    Chris Dale (@chrisdaleoxford) reported from Oxfordshire, England

    @vmbusinesshelp @vmbusiness @virginmedia A major fault apparently. They claim to be “working hard” to fix it. Shambles

    Miles Gomme (@MilesGomme) reported from Cumnor, England

    @virginmedia I only use the hub as a router for my internal network of Dlan Wi-Fi extenders. This provides the best solution in my house. Having another Wi-Fi signal only causes more issues. Manual control is always the best solution! The Dlan routers stopped working….

    Why does @virginmedia keep going down in the OX5 area. This is the 4th time since Christmas. Furthermore you can’t get through to anyone to discuss it.

  • Hoopsjackal
    Mark Crossley (@Hoopsjackal) reported from Wheatley, England

    @virginmedia I was promised a call back within 24 hrs on Saturday, still nothing. Problems with TV and Broadband, can u please arrange an engineer urgently

    @virginmedia your services are becoming a joke. Constant WiFi issues and problems. Sort it out ASAP. Frustrating.

    @virginmedia Finally we did. Took 2 days of texting. Not the best service.

    @virginmedia was offered a wifi pod service last week due to the poor internet in my property, got the one pod and was told to call back on the 20/5/21 to order the additional 2 that are available, now on the phone to your team and getting nowhere!

  • missdrivanova
    Desi (@missdrivanova) reported from Oxfordshire, England

    Hey @virginmedia - I have no WiFi at all since about 7pm last night (OX2). Any idea what the issue is and when it will be resolved? Thanks!

    @virginmedia is there a problem in Oxford? Video calls on team dreadful, and connection very inconsistent.

    @virginmedia @virginhelp we have been out for a few hours on ox2 8pg. When will our service be back up?

  • Fabiaburlesque
    Fabia Cerra - Actor/Dancer/Choreographer/Writer (@Fabiaburlesque) reported from Oxfordshire, England

    @TheO2 and @virginmedia @BBCWatchdog Be careful of this, they say they will send you a free SIM card. First off, it never arrived. Secondly, they rack up a bill baring in mind I’ve not used it. Then put it on your credit rating. So glad my three year contract ends with o2 soon.

    CrankyGeek (@pepetideo) reported from Oxford, England

    @virginmedia @FuzziePieRat Yes.. And how ****** up is it that you treat your existing paying customers so badly they have to attempt to do these hacks to get what you are freely giving away to new customers?

  • StuPCrook
    Stuart Crook (@StuPCrook) reported from Oxfordshire, England

    @virginmedia I’ve called them and got nowhere - it’s a simple request that should be a simple form - not an hour wait in the phone minimum. You don’t publish the number, it isn’t in the help screen and the chat function times out! #useless #poorcustomerservice

  • SmithRodwsmith1
    Rodney Smith (@SmithRodwsmith1) reported from Cumnor, England

    @virginmedia I’ve been looking into this problem & the TV is all Connected to my Virginmedia Internet then it suddenly disconnects from the Internet & then this is why it goes back to my TV Homescreen then i go back into settings & wireless network click on this & then it’s returns & works🤪?

    @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!

    Richard (@visitandtravel) reported

    @IainSankey @virginmedia These large companies Sky etc are so used to making huge amounts from the TV/broadband services - they are living on the assumption that most people will not switch. It is greed on their part, or they just do not give a damn.

  • pstaylor1412
    paul taylor (@pstaylor1412) reported

    @virginmedia shocking service !You want to change my elderly mother’s tv package which is far in excess of her needs and charge her extra for it. Fleecing oaps is not a good look after 20 years loyalty we will be cancelling.

  • LOCthedreamer2
    Luke O' Connor (@LOCthedreamer2) reported

    It's a scandal that these media companies spend your money in order to try and influence how you think. Virgin Media received 3 million euro worth of state grants from Coimisiún na Meain last year. They would never think of doing a documentary on how immigration has negatively impacted the economy or society, which is why it is so galling to see them propagandise the immigration scam in Ireland. #HowIrelandWorks

    Post-mortems are due to be carried out today on the bodies of five teenagers who died in a head-on collision on the M9 in Co Kildare in the early hours of yesterday morning. Gardaí say their car was driving the wrong way down the motorway when the crash happened. Three women and a 7-year-old boy, who were travelling in the second car, remain in hospital with critical and serious injuries. 📺 More on Virgin Media PLAY

    @IainSankey @virginmedia We left them years ago, nightmare. Had to explain to one of their agents what a postcode was...at that point I realised we had to part company. I have never regretted getting rid of them.

    @IainSankey @virginmedia I’m with @Hyperoptic who apart from one outage because of equipment failure have been very good. They are regional unfortunately and not universally available. Always good to shop around, especially with providers who supply synchronous fibre connections - eg download and upload speed the same.

    Sam Rees (@SamReesO) reported

    @Keiran_Mark @StephenP311275 @virginmedia Yeah I know but it doesn’t always work out that way. Especially when watching live sports like F1. They only give you highlights not the full programme. Actually just found out you can get SkyQ if you call them. But point is their customer care is no better than Virgin now.
