Stu (@tenchylad) reported 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.

-
Norbertsteelez (@norbertsteelez) reported@virginmedia No TV channels all day. Just pixelated pictures. Tried the the website and it cannot check the service for my area. Pretty poor and amateur. And all we will get is a meaningless apology. What would happen if I held back my payments for a period of time and then apologising?
-
Karen’s Tweets (@LorryLocket) reported@virginmedia My emails went down yesterday morning too! Still waiting for it to be resolved.
-
Blair (@Blair4DFC) reported@virginmedia Why not put a message on the TV saying that? Lots of your customers will think its an issue on their end. I've turned off and on and changed HDMI cables This sort of thing happens quite a bit when you're watching in apps and you turn off the box whilst in the app.
-
🌱 Jilliano (@boopbetty1000) reported@ShineBrightJill @virginmedia Virgin have problems nationwide today apparently.
-
Dave Dutton: The Thirty Bob Kid (@DaveDuttonUK) reported@virginmedia If you could have let us know sooner I wouldn't have spent over an hour pissing about checking leads and rebooting the box! You should change your name to System Of A Down.
-
Dave Pearce (@DavePea15343212) reported@virginmedia Our teams are already working on the ongoing issue, and they’ve advised that they need a bit more time to get everything fixed. The current estimated time to resolve this is around 24 hours. Is that the time frame for fix?
-
Lisa Midds (@Lisa19576) reported@virginmedia My TiVo box isn't working. Rebooted several times but keeps saying "channel not authorised please contact virgin media". Been trying to get through & on hold for nearly 2hrs - Help Please 😭 @Virgin @virginmedia
-
Lee Johnson (@walnuts34) reported@virginmedia Must admit, generally not had major issues over the years, but the last few weeks have made up for that😡
-
tell me more 😊 (@Debcoolnan) reported@virginmedia @PractiPurple Mine too, since 11am today!! I can’t even check service status as ‘can not find your account’ 😳 still waiting for the email to verify 45 minutes!!!! Sort it out @virginmedia it’s ridiculous 😡😡
