    @virginmedia thanks, we'd checked that already and no issues. we have tv back but no on demand or broadband yet.

  • DigitalJonathan Jonathan Phillips (@DigitalJonathan) reported from Bristol, England

    God you’re hopeless @virginmedia . If I was as poor as you, I’d be out of a job. Broadband down again in BS6. Just another irritating 7mins. Never long enough to fill in your engineers form.

  • jongodfrey Jon Godfrey (@jongodfrey) reported from Saltford, England

    I can’t wait. Awful service and complaints handling by @virginmedia so looking forward to @theTRUESPEED

  • xChuChux911 Hi, call me Chu x (@xChuChux911) reported from Bristol, England

    @NightAtKendalls @virginmedia Actually my whole electrics cut out x

  • metallicnat Natalie Timmons (@metallicnat) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia thanks very much! We have been loyal customers for eight years and you granted us an extension with a promise to pay and now you’ve restricted our service two days before deadline for payment really really disappointed!!!

  • rimibar ɹɐqᴉɯᴉɹ (@rimibar) reported from Bristol, England

    I ask to speak to a Manager, you put me straight through to a line that says it's now closed, call back tomorrow. That's 32 minutes of my life wasted. Bad service, badly trained call centre staff, not happy @virginmedia

  • rjgux Richard George (@rjgux) reported from Kingswood, England

    @dangerous_85 @virginmedia I really don’t see the point in the service checker. There’s clearly an issue but still says ‘No known issues’. Rediculous

  • olikend oliver kendall (@olikend) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Thanks the router was out next to the tv by the outside wall, so we’ve never been able to use the WiFi in other parts of the house. It really only works well in that room.

  • DaveWilliams159 discodave (@DaveWilliams159) reported from Patchway, England

    @virginmedia had the phone disconnected on me 4 times already this morning trying to speak to your complaints team for over 2 hours today!! Shocking service 😡

  • BlackMayan PASTOR WILL🇲🇼🇬🇧 (@BlackMayan) reported from Keynsham, England

    Or @virginmedia just being shit as usual.

  • mikelind2 Mike Lind 🦏 (@mikelind2) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia - your pathetic service continues. Please get your customer service team to respond to my complaint URGENTLY. 706480004

  • amias Cut and Pastryarch (@amias) reported from Bristol, England

    @albanwr @cybergibbons I don't use any of my Samsung TVs smart features and deny it network access for that exact reason. But my virgin media V6 box and Netflix account are happily sending sweet something back all the time.

  • rimibar ɹɐqᴉɯᴉɹ (@rimibar) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia right now I'm super frustrated. (1) You sent me a TV box that is really poor quality. (2) I call to change it, telling them I would consiser upgrade. (continued...)

  • DigitalJonathan Jonathan Phillips (@DigitalJonathan) reported from Bristol, England

    Hey @virginmedia - down again. No. You DM me. You fill in your form. You call an engineer. I’m extremely tired of shit service. I’m running my business hotspotting from my @ThreeUK iPhone while your broadband does... oh I dunno.

  • olikend oliver kendall (@olikend) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia also was offer a system that would improve the WiFi in the house. The netgear pl1000 arrived yesterday and doesn’t give me@any further WiFi coverage. It just extends the network. I only have the one router..

  • Yippers Amy (@Yippers) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia No issues with speed at the moment. This is a comparison to what I was getting earlier when I was still using Sky. I’ve had Virgin installed since then.

  • Bridgey21 Emma Blackburn (@Bridgey21) reported from Backwell, England

    @virginmedia my WiFi is not working despite paying someone to install it and about 7 hours of troubleshooting so far. One of your agents was helping me and was supposed to call me back 25 minutes ago but hasn’t yet and booster issue still not fixed

  • CGBadley Chris Badley (@CGBadley) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Yea, yea. I’ll just carry on being a long term customer mug until my year’s up thanks

  • DigitalJonathan Jonathan Phillips (@DigitalJonathan) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia To repeat, your service drops for a few minutes a day. By the time I check, it’s back. It absolutely frustrates me. On Tuesday, 4mins *just as I needed to start a Skype w a customer*. > 2

  • bobktheking Bob Krysiak (@bobktheking) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia I have had a terrible experience with Roshan technical support at virgin media. After reporting a fault with my WIFI network three times, he put the phone down on me. These technical support people are arrogant rude and not helpful at all!

  • J_P_Buck Jord (@J_P_Buck) reported

    @virginmedia DAY 3: I’ve called almost every day and get told... every time... “it’s with Activision/Provision”. When I ask to speak to them, you supposedly can’t and I have to wait for a call back from them (which clearly never happens) #PleaseFixMyWall

  • Br1t2000 Br1t 2000 (@Br1t2000) reported

    @virginmedia Thank you - I have half the street moaning like me about the lack of Broadband and TV on VM over Easter weekend and the rest of the road saying they have BT and we should all move there as they’ve never had problems

  • denise_meldrum Denise MELDRUM (@denise_meldrum) reported

    @virginmedia worst customer service EVER..no WiFi since 24 December 2020..no booster, no call back, no replies to my formal complaints. Where are the real people not chat bots?

  • Hcoker23 Harry Coker (@Hcoker23) reported

    @virginmedia My broadband has not worked properly for months now, either works great or not at all, currently half my devices can’t connect to the broadband the other half can. Called last night and someone was trying to help and the line went dead which has also happened to me multiple times

  • TD9Games Tiarnan (@TD9Games) reported

    @virginmedia wtf is going on WiFi has been on and off all day and now its down for 3 straight hours?? Pls fix this ASAP so I can get some work done

  • ali_attalla 3lawe (@ali_attalla) reported

    I hope everyone is enjoying their Easter break. Unfortunately I am with @virginmedia and have been waiting for them to fix my internet since January 30th. Let's see if they can do it before 2022

  • HoochDes Steven Christie (@HoochDes) reported

    @virginmedia I've done that and the wired connection is fine on a test with your tech "expert". He was quite rude and said there is nothing that can be done as wifi is a "bonus". Obviously this contradicts your advert on "most reliable WiFi ever"

  • diamondhawk21 diamondhawk2 (@diamondhawk21) reported

    @virginmedia is everyones connection not working gonna end any time soon?

  • ColbyStride Colby (@ColbyStride) reported

    @virginmedia my broadband has been down since last night ... what's going on??

  • steveg33 Steven Greensmith (@steveg33) reported

    @virginmedia The tech support service is the reason we are cancelling it is appalling and it's worse since your engineer came out. I have filed complaints then the complaints section says I have none logged.
