Graeme Radebe (@Radebreast) reported from Ormskirk, England@virginmedia Hi - Ive noticed alot of people are having the same issues. Its the Sky TV Go app on Playstation 4. Ive checked it on another internet and it works fine so it is definitely an error on your side. You need to sort the internet settings. It struggles to load “on Now” on the app.

GreenWasBlue (@GreenwasBlue) reported from Bolton, England@virginmedia I've tried the online help to no avail.Just going round in circles. How do I get to book a visit by a human being?? 😡
-
Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England@virginmedia 38 days after the repull should’ve been done? You think that’s good customer service?
-

-
Richard Foster (@fos100) reported from New Longton, EnglandWho in their right mind schedules planned maintenance for a Monday morning and says it could go on until three pm? Oh yeah, @virginmedia - cracking service as always #workfromhome #muppets
-
Adam (@agarnett) reported from Wigan, England@virginmedia Is there any way to tell if there are signal issues in your area? This says i should get 4g indoors and outdoors, i dont though i can barely access mobile internet from my house. Last 3 months have been awful
-

-
strange little Flo (@FloButcher84) reported from Blackburn, England@virginmedia still no broadband in bb3 area since Thurs & update now says tomorrow for fix. Shocking customer service, why can't you tell your customers what is happening instead of saying an engineer is on the way on the updates, at least then we would know what to expect
-
Elisabeth Hilton (@elisabethhilto4) reported from Lowton, England@virginmedia Trying to make a complaint - signed up to a deal I clearly asked not to be. Your website doesn’t work and can’t get through on the phone. Can someone please dm me with a way to speak to someone urgently
-
Baxy (@Baxy2001) reported from Wigan, England@virginmedia please can you explain why I have been in a queue to speak to someone for over 35 minutes to try and cancel my contract? Absolute joke of a company, poor services and poor customer service.
-
Ian Hawksey (@ShanklyBob77) reported from Aintree Village, EnglandAbsolute nightmare trying to watch @SkySportsF1 on my phone because of how poor @virginmedia are especially since merging with @o2, used to just put email and password in, now going around in circles with same message asking me to verify email link and switch, very poor practice.
-
Richard Foster (@fos100) reported from New Longton, England@virginmedia That just wants me to upgrade my package; I just want to order the pods. Why is the website so poor?
-
Wightpie (@wightpie) reported from Blackburn, England@virginmedia So why then a) does it specify postal and b) not provide a field for mobile number. At best it’s misleading and at worst incompetent
-
🥔 A bean has no name 🥔 (@ylilxanoi) reported from Wigan, England@virginmedia Internet is down in our area since Monday. I keep getting multiple emails saying it'll be fixed by 12pm tomorrow, then 4pm Wednesday 12pm Thursday, 12pm Friday and now 4pm Friday. None of your call centre staff can help us we've spent hours on hold this week.
