    @virginmedia Shameful… latest update, we hope to resolve the issue by 4pm tomorrow! That’ll be over 24 hours down and you’ll still expect your money! Awesome service 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

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

    @virginmedia He swapped out the router said that solved a bit of the issue but speeds still not as expected then said he would have to book a longer appointment to figure out the issue so he went. Waiting for another appointment

  • shazzawarrior18 Sharon Wilmot (@shazzawarrior18) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Still the same issue had another text update to say all fixed but it's not still nothing #notimpressed

  • Krys_yogi Ada Yoga🧘🏾‍♀️ (@Krys_yogi) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia you guys are really ***************. What's with the network outage?? Please fix this!

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

    @virginmedia Every time it fails I have never been asked to do a reset. The last time they checked their system and sent an engineer who put attenuation on it as the jitter was high and the system showed a fault their end

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

    @virginmedia I need to make a complaint and submit my bill for time wasted with tests that show me what I already know….it’s faulty and has been on and off for a long time and each fix doesn’t fix it

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

    @virginmedia can you remind me the link for customer complaints please. Engineer lied, lost working time now still not right and I refuse to keep paying when I’m not getting a steady working internet let alone at the volt speeds as advertised

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

    @virginmedia The team have booked an engineer but advised changes on router settings that have made it a bit better until the engineer can fix it properly

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

    @virginmedia They’ve sent a signal to it which they say will fix it but it’s even worse now

  • Phil_Donoghue1 Phil Donoghue (@Phil_Donoghue1) reported from Leigh, England

    @virginmedia you literally must be THE most unreliable failing ISP in all the land… Yet another outage which you laughably call “improving our network” and you’ve never provided even half the speed we pay for. About time OFCOM held this company to book!

  • Krys_yogi Ada Yoga🧘🏾‍♀️ (@Krys_yogi) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Just seen an update that there's an issue in the area. How long is this gon take to fix? Some of us have work and need to be online. This is rather frustrating

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

    @virginmedia are useless fixing an area so they break your broadband then get you to do lots of useless tests that show the same thing then ask for a reset that will not fix anything

  • mrmrjarrold Matthew Jarrold (@mrmrjarrold) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia hi I’m having problem with tv and internet service in L25 but you aren’t accepting incoming calls?? What to do?

  • supergran22 Maureen StewartJones (@supergran22) reported from Eccleston, England

    @virginmedia Connection problem with Apps. Phone & told to give no. underneath box. Difficult 2 bend down, hold box & phone. How can there b a problem when the TV in other room is working? Sick of having a text to do it myself or ask 4 tech help from someone who can't help.

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

    @virginmedia I don’t want to talk to an Indian call centre going off a script I want a reasonable human who doesn’t work from a script and can help me

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

    @virginmedia offer volt speeds of 350 paying for 200 getting 60ish it’s ridiculous I’ve spent hours sending them proof when jitter high they think resetting it all and spending more hours getting everything back up will work and I don’t it’s only been this bad this time since

  • miteamshirts Chrissie Fuller (@miteamshirts) reported from Chorley, England

    Re Virgin Media Live TV outage. Internet still working as is Netflix, Amazon Prime and My Recordings. Catch-up/binge day!!

  • shazzawarrior18 Sharon Wilmot (@shazzawarrior18) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Yep shows outrage and estimated fix time which varies then text and email to say fixed but still nothing had 15 messages to say fixed one a few seconds ago but it's not and still showing outrage on the app hard to check this when no services very disappointed with the service

  • supergran22 Maureen StewartJones (@supergran22) reported from Eccleston, England

    @virginmedia @primevideosport told me my TV not connected to Internet which it is. Was working and then wasn't. Now working but really sick of reoccurring problems when my @primevideosport goes off & told it's an Internet problem. If Internet problem wouldn't I lose everything?

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

    @virginmedia Looks like your engineer told me he would book a follow up appointment then didn’t bother. Your customer service lately and ability to provide a service are very lacking

  • stu_mather_ Stu Mather (@stu_mather_) reported

    @virginmedia hi, services down again in se26, happening every few days and has been for weeks - what is happening?

  • JoshProtoMerch Josh 🇺🇦 (@JoshProtoMerch) reported

    @virginmedia I’m still waiting for someone to get back to me from my last complaint. I have given up with you guys. All that’s left for me to do is obtain recordings from you of the conversations we have had, as you never resolved my complaint. I’ll share these online and then cancel

  • BreadthFish Breadth of Fish Hair (@BreadthFish) reported

    Hey @virginmedia can anyone help? I need to get the email for my new account verified but I can’t get an email sent to it to get it verified (the original one timed out on me). Now I can’t pass account security to talk to anyone and it’s going to take 6 days to get a letter!

  • LaurelleFox Laurelle Fox (@LaurelleFox) reported

    @virginmedia Please help! I work from home and my router sparked and died. I can't work without Internet and i have 2 newborn babies, one on oxygen so that spark could have been incredibly dangerous. An automated voice recording said a technician won't be out until Saturday.

  • sub_virk Sub Singh (@sub_virk) reported

    @virginmedia customer service cannot be trusted. In January I agreed to an 18 month contract at £29 per month and today on phoning them they said I was not on that contract. They say they have fixed it now but no email confirmation received so not fixed!!

  • stu_mather_ Stu Mather (@stu_mather_) reported

    @virginmedia Done that and registered the loss of service. I guess what i’m asking is what is the issue that keeps causing these outages and is going to get fixed anytime soon?

  • pettifet lester pettifer (@pettifet) reported

    @virginmedia is there is any issues with internet in SN3 postcode area? This is the 3rd time in a fortnight it’s gone off and as I work from work not brilliant today the least and now thinking of going back to sky ad better internet by a country mile

  • patsiebusbridge Patsie Busbridge (@patsiebusbridge) reported

    @virginmedia After a call to customer services because my Hub 5 will not connect to the internet, the advisor told me i'd be receiving a text and that it would be up and running within 2 hours. 14 hours later, no text and still no net. Can you help get this resolved please?

  • Craigzeh Craigzeh (@Craigzeh) reported

    @virginmedia Who do I contact in regards to placing a complaint about not one, but two members of staff who have lied to me during my package renewal? I've spent far too long on the phone with you and it's becoming a joke that your staff feel it's ok to lie to customers!

  • avaris15 Mark Pascall (@avaris15) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve spoken to 4 people now, each of them either completely unhelpful or promising something and not delivering. If I call that number again, am I able to speak to somebody more senior who can deal with my issue? Thanks.
