• 
  TheAspiLawStudent #NoReturns (@LawAspi) reported 2 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 3 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

  James (@jgrailpics) reported 6 minutes ago from Liverpool, England

  Completely pathetic useless company @virginmedia Every single day there's some sort of problem EVERY SINGLE DAY Can't wait til this contracts over, after that in a bit useless crap

  @virginmedia No as you person on 150 said you do not have a customer service that I could talk too. Your engineer said it was a fault at the box in street so I don’t know when it is fixed. But it’s not improve in the last month

  Alan Dean (@alandean1878) reported 14 minutes ago from Roby, England

  @virginmedia Everything struggles to stay connected to the Internet. Mobiles, laptops, the TV's. I'm not sure if the speed is an issue as I haven't checked it. (I'm not sure how to.)

  @virginmedia We have. Multiple times. Your agents don't know how to help. Spoke to 3 different people. I'm getting contant update emails. I don't need to check the service. I know its down. This is beyond ridiculous. I work from home, I can't do my job because of your terrible service.

  @virginmedia In this room have always had problems but just not like today. The router is just over 2 metres from box.

• 
  Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported 15 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.

  Lindz Devine (@LindzDDub) reported 16 minutes ago from Wigan, England

  @virginmedia I also play Destiny 2. I thought it may have been their servers but my boyfriend doesn't have the issue.

• 
  Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported 22 minutes ago from Atherton, England

  @virginmedia Could the problems in the area have caused damage to the equipment? As it was working fine before. Do I get compensation for all this time as the earliest appointment is Friday 14th?

• 
  Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported 27 minutes ago from St Helens, England

  @virginmedia are an absolute joke. Was told to call back at half 6 and guess what? They’re shut! And again, no engineer visit. Getting cancelled 1st thing in the morning. Over a month of total loss of service, piss take. #avoid

• 
  Adam (@agarnett) reported 33 minutes ago from Wigan, England

  @virginmedia Is there any way to tell if there are signal issues in your area? This says i should get 4g indoors and outdoors, i dont though i can barely access mobile internet from my house. Last 3 months have been awful

  Paul Regent (@PaulRegent1) reported 41 minutes ago from Bolton, England

  @virginmedia no internet available in Bolton - must be an outage as, although coverage is very poor, it isn’t usually this poor!!

  Ducky 🇺🇦 🎃 👻 (@duckyblog) reported 42 minutes ago from Tyldesley, England

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

• 
  Anne McCormack (@1AnneMcCormack) reported 50 minutes ago from Billinge Chapel End, England

  @virginmedia I tell them to ring 999 or 0151 709 6010 if they want to report a crime. They hang up but they sound South Asian and their English is poor. I worry about other oaps being conned. Good luck chasing them.

  UtilitaRian 🔶 (@SoloUtilitaRian) reported 53 minutes ago from Bolton, England

  With the intro of new dedicated Gigabit lines in my street I can't wait to switch over and leave Virgin Media for good. 3x internet has gone down this week and I just called VM. The systems there are down and gotta call back in 3hrs..... useless

  @virginmedia Hi, I'm tweeting from the device I'm having connectivity and signal issues with, I've looked on the website and it's not stating if you're having network issues or not.

  Darren Danks (@thedazdanks) reported 7 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Hi guys. I received my landline adapter today. Problem is, you’re assuming the phone is near the hub. My hub is upstairs and my landline is downstairs. Is there a solution or am I just buggered?

• 
  Max (@MFoster95) reported 7 minutes ago

  Change your supplier, insurance or utility, every time, go through QuidCo/ TopCashback You get whatever new customer prices and get the cashback. Got £45 back for my car insurance and £35 for a new credit card this year alone… £90 back on Virgin Media Broadband last year too

• 
  Steven Mills (@srmills90) reported 7 minutes ago

  @elissetennis I’ll try again tomorrow. I’ve had problems trying to watch streams through Amazon Prime via TNT/HBO with my provider (Virgin Media.) It shouldn’t be this confusing! And I can’t even seem to sign up for TNT Sports through the app to watch on my smartphone anymore!

• 
  The Way We Will Be (@TheWayWeWillBe) reported 8 minutes ago

  @virginmedia so cross with you again today Not only is the broadband up and down as usual (but tests show fine) but you won’t allow me to log in from my Apple Mac and you won’t allow me to update parental controls Useless

• 
  Andrea ™ 🏳️‍🌈 (@I_am_Leighton_) reported 9 minutes ago

  Apparently to change to a new contract within @virginmedia they have to leave me with no tv etc for 4 days even though I’m already with them. I’ve never heard anything more ridiculous. Think I’ll be just be cancelling. Keep your renewal offer lol joke of a company

• 
  Jan (@geminicat7) reported 9 minutes ago

  🛜 I’m safely back from the dentist’s 😷 (only a 6 monthly check-up and all was well) but now our internet is down and not likely to be resolved until 17:30! @virginmedia 👋 I can’t afford to use up my mobile data chatting on social media so I’ll see you when / if it’s sorted!

• 
  Claire Branscombe (@DjClaireb) reported 10 minutes ago

  @virginmedia any reason why we have constant buffering issues on all HD channels at all? Primarily sky sports and More 4. Have checked our status and all good. Unable to watch the Hundred ticket today as it freezes
