  • CharlieIDIC IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia Every time it fails I have never been asked to do a reset. The last time they checked their system and sent an engineer who put attenuation on it as the jitter was high and the system showed a fault their end

  • mrmrjarrold Matthew Jarrold (@mrmrjarrold) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia hi I’m having problem with tv and internet service in L25 but you aren’t accepting incoming calls?? What to do?

  • CharlieIDIC IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia can you remind me the link for customer complaints please. Engineer lied, lost working time now still not right and I refuse to keep paying when I’m not getting a steady working internet let alone at the volt speeds as advertised

  • Krys_yogi Ada Yoga🧘🏾‍♀️ (@Krys_yogi) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia you guys are really ***************. What's with the network outage?? Please fix this!

  • alandean1878 Alan Dean (@alandean1878) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia Still a problem. Programmes we recorded Thurs & Friday are unwatchable (& not available on Catch Up for some reason)

  • CharlieIDIC IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia I need to make a complaint and submit my bill for time wasted with tests that show me what I already know….it’s faulty and has been on and off for a long time and each fix doesn’t fix it

  • CharlieIDIC IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia just found out as I’m an oomph customer on volt I should get broadband of 350 but getting 53 jitter is beyond a joke too. What happened?

  • CharlieIDIC IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia I already spent ages on the phone on Friday when I needed internet but you were doing essential works. I study, work and have a young daughter I don’t have time for long phone calls for a service that should work.

  • CharlieIDIC IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia The team have booked an engineer but advised changes on router settings that have made it a bit better until the engineer can fix it properly

  • CharlieIDIC IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia offer volt speeds of 350 paying for 200 getting 60ish it’s ridiculous I’ve spent hours sending them proof when jitter high they think resetting it all and spending more hours getting everything back up will work and I don’t it’s only been this bad this time since

  • CharlieIDIC IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia I don’t want to talk to an Indian call centre going off a script I want a reasonable human who doesn’t work from a script and can help me

  • AndyDaley Andy Daley (@AndyDaley) reported from Roby, England

    @eddie_corrigan @virginmedia Is it skipper? It's absolutely garbage. Thank god its only twice a year

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

    @virginmedia Connection problem with Apps. Phone & told to give no. underneath box. Difficult 2 bend down, hold box & phone. How can there b a problem when the TV in other room is working? Sick of having a text to do it myself or ask 4 tech help from someone who can't help.

  • CharlieIDIC IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia They’ve sent a signal to it which they say will fix it but it’s even worse now

  • CharlieIDIC IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia Looks like your engineer told me he would book a follow up appointment then didn’t bother. Your customer service lately and ability to provide a service are very lacking

  • Holty_74 Nick holt (@Holty_74) reported from Wallasey, England

    @virginmedia service has been down on the Wirral most of the day. Any idea when a fix will happen?

  • CharlieIDIC IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia He swapped out the router said that solved a bit of the issue but speeds still not as expected then said he would have to book a longer appointment to figure out the issue so he went. Waiting for another appointment

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

    @virginmedia @primevideosport told me my TV not connected to Internet which it is. Was working and then wasn't. Now working but really sick of reoccurring problems when my @primevideosport goes off & told it's an Internet problem. If Internet problem wouldn't I lose everything?

  • Krys_yogi Ada Yoga🧘🏾‍♀️ (@Krys_yogi) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Just seen an update that there's an issue in the area. How long is this gon take to fix? Some of us have work and need to be online. This is rather frustrating

  • CharlieIDIC IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia are useless fixing an area so they break your broadband then get you to do lots of useless tests that show the same thing then ask for a reset that will not fix anything

    @virginmedia absolute joke of a service. Internet down since Sunday. Calling everyday to sort out internet out speaking to Indians with a major language barrier. Causing arguments in the household all because of your ******* negligence
