    @virginmedia after having my email hacked and new password not working, you tell me you’ll get back to me in 3 to 5 days!! How is this compatible with modern day communications? Just not good enough!

  • 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?

  • salfordbeerfest Independent Salford Beer Festival 💙 (@salfordbeerfest) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Now showing estimated "fix" time of 16:00. 21 hours without "service". This. Is. Not. Funny.

  • 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

  • Libra_Comms Ali Gudgeon 💙 (@Libra_Comms) reported from Preston, England

    @virginmedia have come home from work to find my internet is down and remains down. Are there any issues in PR2 9TT?

  • shanereeves1982 shane reeves (@shanereeves1982) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia Must be some issue been off since about 10 am but yet internet not affected

  • salfordbeerfest Independent Salford Beer Festival 💙 (@salfordbeerfest) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia That doesn't tell me anything. Just that the engineers ".. are working hard to fix it....." The service has been down since 7 last night. And no idea when it will be fixed. With zero redress after 4 incidents in a little over a week. Poor.

  • salfordbeerfest Independent Salford Beer Festival 💙 (@salfordbeerfest) reported from Bolton, England

    @johntweedie @frednfrank I've switched the router to Modem to get the signal to the 2nd floor loft. Allied to the self installed mesh network, that works well. The signal isn't now the issue. Being without services from @virginmedia 3 times in just over a week, is.

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

    Its been a pain in the *** with broadband down all day working from home. But now no Joy of Painting with Bob Ross! It's not the despair that gets me down, it's the hope #virginmedia

  • salfordbeerfest Independent Salford Beer Festival 💙 (@salfordbeerfest) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia If does now. 12:00. That's 17 hours without service.

  • salfordbeerfest Independent Salford Beer Festival 💙 (@salfordbeerfest) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia ANOTHER outage in BL4 9LR area? Are you kidding me? That's the fourth in just over a week. And the second today!

  • PIL0TPEDR0 Pete Best (Pil0t Pedr0)💙 (@PIL0TPEDR0) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia How long before the Internet problem is sorted out in the BL1 area going to take?

  • 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

  • salfordbeerfest Independent Salford Beer Festival 💙 (@salfordbeerfest) reported from Bolton, England

    @johntweedie @frednfrank @virginmedia It may be 30 years old. Strangely, with BT (Cable), Sky (wired), never had issues.

  • 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.

  • PIL0TPEDR0 Pete Best (Pil0t Pedr0)💙 (@PIL0TPEDR0) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia BL1 2NJ Still having problems with disconnecting and connecting, been like this for 4 hours. I have reset my router numerous times

  • Sharpy_G Sharpy (@Sharpy_G) reported

    @virginmedia Honestly this says very little for long standing existing customers and cashing in on the pandemic #WorkFromHome situation by also instigating broadband price hikes for them is pretty poor #virginmedia #poorcustomerservice

  • vforvelvetta V (@vforvelvetta) reported

    @virginmedia We've checked the service link (doesn't show any issues) + contacted support but haven't heard back about anything specific in the area. No idea what could be wrong, but it's affecting the whole household.

  • ZarahFrostt Frosty Knickers (@ZarahFrostt) reported

    @virginmedia Yes tried that and still not working. This has been a common occurrence since we have been with virgin media. It's so frustrating too as it interrupts a lot of important stuff

  • Egborne1 Egborne (@Egborne1) reported

    @virginmedia now I've just spoken to a woman who had the worst quality line ever who has asked the same questions as the other woman and has now put me on hold, not heard anything for 5 minutes

  • jeffdance1 . (@jeffdance1) reported

    @virginmedia I didn't have a package change. I've still got the same package. My contract was for £44 a month and I've got a rolling £9 managers voucher to bring my bill down to £35. I changed address and paid the £35 fee separately

  • 1tappleby Thomas Appleby (@1tappleby) reported

    @virginmedia Experiencing serious broadband performance issue for the past 11 days. 2 phone calls, 1 complaint, 3 hours wasted on the phone and zero progress. I have all the facts I need to cancel and claim money back unless someone from @virginmedia cares enough to contact me?

  • ClareBullock Clare Bullock (@ClareBullock) reported

    @virginmedia Really poor customer service yet again. I have been passed round 5 departments, no help at all and after 2 hours waiting on the phone I have now been cut off. Please could a customer service manager call me. #CustomerService #shambles #Unacceptable

  • Emma_Palmee Emma_palmee (@Emma_Palmee) reported

    @virginmedia And here we go again. No internet no phone no tv. When will this be back SO16? I'm getting sick and tired of this. Do we get at least a month free as this is your issue!!!!!!

  • HolliexSage Hollie Oconnell (@HolliexSage) reported

    @virginmedia been trying to get online support for over a week via live chat without any luck, how can we get support?

  • semmysonic Craig (@semmysonic) reported

    @virginmedia why does your app never connect to the hub. Worked to set it up but now can't find it!
