    @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!

    @virginmedia I only worked as a network Ops mgr for nearly 10 years, so I guess I wouldn't understand network issues and connectivity, really. Or service level agreements. Or teaching my grandmother how to suck eggs.

    @CruisingTheCut I’ve had very few issues with virgin media - depends if you need TV though. Otherwise I’ve heard very good things about over the air using the three network or EE.

    @virginmedia Hi, will this continued investment mean finally getting signal in my area? It’s a central area and the signal is awful. Thanks

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

    @virginmedia They’ve been today apparently to do the repull and nothing has changed. Still no service. I won’t be paying this month as I’m not paying for nothing.

  • laineypb2109

    @virginmedia sort your **** out. No service at all since half 8 last night. Wirral CH41 area

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

    @virginmedia I reported a total loss of service on 31/8. It was finally fixed this morning. After no shows, lies and weeks between visits. They have not even offered to cover the cost of my last 3 dd’s which I wish I hadn’t paid as I had no service whatsoever

    @virginmedia This is not the first time. The service the last 12 months has been shocking And now you're asking for the over the top increase in monthly payments 😡😡😡

    Anyone having @virginmedia issues in Liverpool area? Our TV has been showing static for the past half hour.

  • lurkinhead
    Martin Travis (@lurkinhead) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia Okay, but with respect, the problem is your call centre say different stuff every time, which inevitably bears no resemblance to reality. Later, VM deny those conversations ever took place and there is no written evidence to back up what was agreed. That's what I am after here?

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

    @virginmedia Nobody can help me, they just keep asking for patience. They’ve had since august to fix it. It’s unacceptable.

    @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

    @tonymc39 @virginmedia Really, truly shockingly terrible.

    More issues with @virginmedia. My nan was out of contract and they repeatedly called with "better deals". She wanted to lower her bill but ended up paying more after being sold 500Mb broadband and Sky Cinema. She lives alone. I called back and said it felt like elder abuse. Why?

  • citizen_first25
    citizen_first (@citizen_first25) reported

    @virginmedia why have you got rid of Channel 150 that's TV does a price go down on my subscription ? As this is one of the channels, I watch every day very disappointed

    @imogen_tew Thank for your article in the The Times 11/07/26. I have been driven to despair by HMRC & a tax savings situation. Their errors, unhelpful staff, bureaucracy & incompetence should not be tolerated. They make Virgin media look good! Surely something can be done?

    Virgin Media News (@VirginMediaNews) reported

    At least 11 people are dead and 19 remain missing after Spain’s worst wildfire in more than two decades. Tourists, some from the UK, are feared to be among those who have died. Around 150 firefighters are battling the blaze, with at least 1,000 residents evacuated. Several victims were reportedly found inside burnt-out vehicles. More on Virgin Media PLAY. #VMNews

    @TheParty1sOver @virginmedia Yeah, wouldn't hold my breath... my issue has been ongoing since the 1st and still no fix in site

  • 2124Jim
    james mcgarry (@2124Jim) reported

    @virginmedia Outages do occur and that's understandable, what is beyond ridiculous is your customer service team. To tell people there's no outage showing when near enough a whole town is down is insulting.

  • clarewo86
    Clare (@clarewo86) reported

    @virginmedia having issues with our internet going offline multiple times a day. Been happening for weeks and just happened again for the 5th time today. What’s happening with the network lately?
