  • Cuttsrich rich cutts (@Cuttsrich) reported from Tyldesley, England

  • MariaMcCool Maria McCool Davis (@MariaMcCool) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia one of my landlords has increased speed to 200mg in a property in L15 3JY but the speed still remains at 300kb. Is there a problem in the area?

  • DallasCowboysMV Michael Vix (@DallasCowboysMV) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia no internet M29 status pages say no problem. Restarted hub and not coming online.

  • CharlieIDIC IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia what’s the point of that message us part in the app you never answer it asks me every day if I still need help and says I’m going to be transferred then I never get anywhere

  • Chris_Hall1312 Chris Hall (@Chris_Hall1312) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia A bot service? 🙈 I can’t even get my issue resolved with human interaction so I would stand no chance with a bot!! Can you send me the best email / telephone number to use for your complaints team please? Thanks This is poor @richardbranson

  • Cuttsrich rich cutts (@Cuttsrich) reported from Tyldesley, England

    @virginmedia Yes so I can expect 24 hr loss of service. 2nd time in a week. What remuneration are you offering for this loss of service?

  • jurrjurrtbull GRT 🪐 (@jurrjurrtbull) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia The transfer is still processing I believe but the wifi is still down

  • TerryBpne Crazy Corner (@TerryBpne) reported from Walton le Dale, England

    @MintyPNE @virginmedia Yes, camera angle awful. Went for the defer season ticket option to next year, so could have had ifollow tonight, but that has hardly been reliable. Still we are winning!

  • buggadog homer t bugga (@buggadog) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia after 72hrs dealing with online customer services, all I’m gettin is pleasantries and no solutions. Intermittent broadband for weeks, can I start paying you intermittently?

  • StetheH Ste the H ⚽️🥊 (@StetheH) reported from Liverpool, England

    Set the @virginmedia hub 4 up and is performing worse than the previous. Watching the boxing via sky go and keeps stalling and buffering. Also before when checked the speed it was 20mb when pay for 100mb. Waste of money as never get what pay for.

  • RB10__ rafik (@RB10__) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia virgin go app down again

  • jurrjurrtbull GRT 🪐 (@jurrjurrtbull) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia It says it’s fine in my area, maybe it’s the account transferring over. I can’t even sign in yet to see either :(

  • Cuttsrich rich cutts (@Cuttsrich) reported from Tyldesley, England

    Mmm @virginmedia wifi down again for the third day in over a week. Any chance anyone can help here

  • Liam_Hawksey Goth Scouser (@Liam_Hawksey) reported from Haydock, England

    @virginmedia How come new customers (including my next door neighbours) can get 1gig broadband but I can’t get it as an existing customer? The site keeps telling me the 350mb is the fastest available when it isn’t?

  • courtsthomasx 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐀𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐚 (@courtsthomasx) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia My Broadband has been down for quite a few days now. I have no received any text updates and would like to speak to somebody with regards to down time and to get an ETA of when it should be back up and running.

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

    @virginmedia absolutely regret going with you. Nothing but trouble ever since we joined 😤🤬

  • SynysterZero1 Synyster Zero - Mafia (Definitive Edition) (@SynysterZero1) reported from Liverpool, England

  • steven_rothwell steven rothwell (@steven_rothwell) reported from Hindley, England

  • RichardUnstead Richard Unstead (@RichardUnstead) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for replying, there is a better deal but as a loyal customer since the Telewest days it's not open to me. I'd be content with anything I'd consider fair, even if it were slightly more but £71 vs. £35.99 .... There must be a middle ground.

  • stew_howard Stewart Howard (@stew_howard) reported

    @virginmedia @btsport why can't I watch BTSport1 on my android device via the virgin tv go app? I am getting a rights restriction message. I pay for the service so should be able to watch all programmes irrespective of the device being used.

  • AriehMiller Arieh Miller (@AriehMiller) reported

    @virginmedia Yeh, I've booked an engineer. Seems the key is to call 3 times for the same issue.

  • MelSharpe1 Mel Sharpe (@MelSharpe1) reported

    @virginmedia Not till tomorrow afternoon Hope you cancel my bill this month. Terrible service . I need my internet to work some people work on a Sunday

  • DaydreamPainter Tamas Toth (@DaydreamPainter) reported

    @virginmedia They don’t do any checks. Your call centre staff is trained to get rid of customers so they don’t reach the managers or file a complaint. I’ve recorded them lying.

  • GxcciDemon Ben Pimblett (@GxcciDemon) reported

    @virginmedia really do have the worst internet hahaha

  • AdyJ Adrian Japp (@AdyJ) reported

    @virginmedia Broadband still at @ 2Mb/s instead of 500Mb/s since early Friday evening. Virgin cancelled the engineer appt for Monday stating known network issues. When will this be fixed? Not good enough.

  • MelSharpe1 Mel Sharpe (@MelSharpe1) reported

    @virginmedia So you want me to use more of my data . You are having a laugh. As I say great service

  • RichardUnstead Richard Unstead (@RichardUnstead) reported

    @paullloyd1 @virginmedia I am in the exact same position, retain your customers through great service, don't hold them to ransom. Be bold, be different. Don't resort to these tactics please.
