86) reported from Thundersley, England

    @westbrookdanni @virginmedia Up to 2 weeks ago I didn't have a bad word to say about them. The pure fact you can't get through to someone is the worst of it. Happy to take your money and trim your internet speeds!

  • chrisMU19 Chris (@chrisMU19) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia I’ve had no internet for 6 hours. I’ve followed all online steps to fix it and none of them worked. Been on hold to 150 for 2 hours now. Can someone please assist?

  • chrisMU19 Chris (@chrisMU19) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I’m having issues connecting to WiFi this morning. Phone said I had weak security. I updated the security online, the warning message has gone but WiFi still not working. Can you assist please?

  • FatherFantaskis Dave Taskis (@FatherFantaskis) reported from Romford, England

    Hey @virginmedia you’ve been messing with our broadband in #RM11 for long enough. Get a grip, #revert the failed change and give us back our service. Why do this mid week when people are #WorkingFromHome ? Do it at a weekend.

  • mariobucolo Mario Bucolo (@mariobucolo) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia continue to having problems on broadband se6 london. 1 hr waiting someone answer at the phone or on chat. I seriously think to cancel my contract

  • orrpaulandrew paul enm. (@orrpaulandrew) reported

    @virginmedia Why are you giving a number to customers that does not allow you to actually talk to someone? Usual useless answers. And please answer the question about payment instead of tour crap about reviewing your compensation policy, just answer a very simple and reasonable question.

  • soulpurged Soulpurged (@soulpurged) reported

    @virginmedia don't care about the TV stuff but fix your internet, ethernet and WiFi been down 8hrs+ and you don't mention it.

  • RedRobinBCFC Smithy (@RedRobinBCFC) reported

    @virginmedia My box now has TV but it won’t let me access any apps. Is this a known problem?

  • KualaMusic Küala 🇬🇧 (@KualaMusic) reported

    @ChrisN1978 @virginmedia The wording for the requirements state that it has to be a total loss of service. TV down but the other two are still up? No refund.

  • peltonboy pelton boy 💙 (@peltonboy) reported

    @1964gooner @virginmedia Exactly…U.K. Power manage to send everyone a text when there is a power cut so we know the reason and how long it is liable to be off for. No such courtesy from @virginmedia They treat us with distain

  • sally47cox sally ann cox 💙 (@sally47cox) reported

    @virginmedia Whst does Invalid Network Settings (C233) mean?

  • leeds2d JT (@leeds2d) reported

    @richardnoone @virginmedia I know they had a big outage around Ipswich today but this looks nationwide.

  • pearsecassidy pearse cassidy (@pearsecassidy) reported

    Not working here still cant get on apps #virginmedia

  • michkamo77 Mich Playz (@michkamo77) reported

    @virginmedia @Bobandbobbin why is your website down?

  • LauraMcClyde LauraMcCann (@LauraMcClyde) reported

    @virginmedia my TV is working again but cannot access apps - get error C233. Is this because of the issues earlier today?
