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

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

  • 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.

  • 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+

  • J_w_D94 LeChonk (@J_w_D94) reported from Horwich, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I'm tweeting from the device I'm having connectivity and signal issues with, I've looked on the website and it's not stating if you're having network issues or not.

  • FloButcher84 strange little Flo (@FloButcher84) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia still no broadband in bb3 area since Thurs & update now says tomorrow for fix. Shocking customer service, why can't you tell your customers what is happening instead of saying an engineer is on the way on the updates, at least then we would know what to expect

  • 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

  • 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.

  • FloButcher84 strange little Flo (@FloButcher84) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia bb3 area: internet has been down since yesterday morning & update it's not going to be fixed till tomorrow. I have a online business to run & kids need to do their homework online, can't stream any tv either. Can I ask what the issue is & why its taking so long?

  • 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?

  • 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?)

  • franners82 frances whitehead (@franners82) reported from Garstang, England

    @virginmedia can you help me verify my account - not receiving any emails…

  • FloButcher84 strange little Flo (@FloButcher84) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia Yeah I've seen that already thanks, but it's not going to help the kids with accessing homework online. no I am not on a B account as of yet as I have only just started out in the last week 😑 but even if I was on a B account it would still be off so doesn't make any difference

  • 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.

  • LawAspi TheAspiLawStudent #NoReturns (@LawAspi) reported from Chorley, England

    @nerdscav @the_hinchy @virginmedia Yes because a WiFi extender will fix the issue when it's the incoming line and not the hardware 😳. The routers gives a 3ping and 1GBps connection. The issue is virgin's crappy network 👍

  • Adzcantsing Adz can't sing (@Adzcantsing) reported from Penwortham, England

    @virginmedia useless we are trying to cancel and for past 2 weeks now since we have moved home. We have been pushed from pillar to post, been laughed at by customer service. Since we moved we have we've been promised someone will come and sort it.

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

    @virginmedia broadband is down. WiFi light is solid green whilst the bar is flashing green. Help!

  • ms_sasmassey sarah (@ms_sasmassey) reported from Preston, England

    Hi @virginmedia I've been having TV issues for a few days today is really bad missing channels - error code W02, and intermittent pictures on others

  • kgannon1 Kevin Gannon (@kgannon1) reported

    @virginmedia My problem is your txt service and response for this issue has been so poor I want to cancel my service. It’s simply not how you treat people. Completely unacceptable

  • kgannon1 Kevin Gannon (@kgannon1) reported

    @virginmedia No the second engineer seemed to solve it but it started happening again. It was to do with network setting and connection cables. But we’ve now had intermittent WiFi for 7 days and no compensation for earlier loss of service

  • HenryMcleanLow Henry McLean-Low (@HenryMcleanLow) reported

    @virginmedia Getting very fed up of your intermittent service! Another morning of having to tether to my phone as the internet is unusable. Any ETA on fix?!

  • Mecha_Rontharo Queer Beholder 🏳️‍🌈 (@Mecha_Rontharo) reported

    @OllieHill @virginmedia Shockingly bad service.

  • shannonastonxx shannonaston (@shannonastonxx) reported

    @virginmedia Not sure I’m in Irvine, Scotland? Can you see if there’s issues?

  • Chrisroach Chris Roach (@Chrisroach) reported

    @ALANMYERSMEDIA @virginmedia I moved back to Formby when we knew we were having our first child, the house we moved to wasn’t covered by their network. Although that wasn’t my fault they still charged us £400 for leaving the contract early.

  • AncelottiArmy ETID (@AncelottiArmy) reported

    @virginmedia £190 is out of order though and a lot of money. You should just have a set amount like £99 would be more better especially after this year with a lot of people been furlough etc. I won’t be coming back and my parents our also leaving virgin when contract is up. So 2 customer lost

  • jimb2_ Jimb2 (@jimb2_) reported

    @virginmedia I will monitor, I have provided you with a tech number and complaint number for the cable issue can you look into why I am still waiting: Tech ID 107332_3710 Complaint ID COM1044332345 I've spent far too much time dealing with Virgin on this -

  • mattd1981 Matt Dickinson (@mattd1981) reported

    @virginmedia appalling service. Have logged complaint to be told it can take up to 8 WEEKS to look at!!!! Really really not good enough. TV, broadband, landline and mobile customer and looks like time to move elsewhere. Such a shame @richardbranson

  • GregAnd12668397 Greg Anderson (@GregAnd12668397) reported

    @ALANMYERSMEDIA @virginmedia The worst thing is the stress it causes older people. My mum gets really upset by this sort of thing. Older generation don't do email and automated telephone calls
