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

  • 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.

  • ShanklyBob77
    Ian Hawksey (@ShanklyBob77) reported from Aintree Village, England

    Absolute nightmare trying to watch @SkySportsF1 on my phone because of how poor @virginmedia are especially since merging with @o2, used to just put email and password in, now going around in circles with same message asking me to verify email link and switch, very poor practice.

    @virginmedia We have. Multiple times. Your agents don't know how to help. Spoke to 3 different people. I'm getting contant update emails. I don't need to check the service. I know its down. This is beyond ridiculous. I work from home, I can't do my job because of your terrible service.

  • ylilxanoi
    🥔 A bean has no name 🥔 (@ylilxanoi) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia Yeah.. apparently its down in WN1 but nobody is telling me what's wrong or how long it will take. I need Internet to work.

  • 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?

  • GreenwasBlue
    GreenWasBlue (@GreenwasBlue) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia I've tried the online help to no avail.Just going round in circles. How do I get to book a visit by a human being?? 😡

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

    @virginmedia No as you person on 150 said you do not have a customer service that I could talk too. Your engineer said it was a fault at the box in street so I don’t know when it is fixed. But it’s not improve in the last month

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

    @virginmedia 3 x engineer visits, each time telling me there’s a blockage. Why does nobody fix it? I can’t even get through to cancel my services and get a refund for the direct debits I’ve paid when I’ve had zero service.

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

    @virginmedia @VirginMedia_TV any help/advice on moving house. Want to stay with Virgin but can't speak to anyone and the home move team have said they've cancelled the policy? 3 days trying to speak to someone.

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

    @virginmedia It’s an ongoing issue and an engineer is due out on Thursday but today the internet decided it didn’t want to work on my laptop

  • wightpie
    Wightpie (@wightpie) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia So why then a) does it specify postal and b) not provide a field for mobile number. At best it’s misleading and at worst incompetent

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

    @virginmedia It says no issue in the area, then when I click "still having issues" the local scan shows intermittent outages in the area, been like this for 24hrs+

  • timmycooke
    Tim Cooke 🇺🇦 (@timmycooke) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia Both wired and wireless. We've had 8 engineers out, a rewire, new hub and still endless drop outs. Was told finally it was an upload issue from the amp that supplied the box on the street. But still we're having issues. The 150 number is joke, make it simple!!!

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

    @virginmedia Don't use this company its disgusting and disappointing the way they treat customers. Been trying to sort my contract out for 3 months now while they rob my money, create contracts that I've not agreed to and cancel complaints that I've raised.

  • ylilxanoi
    🥔 A bean has no name 🥔 (@ylilxanoi) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia Internet is down in our area since Monday. I keep getting multiple emails saying it'll be fixed by 12pm tomorrow, then 4pm Wednesday 12pm Thursday, 12pm Friday and now 4pm Friday. None of your call centre staff can help us we've spent hours on hold this week.

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

  • 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?

    @virginmedia @weyland76 From your picture it is not a Virgin issue it's your device, it's not released the network connection from the mobile connection. Best response is to restart to device then will connect stop blaming Virgin

  • Vikk3rs146
    Mark vix (@Vikk3rs146) reported

    @fluffybubbles73 @virginmedia They troll the same old crap mate ..I just switched to Sky after 30 years with Virgin because they don’t give a **** about you ..just want new customers

    @MichelleBeckett @SkyUK @VodafoneUK Yep Virgin Media and the TV licence people - they are awful.

  • DavidOw38948049
    David Owens (@DavidOw38948049) reported

    @virginmedia Tried numerous times to contact you (not a customer) for someone come to my home and remove virgins outside media biz and associated cables as they are unused, not required and unsightly Webb site just ask repeatedly if I am a existing/ joining customer and repeats

  • Lifeline04India
    MR COOL (@Lifeline04India) reported

    @virginmedia Team I am waiting for 5 days it’s still the same. Can u help me to fix the issue? I don’t know if it’s connected to router.

  • William_fleet_
    Will (@William_fleet_) reported

    @upmyallie This is why my mum left Virgin Media and went over to Vodafone; it is so much better, and we never have any issues.

  • keithdavidjones
    keith jones (@keithdavidjones) reported

    @virginmedia hi my internet service has been down since this morning tried getting in touch but no joy

  • superpaddiepads
    estevén (@superpaddiepads) reported

    @LessGrumpy @virginmedia Exactly that. The quality of the broadband has never been an issue but the customer service is almost non existent. But when you base that offshore it does tend to be the case. Very polite but utterly useless.

  • 1123funko
    Dunc in a bothy (@1123funko) reported

    @virginmedia I did all that before I tried on here. Not my first experience with this stuff. The issue was I had a ppv bought that I didn’t get to watch so the point is moot now tbh.
