    @virginmedia There’s absolutely nothing wrong with the phone, I can travel to different areas and get 4 bars on my phone and it works no problem, the problem is in the area I live.The reception always used to be fine but for quite some time now it’s been awful, I currently have one bar.

  • ianlumsden Ian Lumsden (@ianlumsden) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia I have been trying to get through to customer service for the past two days, the call is usually immediately rejected or I am told the call waiting time is an hour. I have had enough and as soon as I get through I am cancelling my account. 😡

    @virginmedia Thanks for fixing it this morning, I trust given I’d no service for circa 36hrs I’ll see a credit upon my next bill?

    @virginmedia No one has offered a resolution. I have the same conversation time & again.... “I have reset your router”

  • jaswinburne1 James Swinburne (@jaswinburne1) reported from Silsden, England

    @virginmedia It’s technical issues with the broadband and network stability issues. No one wants to help, I’ve spoken to 3 technicians and no one has offered a resolution. Joke

  • matt_stanny Matthew Stansfield (@matt_stanny) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia It says not on there but when I call the support number there is a recorded message saying there is an issue and engineers are working on it.....been same all week.

    @neilayates @virginmedia I believe they were the "3rd Party" that also caused the Microsoft 365 outage which killed our session yesterday!

  • Shigufta1 Shigufta khan (@Shigufta1) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia Problems with my TV very frustrating not being able to speak to anyone. For a communication provider the service being offered is not acceptable

  • suziealderton #hellomynameisSuzie (@suziealderton) reported from Silsden, England

    @virginmedia absolutely rubbish service since we left @skytv and went over to you. Tv/broadband/phone off again on the whole of our estate-not much help to people working from home. Wont be renewing our contract with you, and will be checking how soon we can cancel!

  • lamsom Dave Gracey (@lamsom) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia Your mobile network is crap & your customer service is just as bad.

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

    @virginmedia are you down in Liverpool??? *full disclosure* I’ve not had any problems at all for well over 2-3 years with your service, I got a phone call about a week ago now.... going through all that “what we can do for you as you’ve been a customer for a long time” stuff 1/2.

  • markdwelsh Mark Welsh (@markdwelsh) reported from Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown, Leinster

    @mickln91 They were on RTE. The Europa League semi finals nor being on terrestrial TV were more of a problem (as an Eir subscriber who had Virgin Media Sports removed from my channel list before Utd got beaten the other night).

  • robbuhler 尺ㄖ乃 (@robbuhler) reported from Norwich, England

    @virginmedia evening, we have phoned once today re; activating WiFi hub, however it’s flashed all day. We reset but still flashing hours later, and now can’t get through on phone to activate new WiFi box. Any help at all? Been on hold for an hour now, no WiFi for 2 days.

  • pfrench711 Paul French (@pfrench711) reported from Swindon, England

    @virginmedia we are moving house next week and you don’t provide service at our new address. Impossible to contact you to end contract via website or phone. Please get in touch ASAP. Only option at the moment is to cancel DD

  • CraigFamilyBlog Hayley Craig (@CraigFamilyBlog) reported from St Albans, England

    I’ve literally had no mobile service all day! @virginmedia sort it out. It’s made me feel anxious all day, as I could go into labour at any point! And no... before you say it, it’s not just my phone. It’s the whole area 😔

  • heaton2111 John Heaton (@heaton2111) reported from Wakefield, England
