  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • ScottShaqNelson Scott Nelson (@ScottShaqNelson) reported from Keighley, 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

  • 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!

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

    Just bought Rocketman from @virginmedia don’t waste your money. It won’t play or even open £13.99 wasted... #crap #rubbish #terrible

  • 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.

  • dazzle961 andrew day (@dazzle961) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia I haven't been able to sign in to my Virginia media for years so complete waste of time Time to sack you lot off

  • 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.

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

    @SkyHelpTeam @SkyUK @virginmedia are quick enough to take your money but not so quick to help out when things go wrong...

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • HStricklandSLT Holly Strickland (@HStricklandSLT) reported

    @virginmedia horrendous experience significantly adding to house move stress: engineer due 24/8, no show due to system error. HOURS on phone, no acceptable solution provided, rude staff. Promised call from manager 24 hours ago, still waiting - 3rd time call back not made. Angry!

  • greylines101 Dave Cheevers (@greylines101) reported

    @PrivacyMatters @MissIG_Geek @virginmedia They've been awful since they were Cablelink, UPC, Chorus, and whatever else they've been called.

  • JStuartRidyard J Stuart Ridyard (@JStuartRidyard) reported

    @virginmedia None of this is the point. The point is your second tier support NEVER calls back. Can you get them to actually respond to support tickets. 5th SLA guaranteed deadline passed yesterday...

  • Zipadedodaaah KJ (@Zipadedodaaah) reported

    @virginmedia I've just realised you've replied to me on someone else's post. I wrote a post on my own feed & automatically assumed your reply was to that. This thread is @KirkbyScouser issue and you've ignored them.

  • anthonyjpierce Anthony Pierce (@anthonyjpierce) reported

    @virginmedia is there anyone answering the phone today? Potential new customer but can’t get through!!

  • catticusrex49 stella ❤️💜💙 she/her (@catticusrex49) reported

    @virginmedia @PeterOT61186407 Do you know where your team of engineers actually is? Can you tell us what the problem is they've been sent to fix, where the problem is located, etc? This generic information is not helpful

  • DJMykz_ StarBoy (@DJMykz_) reported

    Virgin media is the worst internet provider in the world

  • KirkbyScouser *KirkbyRedScouser⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (@KirkbyScouser) reported

    @virginmedia The wifi signal upstairs in one room and one room only is fine but it’s the other two bedrooms and kitchen where the wifi signal hits black-spots and is none existent and as you can appreciate it’s very frustrating for the family.

  • dumplondon Dump London (@dumplondon) reported

    @virginmedia Yes. It’s related to that. I saw your engineer fixing something, he said it needs a new power supply and will be up and running in 5 mins. That an hour ago. Still no internet. I went through all this crap in December, it lasted three months. And here we are again

  • PeterOT61186407 Starmer’s Chocolate Teapot Party 🇵🇸 (@PeterOT61186407) reported

    @virginmedia With the greatest respect are you a real person or a bot? How can it state the same estimated time as last night when we’ve now moved on 14hrs (8:30pm 24/08/22) since that estimated time. All it says is, there is a problem and they’re working to fix it.
