@SkyHelpTeam Are you going to look into the issue accessing Sky Sports with a Virgin Media login via the web page? You can access via the mobile app. so maybe have a look your end instead of passing the buck

@virginmedia He said there was a restricter on the cable so removed it. I’ve checked the hub and it says there are WiFi issues but no idea what to do to fix it? It’s dropped out a number of times today!

@virginmedia 4th failed appointment. I’ve just called to cancel my order and instead I received a Delayed Activation email. My instruction was to cancel my order today. I do not want to deal with a company as useless as you, so do not try and be clever with me.

@virginmedia I think the problem is that the time it is taking to get through or even an on line query, I thought speaking to you may help I do appreciate in the difficult times it can be a problem for us all

@SkyHelpTeam So the hundreds, or thousands, of people on Twitter who can’t sign in ALL need to contact @virginmedia? It’s not, just possibly, a tech issue you two need to sort out?

@virginmedia Yes several times that’s what frustrates me, normally never have a problem with you guys personally I think I need a replacement TiVo box but I am no expert

@virginmedia @M_Jones1996 So you’ll be compensating all the customers who can’t watch the @LFC game for the SECOND WEEK RUNNING because of the same issue?

@Sparkle_71 @dhrutishah @virginmedia If their internet doesn't work, they can't use the Virgin media phone; and today's outage has affected also the emergency lines given to vulnerable customers. So the only way to call Virgin Media is to use non-Virgin Media phones.

(@rawsonjones) reported
@virginmedia You should have been aware many hours ago when your customers were. Are you hiking prices next month to pay for new yachts for fat cat CEOs rather than a better service to the public? Prices high enough already.
-
Just a number
(@BTCrypto1) reported
@virginmedia I really understand that sometimes issues can happen but what about when we have to negotiate our bills all the time, or every time our contract expires... if the culture is not changed I'm done with you, paying over £100 a month is not worth the stress

(@leg999) reported
@virginmedia Were you waiting for the press to start reporting on the outage before communicating to your customers? Or waiting for it to be fixed? The outage didn’t disappoint me, the total silence from the company did.

@virginmedia We’ve had poor service since November 2022 ! Engineer out last week confirms we have had multiple drop outs even one day with no service at all . System says you will get auto compensation no need to log . But yet no compensation just an increase in monthly bill #timetomove

@vmbusiness yo maybe make a statement about the outage for your business customers?

(@Steven99990817) reported
@dhrutishah @virginmedia If its a backup unit (BBU) your parents have had installed, they are only able to call emergency services from it if their broadband has gone down. They are fitted with a sim card incase of a situation such as this one.

@SenseMakesNone @virginmedia a telecoms company like VM would have maintenance work and network work going on overnight rather than daytime. There also would or should have been a priorty 1 escalation of this issue happening regardless of time of day. The would have known about it around 2am at least

@virginmedia Pretty embarrasing lack of communication and service literally the day before you bump up everyone's prices. You have a monopoly in my area or I would be gone in a heartbeat.

@virginmedia I'm having to hotspot my personal phone to work. I doubt you will compensate me for my personal data loss. Having your service pages down is unforgivable too
