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

    @jenwahkiddles @virginmedia Pity they didn’t do it for us, had no tv or broadband for over 3 months and can’t even get the compensation they owe us, plus the direct debits they took knowing we had total loss of service. Shambolic company.

  • 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?

  • Duddydudson
    Kevin Dudson (@Duddydudson) reported from Wigan, England

    @NigelJTurner @virginmedia Same for me, I can cancel or change my package by the 28th of march then get a 19% increase on my new package on the 1st of April. Only had my contract 5 months.being **** Turpind here!!!

    @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 😤

  • BertNashCha
    Bert Nash (@BertNashCha) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Poor. Very poor. 3 days trying, being on hold, being assured return calls, moving home team have to speak to Netflix team (don't even have it), then being told it's cancelled and being give packaging instructions. Ridiculous, wanted to stay with you.

  • wightpie
    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

  • stavroversfc
    s. whalley (@stavroversfc) reported from Lower Darwen, England

    @virginmedia your broadband is down again 🤬

  • 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.

  • SoloUtilitaRian
    UtilitaRian 🔶 (@SoloUtilitaRian) reported from Bolton, England

    With the intro of new dedicated Gigabit lines in my street I can't wait to switch over and leave Virgin Media for good. 3x internet has gone down this week and I just called VM. The systems there are down and gotta call back in 3hrs..... useless

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

    @virginmedia They’ve been today apparently to do the repull and nothing has changed. Still no service. I won’t be paying this month as I’m not paying for nothing.

  • fos100
    Richard Foster (@fos100) reported from New Longton, England

    @virginmedia That just wants me to upgrade my package; I just want to order the pods. Why is the website so poor?

  • SharronRawlinso

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

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

    @virginmedia I reported a total loss of service on 31/8. It was finally fixed this morning. After no shows, lies and weeks between visits. They have not even offered to cover the cost of my last 3 dd’s which I wish I hadn’t paid as I had no service whatsoever

    @virginmedia your customer service is appalling. Keep being given the run around and no action. Hate to do it this way.

  • ScouseRasta
    ScouseRasta (@ScouseRasta) reported

    @virginmedia 3 times in the last 2 days my broadband has been down for, around 5 hours this morning and again for the past hour! Get your **** together before I move to different provider along with a lot of other people. Don’t even offer any compensation for an outage, shocking!

  • kevinclarknw
    Kevin Clark (@kevinclarknw) reported

    @virginmedia Not good enough, I'm afraid. This is just the latest outage in recent weeks. The siuation appears to be getting worse, not better. We are paying for a service you are not providing and incurring additional costs through being unable to work from home.

  • Stevenbohttv
    Stevenboh (@Stevenbohttv) reported

    @MaxiedotVox @virginmedia Same here! Terrible Wifi, can hardly get any work done. I liked Virgin for its speed but now the services terrible. In New Malden (Greater London).

    hi, @virginmedia Virgin Media O2 — urgent help needed. Our ntlworld family email setup (parent account + sub-mailboxes) has broken after migration. One account now controls all logins (a sub) and the others are locked out. This is an account linking/migration error. Plz escalate?

  • brettgask76

    So I guess I am not the only one who is having problems with @virginmedia today and the past couple of WEEKS.....💔 Honestly what is going on.....

  • geekiebrian
    Brian Geekie (@geekiebrian) reported

    @virginmedia I’m still locked out of my virginmedia account after waiting 15 working days for resolution of this problem

  • rchcool
    It's mom not mum (@rchcool) reported

    @virginmedia @sabrevan Yes can you please explain the issue? Repeated occurrences means we can’t rely on the service until you confess the problem and whether it has actually been solved or if you’re just applying temporary fixes to avoid paying compensation to customers
