  • 4KFreelance 4k Freelance - 4k UHD - HD Digital Creative Media (@4KFreelance) reported from Northamptonshire, England

    @pianobook1 @venustheory Took me 3-4 days to download all of the Decent Sampler packs on the slowest broadband possible from Virgin Media. Basic package. Only packs over 1GB failed network and restarted downloads. Meg are fine to download. Long haul nearly done with it.

  • Bexxy1976 Auntie Bex ✨ (@Bexxy1976) reported from Milton Keynes, England

    @KathrinaPerry @virginmedia Think they’re all down, BT and Sky not working here in MK either 😬!! #Outage

  • Helenfaerieart Helenfaerieart (@Helenfaerieart) reported from Northamptonshire, England

    @virginmedia random phone call from your tech support, issues with my router apparently, but, didn't know my name, address or account number...I guess this is phishing and fake?

  • covrules Jamie Nairn (@covrules) reported from Northamptonshire, England

    @virginmedia I’ve rung and got no where. I’ve tried online and got nowhere. I’ve texted and got nowhere. Just crap customer service.

  • russsanders2 russ sanders (@russsanders2) reported from Northamptonshire, England

    @virginmedia at what point do we start seeing reduction on the monthly bill. Paying for a service that is failing for an entire day

  • xArtik RVNS Artik - Marcos (@xArtik) reported from Milton Keynes, England

    @DarkDroid__ @Jukeyz @virginmedia I have Hyperoptic and really is the way. Takes literally minutes to get all activated & never had any issues in 8 months with it.

  • Shirley55474252 Shirley Ashby (@Shirley55474252) reported from Northamptonshire, England

    @virginmedia Limited TV service here Area code 31 in Northampton. Not happy!!Hope you don’t expect full payment on next bill!!!

  • OllieToogood Ollie Toogood (@OllieToogood) reported from Northamptonshire, England

    @virginmedia why is it impossible to speak with anyone who can help? I keep wasting hours of my time on hold to no avail

  • ChantelleEJ Chantelle (@ChantelleEJ) reported from Northamptonshire, England

    @virginmedia Thank you. It came back on yesterday AM but was out since Thurs PM. It was always flashing green and early Sat after running a test it said it was a network issue. I was luckily not working at home on Fri. It was difficult to find out if it was me or the network for a long time.

  • Emmiec85 Emma Southernwood (@Emmiec85) reported from Northamptonshire, England

    @virginmedia less than a week back with you and the tv and internet keep dropping, yet customer services will monitor the situation rather than help, won’t be staying! Waste of time provider

  • factory_sausage 🎃🦇🖤Spooky Sausage Factory🖤🦇🎃 (@factory_sausage) reported from Northamptonshire, England

    Hi @virginmedia is 02038271376 one of your numbers? Just had a call trying to get me to install an app called Quick Support. She seemed miffed when I wouldn't do it.

  • ChantelleEJ Chantelle (@ChantelleEJ) reported from Northamptonshire, England

    @virginmedia Thanks KT. Unfortunately it’s still not working and I have tried the online service checker and the number, it says no faults. Is the internet problem linked to the on demand problem? I’ve been out at work for 12 hours so it’s been like this all day :(

  • ampthillweltond Derek Welton (@ampthillweltond) reported from Milton Keynes, England

    @virginmedia can I be advised how to get on web chat please to sort my bills out help@needed asap please

  • sandeeptakhar9 Sandeep Takhar (@sandeeptakhar9) reported from Northamptonshire, England

    @virginmedia we've lost broadband. Reset the router numerous times but no success. Is there an outage?

  • Designs_JoanK Joan Keevill (@Designs_JoanK) reported from Hinton-in-the-Hedges, England

    @gigaclear When virgin media went down for a few hours, we got a rebate. What is your policy? It was down for a whole day.

  • lewis14cliona Cliona (@lewis14cliona) reported from East Haddon, England

    Really disappointing from @SkyUK. Satellite not working. Need engineer to fix. Not available until 13th August at earliest. Really unsure what the point of paying premium is if service delay is this long??? (> than 14 day maximum). @virginmedia @btsport could you do better?

  • covrules Jamie Nairn (@covrules) reported from Northamptonshire, England

    Terrible service by @virginmedia - trying to cancel my mobile contract & get a PAC to transfer my number. I’ve been waiting over a week & today when I got through to someone, after on hold 26mins, got cut off - but they didn’t ring me back! Wonder why I want to leave them?!?! 😡

  • domoriley Dom O'Riley (@domoriley) reported from Milton Keynes, England

    @virginmedia And @virginmedia another point.. you say you offer compensation when your service fails.. not charging me for something you aren’t delivering is NOT compensation.. like going to a restaurant and being told we won’t be charging u for the food we won’t serve!! A disgrace

  • cbwiltshire72 Chris Wiltshire (@cbwiltshire72) reported from Brackley, England

    @JordanNicholls @virginmedia Good job you don’t need the connection for working and keeping NHS patients safe isn’t it. ... Oh, hang on...!

    @virginmedia broadband offline for the 3rd time this week. Been in q to report fault for 30 minutes plus. Anyone else in CR5 having an issue?

  • Jojocurlytop Jo Ratcliffe (@Jojocurlytop) reported

    @virginmedia No - said another team had to do it and left ! No proper TV service for over a month now! Completely unwatchable this morning 😡

  • tphg777 Terri (@tphg777) reported

    @virginmedia Nope, tried again today, on hold for a further 37minutes then had to go out as I have a life. I am paying for boosters that don't work and a service I am unable to question, absolutely awful.

  • PritchRx PritchRx (@PritchRx) reported

    @virginmedia hi, I'm not getting anywhere near the speeds I pay for and I keep losing connection...can you help?

  • nigeone7524 💟MUFC.👹. 💟tattoos💟TWD.💟.FILMS.💟 (@nigeone7524) reported

    @virginmedia Hi Yes I've done the pin hole reset it seems its only dropping of in late in the evening its OK at the moment so I will see how it is tonight if I'm still having problems I will let u know I've not got in touch with the team yet thanks

  • DGNMoore Dominique Moore (@DGNMoore) reported

    @virginmedia I find it difficult to understand why you do not have agreements with yourpartner providers to block this switching without consent. I did not sign up for such an unreliable service. @WhichUK

  • RealStuartCarey Stuart Carey (@RealStuartCarey) reported

    @virginmedia If there is a problem in my area then I know it’s not my mobile phone so I don’t have to reset my settings. I don’t mind waiting until the problem is fixed just as long as I know it’s not my phone.

  • JoanneHoyles Hal - Jo - ween (@JoanneHoyles) reported

    Hi @virginmedia please PLEASE can I cancel my services?? I’ve been trying for three months to get through one way or another but I can’t seem to speak to a human! Meanwhile I’m being charged £85 a month that I can’t afford!

  • garyforster1 gary forster (@garyforster1) reported

    @virginmedia And what happens to text service do they ring back I need this working as in my computer room

  • doomunkhan Naweed Doomunkhan (@doomunkhan) reported

    @virginmedia can someone please call me regarding my complaint C-2111201682. Received your letter saying you tried to contact me but not true, also saying you have resolved my complaint but you haven't. The details in your letter are also wrong, ridiculous!
