  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @NathHawkeswood @virginmedia Twitter cant help, phoning cant speak to anyone, text service in an endless loop, chat service online is also an endless loop I need to speak with line faults and they aren't even an option on the automated phone service so I'm really screwed

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia Let me ask, so you know how long the line is to speak to technical support? Have you tried using the text service and online chat? I have all at the same time and after 8 days I still hadn't spoke with anyone, you are unable to support your services

  • gaussey 𝗠𝙞𝖼𝗵𝖺𝙚𝗅 𓆤 (@gaussey) reported from Redcar, England

    @FoolRare @virginmedia Thanks, service status is down and wondered if it was just my hub dying.

  • richarddbaker Richard Baker (@richarddbaker) reported from Darlington, England

    Today's @virginmedia phone queue times, and still not sorted my broadband issue: - 1hr 30m - 2hrs 7m (cut off) - 1hr 33m (cut off) - currently, 17m Inept, profit grabbing company. Some more customer service staff would be great!

  • richarddbaker Richard Baker (@richarddbaker) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia To investigate the problem with my broadband hub.

  • ashleyhwright Ashley Wright (@ashleyhwright) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia Internet seems to be down on DL3? Any update?

  • Poddddddd Jamie Gilbey (@Poddddddd) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia can I access some support on here?

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @KEESH1984 @virginmedia 8 days of that, we not heard fro you for a while youbstill need to speak to someone? OK let's start the whole thing again Chuffing useless, what they offer is not customer service its hope it fixes itself before anyone notices or leaves

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @AhDeluxe @virginmedia Was it the 10 minute off or the 4/5 hour cut? Never anything inbetween in my experience

  • richarddbaker Richard Baker (@richarddbaker) reported from Darlington, England

    No company will ever be as inept as @virginmedia: - Phone lines: wait for hours, can't speak to anyone - Message service on app down for two weeks - Text service: messaged Sat, Sun, Mon, Tues; still no reply

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia can you advise the next time I will be able to receive your broadband for a period of 24 hours or more without it going down? #StayConnected #IfYouCan

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    Not a lover of call centres and thought that they didn't really offer any customer service of any real value, then you have the likes of @virginmedia and @Hermesparcels that seem to want to upset customers. That said, credit to @NespressoUK, was blown away with your service

  • richarddbaker Richard Baker (@richarddbaker) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia Ah, so I do have to wait a week to get my broadband service back then! I was tantalisingly close to being able to do my job! Will have to inform my employers I guess!

  • gaussey 𝗠𝙞𝖼𝗵𝖺𝙚𝗅 𓆤 (@gaussey) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia No, everything is fine thanks, the outage only lasted two hours.

  • PeteYourDoom Peter 🌲Santa Doom🌲🐈🎸🕹️ (@PeteYourDoom) reported from Hartlepool, England

    . @NOWTV @nowtvhelp any idea on how to stop the intermittent blue screen when playing back any on demand video or TV channels? Got an older now TV smart box. It's wired connection into a 300mbps virgin media hub so no issues.on playback speed.

  • richarddbaker Richard Baker (@richarddbaker) reported from Darlington, England

    .@virginmedia are amazing me at the levels of incompetence that they're able to reach. Been on hold today now for 1h 33m, 2hrs 7m (then they cut me off!) and currently 33mins! If you need any customer service from them then avoid them!!!

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia No errors, never is, yet everyday at least once my net goes off, normally for 10 minutes sometimes for up to 4 or 5 hours, cant remember last time I made it 24 hours with no down time

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia Yes I'm aware, they have just hung up on me again after an hour without even a real person, 6 times now and thats why I was asking for @richardbranson number, your sales guys don't seem to have any issues calling me though #JustSaying

  • richarddbaker Richard Baker (@richarddbaker) reported from Darlington, England

    .@virginmedia 45 minutes on hold now listening to the horrible music!

  • oliverpostgate Chris Lyons (@oliverpostgate) reported from Darlington, England

    @sophiamcoutts @virginmedia Don’t hold your breath. I’ve had an official complaint logged with them since July and am still waiting for a conversation, never mind a resolution #virginmedia

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • ThatProgrammer ThatSpookyProgrammer (@ThatProgrammer) reported

    @virginmedia The issue was resolved within 4 hours or so, but it was enough to ruin my stream. It's back now, but it would have been nice to have a timeframe, rather than just the day.

  • snoo999 Sue Carr (@snoo999) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, 24 days without an emergency line. It is clear @virginmedia don't care.

  • mattbidds Matthew Biddle (@mattbidds) reported

    To anyone contemplating getting @virginmedia #virginmedia broadband don’t bother. They give you a pathetic router that has no WiFi connectivity. It is truly pathetic. New customer very unhappy and will be cancelling.

  • LeeColvin711 Lee Colvin (@LeeColvin711) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve cancelled the direct debit now so you wont get any money from me now. Just cancel my order please, I’d do it myself if you didn’t make it almost impossible. Good riddance!

  • PaulDebney Paul Debney (@PaulDebney) reported

    @virginmedia I have but what a rigmarole; Aron was preceded by another wasted hour with somebody else 🙈 my intention was only to cancel my TV package 😳

  • marcusfcott mark jackson (@marcusfcott) reported

    @virginmedia I just want to see your offers. I was told about a new deal on the phone, but was unable to understand what they were saying because of the accent. I can’t see any of your offers online as the link just leads me to your awful chatbot service which is absolutely useless.

  • EgoZentric_ Mar. Jordan*=19&6🏆 (@EgoZentric_) reported

    @virginmedia Should I wait any longer, since the last activity was Tuesday? It's not going to go up the queue from what I've seen this week. Appreciate that there has been a lot of demand due to the email issue, but I'm struggling to see a forum resolution.

  • millwallnick80 Nick Davenport (@millwallnick80) reported

    @virginmedia 789922 doesn't work as doesnt allow me to put pin in I'll try manual thank you

  • mattbidds Matthew Biddle (@mattbidds) reported

    @virginmedia please explain why my mobile phone 4G is faster than WiFi from your hub 3? Will cancel if you don’t do something about…..

  • JessGoodyer1111 Jessica Goodyer (@JessGoodyer1111) reported

    Update - Virgin Media are the worst providers i have ever dealt with. They have since cancelled my policy without speaking to me. I will never use them and don’t suggest it to anyone else
