    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!!

  • Miniboom2

    Ah @virginmedia with this up and down service today you are really spoiling us!

  • 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.

  • roslers_vest
    Scott Moseley (@roslers_vest) reported from Rochdale, England

    @virginmedia network down again in Heywood appalling lack of service yet again

  • HollowayAlec
    Alec Holloway (@HollowayAlec) reported from Stretford, England

    @virginmedia is unbelievable that our Internet is so poor, trying to contact someone via phone on numerous occasions waiting for over 45 minutes to speak with someone. Still haven't been able to get through to anyone.

    Smyth Harper 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇺🇦☘️ (@sharper76) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia No it’s not, and it has now transpired that your customer services agent told me a direct lie that there was a fault in my area when there is not. Someone else has now booked an engineer to come out - next Wednesday. I can’t even have my heating on as that’s controlled vía wifi

    @virginmedia No point, there is a problem but it shows there aren't any issues in the area.

  • ChrisFoxRacing
    Christopher Fox (@ChrisFoxRacing) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Already reported the broadband issues, and it's an issue where estimated fix times keep getting pushed back. With regards to mobile issues, this has been around the same length of time. The only way I've been able to get any connection at all is by switching to 3G

  • nathantalbot
    Nathan Talbot (@nathantalbot) reported from Urmston, England

    (Test) Is anyone experiencing a virgin media Internet outage in M6?

  • twiddlemeister
    Definitely not Elon Musk (@twiddlemeister) reported from Cheadle Hulme, England

    Probably consider an unlimited tariff at some point to make up for when Virgin Media goes down.

    @MartinSLewis I'm not sure if you can help me but here goes , in August I ended my contract with @virginmedia & to cut a long story short they still owe me £87 .+ They sent me a cheque in my maiden name so I returned it with a second copy of my marriage cert same as in 2015 1.

  • roslers_vest
    Scott Moseley (@roslers_vest) reported from Rochdale, England

    @virginmedia well the woeful service in Heywood continues after “fixing” the fault this morning which resulted in me being unable to work from home the network has dropped again this evening absolutely shocking service

  • mark001282
    Mark Armstrong (@mark001282) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia you have caused me nothing but hassle for months now. Your customer service team are completely useless.

  • _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.

  • nathantalbot
    Nathan Talbot (@nathantalbot) reported from Salford, England

    Is anyone experiencing a Virgin Media outage in M6 currently? Fibre Broadband is struggling to connect

  • jimmysteamboat
    jimmy (@jimmysteamboat) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Can you confirm if service is down in the M4 Manchester postcode? Us and Neighbours wifi not working when we are WFH!

  • GreenwasBlue
    GreenWasBlue (@GreenwasBlue) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia I've tried the online help to no avail.Just going round in circles. How do I get to book a visit by a human being?? 😡

  • thechilledpanda
    Mike Chilton (@thechilledpanda) reported from Bramhall, England

    @virginmedia Unbelievable, you've sent me a dongle to connect a landline too the broadband on the 6th , so the phone line isnt going to work, though not much help on 150 as they abruptly cut you off. Website is also down.

  • ErHes1997
    Emily (@ErHes1997) reported from Timperley, England

    How can @virginmedia say "yes there's a problem in your area, we expect it to be fixed on Wednesday"... 5 days is a joke when you'll never see that money returned to you for lack of service provided

  • Edeaulx
    Adrian Weale (@Edeaulx) reported

    Hey @VirginMedia, does an incomprehensible email and one desultory telephone call when I wasn't at home and therefore not in a position to answer the 'security' questions constitute your only effort to resolve my complaint reference C-1907261424?

  • abz_06
    Abbie (@abz_06) reported

    @virginmedia you have left my 71 year old mother without internet and TV since 18th July due to a “problem in the area” and now you’re saying it won’t be fixed until 31st July? Two whole weeks you’ve left an elderly person completely isolated with no form of entertainment.

  • Si_Vargeson
    Simon Vargeson (@Si_Vargeson) reported

    @virginmedia is it usual practice to delay installations without communicating to your new customers? You’ve currently missed 2 instal dates and no comms to let me know to avoid waiting at home for your arrival…. Customer service seem to be unable to provide any detail too😡

  • Quinny1808
    Ken Quinn (@Quinny1808) reported

    @trapdoor456 @virginmedia I have had You Fibre for 2 1/2 years and had no issues

    @trapdoor456 @virginmedia I tried, after 3 months of bullshit, it was brought into my house behind my fryer as this was and i quote ' the only place it can go' They may have sorted themselves out by now but I have heard mixed reviews so make sure to have the option to cancel

  • harryvek
    Horatio Bullwinkle (@harryvek) reported

    @virginmedia Why do your customer services call me every day when I've told them I'm not interested in taking any more services than I already have. Just today I took a call and told them to stop calling me, no one answered on the other side and then just hung up, how rude !!!.

  • Kurt_Bimpson
    (@Kurt_Bimpson) reported

    @DeviateDefiant @virginmedia @MoneySupermkt Virgin are dreadful and by far have the worst customer service I have ever experienced A genuinely awful company

  • ShhrMor
    Shahar Mor (@ShhrMor) reported

    @Rugby_Scoop @virginmedia TBH, I'm not sure what POM wants. Would he rather the ref penalized the Irish for these "minor" breakdown infringements? His "coaching" actually helped Ireland slow the ball down without being penalized. Not to mention at least 3 yellows that were not given to them...

  • Shifty_
    Shifty (@Shifty_) reported

    @DeviateDefiant @MoneySupermkt Welcome to Virgin Media, in this house was the same been with them since NTL days and still had better deals for new customers over there loyal paying customers so we switched to Sky. i have to say from my experience had 0 issues.

  • GrahamCompton
    🇬🇧🔥 FIRE is awesome 😎 (@GrahamCompton) reported

    @CompoundingISA @MartinSLewis @ao Such short sighted customer service experience. I's like dealing with Virgin Media 10 years ago. I had to tell them 2-3 times that yes, I really did want to cancel. Thankfully, I was only on hold for a few minutes.
