    @virginmedia And the sum total of welcome texts I received during my 7 night stay in Jamaica was 189. I never moved from the same hotel. I often got 4-8 texts whilst sat at the same restaurant table or in my room. @virginmedia get your act together

    @virginmedia Issues with all VM services in my area says expected fix by 4:40pm today.

  • _AdamGardiner
    Adam Gardiner 💙 (@_AdamGardiner) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia You’re not understanding. I do contact when the issue is happening, your advisor then fixes it, but it then happens again within 24 hours. I need a ‘once and for all’ fix. Not this whack a mole approach you’ve had so far.

  • Scarlet0Pimp
    Liam 🐀 (@Scarlet0Pimp) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia hello, can you please fix the broadband in the sk11 8aa area once and for all. It was down yesterday afternoon, just gone down today and down last week. Clearly there is some Faulty hardware that needs replacing. How can people work from home with broadband like this

  • tuite_liz
    Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia my internet has been down since Friday afternoon. I was told it would be fixed in 24 hours, the time has since changed and is currently at 8pm this evening. I work from home so need my internet back up and running before Monday morning. This is disgraceful

  • JoshuaBurns
    Josh B (@JoshuaBurns) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia on my second week of being a first time customer with you and my connection has been down for nearly 10 hours now. What’s going on?

  • rachaelstafford
    Rachael Stafford (@rachaelstafford) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia shocking service from you today, I booked an engineer visit for my mum supposed to come today between 12-4 nobody came she’s since called and been told it was a phone call not a visit but still nobody had called. She’s now got to wait till Tuesday for a visit 😠

  • _AdamGardiner
    Adam Gardiner 💙 (@_AdamGardiner) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia Will they help if the Wi-Fi is working at the time I call? Because my issue is that when it is working, your advisors consider their work done despite telling them that it usually doesn’t last. And invariable, it doesn’t.

  • SimpaticoGem
    Gemma ≅ (@SimpaticoGem) reported from Walkden, England

    Tell me why with my @virginmedia wifi and my @O2 phone contract, MY WIFI CUTS OUT CONSTANTLY AND I HAVE NO SOGNAL ANYWHERE I GO?! Thought being a customer of you both was supposed to reap massive benefits for me?

  • Woolfie30
    Howard Woolfenden (@Woolfie30) reported from Rochdale, England

    @virginmedia yet again my Internet isn't working. 18m on the old Internet and not one outage. now on the new and 'improved' service and yet another outage, so many outages already.... come on sort it out I'm paying good money for this......

  • tuite_liz
    Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia See thread above, nothing changes except the time of the estimated fix. It must be very localised as not everyone in my area is affected. So if it is damaged cables, I haven’t seen anyone out repairing them over the weekend, it’s a joke

  • SoloUtilitaRian
    UtilitaRian 🔶 (@SoloUtilitaRian) reported from Bolton, England

    With the intro of new dedicated Gigabit lines in my street I can't wait to switch over and leave Virgin Media for good. 3x internet has gone down this week and I just called VM. The systems there are down and gotta call back in 3hrs..... useless

  • MCR_ADM
    Adam🍺 (@MCR_ADM) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia No they’re helping. But it’s VERYYYY slow. But almost there.

  • johnjoeoregan
    JJ (@johnjoeoregan) reported from Manchester, England

    @stetopping Remember you did the piece late last year about Virgin Media Broadband being out for a day? It's now been down for six days in some parts of Manchester. Six full days and not a word from the company except automated messages.

  • CallyRaven
    Carol Rowles (@CallyRaven) reported from Westhoughton, England

    @virginmedia I seem to be the first one to report them, still saying intermittent problems in my area. Can't get to speak to anyone on phone, I rely on the Internet.

  • Laura_May_Ness
    Laura May (@Laura_May_Ness) reported from Manchester, England

    Hi @virginmedia I have just moved into a new apartment where Wi-Fi is included. I have registered as a resident and I have received a pre-contract email but no account number and I am unable to connect to the Internet. Can you help me set things up?

  • WCONNOLLY2512
    William Connolly (@WCONNOLLY2512) reported from Manchester, England

    @beverleyturner @virginmedia Virgin Media had gone ****. Poor broadband, crappie TV channels and half don't even work.

    Skysports app with virginmedia login hasn't been working today so having to old school "watch" via live updates here. HORRIBLE way to sit thru that 8mins!!

  • johnsonhomes2
    johnsonhomes (@johnsonhomes2) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia If that was the only issue than yes that would be the logical next step. But as you’ll see from the previous tweets and email sent on Wednesday it isn’t. All the issues need dealing with in the round or otherwise I’ll have to cancel and go back to sky.

    iplayer quality so bad watching the match. Like watching through water. Also, why can't I watch with @virginmedia app? Disappointing..

  • Si_67
    Si (@Si_67) reported

    @virginmedia Whenever I use your service checker, I get the message: "Intermittent signal in your area..." etc I go through the charade of checking the equipment (knowing it's not that) to get the stock message: "Don’t worry, we’re looking into this issue..."etc. This is all the time now.

  • hollypolls
    Sammi Todd (@hollypolls) reported

    @virginmedia how many times do we have to suffer loss of internet before you actually do something proactive & sort it? Fed up of paying for such a poor service, promised reimbursements which never happen & being fobbed off by your team every time to power off and reset the hub

    Elaine Walsh (@mabaker_moz) reported

    @virginmedia this is the third time this has happened in the last couple of weeks. And 2 days in a row. When is estimated restoration time ? When you check service checker in line it says no issues but I called and it was confirmed

    @virginmedia If you want to buy something VM people will try to sell you something they want to sell. Is this called customer support?

    Dr Allyson Edwards 👻 (@AllysonEdwards1) reported

    Having consistent problems with my @virginmedia broadband, & have just had the update that they hope to resolve the problem by Tuesday... I work from home, so how will it work to not have access to the internet for the next 2-3 days? I'm having to hotspot my pc.
