    @virginmedia Both those lights should be green. Any red lights mean there is a network fault either on a cable or on the box to which the cable screws into. Now please tell me, what is so difficult to send someone out to investigate that??

  • NobbyD27

    @syeporter180 @virginmedia Cancel the contract and go to Sky

    @virginmedia I'm now waiting on a call from the retentions department (I missed one earlier)! I know exactly what they will say because I've spoken to them on a number of occasions...they will offer me a new contract & raise a complaint about the messing about you've given me!!!

    @rwilliams1947 @virginmedia It seems VM are also messing up landlines too. They now need to connect the phone cable to the Wi-Fi hub . Which means lots of trouble in my house and many other properties across the UK. And good luck with trying to discontinue their contract - they make it very difficult.

  • BackOnTrack__
    Right Direction (@BackOnTrack__) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia still waiting since 7.30 am for the engineer to come to sort out the problems we are having, he’s 25 minutes to get here ( we were given 7.30-13 slot) still no tv since Thursday!

    @virginmedia @O2 Why is your Hotspot so poor? Never connects!

  • andylance1977
    andy lanyon (@andylance1977) reported from Newport, Wales

    @virginmedia is it normal practice when a call is made to you about problems with the tivo box (3rd time this year) that you're then on a call for over an hr at at the end of it promised an upgrade, go thro all the protocols only to be told actually you can't have that

  • blue_murdock

    @virginmedia … is there network cover problem here cardiff now?

  • SATempest
    Sam Tempest (@SATempest) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Can I just ask why it is that you can respond within minutes on social media (where the public can see your actions) but then in private you are ignoring your customers and taking three weeks to deal with issues? If you have agents manning twitter why can’t you pick up the phone?

  • welsh1lad
    Rob Weaver (@welsh1lad) reported from Barry, Wales

    @virginmedia Iv had my email account for 20 years + now with no issues till yesterday

  • SATempest
    Sam Tempest (@SATempest) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @OldSparky6 @virginmedia I’m never going with them again. Genuinely don’t know how they are still a company that is allowed to operate when the customer service is this bad!

  • SewScandalous
    Katieeeeeeeeeeeee 👻 (@SewScandalous) reported from Newport, Wales

    Oh, maybe not. Even though the website says no problem, there is a problem with the broadband round here 🙄 @virginmedia

    @virginmedia Having serious disconnection issues with my WiFi (CF24) - is there anything that can be done? Can you help? WFH this week has been painful

    @virginmedia what’s wrong with your virgin media tv? Did an ‘update’ and now every time I turn on the tv it loads into TiVo and I have to go back to Virgin again. And now your red button for Sky sports doesn’t work. Tell me how to fix these issues, they’re maddening.

  • DuggyStand
    Just D. (@DuggyStand) reported

    Nice to see @virginmedia issues with @SkySports + are still not resolved. Absolutely useless... Hope you are gonna knock some money off my bill.

  • John_L_Bird
    John Bird (@John_L_Bird) reported

    @virginmedia This is not an acceptable solution having to crowd around an ipad when customers have paid to watch it on their TVs. Seems it was the same last week for the league cup games? Given all the problems Virgin had with the red button in the past this is really poor.

  • Laitty
    Graeson Laitt (@Laitty) reported

    Is anyone else having problems with Sky channels through Virgin Media today? We’ve got a message saying there’s a problem with the service, but it’s not very clear what the issue is. Just wondering if it’s affecting other Virgin Media customers as well? 📺 @virginmedia #Sky

    @virginmedia Ok so no sky sports+ available to watch on my Virgin TV. I’ve tried to log into the sky sports app however my Virgin02 ID is not recognised and will not allow me to me to sign in!! Shambles the game kicks off in 4mins!!

    Dear @virginmedia can you please detail the compensation we will receive for you being unable to provide what we pay for. No red button service. Your solution to advise we watch on the phone.
