    @virginmedia We have. Multiple times. Your agents don't know how to help. Spoke to 3 different people. I'm getting contant update emails. I don't need to check the service. I know its down. This is beyond ridiculous. I work from home, I can't do my job because of your terrible service.

  • Madhornet73 Lee Thomas (@Madhornet73) reported from South Shore, England

    @virginmedia The red button is not working again for the football

  • BeanBolt BeanBolt (@BeanBolt) reported from Southport, England

    @virginmedia It says no issue in the area, then when I click "still having issues" the local scan shows intermittent outages in the area, been like this for 24hrs+

  • ylilxanoi 🥔 A bean has no name 🥔 (@ylilxanoi) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia Internet is down in our area since Monday. I keep getting multiple emails saying it'll be fixed by 12pm tomorrow, then 4pm Wednesday 12pm Thursday, 12pm Friday and now 4pm Friday. None of your call centre staff can help us we've spent hours on hold this week.

  • ylilxanoi 🥔 A bean has no name 🥔 (@ylilxanoi) reported from Wigan, England

    @Virgin @virginmedia I've had no Internet now for 14 days and my bill is due in 2 days. This is disgusting service, your call centre staff are useless, your engineers are useless, this is appalling for £52 a month. Sort the problem out now.

  • ylilxanoi 🥔 A bean has no name 🥔 (@ylilxanoi) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia my interest been down for a whole week. Call centre staff don't know what to say. An engineer has been on site every single day apparently. Can someone fix my internet. I pay £52 a month this is beyond a joke. I've used all my 4g& bought a ****** dongle just to WFH

  • NeckSausage NeckSausage (@NeckSausage) reported from Tarleton, England

    @virginmedia really poor coverage here PR4 6, is there a mast problem?

  • ylilxanoi 🥔 A bean has no name 🥔 (@ylilxanoi) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia Yeah.. apparently its down in WN1 but nobody is telling me what's wrong or how long it will take. I need Internet to work.

  • Tiiredbunny Bunny 💙 (@Tiiredbunny) reported from South Shore, England

    @virginmedia I will leave it open but nothing popped up earlier should I sign in?

  • Radebreast Graeme Radebe (@Radebreast) reported from Ormskirk, England

    @virginmedia Hi - Ive noticed alot of people are having the same issues. Its the Sky TV Go app on Playstation 4. Ive checked it on another internet and it works fine so it is definitely an error on your side. You need to sort the internet settings. It struggles to load “on Now” on the app.

  • TheRealRagtag Stephen Murtagh (@TheRealRagtag) reported from Penwortham, England

    Not very often I say good things about @virginmedia but todays service was excellent. Peter sorted out Wi-fi problem, wavered the set up fee, and arranged a new hub after lots of line tests. Thank you. (But will have no service for 6 days in all.🙄 Refund?)

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

    @virginmedia Yes and yes. I even wiped it totally a week or so ago. My wife as an iPhoneSE and is experiencing the same problem.

  • Madhornet73 Lee Thomas (@Madhornet73) reported from South Shore, England

    @virginmedia Why is the red button not working on SkySports

  • agarnett Adam (@agarnett) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia Is there any way to tell if there are signal issues in your area? This says i should get 4g indoors and outdoors, i dont though i can barely access mobile internet from my house. Last 3 months have been awful

  • LIVEINBLACKPOOL Peter Ian Mowbray RODP💙 (@LIVEINBLACKPOOL) reported from South Shore, England

    @virginmedia It’s been a tricky few days as I have been trying to run my media company. I phoned Virgin Media business both times was told it’s an outage. It seems to be working better than ever now, but hoping no more disruptions. Thank you for making contact with me

  • BooCavapoo BooCavapoo 🐶 (@BooCavapoo) reported from Penwortham, England

    @virginmedia please sort out the issues with the WiFi, Internet, broadband or whatever the term us these days. It is constantly slow or not working. Having to use mobile data is not an effective substitute for the service I am paying for.

  • Radebreast Graeme Radebe (@Radebreast) reported from Ormskirk, England

    @virginmedia what have you done to the Sky TV app - its constantly buffering and showing error messages. Just awful service. Please can you get this sorted ASAP please.

  • SourEnvy Elliot ⚽️🏈🎮 (@SourEnvy) reported from Preston, England

    @virginmedia Afternoon, I have an iPad with a Virgin SIM card that I no longer use. Obviously still need to pay off the monthly device fee but am I able to cancel the SIM plan?

  • DannyLannon dannyWAFClannon (@DannyLannon) reported from Wigan, England

    @Louisewafc @virginmedia Nice of Stoke fans turn up to support us

  • BooCavapoo BooCavapoo 🐶 (@BooCavapoo) reported from Penwortham, England

    @virginmedia No, that's not possible as the yoga device does not have wired port. The WiFi just needs sorting out. Its been terrible for weeks @virginmedia

    @tommypalm @virginmedia Everytime I phoned them to cancel, they'd "transfer" me and then the call got cut off...

  • thehaughtykid William (@thehaughtykid) reported

    @virginmedia It has confirmed that in my area there are issues & the engineers are working to get it fixed.

  • LeeUHF HI... I'm Lee UHF from Dirtbox `n that (@LeeUHF) reported

    To top this all off I was miss-sold an upgrade product off the back of my original complaint/issue that still is not resolved. I cannot wait for my contract to be over so that I can leave @virginmedia

  • really_grumpy | Steven | Tommy Club Champion | ®♿ (@really_grumpy) reported

    @virginmedia I tried cancelling using the text number you gave me but the person I was texting with (Merlowe) refused to cancel my contract? I don't understand why I can't cancel online just like I did when signing up, this should be made common practice @Ofcom

  • PaulHunter1969 Paul Hunter (@PaulHunter1969) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia please can you DM me? I can’t get through to the help desk.

  • ibeeby Ian Beeby (@ibeeby) reported

    @V96GLF @virginmedia Get your VoIP service from Miso via me (referral) for £1.50 per line per month, keep your number, abt. £0.01 per minute for calls and never look back...

  • LeeUHF HI... I'm Lee UHF from Dirtbox `n that (@LeeUHF) reported

    @virginmedia After being passed to 4 people with a total talk time of 16 mins and waiting time of 2.5hrs the final person at 7;15pm at night decided to hang up on me and still I have no resolution to my issue.

  • mwnl allan furness (@mwnl) reported

    @virginmedia what's your UK customer service number?? You promised me booster's that haven't arrived, your promised WiFi speed isn't up to scratch and your engineers never call you back!

  • Kellingtonz Kelly :) (@Kellingtonz) reported

    Virgin media - “there are no issues in your area” 😬 My area - “ we’ve had no internet since last night” so frustrating @virginmedia

  • V96GLF Russell Whitworth (@V96GLF) reported

    @ibeeby @virginmedia I think @virginmedia ‘s strategy is to wean me off needing a landline at all, so I will cancel rather than seek an alternative
