  • miteamshirts Chrissie Fuller (@miteamshirts) reported from Chorley, England

    Re Virgin Media Live TV outage. Internet still working as is Netflix, Amazon Prime and My Recordings. Catch-up/binge day!!

  • LeylandDavid David Gardner (@LeylandDavid) reported from Leyland, England

    @virginmedia My landline phone has been down all afternoon in PR25 1UJ. Have any others complained about this issue, and if you're aware of the issue, do you have an estimated time for repair. Thanks in advance.

  • Miss_Defying Rebecca Harrisson (@Miss_Defying) reported from Ormskirk, England

    @virginmedia But on the online forum it says others have had the same problem and your technical department need to contact Sky and the line needs to be routed to you again as it's a porting issue. I can't see any other examination although I appreciate I'm not a technician.

  • LeylandDavid David Gardner (@LeylandDavid) reported from Leyland, England

    @virginmedia How many more times, the landline is NOT working (no dial tone).

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

    @virginmedia Yeah, I've done all that (I'm a techy) it's why it's in modem mode and replaced with a capable router. The issue isnt the equipment it's the connection. Without the hub3 I can run upto 900Mbps download and 240mbps upload.

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

    @virginmedia Considering my router is a 1gbps it shouldn't be an issue. However even with wired it'll vary between 15mbps and 110mbps. However our average over a month is 53.6mbps, which is less than half the speed we pay for 😳.

  • Christerphurr Chris Mann (@Christerphurr) reported from Preston, England

    @virginmedia Hi, my broadband has just gone off is there a known issue in my area or do I need to book an engineer ?

  • Christerphurr Chris Mann (@Christerphurr) reported from Preston, England

    @virginmedia It just says to book an engineer, but I don’t want to book it incase it’s an external issue which will be fixed

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

    @virginmedia @JTCHANGINGBIZ Whilst they provide a marginally better speeds than competitors their customer service is just non existent, until you say you're leaving..

  • boardchik Katy Molyneux (@boardchik) reported from Standish, England

    @virginmedia my internet/tele are not working! Second time in the space of a few weeks

  • SammyKnowlesX SJK (@SammyKnowlesX) reported from Banks, England

    @virginmedia please can I have a direct contact for complaints. I don’t want a generic email, I want someone higher to sort out the same issue I am having every month 😤😡🤬

  • Davegas2 David Walton (@Davegas2) reported from Feniscowles, England

    @virginmedia When are you going to sort out problem with red button on Sky sports, sometimes on, most times off, ongoing problem.

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

    @virginmedia I have your smart hub 3, or as I like to call it the dumb dumb 3000. (It's struggles to broadcast a decent connection around a 2 bed flat, so it's been banished to modem mode. (Honestly, it's the worst router ive ever dealt with) 😳

  • LeylandDavid David Gardner (@LeylandDavid) reported from Leyland, England

    @virginmedia No updated fix time, as it shows all services as green, and can't detect a problem. It asks us to phone you on 151 to do a little more "digging", but the phone line is DOWN. Oh, and the chatbot doesn't deal with landline issues apparently. Now what???

  • SammyKnowlesX SJK (@SammyKnowlesX) reported from Banks, England

    @virginmedia I’ve contacted after last months bill and the bill before and before….I get told that I won’t be getting chased for the difference but I don’t understand why you just can’t get it right and fix it

  • boardchik Katy Molyneux (@boardchik) reported from Standish, England

    @virginmedia Internet is down again!!! I don’t need this when working from home! And before you ask I have done every step you ask us to do!!

  • LeylandDavid David Gardner (@LeylandDavid) reported from Leyland, England

    @virginmedia Reported the problem yesterday after your response. Should have been fixed by 10am today apparently, but still nothing.

  • Libra_Comms Ali Gudgeon 💙 (@Libra_Comms) reported from Preston, England

    @virginmedia have come home from work to find my internet is down and remains down. Are there any issues in PR2 9TT?

  • SammyKnowlesX SJK (@SammyKnowlesX) reported from Banks, England

    @virginmedia please provide a direct contact for complaints. Sick of the poor service and mistakes that I have had every month since joining you

  • Miss_Defying Rebecca Harrisson (@Miss_Defying) reported from Ormskirk, England

    @virginmedia Hi!! Just letting you know my land line issue still isn't fixed. Someone is supposed to be calling me back today. I'm really hoping they do. Just wanted to say thanks to Robert too for being so helpful. Despite this still driving me mad.
