  • giinagii GiinaGii 🐱 (@giinagii) reported from Sheffield, England

    @Condieflyy My virgin media went down this morning too 👀

  • John_murphy1 John Murphy (@John_murphy1) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia how do I order a new hub please? My current one loses network access and needs rebooting every hour or so. Not ideal when working from home. There are no known service issues so I’m thinking it’s a hub issue.

  • John_murphy1 John Murphy (@John_murphy1) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia No problem, and thank you for sorting it out quickly. May be worth making sure telephone staff tell customers about call out charges as I had no idea they applied in this situation.

  • olibrown77 Oli B (@olibrown77) reported from Sheffield, England

    @pauldevine1986 @virginmedia We are still down in S7. Nearly 24 hours now. Saying 2pm is the updated fix time. But that keeps getting pushed back 🙄😡

  • John_murphy1 John Murphy (@John_murphy1) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia I’ve had that email. I’ve also had another email this morning saying they’re sorry to hear I’m unhappy with my broadband speed. I’m not! I’m unhappy with a call out charge being applied, which was promised to be reversed and never has been!

  • Callum_SEND Callum 🏳️‍🌈 🔴⚪⚫ 🔰 (@Callum_SEND) reported from Brampton Bierlow, England

    @virginmedia I appreciate you trying to help. The issue is with the virgin contract being 18 months and the "new" o2 deal being 24 months and how this would impact as I looked to renegotiate in 18 months

    @virginmedia got a flashing Internet light on router that won't go away so my WiFi (and therefore TV/ streaming etc) not working. Tried rebooting, resetting, the works. Online help / faq no help. Are there any issues?

  • Callum_SEND Callum 🏳️‍🌈 🔴⚪⚫ 🔰 (@Callum_SEND) reported from Brampton Bierlow, England

    @virginmedia @virginmedia @O2 if you're going to sell merged packages to your customers then you really need to improve your joint customer service.. just batting me back to the other without an answer is simply unacceptable

  • w47carr Mrs c (@w47carr) reported from Barnsley, England

    @virginmedia why am h getting the message that my cable is broken

  • victimsvoice73 Victims Voice (@victimsvoice73) reported from Sheffield, England

    Anyone recommend a phone network been with @O2 for years and since it merged with @virginmedia it’s shocking. When I went on holiday before I’d never had problems this year wouldn’t let me go my own internet & here signal keeps going for phoning not to mention rise in scam calls

  • TMcGRed TMcGRed (@TMcGRed) reported from Widnes, England

    @virginmedia broadband is really slow. Paying for 200mb D/L and getting just over 40mb at the mo! This has been happening intermittently over the last week or so...

  • Darren_Barton19 Darren Barton (@Darren_Barton19) reported from Crosby, England

    @si1774 @DanRob86 @virginmedia No mate it's owned by Liberty Global which is why it goes up every year and the service gets worse. Mind you he takes a cut for using his name.

  • RobertTamkin94 Robert-Andrew Tamkin (@RobertTamkin94) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @RMT3N @virginmedia @FortniteGame @SkyUK I’m actually moaning about a service I pay for but I mean it’s not you pays for my bills I do, so piss off keyboard warrior 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

  • KetaminePanda Augmented Deviant ⭕ (@KetaminePanda) reported from Brightons, Scotland

    So was playing competitively Overwatch last night, and on 3 separate times the ******* internet cut out. I lost a whole lot of points cause I couldn't get back in and got temporarily banned.. thanks Virgin #virginmedia

  • _Grejurn Grejurn 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺 @FurLough 2020 (@_Grejurn) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @virginmedia @dyna_qual I'm your customer VM. I had a catastrophic no ranging response T3 Time Out logged at 11:55, so I'd say it's too early to tell if the issue has actually been resolved

  • booshtukka Antony Kennedy (@booshtukka) reported from Epping, England

    @NeilCastle @benno86222551 @SteinerJar @virginmedia I feel like that’s what my post was. Bear in mind, this is not new. I’ve sent this feedback over and over, and the response is always to give me a ton of work and testing to do, and then the problem resolves itself and they take no responsibility.

  • Staigmeister Lynsey (@Staigmeister) reported from Newburn, England

    @monsterwba1968 @virginmedia Don’t bother they don’t work either... after 6 months of shit internet I got one... still can’t get WiFi upstairs... and I am not in a mansion!

  • slatere2 EmerSlater (@slatere2) reported from Neillstown, Leinster

    @ciaramconway @morningireland @virginmedia Poor Rian he couldn't finish his game of FIFA 🙈🙈 1st world and all that for him......

  • Domsball Dominic Bryan (@Domsball) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia To say your service is patchy at the moment would be generous.

  • jwfw John Watkins (@jwfw) reported from Andover, England

    @samsamm @virginmedia Sorry to hear, you must have a different issue. This was definitely a transient blip every hour last night
