  • vserafino19 Vito Serafino (@vserafino19) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia @tandcbroking Either a lot of people are checking the service status on the website or that site also not working. Cheers

  • kqbrain Khurram Qayam (@kqbrain) reported from Reading, England

    Another day of bad experience with @virginmedia broadband service in RG6 area. Buffering on streaming service, no video calls possible on Skype and WhatsApp. Seriously thinking of switching to @bt_uk

  • callum_penny Callum Penny (@callum_penny) reported from Fleet, England

    @virginmedia no WiFi for the past 4 hours now… have ran tests to solve issues. Says service is fine in area again now but still nothing? Gu52 area code

  • pmross Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia Nope. There’s “nothing wrong” with the broadband according to the status page. Never is. It’s always the hub supposedly downloading updates. 10 weeks of this now, getting a bit bored of the lack of service TBH. This needs to be escalated.

  • Pablocollier Paul Collier (@Pablocollier) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia Patchy. And the weekends enquiry regarding possibly upgrading... Non existent service.

  • kqbrain Khurram Qayam (@kqbrain) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia It's always the same response. No service impacting issues reported. However, the service is pretty bad. Wondering if @virginmedia network is capable of handling traffic or deliberately doing throttling. @Ofcom

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

    If anyone is interested in how much @virginmedia are overcharging for their dreadful service, I’ve just been offered a price match on cancellation to move to a different supplier. £27.50/month for a service for which they originally increased price to £105/month

  • Rochdale_Cowboy Craig (@Rochdale_Cowboy) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia I don't know. You never answer the phone when I call you.

  • kqbrain Khurram Qayam (@kqbrain) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia let me down once again with their pathetic service. First the broadband was extremely slow all day and now the Hub is gone. No emergency appointment and I have to wait for a week for a technician visit. @Ofcom

  • Pablocollier Paul Collier (@Pablocollier) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia Sorry but no. If you can't monitor your own service provision why should I ?

  • shaun1968 shaun harley (@shaun1968) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia I'm expecting a replacement set top box to replace a broken tivo. Told it will be delivered Weds. but I've had no confirmation email and not showing in my virgin app. Can anyone help

  • CarolRothy Carol Rothwell (@CarolRothy) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia hello. Please could you advise how on earth I get in touch with someone by phone??. I’ve spent 15 mins navigating website to try and get to a person rather than a bot. I need to report an equipment fault which isn’t service specific

  • hoarp001 Peter ***** (@hoarp001) reported from Fleet, England

    @virginmedia my broadband is running at 10mbps (supposed to be 200). The app has done a "scan" and it says there is a network error and check back in 24 hours. Problem is, it's still slow three days later and there appears to be no more help on offer. Now what?

  • EmsAlice Ems (@EmsAlice) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia We just purchased a film from the media store and it won’t play - just is stuck at 0 minutes 😡 we’ve restarted our box but always have problems like this with catch up especially… not ideal when we’ve paid money to rent a film! Can you help at all?

  • FfrTweets FFR Tweets💥🚀 (@FfrTweets) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia really difficult to get connected with an agent and some decent support, been trying to reach for days, just get Bots! @richardbranson

  • kqbrain Khurram Qayam (@kqbrain) reported from Reading, England

    Another day of pathetic experience on @virginmedia broadband service. No broadband service in RG6 area. Regretting my decision to switch. @Ofcom @DowndetectorUK

  • Rochdale_Cowboy Craig (@Rochdale_Cowboy) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia @elise_john85 So you're whacking up Elsie's cost because you have more customers (who are presumably also paying you) using the service, and you want to use Elsie extra £4.50 / month so you can invest in services that attract even more customers?!? Get in the bin!

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

    @virginmedia @VirginMedia_TV trying to get through to your customer services for explanation of bill. #losingthewilltolive
