  • wilcock_steve steve wilcock 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@wilcock_steve) reported from Barnsley, England

    @virginmedia Unfortunately we can no longer use this service as it states u can only do this 3 times. Which becoz it says phone fault as opposed to full service fault have been used!! 03 March is no good to me!!

  • RockettNeil Neil Rockett (@RockettNeil) reported from Wentworth, England

    Dreadful service from @virginmedia. Internet & TV problems for almost a week now. Completely fed up with being asked to unplug, plug back in again & run the set up process. It doesn’t work! They’re happy to take £70 pm for a poor service but reluctant to send an engineer.

  • badger63 judith badger (@badger63) reported from Sheffield, England

    Really disappointed with @virginmedia quality of home broadband... insufficient band width...paying a lot of money for really poor service...not good enough ... let's see what @sky can offer

  • RosCrowley Ros (@RosCrowley) reported from Hoyland Nether, England

    After the internet off most of the day yesterday, I now have 28 mg at s740 ap....I wish I had never changed!! @virginmedia

  • iFletch__ 𝓕𝓵𝓮𝓽𝓬𝓱 ™️ (@iFletch__) reported from Killamarsh, England

    @SkyHelpTeam i wish @virginmedia was in our area. Sky staff and managers lie when you call them Service is shit

  • incipient jayden🌦 (@incipient) reported from Brampton Bierlow, England

    @virginmedia i’m having am issue with my new order, it’s saying my orders parked.

  • RockettNeil Neil Rockett (@RockettNeil) reported from Wentworth, England

    @virginmedia I’ve run all the tests & it’s telling me the ethernet cable is unplugged. I’ve never had an Ethernet cable! I can watch tv & record but can’t access on demand or catch up services. It stopped working at 5.59am 27/2. Please send help! Like a real person. I’m getting fed up now...

  • pso_kt PsO kt (@pso_kt) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia hi can you tell me if there's any issues in S6 please,

  • Old_Wathonian Steve Shaw (@Old_Wathonian) reported from Brampton Bierlow, England

    Had virgin media a month or so but the WiFi signal is awful, even worse than when I only had a standard broadband connection. #virginmedia #wifi

  • jijimon2000 🤷🏼‍♂️Matt Bates™👨🏼‍💻 (@jijimon2000) reported from Brimington, England

    Third night in a row @virginmedia no internet. Router keeps rebooting the few minutes it’s back online it’s slow as. I used to work in IT so know it’s not something I have or haven’t done. #virginmediadown #virginmediadownAGAIN

  • jijimon2000 🤷🏼‍♂️Matt Bates™👨🏼‍💻 (@jijimon2000) reported from Brimington, England

    @virginmedia not gonna lie. Second night in a row that the router keeps rebooting and the internet keeps cutting out. I can live with that......tomorrow when I have a new cohort of learners to enrol if it’s not working, that’s gonna cause me a huge amount of stress

  • paul_phillips83 Paul David Phillips (@paul_phillips83) reported from Barnsley, England

  • CM_GMR CantankerousMan/Cryspy M&M-GMR (@CM_GMR) reported

    @WayVex_ @virginmedia Not sure if you live near me but I know three are doing works and having issues til Friday so virgin might be the same 😔

  • danjack1871 Daniel Jackson (@danjack1871) reported

    @virginmedia I booked an appointment this evening (for Friday morning), but didn’t book one beforehand as I was specifically told by your customer service that there was a problem in my area and engineers were working on it? Is there no record of this?

  • Snappersnap Matt (@Snappersnap) reported

    @virginmedia You really are taking the mickey I clicked on that and it brings me back to exactly the same service I've been trying to contact for the last 4 weeks

  • Herbert79Kerry Kerry Herbert- (@Herbert79Kerry) reported

    @virginmedia Yep! And had a signal sent down from the team.. still a problem

  • ColdJustice_ Claire Hooton BSc, PGDip (@ColdJustice_) reported

    @Virgin media. I really am growing tired of you charging me £120 a month yet being unable to provide me with the service I pay for. My TV box keeps randomly reseting itself & taking half an hour to reload & the pic has been terrible all night! #NothingNew #TimeForAChange

  • TheBn102 Bn102 (@TheBn102) reported

    @virginmedia I am and have been since December 2016. Your marketing team decide to harass me from time to time despite my preferences, but this is by far the worst.

  • denimscott DENIM (@denimscott) reported

    @virginmedia Was msg along lines of "no longer available". Have been told it's the channel provider who's done this. 851 & 852 have gone from yourselves. We can now watch recordings from the stations, so something has changed from earlier. Issue now would be that HD takes up a lot of space.

  • danjack1871 Daniel Jackson (@danjack1871) reported

    @virginmedia I was told there was no need for me to book an appointment as engineers were working on the issue

  • ripsaw_ellis Richard ‘Ripsaw’ Ellis (@ripsaw_ellis) reported

    @virginmedia No that won’t be possible. I have read that this is a virgin issue and not an Apple issue

  • outsideinside3 Dave 'Maxie Mac’ - building a metaverse life. (@outsideinside3) reported

    @JBrindle21 @virginmedia The worst thing is, the guy showed up yesterday to install but rather than ring my doorbell he thought it easier to pretend he did.
