    @virginmedia I'm not sure this is the 3rd box. It's the one with the router in same room. Re advice remotely got message saying problem could not be solved.

  • tuite_liz
    Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported 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?

  • AnianaAbrudan
    @AniAna98722504 (@AnianaAbrudan) reported from Urmston, England

    @Virgin media,every months problems with broadband,so hard to get in touch by phone and always they have work to do during day in the week time. So angry now 😤 😒

  • CryptoDan2k
    CryptoDan2k (@CryptoDan2k) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia I totally agree, unfortunately this is not something you have been able to arrange for me for the last 3 months either. 👍 What's the solution?

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

    Day 42 of no service from @virginmedia. Engineer meant to be coming again today, think I’ve more chance of a unicorn showing up to be fair. 🦄

  • SimpaticoGem
    Gemma ≅ (@SimpaticoGem) reported from Walkden, England

    Tell me why with my @virginmedia wifi and my @O2 phone contract, MY WIFI CUTS OUT CONSTANTLY AND I HAVE NO SOGNAL ANYWHERE I GO?! Thought being a customer of you both was supposed to reap massive benefits for me?

  • jgrailpics
    James (@jgrailpics) reported from Liverpool, England

    When will I be able to go just one single day without @virginmedia failing, cannot wait until next year when the contract is over, increase the bills but reduce the service to next to nothing?

  • andrewjmcgill
    Andy McGill (@andrewjmcgill) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia I have been without broadband all day, a day after you sent me a letter about price increases, an increase for what, even poorer service!!!!

  • Its_Sal_Queen
    Sarah Hill (@Its_Sal_Queen) reported from Liverpool, England

    Would love to be able to start work @virginmedia, but the Internet is down.

  • _samhowell
    ⚒ Sam ⚒ Warrington Hammer ⚒ (@_samhowell) reported from Warrington, England

    Also @virginmedia need to remind their call centre staff that customers are not idiots; the guy I was talking to had no idea why the link wasnt working so asdvised me to "Try again after 5, if its still not working call back" wonder if he managed clock out bang on 5?

  • LindzDDub
    Lindz Devine (@LindzDDub) reported 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.

  • 1AnneMcCormack
    Anne McCormack (@1AnneMcCormack) reported 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.

    Gary Banks (@GaryBan47314801) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia This is not the first time. The service the last 12 months has been shocking And now you're asking for the over the top increase in monthly payments 😡😡😡

  • alandean1878
    Alan Dean (@alandean1878) reported 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.)

  • CryptoDan2k
    CryptoDan2k (@CryptoDan2k) reported from Roby, England

    Remind me again why I pay Virgin Media monthly for a service that works whenever it feels like it?

  • whatmichaelsays
    Michael (@whatmichaelsays) reported

    @virginmedia Into my third hour on chat and my fourth agent - and still no closer to a solution!

  • Saqqara
    Still me (@Saqqara) reported

    @virginmedia friend in the LU5 area has just called and has no internet or phone, do you have problems in the area and if you do any timeframe on a fix?

  • damienpooley
    Damien Pooley (@damienpooley) reported

    @virginmedia a few weeks ago I had some broadband issues and was told a new hub would be dispatched to me. I still haven’t received it, and my account says I don’t have any open orders. I tried to contact VM via chat, but (twice) the agents said nothing when connected!

  • alilarkin
    Ali Larkin (@alilarkin) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, we've had a broadband/TV outage most of today & we're told it would be repaired by 22.00 tonight. Now the latest update says it will be 15.45 tomorrow 29th. I work online from home so awkward is an understatement. How is this taking so long? F012401961.

  • smickyboy
    Mike Garner (@smickyboy) reported

    @virginmedia 2 days running we have had intermittent Internet in CV6 1GG and 2 days running your checker says the issues have been fixed. They have NOT! Isn't about time you really fixed it?

  • MachineGunLuk3y
    MachineGunLukey (@MachineGunLuk3y) reported

    @virginmedia will I get compensation from you for being down ? …… I work from home and you are now costing me money for every hour you are down ?

  • BarmyBluebird94
    Dan Lowe (ʙᴀʀᴍʏ ʙʟᴜᴇʙɪʀᴅ) (@BarmyBluebird94) reported

    @virginmedia sort out the connection issues in Cardiff, trying to work from home isn’t easy with you guys

  • thedazdanks
    Darren Danks (@thedazdanks) reported

    @virginmedia I’m sure I’m not the only one who doesn’t have their phone next to their hub. What if an elderly customer has phone and hub in separate rooms but need the phone as part of their care and wellbeing. Would your advice still be to just move one of them?
