  • SandraMangan_ Sandra Mangan (@SandraMangan_) reported from South Shore, England

    @virginmedia I have checkedea h time it happens. It’s saying there is no Problem. It’s happening several times a day, for short periods. Very frustrating.

  • Knitswithbeer knitswithbeer🐝 (@Knitswithbeer) reported from Euxton, England

    @virginmedia The issue has been constant for 2 weeks. Option 2 at the second press is when calling about an account different to the one I'm calling from.

  • amy___harvey amy harvey (@amy___harvey) reported from Maghull, England

    @virginmedia Just rang again. On hold for 20 mins (again) to get hung up on after giving my name. How do I cancel if I am already out of contact. Unless somebody can ring me instead as I refuse to sit through that hold music a third time

  • michdavey71 Michelle (@michdavey71) reported from Maghull, England

    @virginmedia do you have an alternative number , I wish to cancel my contract but haven’t got time to be constantly on hold .

  • Knitswithbeer knitswithbeer🐝 (@Knitswithbeer) reported from Euxton, England

    @virginmedia Sick and tired of this now. Acknowledged there was a problem, sorted it*, asked me to monitor gor a week and if not working they'll then send a man out. *still happening ffs

  • chrisseyduffy Christina Duffy (@chrisseyduffy) reported from South Shore, England

    @6Billie @virginmedia Wasn’t until I rang that I knew there was an issue with everyone’s even then it was an automated message that told me. I was messing with the wires all morning stressing out 😂 xx

  • emyee20 Emily Haydon (@emyee20) reported from South Shore, England

    So @virginmedia after 8 years of loyal custom you want to charge us more for our T.V and internet than we have been paying, or that our friends pay ......jog on! @TalkTalk @SkyHelpTeam @bt_uk what t.v and internet packages can you offer a loyal customer.

  • lindabeard51 Linda (@lindabeard51) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia Unsolicited call from your team wanting me to upgrade phone and pay £6 a month for mobile service. I now pay £20 The £6 only if I purchased new phone Or£6 a month and change my number!!! Tantamount to black mail Why

  • Knitswithbeer knitswithbeer🐝 (@Knitswithbeer) reported from Euxton, England

    @virginmedia And the problem yet again wasn't solved over the phone. Wouldn't admit who cancelled or why. Did admit could identify 'frequency issues' Company full of ignorant eejits

  • davejthorp The Strictly Spoiler (@davejthorp) reported from Preston, England

    @virginmedia Well it’s sorted. In 2 weeks time. Which is a bit poor that I have to wait 2 weeks for you to fix your error

  • SarahIsFab Sister Sarah💫 (@SarahIsFab) reported from Preston, England

    @virginmedia my WiFi is down EVERYDAY and it’s only on for a tiny amount of time😭. It keeps going from green flashing to turning itself off and then just sitting there with a green icon on It and then the phone icon appears then the WiFi and goes round x1000

  • LukeSouthworth Luke Southworth (@LukeSouthworth) reported from Preston, England

    @MrLARIATO @virginmedia Honestly it's mostly not been too bad. But today we've had it cut out at least 3 times.

  • springviewer John Edgar (@springviewer) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia An engineer is coming out on Friday, suppose I’m going to have to put up with 5 days of poor connection #virginmedia #poorservice

  • michdavey71 Michelle (@michdavey71) reported from Maghull, England

    @virginmedia do you have an alternative number I wish to cancel my contract but haven’t got time to be constantly on hold.

  • John1827Joyce Ice Cold Chef (@John1827Joyce) reported from South Shore, England

    @virginmedia morning Team. I appear to have lost my original password for my TiVo box. Is there a way to locate this, I’ve never changed it from the day of fitting. Thanks in advance 😊 new devices arriving tomorrow and I need to hook them up via WiFi

  • Knitswithbeer knitswithbeer🐝 (@Knitswithbeer) reported from Euxton, England

    @virginmedia TBF, I have been trying to get to the solution for over a week. I have other things to do you know...🤨

  • John1827Joyce Ice Cold Chef (@John1827Joyce) reported from South Shore, England

    @virginmedia No problem Team. Managed to locate the initial pin the TiVo came with. All sorted after digging through various passwords 👍

  • springviewer John Edgar (@springviewer) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia not on all channels, I’ve turned the box off and very much doubt I’ll be turning it back on with such a poor service lately

  • amy___harvey amy harvey (@amy___harvey) reported from Maghull, England

    @virginmedia Tv broadband media service NOT mobile

  • Knitswithbeer knitswithbeer🐝 (@Knitswithbeer) reported from Euxton, England

    So. I've now had 3 @virginmedia techies in 2 days tell me they've resolved my issue. That remains to be seen. It in no way excuses the engineer no-show 🤬🤬🤬

  • will_hepburn Will Hepburn (@will_hepburn) reported

    @virginmedia can you tell me if virgin is having issues in SW18 1QQ please

  • David47203456 David 🇬🇧 (@David47203456) reported

    @O2 @virginmedia If you read the tweets it's very clear @virginmedia has a terrible customer service. Very worrying for O2 customers and the customer will lose out as usual. I expect the Communications Ombudsman will be swamped with complaints in the years to come. A bad day.

  • O2 O2 in the UK (@O2) reported

    @lexburnett86 Hi Lex, everything remains the same for now, so a customer’s existing O2 and Virgin Media deals won’t change. But we’re looking at what we can offer joint customers in the future. Make sure you're opted into marketing, if you'd like to hear from us about any new offers.

  • snippetsofem em (@snippetsofem) reported

    @virginmedia @O2 does this mean I'll finally have signal in my house? as my fiancé on o2 has signal, but I'm in virgin and can never get signal...

  • lexburnett86 Lex Burnett (@lexburnett86) reported

    So when can I get a discount for being a @o2 mobile customer and a @virginmedia broadband customer , your services is great but neither of you are cheap?

  • EGreenhill1 Chimpy12321 (twitch) (@EGreenhill1) reported

    @virginmedia They are always on a wired connection. This has been happening for 3 months. I have done everything asked of me in 3 months. Yet you continue to limit and cap my speeds at exactly 8pm every evening. Every ignored tweet & poor response has been logged.

  • s_onward Elizabeth Fisher 💚 (@s_onward) reported

    @sarahmariex @O2 @virginmedia And there is no point Virgin Media resoinding to me on this, because I have them blocked, so won't see their messages. I will NEVER ever have anything to do with VM.

  • markhoward73 Mark Howard (@markhoward73) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks, following my original call weeks ago I agreed a new 18 month contact with the same channels etc for £67 a month, however the contact I received was for a completely different amount. John said once I’d activated the service he’d confirm everything, I’m waiting to hear

  • HyggeJem Jo Kneale (@HyggeJem) reported

    @vmbusiness @O2 Could you update your Twitter with a notice telling people what the issue is and whether there's a temporary solution? How long could this take? How bad could this get before you make it better?

  • howardprobinson howardprobinson (@howardprobinson) reported

    @virginmedia can you tell me if you have any problems in the London E4 area today - we cannot get our Virgin TV working?
