  • envyas94 N (@envyas94) reported

    @virginmedia Can someone check what’s happening in her area, your website now shoes that the issue has been resolved. Her postcode is en2 8dl

  • thepeterhunt Peter Hunt • CDG • CSA • (@thepeterhunt) reported

    @virginmedia Numerous issues with the TV box… not recording series links but right now TV guide all channels ‘to be announced’ and ‘title not available’

  • TheBlowfish TheBlowfish (@TheBlowfish) reported

    @virginmedia Yeah. Its a known issue in the area. It just seems no one is getting on with really fixing it. Probably because it's Avonline as the contractor, rather than virgin.

  • jinglejenny2 @jinglejenny (@jinglejenny2) reported

    @virginmedia Yes checked . You even ran tests on my equipment when tv/Internet was both down and told me there was nothing wrong ??

  • ampieboy David Ampleford (@ampieboy) reported

    @virginmedia Its a pretty simple fix as I can see who provides your bot platform. The staff member handling my complaint didn’t apologise and instead told me they’d email me a response. This wasn’t quite what I expected. I was told today a Manager would contact me back.

  • OliviaHirst Olivia (@OliviaHirst) reported

    @virginmedia Residential customer, moving house and do not want to continue with virgin

  • binnyfox Binnyfox (@binnyfox) reported

    @virginmedia If you check out my previous tweets you will see this is a known problem here…. Since JAN!! So we’re paying for a service that isn’t being delivered….

  • onearmedjohn Onearmedjohn (@onearmedjohn) reported

    @virginmedia Well, I don’t get to speak to anyone. Your service tells me they need to send a signal to restart my box and then cuts me off. On the rare occasions I’ve spoken to someone in the past they just tell me to restart my box which fixes it temporarily until the next time.

  • tomwalsh77 Tom Walsh (@tomwalsh77) reported

    @virginmedia Yeah the install has been done but this really ****** up my day. All I hear from Virgin is sorry for this and sorry for that but sorry doesn’t mean anything when you keep delivering poor service.

  • Andy_THKF Andy THKF (@Andy_THKF) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, there is an issue, one u couldn't inform us of in a text when you're happy to text about random stuff we don't care about. A service issue in my area doesn't exactly help when it comes to my job + when we're in a Lockdown, I can't simply go to a friends!! Such a bad service
