Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England@virginmedia I first informed Virgin Media that my internet was down via online chat on Friday afternoon. Will this have automatically been the time when my loss of service was registered as at the time the advisor said it would be fixed in 24 hours?

Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England@virginmedia Telling me an engineer will come next week now, not good enough. Waited in all morning for one that never came and still no service.
-
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.)

Lisa Allen (@lovelylisaj) reported@virginmedia hi, my mum got a call supposedly from you about the router being slow. I took over and I don’t think it was legit. They were asking me to switch off the router and put it on again. I ended the call as I was suspicious. Internet speed is fine.
-
Pete Samuels (@PeteSamuels5) reported@DorzetRob @Artemisapphire Ditto here. We're between 3 towns. Sod all signal. Had to get 'wi-fi calling' on the mobile phones, to make mobile calls via the broadband. Smarty seems to work OK. Old copper land line now shut off by Virgin Media.
-
Jacqueline Bolton (@JacquelineBolto) reported@virginmedia My private messages don't appear to be being sent. Am having to use phone data to message you. We live in Surrey. Not prepared to give my postcode here. No Internet since 5am. Independent sites say there is an outage that would cover our area.
-
GW 🔰🏴 (@GW_Mktg) reported@O2 terrible signal in my own home. @virginmedia have let me down (yet again) so no WiFi equals no use of phone. Long-standing client and not really feeling that benefit. Started a DM conversation which went dead. Please help
-
Breakaway (@McCourt2010) reportedJust renewed M350 package with you; £36.00 but new customers can get the same for £28.99!! Been a loyal customer for 14 years; your call centre wouldn't budge - one even quoted £31.00 but the next person contacted said there was no record of this! Disappointed. @virginmedia

Scouse House Bouncy Music (@ScouseBouncy) reported@virginmedia Not my account so I can speak you about it. What happens though is, you start a stream and then it corrupts, goes to a black screen and goes to a “Error code: COMPO” then closes. This is not network related, it’s not a box issue. It is an issue with authentication
