  • CharlieIDIC IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia He swapped out the router said that solved a bit of the issue but speeds still not as expected then said he would have to book a longer appointment to figure out the issue so he went. Waiting for another appointment

  • alandean1878 Alan Dean (@alandean1878) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia Still a problem. Programmes we recorded Thurs & Friday are unwatchable (& not available on Catch Up for some reason)

  • CharlieIDIC IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia Yes I know! They are doing essential works but you say broadband outage and you get data on your phone. That is a breach of trading standards as apparently you don’t do that

  • supergran22 Maureen StewartJones (@supergran22) reported from Eccleston, England

    @virginmedia Connection problem with Apps. Phone & told to give no. underneath box. Difficult 2 bend down, hold box & phone. How can there b a problem when the TV in other room is working? Sick of having a text to do it myself or ask 4 tech help from someone who can't help.

  • alandean1878 Alan Dean (@alandean1878) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I've been on to the Service Status line, no issues. Used My Virgin Media app no issues raised with Broadband or TV provision. Still picture break-ups on some channels.

  • CharlieIDIC IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia just found out as I’m an oomph customer on volt I should get broadband of 350 but getting 53 jitter is beyond a joke too. What happened?

  • Krys_yogi Ada Yoga🧘🏾‍♀️ (@Krys_yogi) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia you guys are really ***************. What's with the network outage?? Please fix this!

  • CharlieIDIC IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia can you remind me the link for customer complaints please. Engineer lied, lost working time now still not right and I refuse to keep paying when I’m not getting a steady working internet let alone at the volt speeds as advertised

  • CharlieIDIC IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia I don’t want to talk to an Indian call centre going off a script I want a reasonable human who doesn’t work from a script and can help me

  • CharlieIDIC IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia Every time it fails I have never been asked to do a reset. The last time they checked their system and sent an engineer who put attenuation on it as the jitter was high and the system showed a fault their end

  • CharlieIDIC IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia I need to make a complaint and submit my bill for time wasted with tests that show me what I already know….it’s faulty and has been on and off for a long time and each fix doesn’t fix it

  • Holty_74 Nick holt (@Holty_74) reported from Wallasey, England

    @virginmedia service has been down on the Wirral most of the day. Any idea when a fix will happen?

  • CharlieIDIC IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia offer volt speeds of 350 paying for 200 getting 60ish it’s ridiculous I’ve spent hours sending them proof when jitter high they think resetting it all and spending more hours getting everything back up will work and I don’t it’s only been this bad this time since

  • alandean1878 Alan Dean (@alandean1878) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia It's worst on 601 BBC News where either part or all of the screen pixilates. But it happens on other channels to a lesser degree.

  • CharlieIDIC IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia I already spent ages on the phone on Friday when I needed internet but you were doing essential works. I study, work and have a young daughter I don’t have time for long phone calls for a service that should work.

  • CharlieIDIC IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia They’ve sent a signal to it which they say will fix it but it’s even worse now

  • CharlieIDIC IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia are useless fixing an area so they break your broadband then get you to do lots of useless tests that show the same thing then ask for a reset that will not fix anything

  • CharlieIDIC IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia The team have booked an engineer but advised changes on router settings that have made it a bit better until the engineer can fix it properly

  • Krys_yogi Ada Yoga🧘🏾‍♀️ (@Krys_yogi) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Just seen an update that there's an issue in the area. How long is this gon take to fix? Some of us have work and need to be online. This is rather frustrating

  • CharlieIDIC IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia Looks like your engineer told me he would book a follow up appointment then didn’t bother. Your customer service lately and ability to provide a service are very lacking

  • MaldenSaboteur London Tim 🇺🇦#FBPE 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇲🇺🇵🇱🔸️ (@MaldenSaboteur) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, although I have had to call the retentions team today in order to get through to a human who was unable to provide any certainty about when or whether this problem will be solved.

  • Gav_F Gavin Farrell (@Gav_F) reported

    @virginmedia I’m getting a regular pop-up error message saying something about the signal, but the message doesn’t last long enough to read it so I don’t know exactly what the issue is. From my set top box. Any ideas?

  • LeeDaines3 Lee Daines (@LeeDaines3) reported

    @virginmedia I am so frustrated with your customer service, takes ages to get through, and being told the wrong information. You are breaching our contract and over charging me.

  • Ykallan40 Yvonne Allan (@Ykallan40) reported

    @virginmedia Need to cancel my virgin media due to finances. Been chatting on WhatsApp since 2pm yesterday

  • dullthings aiden clark (@dullthings) reported

    @virginmedia currently going through complaints process to cancel my contract because you can't send my the TV box and I've been fobbed off constantly. Can't even get complaints to speak with me, they've just added new products and have to wait 3 weeks now !

  • Stu_Hird Stuart Hird (@Stu_Hird) reported

    @virginmedia I can't get a wifi signal in any of our bedrooms. We live in a standard 3 bed semi and the signal cuts out when we go upstairs. Help please!

  • ray61896178 ray (@ray61896178) reported

    @virginmedia You agreed on a contract, contract started, payment taken. Every time someone has come out to activate services they look at us and say we can’t provide the service. We are the only house without it

  • BazPrior Barry Prior (@BazPrior) reported

    @virginmedia Still the same no Internet, on the site it says there is a problem in my area, its been 15 hours now.

  • JulieHutchison2 Julie (@JulieHutchison2) reported

    @virginmedia My 84 year old dad has been charged for a wrestling service. He has Alzheimer’s and doesn’t know his bank pin, let alone a Virgin media pin. He’s never watched wrestling in his life. Customer service says it to be paid. Absolutely no help regarding management of his account

  • PeterJMilburn Peter Milburn (@PeterJMilburn) reported

    @virginmedia No but this doesn’t help me cancel does it?
