    I'm gonna summarise 2 things I've developed a verdict on since my tv broke down. the @virginmedia app for windows = perfect. works great. the @SkySports app for windows = ******* horrendus! i dont understand why sky sports needs a separate app to watch them

  • Alec2306 Alec Clapperton (@Alec2306) reported from Andover, England

    @virginmedia I have been constantly looking at the site and it keeps telling me there are no issues. It only appears to be WiFi that is an issue

    @virginhelp my WiFi is terrible apart from when I’m sat right next to it and @virginmedia have been no help. kids are struggling to do their home schooling

  • Mr_PaintPots David Wright (@Mr_PaintPots) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia Thank you for responding, one of your team has now picked this up so fingers crossed someone gets in touch. Why have you made it so difficult to get support? Can you not provide an obvious option on your website please?

  • Alec2306 Alec Clapperton (@Alec2306) reported from Andover, England

    @virginmedia I have done all of this multiple times and nothing has come up. Today has been particularly bad where I lose signal every 5 minutes. I don’t need to keep doing the troubleshooting steps, I need a new router or an engineer

    so glad to have my tv back from repair after a few weeks of it not working. means i can watch Liverpool vs Burney nice and smoothly on my @virginmedia box and not have to deal with that god awful @SkySports app for windows #LIVBUR

  • KpRoebuck Spider (@KpRoebuck) reported from Eastleigh, England

    @virginmedia I have twice called to discuss the price of my package & twice, after eventually speaking to someone, they attempt to transfer me to customer services but cut me off. I've been with Virgin for over a decade but I'm being penalised for my loyalty. Please help

  • BrainTumourSurg Paul Grundy (@BrainTumourSurg) reported from Winchester, England

    Thanks to @virginmedia they install new broadband which worked for about 5 minutes. Now nothing. Follow all instructions to fix. Waited 5 hours this morning for the privilege and now 1 hour on phone still on hold Should have paid attention to the terrible reviews #wastedmyday 🤬

  • SarahJaneDyke Sarah-Jane Felicity (@SarahJaneDyke) reported from Eastleigh, England

    @hantsconnect @virginmedia Hi - I already logged a complaint when the damage was done 1st time

  • Shazer1980 Ms S (@Shazer1980) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia your phone lines are never answered your online chat is not responding or resolving my issues which have been on going since October. I can’t work from home!!!

  • enkeli85 Clare Old (@enkeli85) reported from Southampton, England

    Woke up to a familiar site from @virginmedia Internet down, first time in the new house but it's painfully familiar!!! Not ideal when working at home, especially when one of you reports for the NHS. Of course status checker says no issues 🙄

  • leeradcliffe73 lee Radcliffe (@leeradcliffe73) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia @virginhelp how long do I have to keep paying you a fortune for a terrible internet service which only works when you’re sat next to the router. Crap service as per usual😡😡

  • rahim94 Rahim™ 🇬🇧🇲🇦 (@rahim94) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia well get renegotiating. their app is awful.

  • mjam1978 Morgan Jamison (@mjam1978) reported from Andover, England

    @virginmedia Hi John Thank you for offering to assist. Internet is no better. Unstable and keeps dropping out cannot work from home as it cannot keep up with demands nor can my son effectively work online for school. Service in 2021 as poor as it was throughout 2020 🙄

  • michelleheydon3 michelle heydon (@michelleheydon3) reported

    @virginmedia How can they have been sold when no one could get on the app all day? Impossible! @peterkay_co_uk you’d better put some more dates on for us poor people that spent all day refreshing the app! This is 2022 should it really be such a problem to get the system right?

    @MarcusTechKat "Oh you're leaving us, here let us **** up your connection." Same **** happened with me when I tried to switch from BT to Virgin Media years ago. Connection was so **** after changing that it couldn't even stay stable for 5 minutes.
