    @virginmedia Hi is there a problem in the CH42 area,some stations like Sky Sports aren’t coming on despite booting the box back up, and the box upstairs is the same

  • CharlieIDIC
    IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia can you remind me the link for customer complaints please. Engineer lied, lost working time now still not right and I refuse to keep paying when I’m not getting a steady working internet let alone at the volt speeds as advertised

    rich cutts (@Cuttsrich) reported from Tyldesley, England

    In 10+ yrs of having #virginmedia this is only second time TV service has been down. The broadband meanwhile is up n down like a dog at the fair

  • CharlieIDIC
    IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia Looks like your engineer told me he would book a follow up appointment then didn’t bother. Your customer service lately and ability to provide a service are very lacking

  • mrmrjarrold
    Matthew Jarrold (@mrmrjarrold) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia hi I’m having problem with tv and internet service in L25 but you aren’t accepting incoming calls?? What to do?

  • Phil_Donoghue1
    Phil Donoghue (@Phil_Donoghue1) reported from Leigh, England

    @virginmedia you literally must be THE most unreliable failing ISP in all the land… Yet another outage which you laughably call “improving our network” and you’ve never provided even half the speed we pay for. About time OFCOM held this company to book!

  • HellsbellsO
    Helen Walsh-ONeill (@HellsbellsO) reported from Widnes, England

  • supergran22
    Maureen StewartJones (@supergran22) reported from Eccleston, England

    @virginmedia @primevideosport told me my TV not connected to Internet which it is. Was working and then wasn't. Now working but really sick of reoccurring problems when my @primevideosport goes off & told it's an Internet problem. If Internet problem wouldn't I lose everything?

  • Mcgourty22N
    Neil Friday McGourty (@Mcgourty22N) reported from Birkenhead, England

    Got to love Virgin media. The Tv isn’t working so you go to the website to see if there’s a problem or if it’s just you and that isn’t working either. But don’t fear it tells you. The page where you can pay the bill is fine.

  • Cuttsrich
    rich cutts (@Cuttsrich) reported from Tyldesley, England

    Its been a pain in the *** with broadband down all day working from home. But now no Joy of Painting with Bob Ross! It's not the despair that gets me down, it's the hope #virginmedia

  • supergran22
    Maureen StewartJones (@supergran22) reported from Eccleston, England

    @virginmedia Connection problem with Apps. Phone & told to give no. underneath box. Difficult 2 bend down, hold box & phone. How can there b a problem when the TV in other room is working? Sick of having a text to do it myself or ask 4 tech help from someone who can't help.

  • CharlieIDIC
    IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia They’ve sent a signal to it which they say will fix it but it’s even worse now

  • CharlieIDIC
    IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia I don’t want to talk to an Indian call centre going off a script I want a reasonable human who doesn’t work from a script and can help me

    IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia He swapped out the router said that solved a bit of the issue but speeds still not as expected then said he would have to book a longer appointment to figure out the issue so he went. Waiting for another appointment

  • sneaker52
    sneaker52 (@sneaker52) reported

    @virginmedia No just heard someone in the background and they hung up! I’m assuming there’s 14 day cooling off period. As currently you’ve installed something that doesn’t work. All I need apparently is the wi-fi pods but can’t get anyone to send. Please escalate as a complaint

  • Will_I_Sam_89
    Sam Williams (@Will_I_Sam_89) reported

    @virginmedia then after multiple service issues, countless customer service embarrassments of disconnecting me. No notes made on my account or hardly any of my issues or actions on your behalf. Changes to my account without permission and then Alex tried to charge nearly £300 2/3
