  • ReissOmari Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Think we need to call an engineer out anyways, before the outage I was only getting 600mbps max when my package is the 1Gig.

  • ReissOmari Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, England

    And just like that my @virginmedia is off again, no internet whatsoever. Embarrassing service from them, very disappointed and frustrated.

    @virginmedia Thanks, there was nothing listed. However I discovered via local media there was a major outage near Dumbarton, however there was nothing on the website or app. The call centre didn't know either. Lasted most of the day. Pretty poor Comms.

  • ThomsonEdwint Ed Thomson (@ThomsonEdwint) reported

    @virginmedia why have you changed the way I access my account on trying to login into Virgin Media? You are asking for a second e mail address to access! I don’t have one . No other options.

  • CraigMansfield0 Craig Mansfield (@CraigMansfield0) reported

    @virginmedia no communication on outage in Dumbarton from virgin media directly. Outage since 12pm. What is going on

  • dishesrdone74 Chris Denton (@dishesrdone74) reported

    @virginmedia my skysports app is not working. It asks me to sign in then verify my email address then won't let me in? Help please.

  • aquarius16th Neil Walley💙🇺🇦 (@aquarius16th) reported

    @virginmedia having completed the recent security update, I am unable to login to skysports app via the virginmedia 'button' on my android tablet as the link is not working. Any ideas?

  • Lindalou0207 Linda Lou (@Lindalou0207) reported

    @virginmedia sort out your links on the new My Virgin Media and My 02, the verification email takes ages to come through and the passkey link doesn't work, an hour of my time wasted trying to verify my account.

  • Amanda20125308 Amanda Beesley (@Amanda20125308) reported

    Worst customer service ever from @O2 Raised a complaint, several weeks later they tried to contact me but I was driving so they closed the complaint!!!! And all of this is due to the incompetence of the staff at the Livingston branch 😡 @virginmedia

  • RobRollin2 Audere Est Facere (@RobRollin2) reported

    @Tramzadol @virginmedia @VodafoneUK Honest i think the constant time changes are pissing me more than the actual outage! Its crazy bad!. Have you done the compo thing online? Make sure you do mate.

  • RobRollin2 Audere Est Facere (@RobRollin2) reported

    @Tramzadol @virginmedia Honest its a joke. Never had a issue with @VodafoneUK , i need to beg forgiveness and go back ASAP!!!!.
