  • robinsontonyLIR be kind and be nice. (@robinsontonyLIR) reported from Colchester, England

    @InTheseHeels Have you tried turning it on and off again? .....OK in all seriousness it happens to me on my LAN . I concluded as I'm on a domestic connection, Virgin Media , I suspect they refresh the network to loose dormant connections periodically and I get booted off for a few secs

  • theresahiggins Theresa Higgins (@theresahiggins) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia I will try again by unplugging the router etc. However other people living near me are also experiencing problems. It is not just me.

  • theresahiggins Theresa Higgins (@theresahiggins) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia Sort of, but I had trouble logging in as it uses an old email address that I no longer use.

  • theresahiggins Theresa Higgins (@theresahiggins) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia I am using my laptop, tablet and phone. Emails are slow on all machines.

    @virginmedia Your staff should put the customer first pass the enquiry to another team member take break late or offer a call back

  • theresahiggins Theresa Higgins (@theresahiggins) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia how long will it take to fix my internet connection. CO1 area. Main problem is a slow speed for emails.

  • Griggsy1968 Mark Griggs (@Griggsy1968) reported from Colchester, England

  • OooitstheMarsh Sarah Marsh (@OooitstheMarsh) reported

    @virginmedia No support received, raised a complaint, no response in over 24 hours. Literally customer services just pass you round and round, possibly the worst customer services I have ever come across. Now passing my compliant to OFCOM. You should not be selling services you cannot provide

  • changethechoon DILLIGAF 😈🇬🇧🇮🇪🇪🇺🏴‍☠️💙 (@changethechoon) reported

    @DawgDogter @peterkay_co_uk O2 priority, you cN get presale tickets if o2 customer. Same for virgin media I believe.

  • bluerage_13 Darryl Souness (@bluerage_13) reported

    ******* joking me, @virginmedia fibre broadband is down again, your service is utter clown shoes.

  • sahinbrum Steve Horne (@sahinbrum) reported

    @virginmedia Never managed to get anywhere near tickets. The O2 app crashed all day. Won't bother in the future and the apps now deleted. Usually priority means you can buy tickets before general sale. Not releasing a few priority tickets beforehand. Absolute con.

  • hdso Angela Clarke (@hdso) reported

    @virginmedia @dadbegg Been trying to get on since 9.30 this morning … never even got in, just throwing me out every time. Not happy 😠

  • Passs_Judgement Pass (🉑) Judgement (@Passs_Judgement) reported

    @virginmedia @alisoncoia Appalling service. I’ve tried all day and it first wouldn’t sign me in, sat in a loop and it claimed 504 bad gateway. Shocking service.

  • brighton_spur Worthing Spur 🐓 (@brighton_spur) reported

    @virginmedia Gave up and moving on. Shame but please look at your customer services. It's really poor. Good luck.

  • zeelfc786 Que ? (@zeelfc786) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve never a bunch of incompetent workers in my life along with virgin media - absolutely disgusting behaviour, have been without broadband for a 4 weeks now with vulnerable people at home @Ofcom @CISASUK can you please get involved

  • Outhalf Odran OBrien (@Outhalf) reported

    @virginmedia @VirginMediaIE You have Hugh Cahill commenting who thinks there's a midfield in Rugby Union and subs instead of Replacements the guy hasn't a clue. And thank you for answering. I would have no other issues with your station

  • DebbieBetteridg Debbie Betteridge (@DebbieBetteridg) reported

    @O2 @virginmedia that’s it. Enough is enough your service is questionable. Coverage terrible. Priority not existent. Maybe time to change network.
