    Carol Rowles (@CallyRaven) reported from Westhoughton, England

    @virginmedia I seem to be the first one to report them, still saying intermittent problems in my area. Can't get to speak to anyone on phone, I rely on the Internet.

  • LindzDDub
    Lindz Devine (@LindzDDub) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia I have to say your Internet connection is ridiculous... for months on end, it's been shocking. I'm sick and tired of resetting my hub, I shouldn't be having this issue. Never had so much issue for the years I've had you and now, the past 6 months, I'm paying monies…

  • tuite_liz
    Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia I first informed Virgin Media that my internet was down via online chat on Friday afternoon. Will this have automatically been the time when my loss of service was registered as at the time the advisor said it would be fixed in 24 hours?

  • tomrushton88
    Tom Rushton (@tomrushton88) reported from Haydock, England

    @virginmedia Or put me through to a manager or try to be remotely helpful in keeping me as a customer, im trying to sign an 18 month contract to give you money every month which I could just give to someone else I will not let this lie till i have my money back!

    Wightpie (@wightpie) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia Also given that link is for postal marketing how exactly does that help with phone calls? As it stands your systems are non-compliant

  • DaveMbootlebuck
    DM 🦌 (@DaveMbootlebuck) reported from Litherland, England

    @virginmedia Mine has just gone down now. I can’t ring via the virgin phone because the phone is connected to the hub.

  • SmithysMaud
    Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia Yes, this has been going on now for months. Was just on to your team to cancel, they hung up on me. I’ve never known a more woeful service. They are quick enough to take payment every month for a service I’m not getting.

    Before covid came you was brilliant @virginmedia but ever since then you have been really **** and if it not sorted by next Sunday we are leaving you it literally 2023 and you still got **** service

  • supergran22
    Maureen StewartJones (@supergran22) reported from Eccleston, England

    @virginmedia I have a booster. It was sent to me last Spring because of previous problems with TV in this room.

  • SharronRawlinso

    @virginmedia had a link to change my password and every combination I’m trying says strength invalid. Help.

  • J_w_D94
    LeChonk (@J_w_D94) reported from Horwich, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I'm tweeting from the device I'm having connectivity and signal issues with, I've looked on the website and it's not stating if you're having network issues or not.

  • tuite_liz
    Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia my internet has been down since Friday afternoon. I was told it would be fixed in 24 hours, the time has since changed and is currently at 8pm this evening. I work from home so need my internet back up and running before Monday morning. This is disgraceful

  • ChrisFoxRacing
    Christopher Fox (@ChrisFoxRacing) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Already reported the broadband issues, and it's an issue where estimated fix times keep getting pushed back. With regards to mobile issues, this has been around the same length of time. The only way I've been able to get any connection at all is by switching to 3G

  • PattipooFoy
    patricia foy (@PattipooFoy) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia No TV from 23rd December till 29th! Got a new box fitted, okay for about a week then started playing up again! Spent 3 hours on the phone Thursday night trying to sort to no avail...need an engineer to come out again...but no idea how to arrange!! Terrible service 😑

  • Elisabet0490
    🪷Elisabet🪷 (@Elisabet0490) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia my internet has been suffering drop outs all day, now I have no working TV or internet. Being told it's my equipment when it never is, it's getting old that excuse. I will apparently have to wait 3 days for "an engineer to come out" - I can't I have to go to work 😤

  • CallyRaven
    Carol Rowles (@CallyRaven) reported from Westhoughton, England

    @virginmedia And our Internet is down again this morning! So because its intermittent we don't get compensation, tried to call, can't get through (have to do it on mobile, our 'landline' is now internet reliant!)

  • supergran22
    Maureen StewartJones (@supergran22) reported from Eccleston, England

    @VirginMedia Received message. Now not accepting my email address. I have one only. My problem is with the remote control which is activated by pressing 2 buttons when they light up. Have had nothing but trouble with one remote for one TV. Your communication us not helpful.

  • supergran22
    Maureen StewartJones (@supergran22) reported from Eccleston, England

    @virginmedia I'm not sure this is the 3rd box. It's the one with the router in same room. Re advice remotely got message saying problem could not be solved.

    Anyone else useless @virginmedia gone down got no internet house is in melt down

  • Baxy2001
    Baxy (@Baxy2001) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia please can you explain why I have been in a queue to speak to someone for over 35 minutes to try and cancel my contract? Absolute joke of a company, poor services and poor customer service.

    @virginmedia terminate my contract, I’m not paying any exit fees- your company, service and everything about you is terrible

    @biggle1908 I changed to Virgin media for that same reason. Very happy customer.

  • lgwlgwlgw
    LGWLGWLGW (@lgwlgwlgw) reported

    @virginmedia another hot day. Another day of utterly shite internet service. Much of the population WFH and your service is making this more and more impossible. My router has been rebooted. There are known local network issues - and it can’t be the wrong kind of heat #pissedoff

  • Nickcarrick
    Nick Power-Jordan (@Nickcarrick) reported

    @virginmedia still waiting to hear about the complaint I raised with your agent who is sending a letter because I couldn't tell him the balance of a bill that was written off 6 years ago by high level complaints but is now affecting my credit score to I need to go to @Ofcom

  • SamanthaJane_H
    Sam Sheehan (@SamanthaJane_H) reported

    @virginmedia I did direct message 4 days ago, nobody read or replied. I’ll recap- 2 weeks no service, five engineers sent to diagnose the same problem multiple times, no fix. Complaints team open and close complaints immediately with no resolution. Fix not due for at least another week.

  • Nicky_P_Smalley
    Nicky P. Smalley (@Nicky_P_Smalley) reported

    @virginmedia I haven’t tried ringing, as I’m more likely to get through to Elvis on a ouija board then you. For a month our top package internet keeps failing, you say you fix it & a week later it dies. Pull your finger out & sort compo for every customer in S63 7NR area.

  • Nabracadabra
    Nab 🦄 (@Nabracadabra) reported

    @virginmedia Your wifi service has been down for almost 2 full days in W13. What is the problem and why hasn't it been fixed

  • elbondivad
    Dansun (@elbondivad) reported

    @Ewan_Huzami @downdetector Down in East Surrey since yesterday too. Virgin Media app says service won't be restored until 11th August. Luckily I'm out of contract so I'm switching to Starlink
