    @virginmedia Broadband down again this morning in SE London, got through to customer services and they advised the outage expected to be fixed by 12th April. No compensation offered and I would have to pay a penalty to cancel my contract.

    Alan Ferrari (@ferrari1fer86) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia is there an explanation of the intermittent evening issues affecting RM11 1DN for the last few weeks?

  • BobCratchitt
    Andee Byford (@BobCratchitt) reported from City of London, England

    @virginmedia Well I guess as it went down Wednesday afternoon and if all goes well back up tomorrow we will automatically qualify.

    Steven Kraan (@drawing_daily) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia Hello Virgin Media, I’m trying to pay my monthly broadband bill online but when choosing pay bill it keeps redirecting me to your help page, so I can’t pay atm. When will this be fixed (won’t be paying late fees). Many thanks 🙏

  • declan1968
    Declan Higgins ☘ (@declan1968) reported from Southwark, England

    @virginmedia What does an area outage mean? I pay Virgin about £150 a month for services. This is over the odds but I thought I was getting a reliable service and so went with it.

  • leighbooker
    Leigh Booker 🐈‍⬛ 3.5% #FBPE #FBPPR #GTTO (@leighbooker) reported from Welling, England

    @virginmedia It has just come back on. The annoying thing is your website said no problems, so I went through the usual, unplugging, checking cables etc. only for the website to be updated later. I should have learned by now.

  • drawing_daily
    Steven Kraan (@drawing_daily) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia I managed to pay it in the end but please could you fix your website…there’s some weird redirecting happening when trying to either view or pay your bill. London/Broadband

  • Weaverfooty14
    Michael James Weaver (@Weaverfooty14) reported from Blackheath, England

    @virginmedia is there a outage in woolwich Se18 my broadband isn't working and I can't even load up your website to try and get help?

    @virginmedia @massrossini1 System was restored this AM then stopped again at 4pm cannot do no work at all and customer service lines busy

  • BBLn15
    Helen Reihill (@BBLn15) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia I would not have used these terms as I didn’t know them however I presumed that all the necessary work would be done in the background. Why would I keep the landline with Virgin when I was VERY UNHAPPY with the service provided

  • macon1375
    Mark Connolly (@macon1375) reported 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

  • mistervickster
    Vignesh (@mistervickster) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia how do you have the worst customer service ? Will just have to book a technician to sort out issues with account login.

  • Ivan_D_Crypto
    Crypto Ivan (@Ivan_D_Crypto) reported from Hackney, England

    @hummzak We at Virgin Media have a brand new IPTV service for 35 pounds flat fee, no monthly subscription + you get installations and service support, so it if breaks well fix replace it at no cost. Let me know if your interested

  • Biggsy58
    Bernie Biggs (@Biggsy58) reported from Bexleyheath, England

    @virginmedia putting their tariffs up by 17.3% from 1st April - that’s 3.9% over the Retail Price Index Inflation of 13.4%…people getting nowhere near this sort of increase in their pay packets…hang your heads in shame especially in a cost of living crisis.

  • BeckyKellyNews
    Becky Kelly (Göllner) (@BeckyKellyNews) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia He has tried this and every time it just reverts to an automated bot response that doesn’t accept/understand /respond to his request to cancel. I need another way. As it’s proving impossible and stressful

  • goonerlgh
    Lawrence ****** 🇺🇦 (@goonerlgh) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia Do you, or could you make a TV box remote for the elderly? Tiny buttons with tinier symbols instead of words, black buttons on black body.... Almost impossible for some older people to use. An OAP version with larger coloured buttons would be such a help!

  • BBLn15
    Helen Reihill (@BBLn15) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginhelp @MistryMistry21 @virginmedia Virgin Media give really poor customer service. I’ve been waiting over 14 hours? It feels like your customer service team is a team of 1

    @virginmedia Still down in Lewisham SE8 for me

  • DerrickSWB
    Derrick Brown (@DerrickSWB) reported from Lower Clapton, England

    @virginmedia It’s arranged (3rd time) for engineer visit tomorrow 4-7pm…. I just hope they don’t randomly cancel again

  • Editmonster
    Stewart Daniels (@Editmonster) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @O2 @virginmedia not a fan of doing this but o2, you guys have made a holiday in the USA as difficult as possible. After many conversations with advisors on the chat I STILL CANNOT Make calls back to the UK from here in the USA. I'm a volt customer but will rethink this...

  • chesserlufc
    chesser (@chesserlufc) reported

    @gblondon1 @skytv They will but ring you when its too late stuff them I say, I've been with @virginmedia for years now and everytime my contract ends I just ring up and get a decent deal, not as good as a new customer which I have an issue with, but still a good deal!

  • Oxford_Life
    In Oxford (@Oxford_Life) reported

    @gblondon1 @skytv You will, unfortunately, find that not only do #VirginMedia also not reward loyal customers with fair prices, but that their new TV box has perhaps the worst interface you have ever experienced (along with randomly deleting all my recordings!)

  • Coady88
    JC (@Coady88) reported

    @gblondon1 @skytv @virginmedia You’ll be switching back to sky in 2 years when virgin do exactly the same, double your bill whilst offering new customers the same service at 1/4 of the price, it’s a market I genuinely do not understand.

  • MJNorman5
    calmdown (@MJNorman5) reported

    @gblondon1 @skytv @virginmedia Virgin/Sky. Two sides of the same coin. Be prepared to cancel when negotiating.

    Echo chamber again on Virgin media and Irish media in general Focusing on the big bad far right and not on the cause of the current crisis #TonightVMTV

    Qwerty (@jimjam1234567) reported

    @gblondon1 @skytv Asked Virgin Media what options do I have for having their TV service in different parts of the house without running cables through my home...they offered me a firestick!

    @JonStone101 @virginmedia @MartinSLewis is it not time for you to look at Virgin Media and their corrupt renewal process? Every 2 years you have to have this dance and they still bugger it up. They needed to treat existing customers fairly.

  • robhjones
    Rob Jones (@robhjones) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve only used iplayer since changing but it’s impossible to watch anything so there’s obviously some connection problem and extremely annoying as its in the evening when we watch

  • SweeneyJoanne
    JS (@SweeneyJoanne) reported

    @virginmedia I cannot tell you how horrendous my experience has been. 4 weeks later, no install, a broken path and I have no broadband! You didn’t show up again!!!! No communication either.
