    @virginmedia According to your Customer Service I was informed I was to get a phone call by 5pm on Wednesday. When I rang back on Thursday to complete my order for a replacement box (after being offered a V6 but would have to pay installation) I was told no later than 5pm Friday.

    Hi @virginmedia i just had a call He said was from your technical department (We have been having quite a poor service from you over the last few months) He said he had to optimise the router & asked me to go to a site starting w3c Hung up because not a virginsite Was it you?

    @virginmedia 17 days with no TV service, finally resumed today after another manual restarts at this end. Any chance of a refund of half of this month? That's pretty dire.

  • DJLKP
    LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Can I win a TV service that works (Thursday 2nd Dec it's been off since) , or internet with no huge drop outs please? Or a link that works to fix anything. #AllIWantForChristmasistheserviceipayfor

    @virginmedia more disgustingly slow speeds in NE27

  • shenry1972
    me (@shenry1972) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Dear @virginmedia, why is your WiFi so bloody awful? Another day of resetting, rebooting etc etc and it's still **** 😩

  • allymcgeorge
    Alvin TX Fernandez (@allymcgeorge) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia hi I need to cancel an engineer appointment but clearly you've made this difficult to do. Any thoughts?

  • Mal_Area
    Malcolm Sinyard (@Mal_Area) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Well it said no issues, but all my devices will not connect, rebooted router. Nothing..

  • SimonBewick
    Simon Bewick (@SimonBewick) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Well since complaining on here about @virginmedia and their terrible phone calls last week I’ve had 5 calls in the last three days all trying to sell me the same upgrade. Absolutely this close (fingers mms apart) from cancelling with them completely. FFS sort it out!

  • Look_North
    Karl Ward (@Look_North) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I dread clicking that link. I fear being sucked down the rabbit hole of Ai customer service bots where I eventually give up until I'm exasperated by the next monthly bill increase.

  • DJLKP
    LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Still down now, can work from Catch Up or my recordings, but nothing live as there are no channels. Drop outs in WiFi too. Not great.

  • scotty8461
    Bob Scott (@scotty8461) reported from Shiremoor, England

    @virginmedia wifi speed is disgustingly slow in NE 27

  • shenry1972
    me (@shenry1972) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Why is @virginmedia customer service so unrelentingly bloody awful?? Still no call from an engineer, told replacement TiVo box would come by post for it to come out by courier and get notified of this 20 minutes after the delivery window has started and I was at work 😡

  • DJLKP
    LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Yep. Intermittent service

  • shenry1972
    me (@shenry1972) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Okay so why was I told it would be coming by post in 5 working days and why have I still not had a call from an engineer? Kind of my main issues and you can't blame Yodel for them!!

  • chriswadehome
    Chris Wade (@chriswadehome) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia how do I manage the devices registered to the virgin tv go app. Online help not any help

  • DJLKP
    LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia All on screen instructions followed, waited til I finished work today to check and it still doesn't get past 25% on the "searching for channels" page... Just taken the direct debit for a service which has been broken since 2.12.21...

  • shenry1972
    me (@shenry1972) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I suggest you feed this back to Customer Service as I very much doubt I'm the first customer who's been misinformed on this. The engineer was supposed to be calling about my ongoing intermittent service issues, with both TV and internet.

    Mr T (@onemistert) reported

    @virginmedia I assume you will be adjusting our bills for the downtime? No service all day and still not back up.

  • centreoftheuni1
    Centre of the Universe (@centreoftheuni1) reported

    @virginmedia I raised a complaint 3 weeks ago and no one has contacted me. I was told just this afternoon that I would get a call from a manager around 4pm. Guess what? No call. It’s just really, really bad to be lied to and messed around for a service that we’re paying for and not getting.

  • MykeJD1
    Michael (@MykeJD1) reported

    @virginmedia It’s just crap, imagine telling a gamer you can’t play games, download any, play with friends, stream etc. Moving homes meant to be enjoyable, you can’t do anything so sorry. But this has ruined the experience. One month of using mobile data is rough.

  • snarkle
    Cam Watson (@snarkle) reported

    @jesslalau @virginmedia No wonder it’s taking so long to repair! @virginmedia is still broken for me here in SE1. Says a 9pm ETA. 🤞

  • FrazzzYT
    Frazzz (@FrazzzYT) reported

    Anddddd the internet is down AGAIN! @virginmedia forever coating their users money and delivering terrible service that doesn't even stay online... #virginmediadown

  • kevthegooner
    Kevthegooner (@kevthegooner) reported

    @virginmedia It says service request and looks like a picture of a tv under it. Not sure why it shows a tv as we only have broadband

  • ben_woolner
    Benjaman Woolner (@ben_woolner) reported

    @virginmedia unable to play games or do online banking due to your lack of service. Upload speeds in kbps, signal that keeps dropping but hey in 24 hours we could book an engineers appointment

  • andybh
    Andy BH (@andybh) reported

    @virginmedia Half an hour into exchanging texts and only now I'm told I need "Customer Relations" and there may be a "bit of a wait time" while he transfers the chat. 17:59 I get a text saying that Customer Services CLOSES at 18:00. You SURE this is not made deliberately difficult ?!

  • dino_glas
    omar din (@dino_glas) reported

    @virginmedia Maybe easier to talk over the phone as there is alot of background to this issue

  • FrazzzYT
    Frazzz (@FrazzzYT) reported

    @virginmedia It's the third time this month. Now it's when I normally upload so this is getting in the way of my work now...your status page never says anything useful
