    @virginmedia I did and it said the service was ok. It’s now working after several times of going onto Amazon. I just don’t know why the service has become so poor recently

  • PJacksonClark

    @virginmedia I've covered all the options; there aren't many. It tells me there are no problems in my area and then defaults to the bot chat.

    @virginmedia Hi, the VMGo app is telling me I need to upgrade to watch live tv but I’ve got the right package to have access and have until today watched live via the app. Is there an issue? Tried restarting it etc.

    @virginmedia Is there an outage in SW4? I checked the online status on your webpage, but it says there are no issues and yet I do not have internet at home.

  • Boubs1985

    Aint it funny how my Internet was good as gold until @virginmedia tried to convince me to upgrade. Now its absolutely terrible 🙄

  • macon1375
    Mark Connolly (@macon1375) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia They advise they would send a signal to router, I then turn off after 5 mins, for 10 mins and when back on all will be working! Well it didn’t make a difference and my speed test shows my downloads dropped from 236mbs to 36. The issue is uploads tho at 0.5mbps. On hold again!

    Absolute nightmare with @virginmedia arranging new package. Since agreeing package deal yesterday I've received FOUR different emails telling me I'm gonna be paying four different amounts, all higher than what was agreed. Absolutely terrible customer service and real headache

  • nicktippett
    Nick Tippett (@nicktippett) reported from Croydon, England

    @virginmedia Might I add that the last handler in pre install stated he was a 'senior' and he was incredibly rude, talking over me and trying to tell me what my problem was!

  • ferdi_rezvan
    Ferdi Rezvan (@ferdi_rezvan) reported from Blackheath, England

    Your website for checking status is not loading. Can you verify if there are known issues with broadband in the se3 area. Thanks @virginmedia

  • Phil_Swallow
    Philip 🦅 (@Phil_Swallow) reported from Croydon, England

    There’s a new Hitron Chita paperweight from @vmbusiness @vmbusinesshelp - it’s expensive but the only thing it can do without going out of service every few minutes

  • rtkosha

    @IainSankey @virginmedia There's no reward for customer loyalty these days. One's reward for staying with the same company for years is to be treated as a mug!

    @virginmedia why is the sky sorts streaming service not working?

  • 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 😞

  • andy_nicks60
    Andy Nicholls 🫧⚒️✝️ (@andy_nicks60) reported

    So @virginmedia after 15 years as a customer for broadband don’t deem you worthy of a recordable 360 box if you want to use them as a sole provider instead of Sky and only offer a streaming box that won’t work if your internet goes down. #AwfulCustomerService #Sky

  • Scottiger22
    Scott (@Scottiger22) reported

    @RobNoonan007 @virginmedia Sky sports app should be available on firstick / smart TV it's a joke . Better off with i.p ..t... v then actually paying for the real service.

    @virginmedia first day of the football season and red button not working…..brilliant I hope I’m going to get some kind of refund?

  • BarneeEb
    Edward Barnett (@BarneeEb) reported

    @virginmedia have you now sorted the problem or will the next game be the same? We're paying for a service you're not providing. I assume you'll be compensating accordingly. 2 games, 2 failures. #useless

  • DuggyStand
    Just D. (@DuggyStand) reported

    Nice to see @virginmedia issues with @SkySports + are still not resolved. Absolutely useless... Hope you are gonna knock some money off my bill.
