  • GaryLiverpool Gary (@GaryLiverpool) reported from Liverpool, England

  • HelenLMoran HLM (@HelenLMoran) reported from Garston, England

    @virginmedia I need to cancel an engineer appointment. I can’t do it online and I don’t have a password to get through on the phone

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia It just says it looks like I can’t get on the internet and it recommends an engineer to come out. On the FOURTH OF JANUARY. During a pandemic when I’m working from home. I left @virginmedia because your service kept dropping, some things never change.

  • JoeHolmes1994 Joe (@JoeHolmes1994) reported from Leigh, England

    @virginmedia I need to cancel a engineer appointment for Wednesday. I’ve already been on the phone 40 minutes and I’m not waiting any longer especially after being told ‘we’ll prioritise you’. Please cancel it otherwise it’s a pointless trip for your engineer

  • peter0raw Peter Rawcliffe (@peter0raw) reported from Seaforth, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I’ve been on the phone for nearly an hour for the 3rd time this weekend. Can someone get in touch ASAP as my TiVo box has stopped working. I’ve tried all online support and cannot get through to anyone. Very frustrating!!!

  • Scraggmeister Mark Spencer-Scragg (@Scraggmeister) reported from Seaforth, England

    @virginmedia Ok. Thanks for this suggestion. I have posted something on the ‘Community Forum’, but you’re my service provider. Why can’t you sort out my Broadband speed issue? I’m paying for something I’m not receiving. #baffled #gettingannoyednow

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

    @virginmedia You are not listening. I understand it fluctuates. What I mean is why have I had an acceptable 300meg signal for 11 months & now it’s dropped to below half that? 4 phone calls & two technician visits can’t sort it???? I want what I had!

  • Kayls3457 Kayleigh Speakman (@Kayls3457) reported from Abram, England

    @virginmedia TV/Broadband issues again! WN2

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia I had a problem a few weeks back and couldn’t get through to you because of the queues, I expect it’s the same now. I should learn my lesson and move to another provider I think.

  • cbj622w livesformusic (@cbj622w) reported from Liverpool, England

    @KairenK @virginmedia @virginbroadband I've been lucky 10 months working from home yet to go down

  • NealJFletcher Neal Fletcher (@NealJFletcher) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia No, the picture still looks like I’m watching TV on a cheese grater. Looking at a few threads on your forum this isn’t a new issue either, customers have been experiencing this for well over a year. How’s about I stop paying for the TV part of the package until it’s sorted??

  • NealJFletcher Neal Fletcher (@NealJFletcher) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Nope, no outages. It’s been the same for days now. As I say, it seems a common issue with your customers and has been for well over a year

  • Juliefundraiser Julie Lawson (@Juliefundraiser) reported from Seaforth, England

    Well done @virginmedia customer service at its worse. Rang to get help to open ports to get RING bell/video working argumentative staff parting shot pay us £20 and £5 per month we’ll sort your problem. You are a joke

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

    @virginmedia The technician came on Wednesday & did a wired connection test. We are only getting 180meg which is terrible considering we are paying for 300meg! My children can’t get a signal at all whereas they were fine before! Two visits and still not resolved!

  • Scraggmeister Mark Spencer-Scragg (@Scraggmeister) reported from Seaforth, England

    @virginmedia Morning. If you’re still here for me, Broadband speed still only (max) 120mbs. Still paying for 350mbs & I’ve factory reset my hub twice. Can you help please? Thanks.

  • PammyVegas21 Pamela Lavell (@PammyVegas21) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia I was going to go to a better provider but was assured that the price was guaranteed until May 2021. You have broken the terms of the contract AGAIN. How many mature citizens who aren’t as computer savvy get ripped off by you? How is this being allowed to happen? Shame on you

  • 2003mirror Lord David Hurn (@2003mirror) reported from Seaforth, England

    @virginmedia Ggod Afternoon I have been unable to contact you, having problems with the TiVo box all other equipment is working, the screen is pixelating not getters picture properly, done everything how can I get in touch using on line chat ?

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    Sigh. Yet another @virginmedia broadband issue where it’s gone down. Again. Feels like this is a monthly thing now.

    .@virginmedia Is there an outage in Croydon? I have multiple neighbours who are experiencing connectivity issues today. Also frustrating to have @O2 backup hit with similar issues too. Is this merger going to be a disaster?

  • polothepup polothepup (@polothepup) reported

    @DracorumOrder @virginmedia @O2 I’ve had slow WiFi and slow data on and off at times, same networks...

  • josephforester1 Joegomezz (@josephforester1) reported

    Very disappointed by the service from @virginmedia no service between 2-4pm every day - everyone on our road has complained & still not resolved. Very poor service

  • NoddyMaccy ✖️𝔻𝕖𝕒𝕟 𝕄𝕔𝔽𝕒𝕣𝕝𝕒𝕟𝕖✖️ (@NoddyMaccy) reported from Warboys, England

    @virginmedia - Hello, for some reason it seems my phone has been disconnected and I cannot even get a signal to see what’s happened 🤔

  • MuseLdn Muse Ldn (@MuseLdn) reported

    @virginmedia how is it that no one at your help desk is bothered that we are without internet from Tuesday and apparently it will stay like that till the 15th June ??? #badservice

  • joeyizzy Joey Moore (@joeyizzy) reported

    @virginmedia Ok, who would you have got that approval from? Because at the moment that’s an awful hazard you’ve created. I have 4 young children that can’t be seen behind it near a busy road and there are 3 schools very close by as well.

  • burr_claire Claire Burr (@burr_claire) reported

    @virginmedia Yes. I have put a complaint in and apparently someone will call me back in the next 48 hours…..meanwhile we still have no wifi…

  • SimonPlayzFN1 SimonPlayzFN (@SimonPlayzFN1) reported

    @virginmedia it started happening yesterday for about 1 hour and 30 minutes, after that the Internet started working but really weak signal, then today its happening for about 40 minutes
