    Is anyone else having issues with @virginmedia? Internet is being very spotty and seems others are having issues too according to Down Detector.

  • rahim94 Rahim™ 🇬🇧🇲🇦 (@rahim94) reported from Narborough, England

    @virginmedia If you can sort out the compensation for the 2 weeks loss of service, that'd be great 👍

  • rahim94 Rahim™ 🇬🇧🇲🇦 (@rahim94) reported from Narborough, England

    FINALLY!!! After raising a serious complaint with @virginmedia with the prospect of the ombudsman getting involved... They've finally got my services up and running Now all that remains is for them to sort out some compensation and then we can pretend this never happened

  • rahim94 Rahim™ 🇬🇧🇲🇦 (@rahim94) reported from Narborough, England

    2 weeks now and I still haven't got any service from @virginmedia!!!! I'm starting to think they're doing this on purpose

  • rahim94 Rahim™ 🇬🇧🇲🇦 (@rahim94) reported from Narborough, England

    I'm seriously considering cancelling @virginmedia!!! I'm getting ****** off with them. 11 days without a service is unacceptable!!!

  • DenhamKite Denham Kite (@DenhamKite) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia - what number do I call to talk to a real person to sort this rubbish before I cancel?

  • ollieg21296 Ollie (@ollieg21296) reported from Ketteringham, England

    @virginmedia Hi guys, I’ve put my UK sim card in my phone while I’m back in the country (I’m still paying the contract) - but I’ve had the sim in for 9 hours and I’m still not receiving any service. Can you assist please?

  • iamthemummy julie marlow (@iamthemummy) reported from Ibstock, England

    @virginmedia @virginhelp Refund me 6 weeks line rental for a start ... issue adapters to all house holds on the land line system before you change to hub, so customers are not left unable to make or receive calls.

  • ASJPhotography Alexandra Johnson (@ASJPhotography) reported from Coalville, England

    @virginmedia One of your tech engineers confirmed the problem in our local area and following a conversation with customer service they kept trying to get me to create multiple networks for speed. This wasn’t the problem, the problem was amplifiers in the local area!!

  • ASJPhotography Alexandra Johnson (@ASJPhotography) reported from Coalville, England

    @virginmedia have to be the MOST unhelpful when it comes to customer service. I’ve been going round and round and round for an issue your technical engineer has already highlighted!!!!

  • JamesMartinTVR 🇬🇧 James Martin ACAM BA (Hons) 🇬🇧 #FBPB (@JamesMartinTVR) reported from Hinckley, England

    @virginmedia @primevideouk - Why does @BBCiPlayer on your devices not support the 4K football feeds? It only works through the app on my television which isn't particularly ideal.

  • HarjitDosanjh8 High End Chauffeurs of leicester (@HarjitDosanjh8) reported from Thurnby, England

    @virginmedia @O2 @peterkay_co_uk I think your service is a laughing show. Years and nothing ever fixed finally time to move on.

  • GodivaGuidedogs GodivaPuppyAppeal (@GodivaGuidedogs) reported from Nuneaton, England

    @virginmedia Even more reason to cancel, typical corporate strategy why offer people something cheaper in today’s economic climate when you can continue to rip them off

  • GodivaGuidedogs GodivaPuppyAppeal (@GodivaGuidedogs) reported from Nuneaton, England

    @virginmedia Mainly because you’re now too expensive, called retention team and was offered a derisory £4 discount. Enquired about new streaming service, agent knew nothing about it

  • GodivaGuidedogs GodivaPuppyAppeal (@GodivaGuidedogs) reported from Nuneaton, England

    @itsmeAlexVega @virginmedia I’ve used Virgin Media for years but going to cancel when my current contact expires

  • MonikP_97 Monik Patel (@MonikP_97) reported from Oadby and Wigston, England

    @virginmedia Definitely the worst broadband provider. How are you meant to wfh with no internet ??

  • juanfelipe1 John Wright (@juanfelipe1) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @simonnread @virginmedia I'm looking at the new Sky Stream service that starts on 18th October combined with Three 5G broadband. Both offer rolling 1 month contracts

  • HarjitDosanjh8 High End Chauffeurs of leicester (@HarjitDosanjh8) reported from Thurnby, England

    @virginmedia So whilst on the phone you put us through to get a dongle as an emergency and you tried to charge us £39! Wow the cheek of it!

  • HarjitDosanjh8 High End Chauffeurs of leicester (@HarjitDosanjh8) reported from Thurnby, England

    @virginmedia currently on the phone and surprise surprise sir give us another 24 hours!! Are you mad! I’m pulling my hair out!!! I’ve never tweeted before but my guess is it’s the only way they’ll pull there finger out!!!

  • HarjitDosanjh8 High End Chauffeurs of leicester (@HarjitDosanjh8) reported from Thurnby, England

    @virginmedia 5 days no internet, promises of 24 hours it will be running, then told a little maintenance, yesterday at 9:30am we were told in 9 hours you will get a call guaranteed (didn’t happen). All day today no work has got done! Poor internet for years and now none!! WTH!!

  • aquarius16th Neil Walley💙🇺🇦 (@aquarius16th) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, My Virginmedia & TVGo apps are working as normal. I believe it is a broken link on the Skysports sign in page. The Virgin TV UK button to enable me to sign in does not work.

  • HiyaItsRhiann Rhiann (@HiyaItsRhiann) reported

    @virginmedia having serious problems linking virgin media account to virgin media O2 ID account - correct email used despite it telling me it’s not and I have an email to confirm 02 account is linked to virgin account - very frustrating - please help!!

  • aquarius16th Neil Walley💙🇺🇦 (@aquarius16th) reported

    @virginmedia Unfortunately I am still unable to reach the sign in page via 'virgin tv uk' button on Skysports app. I have cleared the app data/cache & even reinstalled. All to no avail.

  • dishesrdone74 Chris Denton (@dishesrdone74) reported

    @virginmedia Done that. Still get into anything that requires a virgin media sign in.

  • dishesrdone74 Chris Denton (@dishesrdone74) reported

    @virginmedia Yes I've tried this many times but can't get past the email verification link page which puts me back to the last Internet page I was on. So I can't sign into anything that requires a virgin media sign in. Still stuck.

  • No_Bikers The EA 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇸🇮🇱 #FBAH (@No_Bikers) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks, there was nothing listed. However I discovered via local media there was a major outage near Dumbarton, however there was nothing on the website or app. The call centre didn't know either. Lasted most of the day. Pretty poor Comms.

  • ThomsonEdwint Ed Thomson (@ThomsonEdwint) reported

    @virginmedia why have you changed the way I access my account on trying to login into Virgin Media? You are asking for a second e mail address to access! I don’t have one . No other options.

  • CraigMansfield0 Craig Mansfield (@CraigMansfield0) reported

    @virginmedia no communication on outage in Dumbarton from virgin media directly. Outage since 12pm. What is going on

  • dishesrdone74 Chris Denton (@dishesrdone74) reported

    @virginmedia my skysports app is not working. It asks me to sign in then verify my email address then won't let me in? Help please.

  • aquarius16th Neil Walley💙🇺🇦 (@aquarius16th) reported

    @virginmedia having completed the recent security update, I am unable to login to skysports app via the virginmedia 'button' on my android tablet as the link is not working. Any ideas?
