    @virginmedia I'm sick of explaining this again & again - see previous tweets & msgs to VM. It isn't even noted - yesterday 2nd line support looked at my ticket & said I'm "not receiving any emails" NO NO NO! Just emails with etickets attached, even tho get non ticket emails from same sources

  • fayeharland faye harland (@fayeharland) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia I’m not sure if they do. Happy to do another web chat to cancel.

  • K74Marti Marti Jerrard - K74 (@K74Marti) reported from Farnborough, England

    Everyday this week and again today @virginmedia has stopped working… constant resets and in some cases down for 3-4 hrs at a time which is preventing work, training, education & entertainment! Come on #Virgin sort your reliability out pse

  • DimiD35089880 DimiD (@DimiD35089880) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia We have engineer booked for today to see what is the issue as since I upgraded never had such a bad service experience for the last 12 years with @virginmedia

  • Chateauneuf64 Bowlesy (@Chateauneuf64) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia And there you have the extent of VM customer care folks!

  • fayeharland faye harland (@fayeharland) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia Hi again. Just letting you know we’ve made contact with him and all seems fine. So please can we cancel the engineer for Friday.

  • robmcewan1966 Rob McEwan (@robmcewan1966) reported from Finchampstead, England

    @virginmedia Truly astounding. I have spent hours trying to get virgin to actually carry out promises made and we’re still not there. I’ll swear the customer services reps I speak to are under so much pressure to move on to the next call they make it up as they go.

  • fayeharland faye harland (@fayeharland) reported from Woolhampton, England

    @virginmedia hi there not sure if you can help. We’ve been trying to contact my Uncle for a few days on his landline and it’s going direct to the message service. We’re getting quite worried about him and wondered if it’s possible to see if there’s a fault on the line?

  • Chateauneuf64 Bowlesy (@Chateauneuf64) reported from Wokingham, England

    Really hard to support brand @virginmedia and recommend them to anyone for Broadband. They may be the only competitor to BT but do you have to compete for last place?

  • CM40UK CM40 (@CM40UK) reported from Blackwater, England

    @MoneySavingExp How about they just deliver consistent service? I am leaving Virginmedia and they are making it hard, there rules state if I don’t get the speeds promised they I can leave without penalties, I’ve had 7 times where I have connection in the last 3 days! @virginmedia @richardbranson

  • K74Marti Marti Jerrard - K74 (@K74Marti) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia I have followed every instruction as advised. Turned off, set, check status and even network issue in area.. it just keeps dropping out daily with no know issues. It’s as if faster broadband has actually slowed it all down! Pse sort it out

  • RNeacsu Razvan Neacsu (@RNeacsu) reported from Didcot, England

    @Feesuff1 @virginmedia Having same issues on BTSport 3 HD and 4HD.

  • DimiD35089880 DimiD (@DimiD35089880) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia Promised date someone to sort external connections come and gone and still same s*****. Can’t believe 4 weeks and nobody can’t fix it. 🤔I think something is fishy @virginmedia get it sorted

  • MikeBiscoe1 Mike Biscoe (@MikeBiscoe1) reported from Reading, England

    @GiganetUK @virginmedia 13:25. Down again…

  • DimiD35089880 DimiD (@DimiD35089880) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia can’t even set up hub properly. 3 weeks since I upgraded my speed and I receive still the same but they keep insisting (we made changes will approve by tomorrow) REALLY!!! Is technical support think we are so stupid. Get a grip @virginmedia next stop complaints

  • DimiD35089880 DimiD (@DimiD35089880) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia Upgraded to volt500 from 350 and speed haven’t changed now 3 weeks despite your engineer changed the hub him self still same shame I been loyal customer for the last 13 years

  • CM40UK CM40 (@CM40UK) reported from Blackwater, England

    @virginmedia Yes I have on multiple occasions, I have just been taking to engineer who running the 30 day test, while taking to him I had 3 lost connection issues. Your employees are trying say that I will have to pay to leave my contract, @Ofcom state, I can leave without penalty

  • Chateauneuf64 Bowlesy (@Chateauneuf64) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia Broadband down again, 2nd week in a row. Had one day of service and stupidly canx Engineer due next day and hey presto back down we go again. 1 week wait for engineer, 1 day of BB, and now earliest slot for Engineer +1 week. Buyer beware. Typing whilst 50 mins holding with VM!

  • TheBadgerG Thom Gibbons (@TheBadgerG) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia Yes, zero issues in area for broadband, pulled apart and reset the router numerous times. It just keeps wanting to download new settings, works for a bit and then fails. Engineer now booked for next Wednesday which is an eternity running my business from home.

  • rancidmd Simon Wilkinson (@rancidmd) reported

    @virginmedia Stop fobbing me off with your complaints section. Give me a number to call where I can get this matter resolved. All I want is broadband. No tv, no phone line. As a customer for 13 yrs, I do not expect to pay for delivery either. Shocking service.

  • Danger_Mike Mike Lovell (@Danger_Mike) reported

    @virginmedia hello, not had any WiFi this morning. Reset the router but nothing. Is there a problem in NR7?

  • HNRECKLEZZ Hamit Nallbani (@HNRECKLEZZ) reported

    My WiFi is down again!!!! @virginmedia respectfully, you guys are the worse!!!!

  • kingshrimper Tom Dixon (@kingshrimper) reported

    @virginmedia our Internet is going down several times a week now in CM1. Obviously an issue, nothing wrong with equipment, please advise?

  • MietzieK *Hanage* (@MietzieK) reported

    @virginmedia Hi please can you explain why your service drops every night every 5 mins that I cannot even watch a movie when I’m paying over £60 for internet alone? What is your justification? This is a breach of contract as you don’t provide services that i pay for. Thief.

  • sheen74 shaun gale (@sheen74) reported

    Hi @NetflixUK my new @virginmedia package is inclusive can I cancel my direct subscription without issues?

  • FrazzzYT Frazzz (@FrazzzYT) reported

    Unsure what week we're on with Virgin Media just out right doesn't work... *Sigh*

  • GriffithsH_ Helen Griffiths (@GriffithsH_) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia I have still heard nothing on this and no-one sent a link for a webchat to resolve the issue yesterday at the agreed time. Please advise how to resolve this issue.

  • RibShark RibShark (@RibShark) reported

    @JustLemres could be from virgin media in the UK, seems to be the only streaming service that has it in the world right now (unfortunately I am not with them so I can't check)

  • RibShark RibShark (@RibShark) reported

    @WumpaGem Yes, there is a WEB-DL, not known where from (though Virgin Media in the UK appear to have released the film on their streaming service?). Quality is really not great though, there's a ton of compression artifacts and what looks like deinterlacing artifacts too.
