    @virginmedia I have done all of this multiple times and nothing has come up. Today has been particularly bad where I lose signal every 5 minutes. I don’t need to keep doing the troubleshooting steps, I need a new router or an engineer

    @virginmedia your phone lines are never answered your online chat is not responding or resolving my issues which have been on going since October. I can’t work from home!!!

  • leeradcliffe73
    lee Radcliffe (@leeradcliffe73) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia @virginhelp how long do I have to keep paying you a fortune for a terrible internet service which only works when you’re sat next to the router. Crap service as per usual😡😡

  • Danzy92
    Craig (@Danzy92) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia wifi issues for over a week. Run test every day for it to just say there’s some issue in your area. When will this be fixed? Costing me money to commute somewhere where I can get wifi and disrupting my work.

    @virginmedia Im only unwilling to use the chat as after today’s conversation by phone with the 2 departments I got told could sort out my issue & they couldn’t I am emotionally broken.

    @virginmedia Funny how you don’t boast about your crap customer service.

  • formula1girl
    Sarah-Jane Finch (@formula1girl) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia I cancelled in July (which apparently you have no record of) so I contacted you in Sept when you threatened to cut my service off, that I wasn’t using anymore, and told you I’d cancelled. I’m not paying this!! Absolutely ridiculous!!

  • Rob_Mcgimpsey
    Rob Mcgimpsey (@Rob_Mcgimpsey) reported from Romsey, England

    @virginmedia You’re not helping. You’re asking the same questions you ask every day. Yes, complaint raised. No, Virgin have given no reason why they keep cancelling. Next you’ll tell me you can’t do anything to help, which is exactly what your customer services say

  • formula1girl
    Sarah-Jane Finch (@formula1girl) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia I “chatted” last week. Your only solution was me paying for a service I cancelled. I “chatted” yesterday to both departments that could apparently help. Neither could unless I paid for a service I cancelled. More chat? Which department this time??

  • bengood82788338
    Ben Goodwin (@bengood82788338) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia I have not been able to connect to the Internet for well over 48 hours now, can't work, watch TV or even listen to the radio as no 4g or 5g signal at home. Not happy

  • rahim94
    Rahim™ 🇬🇧🇲🇦 (@rahim94) reported from Southampton, England

    I'm gonna summarise 2 things I've developed a verdict on since my tv broke down. the @virginmedia app for windows = perfect. works great. the @SkySports app for windows = ******* horrendus! i dont understand why sky sports needs a separate app to watch them

  • Rob_Mcgimpsey
    Rob Mcgimpsey (@Rob_Mcgimpsey) reported from Romsey, England

    @virginmedia This has already been dealt with yea, we’re continuing just because it feels as if we’ve waited too long to cancel now. Plus, Virgin are crediting me £5.35 for every day of delay that they’ve caused (55 days and counting).

  • leeradcliffe73
    lee Radcliffe (@leeradcliffe73) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginhelp my WiFi is terrible apart from when I’m sat right next to it and @virginmedia have been no help. kids are struggling to do their home schooling

  • formula1girl
    Sarah-Jane Finch (@formula1girl) reported from Eastleigh, England

    @virginmedia what a surprise, even after cancelling my service with you I’m still getting bills!!! I cannot believe your customer service is awful even after leaving.

  • Mr_PaintPots
    David Wright (@Mr_PaintPots) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia Thank you for responding, one of your team has now picked this up so fingers crossed someone gets in touch. Why have you made it so difficult to get support? Can you not provide an obvious option on your website please?

  • JFeathjav
    James Featherstone (@JFeathjav) reported from Southampton, England

    @davenevin @virginmedia Luckily their customer service is excellent 🥴

  • DIZZYDJC
    Daniel John 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺 (@DIZZYDJC) reported from West End, England

    My internet is painfully slow tonight. Checked my router and it's not that, it's the internet itself. What is going on @virginmedia ? Your status says no faults but I can assure you there is. I am paying for 1GB bb and so far only reaching speeds of about 2.25 mb- explain??

  • BurvillePaul
    Paul Burville (@BurvillePaul) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia how about wasting less time advertising new products and get your damn internet and tv service to work for more than a few days without a problem!

  • Danzy92
    Craig (@Danzy92) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia Yes, I’ve checked everyday and despite signing up for text updates about this issue, I’ve heard nothing despite being 48 hours after the date it was supposed to be fixed. Not even a further text so confirm a delay. Could you provide any update to the SO15 postcode issue?

  • Rob_Mcgimpsey
    Rob Mcgimpsey (@Rob_Mcgimpsey) reported from Ampfield, England

    @virginmedia It seems like nobody @ Virgin is willing to intervene and sort this out. As a result Virgin just keep setting install dates and cancelling. The cycle repeats over and over. Customer service don’t help, despite me calling everyday.

    @IanSlaterPhoto1 @BrydonN2 Absurd. One of the reasons I’ve never left virgin media is that they were the only fibre to the door operator round here till recently.

  • kingoftheshed
    Paul Parkin (@kingoftheshed) reported

    @virginmedia after a week of absolutely shambolic service I’ve finally had enough. You sent me an email to say all was fixed but once again the wi-fi is down and the tv is disrupted. Another weekend of nonsense ahead. Tell me how I leave?

  • Sep8001
    KP (@Sep8001) reported

    @virginmedia Hi Thank you for replying. Yes I do run that check and it does tell me there is a problem, but why have we had so many in the last few weeks. Before that service was fine.

  • oliverjames77
    Shaun (@oliverjames77) reported

    @virginmedia good morning I hope you can help I have received a letter stating I owe £90 For equipment I returned, I Was told to return box and remote, can someone explain what is needed as I cancelled my contract and thought all was concluded … thanks

  • drewsy92
    Drew Grant (@drewsy92) reported

    Every single month I have trouble accessing the my o2 app, since it’s became virgin media! Absolute joke can never pay my bill in time because of it, doesn’t let me sign in even though the details are correct!! Shouldn’t have to phone up every month to sort it! @O2 @virginmedia

  • RichTigheBrady
    Rich Brady (@RichTigheBrady) reported

    @virginmedia It came back up but only after being down for 48 hrs! No reason! Happens every 4-6 weeks. There were no registered outages! So frustrating

    @virginmedia app not working yet again! Cheers for another ruined evening

  • RorschachSlays
    Rorschach Slays🇸🇮🇪🇺🇬🇧 (@RorschachSlays) reported

    @misselledee @virginmedia This is normal. My friend has been on a broken line for weeks now. Engineers came out 3 times. His internet is still worse than his mobile internet. Virgin is saying everything is ok. Engineers barely know much more than: Let's reboot your router. Get out. Get City Fibre.
