  • scottcvrroll Scott Carroll (@scottcvrroll) reported from Liverpool, England

    Honestly feel like the last few months have been a battle with persistent internet issues. It’s become tiring and stressful @virginmedia.

  • sheilahibberd Sheila Hibberd (@sheilahibberd) reported from Rainford, England

    @virginmedia please help V6 box is playing up, causes tv to keep going off from a few seconds to making tv turn off. It is not the TV as works fine on freeeview

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    Having to use my phone data to tether my laptop for work as @virginmedia broadband has gone down. Ran through diags and it’s said an engineer needs to attend 🙄 Managed to get an appointment between 12-4 today which is surprising!

  • TheICC_Sandra Sandra Jane Eyre (@TheICC_Sandra) reported from Southport, England

    @virginmedia The 4 people I spoke to seemed to think they were running late from the visit last Thursday, lady I spoke to was helpful and was calling the tech that visited the problem, another 5 days later and still no update!

  • KayakmooseF Kayakmoose (@KayakmooseF) reported from Liverpool, England

    @BeanToast @skytv @virginmedia Check each month's bill very carefully as they are prone to be really inconsistent when it comes to billing. I wouldn't use them at all but no others can provide speed like there's in my area. Once others start providing a service like virgin I will be changing providers.

  • ansumDave David Harrison (@ansumDave) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia So your promises mean nothing nor customer service. I ha e spent so much to e explaining my self and my issue. If I say I will do something I will do it. When I rang the centre yet again this morning I was again assured that a call back would be made today

  • walshy31 Paul Walsh (@walshy31) reported from Seaforth, England

    @virginmedia could I please have a number to speak to someone human about my WiFi issues?

  • lyndseym123 Lyndsey Moss (@lyndseym123) reported from Halewood, England

    @virginmedia our connection keeps cutting in and out while watching TV - everything else coming through the HDMI is fine. Could someone please advise if there are issues in the L25 Liverpool area please #virginmedia

  • markrp64 MarkRP (@markrp64) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia is the WiFi down in Wavertree Liverpool. Tried rebooting our hub and still no success. Two days without WiFi. Tried phoning the other day but gave up after 50 mins,

  • CharlieIDIC IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia you sent a new router because the other one didn’t work properly and this one is worse. WiFi non existent I want to leave your rubbish service and I’m not sitting on the phone for hours so sort it or I’m going to the ombudsman

  • walshy31 Paul Walsh (@walshy31) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia In work now! Family struggling at home will have to do tonight! Are there other steps you can message me. messaging on here last week service been terrible and believe the whole area from speaking to friends and family! Virgin need to acknowledge and communicate if bigger issues.

    @virginmedia is your live chat on the website not working?

  • ansumDave David Harrison (@ansumDave) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Ringing your service once more how pathetic is it

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia Visit was put on hold as you later found you had a wider issue. It was resolved after a few hours so not too bad. Not sure how happy my boss was at me not being able to get online though...

  • mymatedex @gm (@mymatedex) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia any chance someone could help me. Been trying to get through for 2 hours. Want to cancel my TVcontract and this is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do to cancel. Going around in circles 🤯

  • andigill Andy Gill (@andigill) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia You keep people waiting on chat for over 4 hours, you keep people waiting on the phone for an hour, you don't reply to earlier tweets just how do i cancel my contract

  • the_havster Havster (@the_havster) reported

    @_chrismcintosh Similar issues with Sky Q, eventually got someone in to run CAT5 cabling and tuned off WiFi on the Sky boxes. Problem solved until the Virgin router stopped issuing an IP address. @SkyUK and @virginmedia a total joke individually and together a complete ****-up. Shameful !!
