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

    @virginmedia can you remind me the link for customer complaints please. Engineer lied, lost working time now still not right and I refuse to keep paying when I’m not getting a steady working internet let alone at the volt speeds as advertised

  • Krys_yogi Ada Yoga🧘🏾‍♀️ (@Krys_yogi) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Just seen an update that there's an issue in the area. How long is this gon take to fix? Some of us have work and need to be online. This is rather frustrating

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

    @virginmedia @primevideosport told me my TV not connected to Internet which it is. Was working and then wasn't. Now working but really sick of reoccurring problems when my @primevideosport goes off & told it's an Internet problem. If Internet problem wouldn't I lose everything?

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

    @virginmedia Every time it fails I have never been asked to do a reset. The last time they checked their system and sent an engineer who put attenuation on it as the jitter was high and the system showed a fault their end

  • Phil_Donoghue1 Phil Donoghue (@Phil_Donoghue1) reported from Leigh, England

    @virginmedia Shameful… latest update, we hope to resolve the issue by 4pm tomorrow! That’ll be over 24 hours down and you’ll still expect your money! Awesome service 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

  • Krys_yogi Ada Yoga🧘🏾‍♀️ (@Krys_yogi) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia you guys are really ***************. What's with the network outage?? Please fix this!

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

    @virginmedia The team have booked an engineer but advised changes on router settings that have made it a bit better until the engineer can fix it properly

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

    @virginmedia are useless fixing an area so they break your broadband then get you to do lots of useless tests that show the same thing then ask for a reset that will not fix anything

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

    @virginmedia I need to make a complaint and submit my bill for time wasted with tests that show me what I already know….it’s faulty and has been on and off for a long time and each fix doesn’t fix it

  • Holty_74 Nick holt (@Holty_74) reported from Wallasey, England

    @virginmedia service has been down on the Wirral most of the day. Any idea when a fix will happen?

  • mrmrjarrold Matthew Jarrold (@mrmrjarrold) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia hi I’m having problem with tv and internet service in L25 but you aren’t accepting incoming calls?? What to do?

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

    @virginmedia He swapped out the router said that solved a bit of the issue but speeds still not as expected then said he would have to book a longer appointment to figure out the issue so he went. Waiting for another appointment

  • AndyDaley Andy Daley (@AndyDaley) reported from Roby, England

    @eddie_corrigan @virginmedia Is it skipper? It's absolutely garbage. Thank god its only twice a year

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

    @virginmedia They’ve sent a signal to it which they say will fix it but it’s even worse now

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

    @virginmedia Looks like your engineer told me he would book a follow up appointment then didn’t bother. Your customer service lately and ability to provide a service are very lacking

  • Phil_Donoghue1 Phil Donoghue (@Phil_Donoghue1) reported from Leigh, England

    @virginmedia you literally must be THE most unreliable failing ISP in all the land… Yet another outage which you laughably call “improving our network” and you’ve never provided even half the speed we pay for. About time OFCOM held this company to book!

  • sarahnuge sarah nugent (@sarahnuge) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia Liverpool not working either, can’t even access website or phone

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

    @virginmedia offer volt speeds of 350 paying for 200 getting 60ish it’s ridiculous I’ve spent hours sending them proof when jitter high they think resetting it all and spending more hours getting everything back up will work and I don’t it’s only been this bad this time since

  • Hornyletloose David (@Hornyletloose) reported

    @virginmedia You say fix things but no estimated fix time and website to check and report it not working people are paying a very high premium for a very sub standard product right now.

  • mrsjsbwalker jackie 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@mrsjsbwalker) reported

    @virginmedia @TekNeil Can’t use service checker as website is down! A communication company you can’t communicate with!

  • Lady_greentea Kathy (@Lady_greentea) reported

    @virginmedia Why can’t you advise if any issue in So19 ?

  • RFC_William55 William Smith (@RFC_William55) reported

    @virginmedia my broadband has been down all day. What is going on? I live in the Port Glasgow area.

  • JudeeeC Jude (@JudeeeC) reported

    @virginmedia Really frustrated by this; I can’t do any work until I can get online😫 never had any issues with previous provider. Had virgin less than a month and this is the second time there’s been a ballsup.

  • mrsjsbwalker jackie 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@mrsjsbwalker) reported

    @virginmedia experiencing no broadband and/Wi-Fi in Glasgow G13 area. Can’t see what problem is or fix through the app as website is down. Unbelievable!

  • ScouseGoth Delusional. (@ScouseGoth) reported

    I'm very impressed with @O2 as a network, I got a sim only with unlimited everything, on a virgin media Black Friday deal for £25 a month. Using it for work with a Galaxy S9 as soon as the S23 is out I'm diving straight into a contract with them. There beating Vodafone by far.

  • MonkeeScarey ScareyMonkee (@MonkeeScarey) reported

    @virginmedia Don't you think I've tried everything? There is no internet connection. Rebooted router via admin reboot. Rebooted router via manual reboot. Turned off router, waited to turned on. Tried Ethernet connection, not working Tried WiFi connection, not working. 1/2

  • Hornyletloose David (@Hornyletloose) reported

    @virginmedia @twohitsthesix Not just Glasgow area Paisley and Johnstone also having issues Johnstone had no Internet all day.

  • KroyVR KroyVR (@KroyVR) reported

    @virginmedia Twice, originally 22nd, I missed a call from Virgin, so phoned back, took many minutes to arrange a second appointment from a Virgin Media virtual engineer on the 23rd December, which was never made by Virgin or received by me.
