    @virginmedia Just,guide,apps,catch up,box sets, recordings. Usually it's down the bottom when a pay per is available within the week

  • John_B58 Blainzy (@John_B58) reported

    @virginmedia Hey @virginmedia how good is your service ? I did what you said and after 90 minutes on WhatsApp where no progress whatsoever was made you’ve told me to call you on the phone. Pathetic, truly pathetic.

  • GodwynnDexter Dark Fluid aka CESSPOOL (@GodwynnDexter) reported

    @virginmedia I wouldn't know if the pod is working or not, all I know is that my WiFi is still unstable as it was...

  • ChristopherDack Chris Dack (@ChristopherDack) reported

    @NathanHarrison9 @virginmedia Following this, just reported the same issue.

  • nofksgiven81 The man (@nofksgiven81) reported

    @virginmedia The ironic thing is it took until I had to leave where I actually spoke to someone English and could I understand my frustrations over the appalling service I’ve had for over 6 months, if I had been given this service then perhaps I wouldn’t have felt the need to leave

  • SomersetGay22 SomersetGay22 (@SomersetGay22) reported

    @LauraKnight2010 @virginmedia This is happening to hundreds of people, just spent an hour on the phone to sky and this issue is swamping their technical team. I suspect a wonky firmware update at 3am is to blame VM!

  • ChristopherDack Chris Dack (@ChristopherDack) reported

    @LauraKnight2010 @virginmedia Did you get any resolution on this? Facing the same issue

  • devonbusspotter Danny (@devonbusspotter) reported

    @virginmedia Has there been an outage in PL5?

  • JohnnyDude1983 🦔🦊Johnny1983 🦝🐱 (Big Animal Lover🐕🐶🐁) (@JohnnyDude1983) reported

    @virginmedia Hi. I've had many work orders raised . Which are all supposed to be fixed and resolved . I've even got complaints open. I did a manufacturer reset on my V6 box 2 week ago. So my hard drive is pretty much empty now . I can see that your engineers have tried to fix the issue .

  • johnpaul0001 Jp thompson (@johnpaul0001) reported

    @virginmedia Any fix??
