    Hi @virginmedia, I’m trying to order some pods to sort out my truly shocking Wi-Fi, but can’t work out how to do so. Please could you help me?

  • lewishorsey92
    Lewis Horsfield (@lewishorsey92) reported from Warton, England

    @virginmedia your internet is ******* **** paying all this money for your internet service to go down at least once a week. Absolutely shite

  • Elle83
    Michelle E (@Elle83) reported from Walton le Dale, England

    @virginmedia why does my super hub 3 keep resetting my WiFi password. I’m having to change it through settings every other day because it keeps defaulting back to the security key, this is causing major issues

  • Miss_Defying
    Rebecca Harrisson (@Miss_Defying) reported from Ormskirk, England

    @VodafoneUK I'm not sure... as far as I can tell it's a @virginmedia issue. But you may be able to help. No one on Vodafone can call our virgin landline. It just beeps or says the number and code combination isn't recognised.

  • Knitswithbeer
    knitswithbeer🐝🏳️‍🌈Stay Home (@Knitswithbeer) reported from Euxton, England

    So, apparently been without all @virginmedia service ahain today, without warning, when Hubbs was supposed to be working from home. No projected resolution until 10pm; WTF am I paying for? Seriously?? 🤬🤬🤬

  • LeylandDavid
    David Gardner (@LeylandDavid) reported from Leyland, England

    @virginmedia Reported the problem yesterday after your response. Should have been fixed by 10am today apparently, but still nothing.

  • SammyKnowlesX
    SJK (@SammyKnowlesX) reported from Banks, England

    @virginmedia please can I have a direct contact for complaints. I don’t want a generic email, I want someone higher to sort out the same issue I am having every month 😤😡🤬

  • Adzcantsing
    Adz can't sing (@Adzcantsing) reported from Penwortham, England

    @virginmedia useless we are trying to cancel and for past 2 weeks now since we have moved home. We have been pushed from pillar to post, been laughed at by customer service. Since we moved we have we've been promised someone will come and sort it.

  • mgsevs
    sevs66 (@mgsevs) reported from Kirkham, England

    @MeNigeStew I'm with @virginmedia suffering for decent coverage in parts of the house & despite trying a pod (which has yet to work btw) wifi extenders (which fight with the main router) & 2 engineer visits I'm still suffering. Having full TV as well not sure how broadband price breaks down

  • fos100
    Richard Foster (@fos100) reported from New Longton, England

    Who 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

  • mgsevs
    sevs66 (@mgsevs) reported from Kirkham, England

    @virginmedia @1862_TwoPies Cut and paste Cut and paste Cut and paste That is NOT customer service even if you fake it to be

  • Elisabet0490
    🪷Elisabet🪷 (@Elisabet0490) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia my internet has been suffering drop outs all day, now I have no working TV or internet. Being told it's my equipment when it never is, it's getting old that excuse. I will apparently have to wait 3 days for "an engineer to come out" - I can't I have to go to work 😤

  • LawAspi
    TheAspiLawStudent #NoReturns (@LawAspi) reported from Chorley, England

    @nerdscav @the_hinchy @virginmedia Yes because a WiFi extender will fix the issue when it's the incoming line and not the hardware 😳. The routers gives a 3ping and 1GBps connection. The issue is virgin's crappy network 👍

    Rebecca Harrisson (@Miss_Defying) reported from Ormskirk, England

    @virginmedia Someone else has called me since and had said she's going to call me back and look into it. But I was just so frustrated with the way he spoke to me. I'm not one for just googling random sites but this was on one of your forums and it's the exact same issue!

    @virginmedia I've been waiting for 35 mins for somebody to answer my call. VM CS is awful. I can't log into my account. I get a message to enter my email. I do this. I get sent and email. I click on the link and it starts the same process again. Can somebody please HELP!!

  • Ana1Atkinson
    Ana Atkinson (@Ana1Atkinson) reported

    @virginmedia we currently have no broadband, no tv and no landline. When I checked the service status, it says phone is ok, so I’m unable to register that we have no landline?

  • _dAveFletcher_
    dAve Fletcher 🦉 (@_dAveFletcher_) reported

    @virginmedia Maybe it's just premiers that I can't watch, The Bride, The Running Man etc.... I can watch older stuff. That's poor form!

  • WimpingEgo
    WimpingEgo (@WimpingEgo) reported

    @virginmedia You say you have identified the problem & an engineer is on their way, but shocking nothing has been fixed it fixed date went from the 18th to 20th to 26 to the 21th then to 26th to 29th and now its the 5th. I'm paying for 1 Gig and get 40mb.

  • MacTech2023
    Simon's Mac Tech 2026 (@MacTech2023) reported

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia All calls are recorded so a complaint would be upheld if any of th things people are saying is actually true.

  • ProfChocCaXe
    ProfessorChocolateCaXe (@ProfChocCaXe) reported

    @PeteUK7 @olivetreedogs @virginmedia You believe in a fake "disease" with an almost 100% survival rate, the microscopic number of people who DID die had serious underlying health conditions anyway (notable example: George Floyd), that had "no symptoms" list as a symptom but you would still get anyway even if you were vaccinated from people who weren't vaccinated and was so "dangerous" that the entire economy had to shut down and everyone would be forced to stay at home unless they were out rioting for BLM.

    @virginmedia Internet down in PA2 again. Third time in two weeks !

  • freeITstafford
    Free I.T. Stafford (@freeITstafford) reported

    @JamieGBarry @virginmedia I tried that trick, and they told me my address will be stored and I'll always be classed as "existing" even if I moved provider then came back, so I would never be eligible for a "new customer" deal. The only way to be a "new customer" is to move house and recontract.

    @Grumpus04164070 @PeteUK7 @virginmedia After my father died, one company said ‘we’ll keep his customer account on file, in case he wants to reopen his account’.
