    @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

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

    @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

  • Swell09 Swell ✌🏻 (Pronoun: She/Her) (@Swell09) reported from Seaforth, England

    @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!

  • mand102 Amanda Archer (@mand102) reported from Haydock, England

    @virginmedia Seriously, what the hell is going on with the WiFi in Haydock, St Helens, Merseyside. Loss of connection 5 times in the last half an hour. App says no issues! Get it sorted!!!!

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

    @virginmedia Having on going problems with my TiVo box who can I contact to get it sorted, just had notification increase which is not a problem but expect 100 % working kits not the first time I have tried to get this sorted

  • MarkPBaines Mark Baines (@MarkPBaines) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia been with you for years and your prices are going up due to your service which frankly is rubbish all goes down so you lose a days pay working from home and you still want it paid for! You’re an absolute joke! Don’t worry though you’ve lost a customer!

  • jordpinnington Jordan (@jordpinnington) reported from St Helens, England

    Virgin media is dog ****

    @virginmedia No the light stays white on previous tests the operator said there is a problem and we will send an engineer but then a new hub arrived.

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

    @virginmedia Yes that’s correct, last time he sent signal and said it is okay, I no it is not the tv or usb wire as both have been replaced

    @garygilligan @virginmedia Problems on and off all day

  • blurr_3 ImBlurr (@blurr_3) reported

    @virginmedia Do we know a rough time for when the problem is fixed?

  • RyanDavenport89 Ryan Davenport (@RyanDavenport89) reported

    @virginmedia Did pinhole reset, back bedroom now getting 1/3 download speed as rest of house. Whole house still having intermittent connection, neighbour has same problem.

  • Ed_Forson Eddie Forson (@Ed_Forson) reported

    Again @virginmedia broadband is not working! Hasn’t worked the whole day in fact. Really tired of this bad service. Time to look for more reliable alternatives.

  • am_potato_face Kieran (@am_potato_face) reported

    @janehamilton22 @virginmedia Because this incident and whatever you're dealing with are different issues. THIS issue has been going on for a little under 24 hours, YOUR issue may have been going on for months.

  • atnori_ Antonio (@atnori_) reported

    @virginmedia what the hell is going on with your crap service and repeated outages today? £40 a month and I can't even load a video? When are you going to start refunding people?

  • AndrewS01250914 Andrew Scott (@AndrewS01250914) reported

    @LidlLevysTHFC @SiTay73 @virginmedia I actually think that's the main issue here. Everyone understands that sometimes things break and go wrong... It's been the absolute lack of communication and the robotic replies to anyone with a question. Utterly disgusting way to deal with paying customers.

  • _Sha_Mon_ AB (@_Sha_Mon_) reported

    @virginmedia How fast will you refund customers for loss of service?

  • LeAchkeagan keagann leach (@LeAchkeagan) reported

    @virginmedia your service is very unreliable.... I have been experiencing intermittent outages for weeks. Not good when working from home. Please update when this will be resolved. Gone from intermittent to a complete outage? Sent an email a while ago and still no response.

  • adamjrberry1 adamjrberry1 (@adamjrberry1) reported

    @Rathilion @vmbusiness Same here… we went for the higher plan with the best SLA, and also the backup in case of events like this. Let’s just say neither of those things paid off today. Shame as the service is usually quite good, but I’ve lost several hours of work today..
