  • 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?

  • JohnMurphy9172

    @virginmedia Just managed to get hold of someone, and apparently after over 10 years of no problems I now need WiFi boosters at an extra cost to myself all of a sudden, they couldn't tell me why just trying to squeeze more money out of me

    Internet down no good when working home #virginmediadown #virginmedia

    @virginmedia Nobody can help me, they just keep asking for patience. They’ve had since august to fix it. It’s unacceptable.

  • Robertlfc_
    Rob (@Robertlfc_) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia thanks for the awful internet service, f*cking useless you are

  • SmithysMaud
    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.

  • tuite_liz
    Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported 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.

  • TimmyJ1972
    Tim Jackson (@TimmyJ1972) reported from Garston, England

    @virginmedia To be honest, the issue is an intermittent fault. My wife works from home and the broadband just drops out numerous times a day. Then comes back on. It’s only worthwhile doing a remote test if it’s when it drops out. Otherwise all will look fine

  • DaveMbootlebuck
    DM 🦌 (@DaveMbootlebuck) reported from Seaforth, England

    @virginmedia No. Can’t get through. I’ve just submitted a complaint

    @virginmedia why is the service down in Chester area? #virginmediadown

  • John_Kelly17
    John Kelly (@John_Kelly17) reported from St Helens, England

    @CruisingTheCut I’ve had very few issues with virgin media - depends if you need TV though. Otherwise I’ve heard very good things about over the air using the three network or EE.

    @virginmedia any help?

  • Crosby71

    @_Ludachris @virginmedia Not any more, got **** of them ages ago

  • realjackoh187
    Jack Kelly (@realjackoh187) reported from Widnes, England

    @virginmedia Visit was fine replaced wifi. I was never out of Internet completely like it says only your compensation page, but it was equally as bad since my step daughter had online training to do which couldn't be done at all. My children also were not able to do homework.

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

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

  • AndyMcK1982
    Andy McKeown (@AndyMcK1982) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia So I’ve been told false information to make me sign up there and then! Terrible customer service there!

  • lurkinhead
    Martin Travis (@lurkinhead) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @BlaggerBly @virginmedia Seems to be Wirral wide at least, and I think Liverpool is affected too. VM should be massively compensating their affected customers for this, but they hide behind their terms and conditions where they only deem it reasonable to compensate if the outage last more than 3 days!

  • tuite_liz
    Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported 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

  • GaryBan47314801
    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 😡😡😡

    @Simon_Whale @virginmedia I had this issue. I'm still with them with the **** speeds because I refuse to pay the cut off.

    John Bull (@54JohnBull) reported

    @DeviateDefiant @virginmedia @MoneySupermkt It's a stupid system where every time you have to threaten to cancel, and eventually even that becomes a waste of time.

  • daveyhub
    Daveyhub 🎧 (@daveyhub) reported

    Why is the tv channel 5 so quiet ? @channel5_tv I’m watching through virgin media tv box. Same as Netflix that really quiet too compared to all other channels/apps ? Is it a @virginmedia broadcasting issue ?

  • AJ01991
    Alex (@AJ01991) reported

    @Simon_Whale @virginmedia They’re dodgy as ****, I had total loss of service for over a month, they kept closing my complaints saying it was resolved after I explicitly said not to. They also kept saying it was fixed when it wasn’t to avoid paying compensation.

  • Irissykes14
    Iris sykes🌸 #MMJC.🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 (@Irissykes14) reported

    @Simon_Whale @virginmedia I’d never consider virgin too expensive, and can never get in touch with them.

  • nickncs_cP
    Nick S. (nickncs) (@nickncs_cP) reported

    @itsuu___ yeah its a DNS or routing issue on virgin media's end. because the VPN connection is working all traffic is routed through that on the virgin media side. so to them they are connecting you to vpn, then it's the vpn that's connecting you to twitter.

  • Shifty_
    Shifty (@Shifty_) reported

    @DeviateDefiant @MoneySupermkt Welcome to Virgin Media, in this house was the same been with them since NTL days and still had better deals for new customers over there loyal paying customers so we switched to Sky. i have to say from my experience had 0 issues.

    @sephiroth17181 @virginmedia Had this for a long time in 2 areas - both had street cab within 25m of property. Would constantly lose connection & engineers left me with a box of up & down attenuators to bring signal levels back into sync.

    THE Rev. Quantum Bigfoot ♿️ #FLTG OG Anti-RGB OAP (@RevQntmBigfoot) reported

    @sephiroth17181 @virginmedia Current ISP only supplies Eero routers & they are terrible but have to keep one on hand in case external connection drops to optical box as they won’t even raise an issue unless their router connected (configured it so don’t have to change anything on the network if have to)
