  • Rebecccakate ☺️ (@Rebecccakate) reported from Great Harwood, England

    @virginmedia £150 a month and the internet doesn’t even work. Amazing. Can’t wait to cancel that.

  • fos100 Richard Foster (@fos100) reported from New Longton, England

    Who in their right mind schedules planned maintenance for a Monday morning and says it could go on until three pm? Oh yeah, @virginmedia - cracking service as always #workfromhome #muppets

  • fos100 Richard Foster (@fos100) reported from New Longton, England

    Since I moved, the @virginmedia connection has been terrible. I’ve had an engineer out, had a booster put on, been told on numerous occasions to reboot the hub. This shouldn’t be needed. Their website is horrendous to use and largely involves linking to help guides 1/?

  • fos100 Richard Foster (@fos100) reported from New Longton, England

    @virginmedia That just wants me to upgrade my package; I just want to order the pods. Why is the website so poor?

  • fos100 Richard Foster (@fos100) reported from New Longton, England

    Hi @virginmedia, I’m trying to order some pods to sort out my truly shocking Wi-Fi, but can’t work out how to do so. Please could you help me?

  • IanForrest10 Ian Forrest (@IanForrest10) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia Plugged in new Wi-Fi hub all good. Paired new remote with box but upgrade to box failed error code M63. Bot is all over place customer service rep basically non-engineer saying turn it off on again!

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

    @virginmedia It's nothing you can help with on twitter unfortunately 😞.

  • Elisabet0490 🪷Elisabet🪷 (@Elisabet0490) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia my internet has been suffering drop outs all day, now I have no working TV or internet. Being told it's my equipment when it never is, it's getting old that excuse. I will apparently have to wait 3 days for "an engineer to come out" - I can't I have to go to work 😤

  • LiamKenniford Liam Kenniford (@LiamKenniford) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia are you having problems in BB10 area?? Can’t get any internet access

  • fos100 Richard Foster (@fos100) reported from New Longton, England

    @virginmedia It’s an ongoing issue and an engineer is due out on Thursday but today the internet decided it didn’t want to work on my laptop

  • geordiegal97 Amy 🌼 (@geordiegal97) reported from Preston, England

  • BeakerRick Rick Leeming - Beaker (@BeakerRick) reported from Preston, England

  • Phil0266 Phil Halshaw (@Phil0266) reported

    @virginmedia Hi @virginmedia it is now over 2 days since I have been unable to login in to my virgin media account or access Sky Sports via the Sky Sports App or via internet. When will this be fixed and where is the communication explaining the fault.

  • tim_abell Tim Abell (@tim_abell) reported

    @virginmedia how ******** do you speak to a human at virgin media? The phone system is completely impenetrable. #CustomerDisservice

  • Keith_965 SAYes Keith (@Keith_965) reported

    @virginmedia - email service and login still down since 1100 on 14th. Been on cable here 31 years and more than 10 with Virgin Media - hit a low point. Please resolve.

  • arnie1984 James Arnold (@arnie1984) reported

    @virginmedia It's a joke though, we pay for a service and it doesn't even run properly. I'd love to say it's only a one off scenario, but it's happened more this year than others. I'd swap provider if I could but Sky in this area just doesn't reach the same level as you when working.

  • arnie1984 James Arnold (@arnie1984) reported

    @virginmedia a little unhappy that my Virgin Media services have been down from around 0730 this morning and it shows it's not going to be resolved till tomorrow afternoon. My postcode is TW19 7HY. A little unhappy as we've been unable to use services we pay for due to WiFi.

  • ExN_SKRT Adam Damarell (@ExN_SKRT) reported

    @virginmedia 4 times in 6 days that both broadband and Tv have been down for extended periods of time. What on earth is going on at Virgin media? Happy to take my £70+ a month, will be claiming compensation.

  • LornieWillins Lorna Willins (@LornieWillins) reported

    @virginmedia please answer your phone I need help with my virgin media app

  • gary_mortland Gary Mortland (@gary_mortland) reported

    @virginmedia Virgin media broadband is useless. I’ve been without service since Saturday and still not sorted🙈

  • Farke_In_El Yorkshire Sherpa (@Farke_In_El) reported
