    Anyone else have a problem with All4 app on @virginmedia Can access the menu / home page but anytime I try to actually watch a programme I get a black screen & 4 dots endlessly blinking, as if buffering, but the show never, eeeevveerrr appears... On Googling, seems common issue?

  • clowee Chloe Hipwood (@clowee) reported from Haverhill, England

    Fancy doing anything about shockingly slow broadband speeds in some rural Tier 4 areas? Video chat for elderly residents in these areas during Christmas should be a given not a luck. @bt_uk @virginmedia @SkyUK . #loneliness #tier4 #christmascancelled

    Great time for my internet to go down again. Third time this week @virginmedia #colu

  • steevXIII Steve Tovey (@steevXIII) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia Hi. Please read the thread. One App doesn't work properly, my TV box is generally fine. From a quick Google I can see it is a problem for other people with Virgin Media TiVo boxes too where the @All4 app doesn't load programmes. I can access the app and all the menu screens.

  • 2FingersRampant 2 Fingers Rampant (@2FingersRampant) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia service completely out at CO2 8QA and local area. Status page says all ok, so can you explain this please. Urgent work priority.

  • robinsontonyLIR be kind and be nice. (@robinsontonyLIR) reported from Colchester, England

    @InTheseHeels Have you tried turning it on and off again? .....OK in all seriousness it happens to me on my LAN . I concluded as I'm on a domestic connection, Virgin Media , I suspect they refresh the network to loose dormant connections periodically and I get booted off for a few secs

  • gunsmoke70 Richard Martin (@gunsmoke70) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia what’s the issue with the service in colchester CO2 area

  • theresahiggins Theresa Higgins (@theresahiggins) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia how long will it take to fix my internet connection. CO1 area. Main problem is a slow speed for emails.

  • kennythekilt kenny wilson (@kennythekilt) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia Not worth it if you cared it would have been dealt with I will leave and tell everyone and anyone to avoid your NOT customer caring company

  • Griggsy1968 Mark Griggs (@Griggsy1968) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia So, 3 phone calls over 50 mins all cut off! All I wanted to do was pay off a handset and upgrade a contract. Customer service 0/10!

  • leipperm m (@leipperm) reported from Braintree, England

    It's annoying that @virginmedia customer service refused to acknowledge this other persons details had some how been linked to my email with my bank account on their account.

  • theresahiggins Theresa Higgins (@theresahiggins) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia I am not the only one in my area with a problem. Any idea when it will be resolved.

    @virginmedia @deantorris Why you guys don't have call back service?

    @virginmedia Your staff should put the customer first pass the enquiry to another team member take break late or offer a call back

  • Leonara99550659 Leonara (@Leonara99550659) reported

    @virginmedia @theblackpanther Never ever use virgin Media. They are utterly hopeless at customer service. I have won one case against them and now preparing another for their sheer stupidity. Don’t ever use them for phones or broadband etc. You’ll end up regretting it.
