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

    Wow Virgin media TV services are down nationwide due to a power outage. That's an awful lot of compensation.

  • moleyfozz paul fouracre (@moleyfozz) reported from Rochester, England

    Two contrasting phone calls to @virginmedia CS this morning. Really unhelpful 1st guy / rude. Rang directly back and the differner guy was absolutely amazing. Mathew was his name and he needs a praise. 1st guy really needs a lesson in customer service. Thank you Mathew.

  • DanskiBoyWonder ∂αиѕкι (@DanskiBoyWonder) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia They replaced the box and it’s all working now,I do have one other query I have the Virgin go app but I don’t have any content available on it,is this something you can fix for me? There appears to be an issue with my account I have the ultimate ooomph package if that matters.

  • AViTSCJ Scott Jackson (@AViTSCJ) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia why is it when you request cancellation of service via phone and getting cut off mid call , then sending and email and also trying to chase via web chat which I also sent my request for cancellation and then move out two months later . They keep the account open 🤬

  • briggsym matt (@briggsym) reported from Wickford, England

    @virginmedia how can I complain about internet reliability from your service. It has been appalling and inconsistent and seriously considering moving to another provider.

  • bultifish Nick Bultitude (@bultifish) reported from Gravesend, England

    Hmm, #Skyglass is looking like a decent option if this #virginmedia outage becomes a habit.

  • briggsym matt (@briggsym) reported from Wickford, England

    @virginmedia broadband speeds are awful - who should I go with @SkyUK or @BTGroup

  • suzywotz ꧁༒☬𝓢𝓾𝔃𝔂𝔀𝓸𝓽𝔃☬༒꧂ 🌷🐼🎪⭐️👸🏽 (@suzywotz) reported from Gravesend, England

    @JooMarsden @virginmedia I truly have never experienced anything like this before , there’s gonna be a launch here soon … this router out my bloody window and I couldn’t give a toss where it touches down @richardbranson it certainly won’t be a safe landing where’s our service we are paying for ?

  • onearmedjohn Onearmedjohn (@onearmedjohn) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia I think she was recording a fault as far as I could make out due to her poor English

  • suzywotz ꧁༒☬𝓢𝓾𝔃𝔂𝔀𝓸𝓽𝔃☬༒꧂ 🌷🐼🎪⭐️👸🏽 (@suzywotz) reported from Gravesend, England

    @JooMarsden @virginmedia It appears it’s gotta be all our road .. surely others have reported an issue too hence it needs to be addressed rapidly lots of stressed and angry customers I’d imagine #notimpressed

  • kellydyke08 Kelly **** (@kellydyke08) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia time now 11:14pm and certain channels still aren’t working, things said they have recorded when they haven’t, search function also still not working code c133. I think a refund is due to a lot of customers 👎🏻👎🏻#virginmediadown

  • onearmedjohn Onearmedjohn (@onearmedjohn) reported from Gillingham, England

    @BritishGas I’m truly astonished. I didn’t think there could be anyone worse than @virginmedia for customer service but you’ve managed it. I’m in awe.

  • adiesmith64 ⚒Adrian Smith⚒ (@adiesmith64) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @KAYI50747133 @virginmedia Yep how you have explained it is exactly the same for me, have tried my 2nd box upstairs but the same problem!

  • SUEG46 Sue Groves MBE (@SUEG46) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia we seem to have WiFi still but our sky box has lost connection.. is this related to the issues you have?

  • onearmedjohn Onearmedjohn (@onearmedjohn) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia This is so tiresome I have complained so many times about slow broadband speed, unreliable WiFi, terrible TV services & only after threatening to leave did you send an engineer in July. This made it a little better, but recently it’s been unreliable of an evening.

  • onearmedjohn Onearmedjohn (@onearmedjohn) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia No and there’s no point. You’ve had two years to fix this. I’m not paying any more and you can sue me. See you in court.

  • sarahhben Sarah Bennett (@sarahhben) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia Our internet is down in ME8 area (Parkwood) status check says ‘no known issues’

    @virginmedia So new customers pay HALF of what loyal customers get? And if a loyal customer doesn’t want to be ripped off they need to waste their time and contact you? How disgusting.
