    @virginmedia afternoon. I’ve been on hold for 25 mins and when I finally got through the line went dead after security questions. My mum has been without her TV service for over a week. Last night an engineer was due by 6 o’clock and never showed. Another text stating the 26th

    @virginmedia Yes, the fault dates back from the 25th August and hopefully a fix will be made tomorrow, if not an engineer is booked for next week. When I finally got through the team were very helpful

    @virginmedia I’m currently on hold. My mum is in her 70’s and waited in for an engineer only for them to send a text 10mins before to say you were coming in the 26th. The original appointment was the 21st and her TV service has been down for well over a week.

  • measlewolf Steve Lees (@measlewolf) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia I understand that your systems were down last night, which happens, but I’ve been on hold for 30 mins this morning. We have a text to say it’s resolved but it isn’t. I just need to speak to someone please.

  • CaseyRain Casey Rain (aka S-Endz) (@CaseyRain) reported from Birmingham, England

    Causing me to drop out of a work meeting once every 10 minutes. Oh, and Virgin tried to blame it on my hardware? Except... My neighbour is seeing the EXACT same thing. This wasn't happening before the outage. @virginmedia why am I paying you lots of money for a spotty connection?

  • stumccullagh Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Solihull, England

    Not only did I have to go out to watch the football because Sky Sports doesn’t work BBC has gone down so can’t even watch MOTD thanks @virginmedia

    @virginmedia @__hassan_i Your service is ******* unbelievable 3 weeks we’ve had no WiFi and everyone we speak to is like a bloody robot! You’ve lost a customer 😤

  • m4rko Mark Foyle (@m4rko) reported

    @virginmedia Hi just seen this ad and great that you have a sale on! As an existing loyal customer of 10 years and due to pop out of contract soon, can I please take advantage of one of your new customer deals? Save me having to leave and go elsewhere?

  • DJJoshuaRoberts Joshua Roberts (@DJJoshuaRoberts) reported from Norwich, England

    @virginmedia Season’s greetings. An engineer has replaced the cable in the road with a temporary one and it works but it’s super slow, definitely not fibre quality! Any idea when this might be improved? J

  • Snakio64 Yondu 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@Snakio64) reported

    @virginmedia I really need help. My router is not working properly. I.have no internet despite paying for it.

  • JayDaSilvaSurfa 6ft in AF1s🇯🇲 (@JayDaSilvaSurfa) reported

    How’s my @virginmedia internet been down since yesterday. This is a joke man smh

  • LohanPadraig Pádraig Lohan (@LohanPadraig) reported

    Why is terrestrial Irish TV so terrible this year? Cheap, shitty films, constant re-runs in prime time. I know most people have access to Sky and streaming services so you mightn't notice a difference, but this year really is particularly bad. @rte, @virginmedia

  • TheLittleAtari Astaria - ONSH! ♥️🐾 (@TheLittleAtari) reported

    @littlewarrior @skytv Virgin Media all the way. Sky cant offer us fibreoptic where we live nor the speeds we get. Have had zero issues other than minor outages which we get warned about.

  • laurenlouisee Lauren (@laurenlouisee) reported

    @virginmedia no internet again for second time in a month. Off since Christmas Eve (perfect timing Virgin 😒) no online appts and if only we could get through on your lines without someone disconnecting us after waiting 65mins to get through! Shocking service again.

  • TonyPotterUK Tony Potter (@TonyPotterUK) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks John. This always happens and it really needs fixing properly or replacing. They often leave a gap at the bottom of the ill fitting door and it then gets prised open. When this happens it seems to destabilise services. Appreciate your prompt help thanks.
