• 
  Tim Cooke 🇺🇦 (@timmycooke) reported 6 minutes ago 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!!!

  Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported 13 minutes ago from St Helens, England

  Day 42 of no service from @virginmedia. Engineer meant to be coming again today, think I’ve more chance of a unicorn showing up to be fair. 🦄

• 
  Bert Nash (@BertNashCha) reported 17 minutes ago from Bolton, England

  @virginmedia Tried that many times. Not working within 3 days. Can you call ME instead to arrange? If not, cancelling service.

• 
  TheAspiLawStudent #NoReturns (@LawAspi) reported 19 minutes ago from Chorley, England

  @nerdscav @the_hinchy @virginmedia Yes because a WiFi extender will fix the issue when it's the incoming line and not the hardware 😳. The routers gives a 3ping and 1GBps connection. The issue is virgin's crappy network 👍

  Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported 26 minutes ago 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

  BeanBolt (@BeanBolt) reported 29 minutes ago 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?

  @virginmedia Issues with all VM services in my area says expected fix by 4:40pm today.

• 
  Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported 33 minutes ago from St Helens, England

  @virginmedia Nobody can help me, they just keep asking for patience. They’ve had since august to fix it. It’s unacceptable.

  @virginmedia broadband being down again, how, why

• 
  Carol Rowles (@CallyRaven) reported 40 minutes ago 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.

• 
  DM 🦌 (@DaveMbootlebuck) reported 43 minutes ago 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.

  John Kelly (@John_Kelly17) reported 44 minutes ago from St Helens, England

  @CruisingTheCut I’ve had very few issues with virgin media - depends if you need TV though. Otherwise I’ve heard very good things about over the air using the three network or EE.

  strange little Flo (@FloButcher84) reported 47 minutes ago from Blackburn, England

  @virginmedia Yeah I've seen that already thanks, but it's not going to help the kids with accessing homework online. no I am not on a B account as of yet as I have only just started out in the last week 😑 but even if I was on a B account it would still be off so doesn't make any difference

• 
  Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported 50 minutes ago from Atherton, England

  @virginmedia See thread above, nothing changes except the time of the estimated fix. It must be very localised as not everyone in my area is affected. So if it is damaged cables, I haven’t seen anyone out repairing them over the weekend, it’s a joke

• 
  Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported 52 minutes ago 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.

• 
  Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported 55 minutes ago from St Helens, England

  @virginmedia can someone help me please? I’m about to lose my ****. Never ever known anything like this company. Now telling me lies on WhatsApp. Saying i logged an issue weeks after engineers had already been out to find the fault. Refusing compensation after 4 mths no service.

• 
  Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported 58 minutes ago 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.

  @virginmedia Sort your **** internet out, Been lagging all day on every device.

• 
  Mr H (@silestanix) reported 9 minutes ago

  @O2 @virginmedia ... Was here in April, no issues whatsoever ever. My account was under review for suspected fraud, this investigation was closed on Tuesday, it's now Friday and I STILL CANNOT get thru to family back in the UK because you're not allowing me to make calls...!!!

• 
  ArseF1 (@F1Arsenil) reported 12 minutes ago

  @virginmedia customer service has to be one of the worst! You ask to remove packages and they instead put you on a different contract without your consent! Monthly bill goes from £70 to £181 and they can’t explain how after 3 calls! Horrible just horrible

• 
  Stephen Hampson (@StephenHampson) reported 15 minutes ago

  @gblondon1 @skytv Wait till the new customer vibes runs out and they treat you the way sky did. Increase in bills and decrease in customer service. Isn't this right @virginmedia

• 
  Rob Jones (@robhjones) reported 16 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I’ve only used iplayer since changing but it’s impossible to watch anything so there’s obviously some connection problem and extremely annoying as its in the evening when we watch

• 
  Entanglement (@BellJohnStewart) reported 16 minutes ago

  @VMSportIE Who ******** is Tim Clancy? Some randomer off the street? Is Virgin Media Sport run by Sinn Fein?

• 
  ARYA (@lfcaryaa) reported 19 minutes ago

  An utter clown show from @virginmedia and @tntsports @rugbyontnt for messing up coverage again. Timeless errors. #BATvEXE #PremRugby

  Richard Newell (@Solid_S_Boss) reported 20 minutes ago

  @virginmedia sort your stuff out. I'm trying to watch the world cup and the internet keeps going down

• 
  dera calla (@DeraCalla) reported 21 minutes ago

  @SarahLudford @virginmedia @O2 Agreed. Customer service now so often means hours and hours trying to contact people, and going round in circles for days and weeks. Why can't we just call and speak to someone?!
