    @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

  • PandaKingPinder
    Panda 🐼 (@PandaKingPinder) reported from Romsey, England

    @virginmedia The issue is some of the ports in the back don't work, we get occasional dips in the internet's which some days don't reach the amount we pay for and the webpage says we can upgrade our hub but can only be done on the phone to see we can't get hold of anyone.

    I have a go at customer service a lot, but with the move @virginmedia were great, @thameswater exemplary, @SouthernWater a great guy on customer helpline and Test Valley Council efficient and personable. It can be done, you know.

    @virginmedia @virginmedia issues again with tv & Internet, seems to be a theme for this week as not first time .There is nothing on service status :-( any idea?!

  • BrainTumourSurg
    Paul Grundy (@BrainTumourSurg) reported from Winchester, England

    Thanks to @virginmedia they install new broadband which worked for about 5 minutes. Now nothing. Follow all instructions to fix. Waited 5 hours this morning for the privilege and now 1 hour on phone still on hold Should have paid attention to the terrible reviews #wastedmyday 🤬

    @virginmedia I have just spoken to collections team who told me they cannot deal with my issue. They passed me to cancellation team who said they cannot deal with it only collections can. The issue is that I cancelled in July but you have no record of my call or letter.

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

    @virginmedia It's both. I have been doing some digging and it's the upload speeds. They are not getting anywhere over 2MB /sec which is not good enough. It has been very slow over the last couple of days

  • sarah_mcginty
    Sarah McGinty (@sarah_mcginty) reported from Andover, England

    @virginmedia Bang! Gone again. Nothing on service status :-(

  • reyewon
    Ryan Stanikk 📸 (@reyewon) reported from Southampton, England

    Was incredibly annoyed at service from @virginmedia today. After sending back the old equipment 6 weeks ago, we received an email saying we were going to be charged for not sending it back. I called up 10 days ago and was told the charge would be removed and not to worry...

  • colingrinnell
    colin grinnell (@colingrinnell) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia is there any known problems with your WiFi hub ? The WiFi signal I receive is terrible constantly dropping out. I spend most of the time on 3G as it’s more reliable. I have rebooted all routers and boosters but noting seems to make the WiFi work

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

    @VMO2News @virginmedia @goodthingsfdn All the money we pay for this awful broadband is a joke. Oh just get the plug in booster for an extra £5 a month this will help!!! 2m from the router and can’t even send this. 3G is better than virgin. Bring on toob 🕺🏻

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

    @virginmedia Unfortunately no end in sight. I had to make another call to Virgin today. It took 40 minutes before I was talking to someone. It seems Virgin are not capable to get this over the line without me pushing them onto the next step and following up to make sure things are done. Poor

  • 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??

  • 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

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

    so glad to have my tv back from repair after a few weeks of it not working. means i can watch Liverpool vs Burney nice and smoothly on my @virginmedia box and not have to deal with that god awful @SkySports app for windows #LIVBUR

  • Duckocide
    Duckocide Games (@Duckocide) reported from Andover, England

    @virginmedia So I'm told after speaking to you. Not seeing it on service page though. Agent said there was network issue.

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

    @virginmedia Well... @VodafoneUK also invest around about the same amount of money in their network, and they haven't increased the prices anywhere near as much as you have. And I'm always connected whenever I'm outside the house. No issues with connectivity whatsoever.

    @virginmedia well get renegotiating. their app is awful.

  • JPWOZNIAK
    JAN WOZNIAK (@JPWOZNIAK) reported

    @virginmedia STILL NO BBC1 FOR US, plus other issues. Very disappointing 24 hours.I think it may be a good time to check alternative providers…

    @virginmedia why is my broadband off and why does this repeatedly happen? Your broadband service checker also does not currently work.

  • GrantStewart2
    Grant Stewart (@GrantStewart2) reported

    @virginmedia Tv still down after 24 hours and no update from VM. Awful service from a company that states putting customers first. Shocking service

    Why can't you speak to an actual human being from @virginmedia ? They were meant to call my mum back weeks ago and they never bothered.

  • suemetty
    Sue Metcalf. 🌈 (@suemetty) reported

    @virginmedia my tv and broadband aren’t working and haven’t been for 3 days now, you say you will fix it on the 20/05 but I can’t even get on the app to log it, so how do I claim? NE8 3 JP

    @virginmedia i would saying good but giving your standard of service I will reserve judgment

  • follow_the_bear
    Bear Holland (@follow_the_bear) reported

    @virginmedia You should be compensating 33% of daily contract price per day of outage. If not maybe if enough customers group together and approach CISAS then they’ll force you to compensate for loss of service plus interest.
