  • LaurenceBoom Laurence (@LaurenceBoom) reported from Colne, England

    @virginmedia for the past 2-3 weeks I have had issues with on demand content, and the broadband. When I try to play a sky cinema film, the audio plays; but no picture. BBC iplayer is the same! The router is next to the virgin box, so dont understand what is going on.

  • IanCardy2 Ian Cardy (@IanCardy2) reported from Rawtenstall, England

    Service from @virginmedia is disgusting for existing customers! Dial 150 hold for 20mins someone answers but can hardly speak English then hang up when I ask for a new deal #customerservice try calling back & it’s busy so “sorry can’t help today call tomorrow 8am some of us work!

  • SallyOdonnell Sally O'Donnell (@SallyOdonnell) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia Hi thank you however a good start would be you to know your client base. Some of us are just not tech savvy and being talked to like an idiot is not the way to win hearts and minds let alone customer loyalty. Felt very undermined and very disappointed.

  • dejkirkby 'Motivated And Confident' Mags (@dejkirkby) reported from Burnley, England

    @WilfSauce @WrestlingJebus @Archiebald_C I have Virgin Media, so haven't had to use TVPlayer personally, but I know of people who have and it's worked perfectly fine. I believe there is a rolling contract for the service of £6.99 after the event so make sure you cancel afterwards.

  • liquidborn liquidBorn (@liquidborn) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia broadband has just gone down in BB12, I work completely from home so this is extremely frustrating for me. Please help. Router has been restarted twice.

  • nobby1979 Nobby (@nobby1979) reported from Keighley, England

    @virginmedia There seems to be a problem in the bd10 area that's effect the TV and internet when your engineerds are fixing the problem or so the automated voice saying but this has been going on since Friday

  • deghunter dianeG (@deghunter) reported from Brierfield, England

    @virginmedia trying to work from home with regular weekly loss of broadband isn’t a service, it’s a disgrace. Will be leaving

  • seanyseanysaeny Flying Officer O’Connor🇬🇧 (@seanyseanysaeny) reported from Silsden, England

    @virginmedia Yes, it’s rubbish. The service you provide is really poor. All you ever get told to do is switch of and reboot. Never works.

  • jademelia99 Jade (@jademelia99) reported from Cowling, England

    Trying to cancel my @virginmedia contract yet no one will answer the phone or the online chat service. Such bad customer service

  • dejkirkby 'Motivated And Confident' Mags (@dejkirkby) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia @btsport as a VM customer with the BT Sport add-on, can you explain to me the idea behind having the only reason I have the BT Sport add-on, UFC, having major events locked behind a secondary paywall and then still increasing the package cost. Not only double

  • Marsoma Marsoma (@Marsoma) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia Had no internet and TV service for over 24hrs now, can’t get through on the phone and it says the broadband issues are sorted on the service check online...it isn’t.

  • Marsoma Marsoma (@Marsoma) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia Yes I’ve done all that. There was an issue in the post code but it says it’s sorted now, but it’s not. Still nothing at all!

  • maggiehtfcmay M (@maggiehtfcmay) reported from Sowerby Bridge, England

    @virginmedia problems with my router and your tech help told me the cables must have come loose. I didn’t touch or move the router or the cables and your help got it back on by telling me that me tightening it resolved it. I never touched it. can’t you admit the router is faulty

  • seanyseanysaeny Flying Officer O’Connor🇬🇧 (@seanyseanysaeny) reported from Silsden, England

  • Satchi1 Heather Bennett (@Satchi1) reported

    @virginmedia There's apparently no issue with my service but watching Nicola surgeons announcement and I 's buffer like no one's business! This isn't good enough for the price I pay each month.

  • NedBarker6 Ned Barker (@NedBarker6) reported

    @virginmedia internet is down is South London and had no messages to explain why or for how long. What’s going on? What is your SLA for being the worst service provider in British telecoms history?

  • PremiereStrings Premiere Strings (@PremiereStrings) reported

    @virginmedia Spoke to customer services who told me I would not be charged. I have been, every month.

  • Robert1988UK Robert H Mullarkey (@Robert1988UK) reported

    @virginmedia Engineers came out abd because of how this mornings engineers came out they can't do the job so need to come back tonorrow. So I'd like to formally raise a complaint and want compensation for 7days internet outage/ 2 failed visits and loss of earnings for 5 days

  • Carlhopkins Carl Hopkins (@Carlhopkins) reported

    @virginmedia I booked a slot on your site for an engineer. But no one shows up. Just the usual customer service levels I have come up expect from #virginmedia

  • benrobart 「Ben Ⓥ」 (@benrobart) reported

    @virginmedia Right, so I'll put my life on hold for another 2 hours to get hung up on before I get to speak to someone shall I? Ridiculous. I think I'll just stop paying my bill and go elsewhere if you're not going to offer an actual resolution 🙃

  • dannyttt2011 Danny (@dannyttt2011) reported

    @virginmedia No known issue

  • SaintlyChild 🇪🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Alan Stewart🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺 (@SaintlyChild) reported

    @virginmedia Done all that. No issues in the area need an engineer out but can’t get in contact with anyone.

  • Cironni Ciarán Hanway 🇪🇺🖤 (@Cironni) reported

    @LindonInLondon @virginmedia I've noticed the service checker always says no fault initially - then much later confesses to one.

  • LindonInLondon Patrick (@LindonInLondon) reported

    @virginmedia Tried it and said no faults while my internet was down. Called your number and it ran through the checks saying not fault. Yet flashing lights and no internet seems like a fault to me
