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

    Since I moved, the @virginmedia connection has been terrible. I’ve had an engineer out, had a booster put on, been told on numerous occasions to reboot the hub. This shouldn’t be needed. Their website is horrendous to use and largely involves linking to help guides 1/?

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

    @virginmedia 38 days after the repull should’ve been done? You think that’s good customer service?

  • BeanBolt
    BeanBolt (@BeanBolt) reported from Southport, England

    Tenth issue in FOUR months now with @virginmedia. They've seemed to have stopped replying to my direct messages now. @WeAreOpenreach @bt_uk how long until you're newly installed lines in my area are activated and ready?

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

    @virginmedia All the while taking my direct debit payments for a service I am not getting

  • KeithJBolton
    Keith Bolton (@KeithJBolton) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia WA9 4SA no Internet. Says no issues in my area but obviously there is

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia Can you check that I will be receiving a credit on my next bill as it has been down since Friday afternoon and I don’t think it will be fixed by 12pm today, I think that time will get changed again.

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

    @virginmedia I never have any issues when it comes to my laptop, though. Just my PS5

  • CallyRaven
    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.

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

    @virginmedia 3 times in 3 weeks we are without internet! We are paying for a service we are not able to use! Are we going to be compensated for this?

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

    @virginmedia No, they just left. Rang your customer service they are now telling me the problem is internal. I’ve had no internet since July, no tv since August. It’s beyond a joke now. 5 visits I’ve had.

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

    @virginmedia 2/2 who can I speak to as it was working fine on Friday until the issues that were nothing to do with me happened, so don’t see why I should now pay for a technician

  • pillbo01
    kevin.james (@pillbo01) reported from Bolton, England

    I have virgin media but they don’t have a Customer service that you can speak to. Or email I’ve had a problem for over a month since an engineer messed about in the box in the street. Picture on tv keeps pixilated.

  • IanForrest10
    Ian Forrest (@IanForrest10) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia Plugged in new Wi-Fi hub all good. Paired new remote with box but upgrade to box failed error code M63. Bot is all over place customer service rep basically non-engineer saying turn it off on again!

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

    @virginmedia Thanks. Very frustrating and time consuming. Spent whole afternoon trying to sort it. Twitter not really the best way to resolve issues especially with an 82 year old.

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia In this room have always had problems but just not like today. The router is just over 2 metres from box.

  • Joe95976011
    Joe (@Joe95976011) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia worst customer service ever

    @Virgin #virginmediadown Virgin media is an absolute bag of ****, pass it on

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

    @virginmedia I looked and that says it’s from the day I registered the total loss of service which was yesterday but really it should be from Friday afternoon when I did the online chat. If I DM you can you check?

    @virginmedia @Carolestfc1 I havelogged a complaint, as paying for service we aren't receiving from Virgin Media

  • _DundeePerfect_
    A.Brown (@_DundeePerfect_) reported

    @timtam1888 @heid_the_baw_ @virginmedia The problem many have with connection Speeds in other Rooms has partly nothing to do with the size of the Router, it is down to using wifi and not wired by Cable. All rooms for best results need wired, my own wifi I can't even get sat outside my own House never mind game with it.

  • CorkinDawn
    dawnieC (@CorkinDawn) reported

    @virginmedia any other known tv issues in Ss15 area. Can get absolutely nothing other than a black screen

  • Cptredwaffle
    Captain_red_waffle (@Cptredwaffle) reported

    @virginmedia 3rd street-wide outage this year in LS6 tonight. Surveyors have confirmed my property is infra-locked with zero Openreach/Altnet access. Virgin holds a total monopoly here, yet the local street infrastructure is failing. Shambolic really, I need this escalating.

  • johngunn2
    johngunn (@johngunn2) reported

    @virginmedia @CliveR39 The last time I checked a couple of days ago it gave an estimated fix of 28th August. Which considering it’s been at least a week since it went down is a considerable length of time to not receive the service we’re paying for.

  • pgreen83
    Paul Green (@pgreen83) reported

    @virginmedia I have sent you two private messages and have not had a response. Is this how you treat customer complaints?

  • sadelta99
    Andy (@sadelta99) reported

    @virginmedia well done - you fix the issue then it’s broken again so back to no services again and of course your lines are closed so no way of calling

  • putasinghonit
    putasinghonit (@putasinghonit) reported

    Anyone ever had @virginmedia charge them for a movie they never purchased? Theres no history on my app, box or even an email confirmation of said purchase mind you - just a charge on my bill for £17.99 which they say was purchased with a pin number on the box.

  • shelf_life64
    Andy Anderson 🇬🇧 Defund the BBC! ♋️ (@shelf_life64) reported

    @virginmedia @TheAFC0522 Two weeks to fix this is wholly unacceptable…. I’m starting to suspect you’re having another spat with Sky or your engineers are all on holiday!! As you are well aware casting is not available from the Sky Sports app… A bill credit to all affected would be welcome for this!

  • F3Lollipops
    Andrea Cook 🧷 💙 (@F3Lollipops) reported

    @virginmedia we've had CS2004 on all channels since yesterday. I spent a long time in a live chat last night & was assured it would be fixed by 11pm last night but it's not. This is unacceptable. At what point do you compensate for not providing the service for which you're paid?
