    @virginmedia my interest been down for a whole week. Call centre staff don't know what to say. An engineer has been on site every single day apparently. Can someone fix my internet. I pay £52 a month this is beyond a joke. I've used all my 4g& bought a ****** dongle just to WFH

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia Telling me an engineer will come next week now, not good enough. Waited in all morning for one that never came and still no service.

  • 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

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • Radebreast
    Graeme Radebe (@Radebreast) reported from Ormskirk, England

    @virginmedia Hi - Ive noticed alot of people are having the same issues. Its the Sky TV Go app on Playstation 4. Ive checked it on another internet and it works fine so it is definitely an error on your side. You need to sort the internet settings. It struggles to load “on Now” on the app.

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia And the last complaint I raised over this got cancelled because it didn't have any details to the complaint even though all the messages are there to see through your WhatsApp service but the retentions team can't see that or deal with the complaint or help in anyway way

  • FloButcher84
    strange little Flo (@FloButcher84) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia bb3 area: internet has been down since yesterday morning & update it's not going to be fixed till tomorrow. I have a online business to run & kids need to do their homework online, can't stream any tv either. Can I ask what the issue is & why its taking so long?

  • Radebreast
    Graeme Radebe (@Radebreast) reported from Ormskirk, England

    @virginmedia what have you done to the Sky TV app - its constantly buffering and showing error messages. Just awful service. Please can you get this sorted ASAP please.

  • davidbirkdale
    David Jones (@davidbirkdale) reported from Southport, England

    Very poor service from @virginmedia for a friend of mine in the Stockport area. No TV now due to failure of upgrade, engineer can only go on Tuesday. Better off with Sky!

  • 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!)

  • PIL0TPEDR0
    Pete Best (Pil0t Pedr0) (@PIL0TPEDR0) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Yet again an intermittent service in Area 20 BL1 2 this has now gone beyond a joke, paying for a service and not getting it

  • 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.

  • ZachcloseYT
    zach close YT 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 (@ZachcloseYT) reported from St Helens, England

    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

  • 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.

  • 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…

  • NeckSausage
    NeckSausage (@NeckSausage) reported from Tarleton, England

    @virginmedia really poor coverage here PR4 6, is there a mast problem?

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

    @virginmedia It’s to our address, we need a full repull and was told it would be done within 48hrs. This issue has been going on for months, they were just telling me to reboot the hub.

  • swainw36
    william swain (@swainw36) reported

    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?

  • StuartA17243
    Stuart Aird (@StuartA17243) reported

    @virginmedia After 30 years or so with #virginmedia (telewest days) the price hike as an existing customer has finally pushed me to switch £41 for 250meg todays special renewal price after an offer of £40 on the phone yesterday. Double speed is £27 with sky broadband.

  • bricknblock1981
    Craig (@bricknblock1981) reported

    @virginmedia AVOID AT ALL COSTS - Absolutely awful customer service. Schedule appointments and never turn up. We are now on our 5th rescheduled appointment in 5 days and no expected timeframe for a resolution. Total loss of service 11 days and counting…

  • gm8arv
    David Taylor 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇪🇺 (@gm8arv) reported

    @virginmedia It appears to be with my VM account. Reference IDF-12B. Is quoted. Phoned but all I could get was “they will phone back in several business days”. Tragically poor service! I see that I’m not the only one with 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

  • 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.

  • steogin01
    Steo333🇮🇪 (@steogin01) reported

    @punishablepress It's virgin media and woke staff who work on that awful programme.

  • nickholding01
    Nick68 (@nickholding01) reported

    @virginmedia Trying to help my neighbour. She got message saying needs to upgrade to 360 by June but when we follow instructions to go to apps and games there is no 'upgrade' option

  • The_Broski_Boot
    AJ (@The_Broski_Boot) reported

    @virginmedia The estimated fix time was initially reported to be 6 May at 1pm Then we got told today at 6pm Now it’s back to 6 May at 1pm Surely we cannot be left without broadband and TV until Wednesday? Ref : F012271473

  • deanspread
    Deano (@deanspread) reported

    @virginmedia Well I’m at work now but it was working then going off for a couple minutes then back on all day. Then about 9pm went off for 20 mins then back on. Went on your page to check the service and it was saying nothing was wrong.
