    @virginmedia Visit was fine replaced wifi. I was never out of Internet completely like it says only your compensation page, but it was equally as bad since my step daughter had online training to do which couldn't be done at all. My children also were not able to do homework.

    @virginmedia The nightmare continues!!! Buffering is now a way of life for us. As is watching any programme on a streaming service in short two minute bites!

  • les_murray71
    Lesley Murray (@les_murray71) reported from Wallasey, England

    @virginmedia Yes got the update thanks, but not helpful receiving texts to say issue resolved, services been off for 14 hours now, any background to the issue?

  • Robertlfc_
    Rob (@Robertlfc_) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia is honestly the worst company for WiFi

  • pstock62
    Paul Stockton (@pstock62) reported from Horwich, England

    @virginmedia Internet down in BL6 5RN, any idea's

  • TimmyJ1972
    Tim Jackson (@TimmyJ1972) reported from Garston, England

    @virginmedia To be honest, the issue is an intermittent fault. My wife works from home and the broadband just drops out numerous times a day. Then comes back on. It’s only worthwhile doing a remote test if it’s when it drops out. Otherwise all will look fine

  • DaveMbootlebuck
    DM 🦌 (@DaveMbootlebuck) reported from Seaforth, England

    @virginmedia No. Can’t get through. I’ve just submitted a complaint

  • realjackoh187
    Jack Kelly (@realjackoh187) reported from Widnes, England

    @virginmedia I'm checking online and it's saying there is an issue with the TV, but saying broadband is fine. I've had constant disconnections throughout the day for 2 weeks now. It works for a few minutes then goes off. What is going on?

  • JohnMurphy9172
    murf (@JohnMurphy9172) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Just managed to get hold of someone, and apparently after over 10 years of no problems I now need WiFi boosters at an extra cost to myself all of a sudden, they couldn't tell me why just trying to squeeze more money out of me

  • supergran22
    Maureen StewartJones (@supergran22) reported from Eccleston, England

    @virginmedia Thanks. Very frustrating and time consuming. Spent whole afternoon trying to sort it. Twitter not really the best way to resolve issues especially with an 82 year old.

    @virginmedia I never have any issues when it comes to my laptop, though. Just my PS5

  • EmmaZhaan64

    @virginmedia All internet is down, wireless and wired; the hub light is white and it’s a Hub 3.0.

    Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    Day 42 of no service from @virginmedia. Engineer meant to be coming again today, think I’ve more chance of a unicorn showing up to be fair. 🦄

  • CallyRaven
    Carol Rowles (@CallyRaven) reported from Westhoughton, England

    @virginmedia 3 times in 3 weeks we are without internet! We are paying for a service we are not able to use! Are we going to be compensated for this?

  • J0er_82

    @virginmedia It says there's no issues at the moment, but I'm only getting 13mbps.

  • realjackoh187
    Jack Kelly (@realjackoh187) reported from Widnes, England

    @virginmedia So I had loss of service but not complete even tho the service I had wasn't enough to even complete a 15 minute online training. Great. Even though you only have cold water, would you still get a bath? Nah don't think you would

    @virginmedia @CliveR39 You have been promising to fix this since Friday ? Do we get compo ?

  • CalvinEmeka
    Calvin 'Emeka Onwuka (@CalvinEmeka) reported

    Ahh @virginmedia, less than a month into your Broadband Internet and the service is down. You hope to "restore it by 10.08pm" 😡😡😡 What. The. Actual. F!! 4 years with a previous provider and this never happened.

  • andy_nicks60

    @virginmedia @stephenm68 Ha you can’t even issue your flagship box in certain areas for lack of infrastructure ffs

  • markstapleford1
    mark stapleford (@markstapleford1) reported

    @virginmedia @Vonk9 Presume we will all be getting a refund for this lack of service on sky sports + not working? Been down a while and current estimated repair is the 28th August!

  • RyanCartiers
    RyanCartier (@RyanCartiers) reported

    @virginmedia AI should get rolled out once it works. Currently it does not - yet failing robots are used across the industry, eroding the reputation of those giving their customer the finger with it. Want to immediately be the industry leader?

  • robheneghan
    Rob Heneghan (@robheneghan) reported

    @virginmedia @CliveR39 How is this even close to being an acceptable response @virginmedia. Mine doesn’t work either. And watching sky sports doesn’t help when what I want to watch is on the red button. 🤠🤠🤠🤠

  • nwl88444048

    New Lucy Kennedy series gets off to a slow-ish start on Virgin Media One, especially given the pre-publicity about Tommy Fleming and the wife's comments and legal letters, reported in the Sindo and Sunday Times. An average adult audience for first transmission last night of just 71,000 with an audience scratching its head about why Fleming agreed to the interview if he didn't want to dig up the bad memories.

  • glentfc27
    Neil Skivington (@glentfc27) reported

    @virginmedia That's all well and good but everyone is paying for a service......which we aren't getting presently.

  • BlakeyCb48
    cheryl blake (@BlakeyCb48) reported

    @virginmedia I hope you’re going to compensate everyone for the lack of service we haven’t had !

  • SamanthaAsumadu
    Samantha Asumadu (@SamanthaAsumadu) reported

    You're stronger than me. I got Virgin media down to £18 when I threatened to leave. I took their offer. and now it's gone up to £24 quid 2 years later and no doubt will go up again next year 😞
