    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?

  • MattHolbrook86 Matt Holbrook Golf (@MattHolbrook86) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @virginmedia My Internet is down again. In fact I spend more time without it than I do with it these days. Thoughts?

  • RedWrenStudios Red Wren Studios (@RedWrenStudios) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @virginmedia @virginhelp We upgraded our package and were told a new sim would be with us in 3 days then we may lose service for 10 minutes. However we have been without phone service for 2 days now 😔

    @virginmedia I've been having this issue continuously for a couple of months and they are still continuing. Yes.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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!

  • liam_garwood grwd 🦅 (@liam_garwood) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @virginmedia why is it so hard to get in contact with you? I can’t start a live chat and when I ring and think I’m getting some progress you tell me to look online and hang up????

  • 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.

  • rachelfortnum Rachel Fortnum-Adams (@rachelfortnum) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @virginmedia since Christmas our WiFi has been disgustingly bad. A few weeks ago I called yourselves and spent almost 2 hours on the phone. I upgraded our WiFi at home to the best possible WiFi we could have and yet it’s still shockingly bad. I’ve never known such shoddy service

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

    @7pudinis @virginmedia Was signal issue that originated from the Initial install yrs ago, bent wire in outside box, I guess over the yrs degraded till no signal, all fixed now

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

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

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

    @virginmedia Nope didn’t hear back from them I wasn’t wasting my time and your poor customer service

  • Ipswichpests Control Solutions (@Ipswichpests) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @virginmedia you really need to sort this problem out in ip1 area its been going on for weeks coming to the point where people will cancel there contacts due to poor service.

  • MattHolbrook86 Matt Holbrook Golf (@MattHolbrook86) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @virginmedia Come on.......I'm on this page about 3 times a week. Its ridiculous the amount you charge for such a shabby service

  • QuintonAndy Andy Quinton (@QuintonAndy) reported from Sproughton, England

    @virginmedia what a truly awful service. 3hours to try and sort a confirm username error,..from you! 7 days I’ve waited for you to sort the email out. Numerous calls...and still no one actually listens or cares. I think I’ve explained it to most of your call centre still no help

    @virginmedia 8-1. I got a text saying if your internet is working please cancel your engineer, but it's intermittent dropouts?

  • AquaXT_ 🔰Hamza (@AquaXT_) reported

    @virginmedia @Reaktor4P Fix pablo’s internet before our match or we’re having words.

  • 55andcounting55 No free speech on here (@55andcounting55) reported

    @virginmedia Was trying to change my package but I've had enough. Same problems, same excuses every year. Your customer service is pathetic and deliberately difficult.

  • IKBarberShop Israel Keys Barber Shop (@IKBarberShop) reported

    @virginmedia You can provide me an email you will personally monitor to send my details. Id even be happy to provide you with a phone number to call me on... IF you're willing to TRULY help me resolve this as opposed to sending me standard wording tweets...

  • Paulatthehollow Paul Briggs (@Paulatthehollow) reported

    @virginmedia Sure, guess that is what I will have to do. I hope if you take your car in for a service the garage charge you and then give you a can of oil and filter and tell you to do it yourself like you are telling me to. The terrible days of NTL spring to mind

  • Haarrryyyyyy_ Harry (@Haarrryyyyyy_) reported
