Anyone else on @virginmedia getting “To Be Announced” on virtually every channel. Tried rebooting, switching on and off. Strikes me that VM has gone to shit recently. Loads of channels have gone, close to sacking it off.

@virginmedia over the last few years virgin media internet has got worse the people that work in the call centres are so abrupt and rude I’ve called approximately 10 in the last 5 months and still have a intermittent fault on my internet service !!!!

@virginmedia Every single day for the last week my router just turns itself off and starts to update or drops out completely. Paying a lot of money for this service and it just isn’t good enough.

If @virginmedia offer you a 6 month free upgrade do not accept it. It is a way of locking you into a further contract. Poor service as always

@virginmedia @honestlyhelen I've had similar feelings, my bill has rocketed by £11 per month over the last few months for my TV only service as Virgin only offer discounts now for multi package deals, loyalty no longer rewarded it seems 🤔

Nice one @virginmedia I've missed all the 2nd half of the match now. No BB, no Tivo. And your still billing me a higher rate than was agreed when I did the tests which say no issues in my area. Tried resets.

@virginmedia I need someone to contact me immediately as I need to make a serious complaint about service. Completely ready to escalate to higher management as this incompetence of this company is a disgrace

Shoutout to @vmbusiness who after 5 days told me to reset my router and have now told me they will simply continue to monitor the problem. No stream until NationWars now where we pray it’s going to be better.

@MrChrisWynn @Simon21ne @virginmedia @nowtvhelp @SkyHelpTeam I managed one week before cancelling! Sky says I have so many devices that it’s slowing the hub down, in 2019 that’s piss poor

@virginmedia The person that put me on hold said it looked like there was a problem in our area and tried to put me through to technical help but after music droning on for ages it just stopped. Have given up and watching a dvd instead

@virginmedia This lithium service you use is to get people off social media. It obfuscates and is unable to resolve anything. I'll take my chance in the legal system and with independent ombudsman.

16 mins on hold to @virginmedia before I got through to someone who said she needed to transfer me to another department, the recorded message of that department said the number no longer exists and gave me the original phone number to ring! Some customer service that!!!

Another shocking customer experience from @virginmedia no wonder @richardbranson sold out! Let’s see if they respond….I’m guessing not.

@virginmedia Hi there, yeah I've checked that already, there are no broadband issues. There are TV issues, but not broadband. The bill has been paid, but it still appears to be showing on my account too?

My wifi is down and @virginmedia engineer can’t come until Friday 30th. What on earth am I supposed to do for the rest of the week?!

@virginmedia They have all been shutdown. You have only ever apologised and never addressed the actual complaint. I cannot even speak to the person who said she could sort it out…. Useless system…

(@danielmcavoy) reported
@virginmedia So it's not a specific issue it's just a case of your network not being up to scratch? Your signal map shows 4G in all these areas so clearly something's not right.

What is going on? Internet and TV have been down for 3 days now. SORT IT OUT! @virginmedia @VirginMedia_TV #virginmediadown

@mi6rogue It's out of an old Virgin Media set-top box. The metal part sticking out is where the proprietary connector fits to receive your cable. The COV-19 has been engraved to the PCB. This video is one of the worst I've seen and single digit IQ's will absolutely fall for it.

@virginmedia No, there was an issue with a Direct debit which was sorted. The payment was made but it still appears to be on my account.
