    @InTheseHeels Have you tried turning it on and off again? .....OK in all seriousness it happens to me on my LAN . I concluded as I'm on a domestic connection, Virgin Media , I suspect they refresh the network to loose dormant connections periodically and I get booted off for a few secs

  • steevXIII Steve Tovey (@steevXIII) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia Hi. Please read the thread. One App doesn't work properly, my TV box is generally fine. From a quick Google I can see it is a problem for other people with Virgin Media TiVo boxes too where the @All4 app doesn't load programmes. I can access the app and all the menu screens.

  • theresahiggins Theresa Higgins (@theresahiggins) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia I am not the only one in my area with a problem. Any idea when it will be resolved.

  • theresahiggins Theresa Higgins (@theresahiggins) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia how long will it take to fix my internet connection. CO1 area. Main problem is a slow speed for emails.

  • 2FingersRampant 2 Fingers Rampant (@2FingersRampant) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia service completely out at CO2 8QA and local area. Status page says all ok, so can you explain this please. Urgent work priority.

  • theresahiggins Theresa Higgins (@theresahiggins) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia Sorry, I have done as above. It is still agonisingly slow. Cannot access emails properly. Cannot send attachments. It is the broadband that is the problem. TV is fine.

  • Laitty Graeson Laitt (@Laitty) reported from Colchester, England

    Great time for my internet to go down again. Third time this week @virginmedia #colu

  • theresahiggins Theresa Higgins (@theresahiggins) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia TV and phone are fine. It is the broadband that is still slow despite the reset.

  • steevXIII Steve Tovey (@steevXIII) reported from Colchester, England

    Anyone else have a problem with All4 app on @virginmedia Can access the menu / home page but anytime I try to actually watch a programme I get a black screen & 4 dots endlessly blinking, as if buffering, but the show never, eeeevveerrr appears... On Googling, seems common issue?

  • oneandonlySon1 The Son (@oneandonlySon1) reported

    @Emmalouh501 @virginmedia Mine was more down than up for 2 weeks about a month ago. Awful. My TV is via broadband and you know what kids are like with phones/tablets etc. Engineer out and fitted some connection into line. Think an engineer unplugged something at the box to get new cust online. Pricks

  • JWILSON990 James Wilson (@JWILSON990) reported

    @LeePartridge16 @Eorganorgan @virginmedia The simple answer is to cancel. Virgin/NTL/cable and wireless/Nynex/blue yonder are all massive ripoffs and I never looked back.

  • Shaun1878_ Shaun (@Shaun1878_) reported

    @virginmedia Your customer service is absolutely disgraceful. I've been trying to get in touch about our new router constantly losing connection with devices for the last 9 days since we set it up, and I can't get through to anyone! Really not happy
