  @_MMaritima @virginmedia Wired speed test would be to isolate between a wireless problem or the connection in. Router might be shielded which would kill signal. Make sure other electronics aren't too close. I can ruin my wireless if I put router on top of my TiVo box

  @virginmedia I’ve tried to use the add-on service as being a broadband customer I’m able to download to the O2 app however I cannot sign in as I do not have a mobile number and it will not accept my landline, can you help

  Stu (@tenchylad) reported 8 minutes ago from Sunderland, England

  @OliverStanding @virginmedia It's not a great self serve option and poor customer experience. I have an issue trying to remove a service from my current package. Cant be done digitally or remotely. Only via phone which even then very few of the advisors have the levels of authority to amend your package.

  .@virginmedia Broadband down - phone line states because of 'improvements'- not expected back until 3pm. Why was there no notice so I could arrange to work from alternate location? How do I get warning in future?

  @virginmedia Well that was a pointless exercise reaching out to yourselves. Just proves once again what a load of rubbish Virgin is…. #virginmedia #garbage #dailymirror

  LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported 30 minutes ago from Whitley Bay, England

  @virginmedia 17 days with no TV service, finally resumed today after another manual restarts at this end. Any chance of a refund of half of this month? That's pretty dire.

• 
  LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported 32 minutes ago from Whitley Bay, England

  @virginmedia All on screen instructions followed, waited til I finished work today to check and it still doesn't get past 25% on the "searching for channels" page... Just taken the direct debit for a service which has been broken since 2.12.21...

  David (@Dave_is_Elvis) reported 41 minutes ago from Boldon Colliery, England

  @virginmedia checked your outage tracker and says all services good on the area. Been without internet for nearly an hour. What is going on?

  Pete Irving (@ZicoPete) reported 47 minutes ago from Sunderland, England

  On hold with @virginmedia for 20 minutes then they decided to cut my call.. great service. 👍

  Simon Bewick (@SimonBewick) reported 48 minutes ago from Whitley Bay, England

  Well since complaining on here about @virginmedia and their terrible phone calls last week I’ve had 5 calls in the last three days all trying to sell me the same upgrade. Absolutely this close (fingers mms apart) from cancelling with them completely. FFS sort it out!

  Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported 50 minutes ago from South Shields, England

  Ye gods, @virginmedia customer service is beyond terrible. An hour trying to resolve a "phantom calls" issue last night which now needs an engineer visit, and spotted that a direct debit is in an incorrect name but this can't be changed via WhatsApp chat and needs *another* call.

  Sam (@purplelime) reported 50 minutes ago from South Shields, England

  MR COOL (@Lifeline04India) reported 8 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Hi Team, no one caled still. Is this the way Virgin media support? Please cancel the delivery and order asap.

  IFB Media (@IFBMedia) reported 8 minutes ago

  This is the problem LOI TV and Virgin Media can’t solve on their own. Both have done more for this league in a few years than RTÉ managed in decades. Let that sit for a second. A streaming service and a commercial broadcaster have outworked the national broadcaster on its own game. RTÉ isn’t short on money. It’s short on will. Every household in this country funds that broadcaster through the licence fee. League of Ireland clubs are part of that country too. Yet the domestic game still gets treated like an inconvenience, squeezed out whenever something bigger comes along… That’s not neutrality. That’s a broadcaster showing you exactly where its priorities sit. And it ain’t with covering our Domestic Football teams irrespective of whether it’s home, abroad or both. Other platforms shouldn’t be doing RTÉ’s job for it. They shouldn’t have to. A national broadcaster shows up for the national game. Consistently. Not when it suits the schedule. Until RTÉ treats League of Ireland like it matters, everyone else will keep doing the job it was funded to do. That’s not a compliment to the others. It’s an indictment of RTÉ. This is exactly why Irish football needs a genuine TV deal, not scraps of coverage from whoever happens to show up. The prize money isn’t there. The funding model is fragile. A real broadcast deal is how you finally finance this league properly. Until that exists, moments like this keep repeating.

  @virginmedia Installed 360. What genius decided all the channels I'm not subscribed to will appear as blank screens when I'm channel hopping and how do I make it stop? If that's a deliberate design feature it's awful.

  does anyone else have issues with @virginmedia broadband whenever theres a slight heatwave 🤔

  Dan Stevens (@DanStev14730264) reported 15 minutes ago

  @virginmedia @LadyLucia05 Can you please advise what and how you are going to compensate. We have been waiting 3 days already and then you have the cheek to say we'll have no service until the 10th of July. Please respond asap. This is outrageous

  Danny Morris (@danny_9_morris) reported 17 minutes ago

  @virginmedia your internet is a joke, for the past 2 days I’ve had intermittent internet where it drops out for no apparent reason. It’s effected me working from home & tonight has mean I’ve missed 3 goals in the France c Senegal game. Your app says no issues but clearly there is

  @virginmedia Ok which area was that, You've not asked, it's clear your customer service levels are poor!
