  • salfordbeerfest
    Independent Salford Beer Festival 💙 (@salfordbeerfest) reported from Bolton, England

    @johntweedie @frednfrank @virginmedia It may be 30 years old. Strangely, with BT (Cable), Sky (wired), never had issues.

    Who in their right mind schedules planned maintenance for a Monday morning and says it could go on until three pm? Oh yeah, @virginmedia - cracking service as always #workfromhome #muppets

  • wightpie
    Wightpie (@wightpie) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia So why then a) does it specify postal and b) not provide a field for mobile number. At best it’s misleading and at worst incompetent

  • LawAspi
    TheAspiLawStudent (@LawAspi) reported from Chorley, England

    @virginmedia LS, I have and do regularly when ever it seems slow. It varies from 12mbps download to a maximum of 110mbps. However the monthly average is under 60mbps. Which falls well short of my guaranteed speed.

  • fos100
    Richard Foster (@fos100) reported from New Longton, England

    @virginmedia It’s an ongoing issue and an engineer is due out on Thursday but today the internet decided it didn’t want to work on my laptop

  • pillbo01
    kevin.james (@pillbo01) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia That number is a automated response not a customer service agent and an utter waste of time

  • LiamKenniford
    Liam Kenniford (@LiamKenniford) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia are you having problems in BB10 area?? Can’t get any internet access

  • emmafc87
    Emma Caulfield (@emmafc87) reported from Middleton, England

    @virginmedia been with you less than a week and our Internet has gone down more in that time than it has done the last 4 years with our previous provider!!!! If this carries on we will need to cancel 🤬

  • LeylandDavid
    David Gardner (@LeylandDavid) reported from Leyland, England

    @virginmedia How many more times, the landline is NOT working (no dial tone).

  • GailCharnock
    Gail Charnock (@GailCharnock) reported from Shevington, England

    @virginmedia You are aware of the problem, told us it's a fault and it's being fixed by 12th April, it wasn't, we rang, you gave us reassurance it will be fixed by the 22nd, it hasn't, we rang got passed around a lot! Now you say it will be fixed 29th. Hands up if you would put up with this?

  • Christerphurr
    Chris Mann (@Christerphurr) reported from Preston, England

    @virginmedia our broadband is down, any idea when this will be back up?

  • LeylandDavid
    David Gardner (@LeylandDavid) reported from Leyland, England

    @virginmedia No updated fix time, as it shows all services as green, and can't detect a problem. It asks us to phone you on 151 to do a little more "digging", but the phone line is DOWN. Oh, and the chatbot doesn't deal with landline issues apparently. Now what???

  • 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?? 😡

  • Elisabet0490
    🪷Elisabet🪷 (@Elisabet0490) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia my internet has been suffering drop outs all day, now I have no working TV or internet. Being told it's my equipment when it never is, it's getting old that excuse. I will apparently have to wait 3 days for "an engineer to come out" - I can't I have to go to work 😤

  • BooCavapoo
    BooCavapoo 🐶 (@BooCavapoo) reported from Penwortham, England

    @virginmedia No, that's not possible as the yoga device does not have wired port. The WiFi just needs sorting out. Its been terrible for weeks @virginmedia

  • wightpie
    Wightpie (@wightpie) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia Also given that link is for postal marketing how exactly does that help with phone calls? As it stands your systems are non-compliant

  • 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

  • FloButcher84
    strange little Flo (@FloButcher84) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia still no broadband in bb3 area since Thurs & update now says tomorrow for fix. Shocking customer service, why can't you tell your customers what is happening instead of saying an engineer is on the way on the updates, at least then we would know what to expect

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

    @virginmedia And our Internet is down again this morning! So because its intermittent we don't get compensation, tried to call, can't get through (have to do it on mobile, our 'landline' is now internet reliant!)

  • stevelthompsom
    Steve Thompson (@stevelthompsom) reported from Preston, England

    @virginmedia new customer trying to register on your media app always comes up with an error code!!!! Not a great start......may cancel if this is how you roll ??

    The mother of a 9-year-old seriously injured in an e-scooter incident says the consequences of these crashes can be life-changing. Her son was hit by a 15-year-old while on his way home in Leixlip last summer and, a year on, is still walking with a limp. Hear from her on the News at 5.30pm. 📺 More on Virgin Media PLAY and Virgin Media One.
