    @virginmedia It’s everything connected via Wi-Fi. I don’t have the connect app. I check for service status on your website and it usually says there isn’t an issue, but that doesn’t reflect my service.

    @virginmedia No point, there is a problem but it shows there aren't any issues in the area.

    @virginmedia hi, after so many years of being a customer, do you send out new upgrades? My router keeps dipping and going off, been doing it for awhile now, couple of weeks.

  • thechilledpanda
    Mike Chilton (@thechilledpanda) reported from Bramhall, England

    @virginmedia Unbelievable, you've sent me a dongle to connect a landline too the broadband on the 6th , so the phone line isnt going to work, though not much help on 150 as they abruptly cut you off. Website is also down.

  • izzwoz
    Warrenesco Jacksonovakov (@izzwoz) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @virginmedia Seems your business model is never answer when someone wants to leave. 8 hours on WhatsApp yesterday totally ignored by Retentions. Queuing on phone again 30min probably get cut again after 1 hour.

    @virginmedia great customer service from your engineer Pete this morning. Polite, knew his stuff and a credit to your company. 10 out of 10. Would recommend yourselves.

    @virginmedia Not as yet. Just that my postcode seems to be affected when checking service status

  • Scarlet0Pimp
    Liam 🐀 (@Scarlet0Pimp) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia hello, can you please fix the broadband in the sk11 8aa area once and for all. It was down yesterday afternoon, just gone down today and down last week. Clearly there is some Faulty hardware that needs replacing. How can people work from home with broadband like this

  • Jo8Pink
    Joanne Fallon (@Jo8Pink) reported from Macclesfield, England

    @virginmedia I’ve been waiting, yet again, for 10 days to get a call to resolve my wifi issue. Can’t contact you by website and I’m not sitting for another 90mins to get passed round 6 people 😡. Ongoing issue for far too long now. 8 years I’ve been a customer, like it matters??

  • bludav_andrew
    👽 (@bludav_andrew) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Hi, for the 2nd time it appears you’re trying to charge me for a call out when I wasn’t supposed to be charged, I’ve already called once about this and was told it was corrected but it’s happened again? I’ve had to cancel my DD until sorted as due to come out 2morrow

  • Laura_May_Ness
    Laura May (@Laura_May_Ness) reported from Manchester, England

    Hi @virginmedia I have just moved into a new apartment where Wi-Fi is included. I have registered as a resident and I have received a pre-contract email but no account number and I am unable to connect to the Internet. Can you help me set things up?

  • Rik_Ashton
    Richard Ashton 💙🇺🇦 (@Rik_Ashton) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @SkyUK My Sky package is slowly edging up. Some new customer deals from a couple of years ago have worsened discounts but... I'm still around £30 a month better off than when I was with Virgin Media. Never going back.

  • andymillington
    Andy Millington (@andymillington) reported from Cheadle Hulme, England

    @virginmedia My stepson and his partner having real problems getting someone to move the account to new address. Seems like a simple self installation M&T but nobody will help.

  • CarsbergMazz
    Mazz Carsberg (@CarsbergMazz) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @virginmedia I've got a bone to pick with you. We got a new box a while ago, and it's randomly wiping the recorded shows. Not one at a time, all at once. We've been in touch with customer services loads of times, but they all just took us through the same pointless (1)

  • dantheman8t5

    @virginmedia any idea when the outage will be sorted? I have work to do today

  • essers
    Esjay (@essers) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia I have been told that: “Our wait times are very high at the moment due to an unprecedented demand to speak to the team & we are experiencing some issues with our internal systems.” What if I call and am on hold and miss an update on WhatsApp? Or email…

    @virginmedia I have numerous emails of my complaint , all of them paying lip service so to speak .

    Great start to the season for @virginmedia with red button games not working properly. Oh, it's not the Premier League so it doesn't matter.

    Joe Stanley (@yosagojimbo) reported

    Come on, why does my TV and internet keep going off @virginmedia ? Can't get through the 1st episode of reacher without the whole thing going off....why does your service consistently get worse each year?

  • Laitty
    Graeson Laitt (@Laitty) reported

    @virginmedia He relies on his television to watch Sky Sports. That is the service he pays for, and at the moment that service has failed him. Please can you confirm what the actual fault is and when you expect Sky Sports through Virgin TV to be working again?

    Rapidlygreying (@rapidlygreying) reported

    @virginmedia @Smallworth_xx This came up last weekend... how hasnt it been sorted in time between? How wasnt it sorted during the summer if its an issue? Why do we pay so much money for terrible service

    alex jones (@alex___jones) reported

    @virginmedia What’s happening with football on the red button?? Paying for a service I’m not getting 😡

  • bergy_bit
    Paul Matthews (@bergy_bit) reported

    My 83 year old dad is a bit senile. He signed up to @virginmedia without knowing what it was. We were aghast at the £160 monthly subscription he’ll mostly never use. We cancelled it and moved to a £30 EE one. Virgin have now sent him a termination bill for £1,500 @MoneySavingExp

  • NoMoreStarmer
    The Void Between Good and Bad (@NoMoreStarmer) reported

    Oh **** you @virginmedia Tried to ring to cancel TNT Sports and Sky Cinema and you put the phone down on me, Then I did live Chat on the app and the guy Mohammed closed it, Can you get someone who is English to work in your customer services.

  • finn33
    Caroline (@finn33) reported

    @virginmedia And it’s gone down. Again. Are you actually kidding me. What is this lunch time and virgin stops supplying broadband. How hard is this. Get it sorted. I’ve done all the trouble shooting and I’ve paid my bills. Jesus wept. I pay enough. Sort it out.
