  • andypne3 Andy A. (@andypne3) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

  • ChrisPWebb Chris Webb (@ChrisPWebb) reported from Blackpool, England

    Just as the main event starts, my @virginmedia internet goes down for the 10th time this week 🤬 #WarringtonLopez

  • fos100 Richard Foster (@fos100) reported from New Longton, England

    Since I moved, the @virginmedia connection has been terrible. I’ve had an engineer out, had a booster put on, been told on numerous occasions to reboot the hub. This shouldn’t be needed. Their website is horrendous to use and largely involves linking to help guides 1/?

  • TheRealRagtag Stephen Murtagh (@TheRealRagtag) reported from Penwortham, England

    Not very often I say good things about @virginmedia but todays service was excellent. Peter sorted out Wi-fi problem, wavered the set up fee, and arranged a new hub after lots of line tests. Thank you. (But will have no service for 6 days in all.🙄 Refund?)

  • ChrisPWebb Chris Webb (@ChrisPWebb) reported from Blackpool, England

    @virginmedia It says no issues but it keeps cutting out 2/3 times a day.

  • fos100 Richard Foster (@fos100) reported from New Longton, England

    @virginmedia That just wants me to upgrade my package; I just want to order the pods. Why is the website so poor?

  • Madhornet73 Lee Thomas (@Madhornet73) reported from South Shore, England

  • BeanBolt BeanBolt (@BeanBolt) reported from Southport, England

    @virginmedia It says no issue in the area, then when I click "still having issues" the local scan shows intermittent outages in the area, been like this for 24hrs+

  • JordanKing1512 Jordan (@JordanKing1512) reported from South Shore, England

    @virginmedia I have contacted and was told I will get a text after the phone call with another engineer visit, not got anything yet??? Also who is going to pay for the damage and a plasterer to come round and fix? Honestly wish I stuck with @SkyUK at this rate

  • Ben6987 Ben Powell (@Ben6987) reported from Common Edge, England

    I’m fed up of @virginmedia channel guides not showing, internet keeps dropping out, apps won’t load up and it’s getting ridiculous for what we pay!!! I’m paying for a service that is not being provided!!! Im going to start looking elsewhere I think #virginmedia #ripoff

  • fos100 Richard Foster (@fos100) reported from New Longton, England

    Who in their right mind schedules planned maintenance for a Monday morning and says it could go on until three pm? Oh yeah, @virginmedia - cracking service as always #workfromhome #muppets

  • llloydman lisa lloyd (@llloydman) reported from South Shore, England

  • JordanKing1512 Jordan (@JordanKing1512) reported from South Shore, England

    @virginmedia Spoken with plasterer and to fix the K Rend £2000, they need to redo the full front of my house for it to match!!! I need this sorting urgently and need to speak with someone who can assist with this, it’s beyond a joke.

    Virgin Media keeps increasing their prices pretty much every month. And yet the service is out again.

  • GocalvesSilvio Silvio_gocalves (@GocalvesSilvio) reported

    @widewordofsport @virginmedia Hey there’s a guy named #(Darknet Authority) on IG they can probably help you with that because they are good at helping with errors and stuff like that

  • clairecs1 Claire Coast-Smith (@clairecs1) reported

    @virginmedia Ok - it has failed to play 4 times in last 20 minutes of the film. All reboot procedures observed. (Your service, not the film itself) is an absolute waste of my time and money. Please arrange for my account to be refunded.

  • kingshrimper Tom Dixon (@kingshrimper) reported

    @vvitchii @virginmedia Internet cut out for an hour last night, tonight 3hrs and counting! Virgin says no issues in my area, tried all tests and resets. Every few months we go through a patch of issues like this where virgin never admit there is a problem

  • BarrettBunnage Gabriel Barrett-Bunnage (@BarrettBunnage) reported

    @virginmedia I’m having major concerns with my recent broadband purchase and am unable to get any help - I’m being kept completely in the dark on vital information I need to know for my set-up and am unable to even cancel my order as reaching someone is so difficult.
