    @virginmedia We have been experiencing issues with our hub. We often lose connection and then the connection is not very strong at all when connected. This has been happening for a couple of weeks. Please advise further.

  • deghunter dianeG (@deghunter) reported from Brierfield, England

    @virginmedia trying to work from home with regular weekly loss of broadband isn’t a service, it’s a disgrace. Will be leaving

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia **** off Over £100 !a month for broadband that drops very 5 minutes ******* joke of a company

  • BobbyBattersby bobby (@BobbyBattersby) reported from Chorley, England

    @ITV gone down on @virginmedia

  • loftus2011 colin-loftus (@loftus2011) reported from Middleton, England

    @virginmedia your remotes and boxes are shit I need @SkyUK back

  • davejthorp The Strictly Spoiler (@davejthorp) reported from Preston, England

    @virginmedia Well it’s sorted. In 2 weeks time. Which is a bit poor that I have to wait 2 weeks for you to fix your error

  • Amandaajxx Amanda (@Amandaajxx) reported from Westhoughton, England

    @emmerrr_triciaa @virginmedia Everyone in my area has the same problem 😠

  • Pinkandwild MJ (@Pinkandwild) reported from Bolton, England

    In case you didn’t get it @Virgin @virginmedia I’ve #switched my #mobile, #broadband & #TV tomorrow but your pettiness has taken my service away already - don’t be sending me a ******* bill! #SameShitDifferentDay #ShitService

  • 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.

  • Amandaajxx Amanda (@Amandaajxx) reported from Westhoughton, England

    Everyone in westhoughton hasn’t had any service for a week now! @virginmedia I want compensation 😤😤😤😤

  • diygolf John Pennington (@diygolf) reported from Ramsbottom, England

    @MotoNutJob @virginmedia Should be that if your provider can’t fix the problem within 24hrs you should be allowed to terminate the contract at no cost to yourself & they must give you a Uk contact number because the Bombay warriors are F..kg useless at sorting a problem

  • woody0702 Steven Woodside (@woody0702) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia why does your broadband never work between 5am and 7:30am in #Farnworth Surely this a poor service as things are not never working... If there are works why does your website never update to say so

  • baabaa89 Victoria. 🐝 (@baabaa89) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia No issues and my box has no issues after running a test, but it still loses connection regularly.

  • 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

  • wilcock_steve steve wilcock (@wilcock_steve) reported from Rochdale, England

    @virginmedia Any news on when this service will be back up and running it’s now 12 days!!! #virginmediaisajoke #votewithyourfeet
