    It's 11:45. Having been awake until about 6 or so this morning for the election count, my alarm was set for 8 so I could be up in time for the @virginmedia engineer to fix my broadband. They'd be here between 8 and 12 they said. Clock's ticking...

    @virginmedia Media Services. We were offered a deal back in July which was all sports, movies and kids channels for around £111. Since then we have had our wifi and box and each time I call about one of these issues you clear the deal from our account. This month billing us £215!!!

    @virginmedia Each month I've had to make subsequent phone calls to have you rectify the bill. I called 2 or 3 times before this bill came out and was assured that it would not happen again. And as expected it has. Absolutely disgusting service!

  • LawroGardiner
    Lawrence Gardiner (@LawroGardiner) reported

    @virginmedia Router keeps resetting/rebooting/reregistering every evening. Will be out of use for as long as 30 mins and will happen multiple times a night. I've checked service status, all okay. Called the number, all okay. Carried out a pin reset, this solved the issue temporarily 1/2

    .@virginmedia Why have you removed #email from service status? My broadband is working, but my email is not; there's nowhere to check outages of that. #virginmediadown #virginmedia

    @virginmedia I Have been away but logging in externally to check my house with my CCTV, had to come back early as lost connection, I have booked an engineer, but your website status shows no issues after logging in as well as emailing me to say it's backup and running 🤬

    Christopher Green (@CDGreen22) reported

    @virginmedia No known issues on the status page. Don't think it's been identified as an issue yet. Multiple people are reporting packet loss in Manchester on Twitter. Can this be escalated and looked at?

    Wi-Fi not working @virginmedia Please sort this out 😤

  • Richard121
    Richard Evans (@Richard121) reported

    @virginmedia I can’t because it is timing out. What would be helpful is you resolving the problem. Area is Stockport SK3. Tried resetting hub, no change. Problem across laptops and phones. 2.3 mbps pretty consistent on Speedchecker.

  • Minghowriter
    Ming Ho (@Minghowriter) reported

    @virginmedia No, bcos don't want to start messing with my settings when something has gone wrong at your end. As per my previous message, it usually comes back in a few hours, but it's not acknowledged in Service Status. I'm getting incoming mail OK; it just won't send. #virginmedia #email
