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

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

    @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.

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

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

    @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?

  • MATTYB00SH 𝕄𝔸𝕋𝕋𝕐𝔹𝕆𝕆𝕊ℍ (@MATTYB00SH) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia Yes it works on my phone browser, but not on laptop, so I'll just continue using that method, thanks. One more question; Why do your customer support agents ask for a security password that I use when speaking to an agent, despite being a new customer and haven't set this up yet

  • hossfitt Paul Cartwright (@hossfitt) reported from Keighley, England

    @virginmedia Waiting on an engineer now, none available until Saturday pm. That will be over 3 days without any service.

  • 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

    @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!

  • 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. 😡

  • LovecloughKev Kevin Kitten (@LovecloughKev) reported from Rawtenstall, England

  • themackney Richard Mackney (@themackney) reported

    @virginmedia Hello. All our services are down. And my neighbours too. Can you tell me what the problem is in the KT6 area?

  • Charles11522381 Charles (@Charles11522381) reported

    @virginmedia I got banned from your forums for repeatedly posting poor speed results. Making other customers aware of your lies of fixing a problem gets you nabbed from a virgin forum. Please leave me alone now I have been insulted and ridiculed enough by your customer services.

  • ElizabethPsychs Elizabeth H (@ElizabethPsychs) reported

    @virginmedia Terrible customer service virgin! Trying to cancel - hung up on 3 times and then told you can't cancel it anyway. Shocking.

  • dvjj Di D (@dvjj) reported

    @virginmedia There were 6 people in different houses that I know in Waterloo, Bermondsey and London Bridge all talking to each other and experiencing the issues still. FGS put your hands up in the air and say, "We told people it was fixed a little early...it was near to fix we jumped the gun!

  • Blod_wen Anna Hill 🐧 (@Blod_wen) reported

    @virginmedia Ok, I've just tried to ring the faults team on the number you provided, and now I'm getting an automated message to say that my password is wrong.... Please can you help?

  • gilliblogs Gill Lysons (@gilliblogs) reported from Newton-le-Willows, England

    @yicker @virginmedia Had the same thing when my Gran was poorly, trying to explain to HMRC why they couldn’t visit her for an assessment - eventually I had to say “look, she’s dying” Bloody awful . Hope you’re ok xxx

  • starshinehwahwa Star ♡ 성화 ♡ 민기 (@starshinehwahwa) reported

    @virginmedia I was on the phone with your customer service agent and said nothing could be done, and said they would call back with a solution and i’ve heard nothing since
