    @virginmedia The cookies are always active. As I said I didn’t close the browser I just refreshed the page. So now 5 slots are taken by my MacBook. But it won’t allow me to watch on my MacBook so what can you do to help me?

  • Nicole_Baker
    NicoleMichelleBaker (@Nicole_Baker) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England

    @virginmedia Then was told a booster would be delivered that never arrived. So when I called back it hadn't actually been ordered. I finally received it yesterday but am still waiting for a call back following a complaint I made and the charges I am not willing to pay for the booster.

    @virginmedia can you help me I’m trying to register my device with virgin tv go and everytime I go onto it it says to register the device. I’ve done this 5 times and now it’s not allowing me to watch anything because maximum number of devices have been registered

  • Elle83
    Michelle E (@Elle83) reported from Walton le Dale, England

    @virginmedia why does my super hub 3 keep resetting my WiFi password. I’m having to change it through settings every other day because it keeps defaulting back to the security key, this is causing major issues

  • Nicole_Baker
    Coley B (@Nicole_Baker) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England

    @virginmedia am I to take your complete and utter silence as the refusal to resolve the outstanding complaint?!? the utter disregard you continuously display towards your customers is disgraceful. You should be ashamed. @MartinSLewis

  • TazAliPreston
    Taz Ali (@TazAliPreston) reported from Preston, England

    @virginmedia can someone please message me. I have been struggling to get hold of someone to resolve a home telephone number. I have been promised call backs to resolve this long overdue complaint. But still waiting to speak to someone! #CustomerExperience

  • mgsevs
    sevs66 (@mgsevs) reported from Kirkham, England

    @MeNigeStew I'm with @virginmedia suffering for decent coverage in parts of the house & despite trying a pod (which has yet to work btw) wifi extenders (which fight with the main router) & 2 engineer visits I'm still suffering. Having full TV as well not sure how broadband price breaks down

  • 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

  • Nicole_Baker
    Coley B (@Nicole_Baker) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England

    @virginmedia Ooo a response! Now I have a dilemma - do I have to complain about the length of time it took to even try to help me with my original complaint? I do sincerely hope I actually get somewhere this time. The time I have spent trying to resolve this is astronomical!

  • 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.

  • 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

    @virginmedia hi my tivo remote is broken trying to order new online and an error message comes up. Can't get through on the phone Help

  • 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 👍

  • AngWaterhouse
    Angela Waterhouse (@AngWaterhouse) reported from Euxton, England

    @virginmedia I can’t get through by phone-landline or mobile. Are all your phone lines down? #virginmediadown

    @virginmedia my internet has been suffering drop outs all day, now I have no working TV or internet. Being told it's my equipment when it never is, it's getting old that excuse. I will apparently have to wait 3 days for "an engineer to come out" - I can't I have to go to work 😤

    Can you really afford such bad PR for your crass behaviour @virginmedia ? I think not. Wake up and put it right please.

  • freispch

    Currently suing Virgin Media so know what you mean. They caused me to miss a critical operation on my upper spine. Been left with life changing chronic nerve damage.

  • Samet_UK
    Samet (@Samet_UK) reported

    @AmyHeppi @virginmedia Same here. It’s been over 24 hours and my Wi-Fi is still down. I’ve called support twice—they only say there’s an area outage with no updates. The status page isn't helpful too. Really disappointed with Virgin Media. Time to look at other providers.

    @virginmedia yeah, no. been without internet for a week and engineer was supposed to fix our outside cables today. just got a message saying it's been rescheduled for next month. your customer service is pathetic and disgusting. can't wait to switch.

  • LeonFear
    Leon Fear (@LeonFear) reported

    If I paid @virginmedia pro-rata, on the basis they provided a reliable service, my bill would be around £1.50 a month!

    @MichelleBeckett @SkyUK @VodafoneUK If you expect poor service from Virgin Media you will not be disappointed.

    @virginmedia My point was more that you’d know better than me, but whatever. No issues in my area are showing.

    @virginmedia why can't you sync your transmission with the terrestrial or Sky service because my neighbour is ruining these games for me. He screams like a banshee on heat 40 seconds "before" we score. #NORENG
