    Rebecca Harrisson (@Miss_Defying) reported from Ormskirk, England

    @virginmedia But on the online forum it says others have had the same problem and your technical department need to contact Sky and the line needs to be routed to you again as it's a porting issue. I can't see any other examination although I appreciate I'm not a technician.

  • 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.

  • Libra_Comms
    Ali Gudgeon ✍🏻️ (@Libra_Comms) reported from Preston, England

    @virginmedia just wasted two hours on web chat trying to get a better sim deal as advertised. 45 mins to get through security. Tried to check/sign in on the Virgin mobile app and it doesn’t work for me or my husband, despite having an account for years. An absolute joke! 👎🏻

  • GailCharnock
    Gail Charnock (@GailCharnock) reported from Shevington, England

    @virginmedia You are aware of the problem, told us it's a fault and it's being fixed by 12th April, it wasn't, we rang, you gave us reassurance it will be fixed by the 22nd, it hasn't, we rang got passed around a lot! Now you say it will be fixed 29th. Hands up if you would put up with this?

  • Hnc365
    Howard Croston 🏁🇬🇧🇬🇬 (@Hnc365) reported from Preston, England

    @EppsRacer @virginmedia Gave up with @virginmedia many moons ago with the internet constantly being down which was laughable as I'd been talked into an upgrade that would cure the issue. Gave up with the call centre and sent a letter basically saying stuff! your contract

    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

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

    Who in their right mind schedules planned maintenance for a Monday morning and says it could go on until three pm? Oh yeah, @virginmedia - cracking service as always #workfromhome #muppets

  • LawAspi
    TheAspiLawStudent (@LawAspi) reported from Chorley, England

    @virginmedia LS, I have and do regularly when ever it seems slow. It varies from 12mbps download to a maximum of 110mbps. However the monthly average is under 60mbps. Which falls well short of my guaranteed speed.

  • SammyKnowlesX
    SJK (@SammyKnowlesX) reported from Banks, England

    @virginmedia please can I have a direct contact for complaints. I don’t want a generic email, I want someone higher to sort out the same issue I am having every month 😤😡🤬

  • boardchik
    Katy Molyneux (@boardchik) reported from Standish, England

    @virginmedia Internet is down again!!! I don’t need this when working from home! And before you ask I have done every step you ask us to do!!

  • lewishorsey92
    Lewis Horsfield (@lewishorsey92) reported from Warton, England

    @virginmedia 3rd time this week internet has gone down. Possibly the worst provider in the country

  • TheRealRagtag
    Stephen Murtagh (@TheRealRagtag) reported from Penwortham, England

    Not very often I say good things about @virginmedia but todays service was excellent. Peter sorted out Wi-fi problem, wavered the set up fee, and arranged a new hub after lots of line tests. Thank you. (But will have no service for 6 days in all.🙄 Refund?)

  • mgsevs
    sevs66 (@mgsevs) reported from Kirkham, England

    @virginmedia This help page just walks me through what I've already done, it doesn't show me how to reset the pod

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

    Hi @virginmedia, I’m trying to order some pods to sort out my truly shocking Wi-Fi, but can’t work out how to do so. Please could you help me?

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

    @virginmedia That just wants me to upgrade my package; I just want to order the pods. Why is the website so poor?

  • cadeharry
    Nightsky Ceilings (@cadeharry) reported from Euxton, England

    @virginmedia No the light stays white on previous tests the operator said there is a problem and we will send an engineer but then a new hub arrived.

    David Kirk (@veyron_fan) reported

    @hamchester44 @_HenryMill You don't get why people are so into it. Did you see the price of f1tv? It's literally a fraction the price of Sky.... If you don't have a classic TV service like Sky or Virgin media, which many don't, you're only option is rubbish NowTV sports pass for over £30 a month!!!

    Samina Masood (@Samina_masood3) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for responding but there is no sense of urgency in that message ‘respond as soon as possible’ & ‘resolve issue as quick as possible’; have you read the T&Cs & your legal obligations?

  • sabrevan
    Brendan (@sabrevan) reported

    @virginmedia - broadband down for the majority of the time since Wednesday night in KT2 area. “Helpline” says the engineers are looking into the problem. Surely you can give a straight answer. Sky and Vodafone are offering same speeds. Should I move?
