    Is anyone else in Andover having issues with their @virginmedia? Wi-Fi’s been cutting out repeatedly all day

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

    @sfc_rich @virginmedia They literally don’t care. They are my Dads provider too so I’m going to have the same issues when his house is sold. I’ve never, ever dealt with such sheer incompetence in my life!

  • HuntleyBenjamin
    Ben Huntley (@HuntleyBenjamin) reported from Andover, England

    Virgin media has to be the worst internet provider I’ve ever had the trouble to experience

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

    @virginmedia I guarantee you they cannot help. I call every day, usually spending over an hour on the phone. The pre-installs team only promise me a call back from someone who can help, within 24-48hrs. The call back never comes, despite further requests for this to happen. Explain that?

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

    @virginmedia Yes I have used the connect app and it only works when I’m a meter from the router. I’m paying you for a service you can’t provide but you call me to say why don’t you upgrade to 300mb speeds when you can’t even give 10. Appalling

    @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!!!

  • mjam1978
    Morgan Jamison (@mjam1978) reported from Andover, England

    @virginmedia Hi John Thank you for offering to assist. Internet is no better. Unstable and keeps dropping out cannot work from home as it cannot keep up with demands nor can my son effectively work online for school. Service in 2021 as poor as it was throughout 2020 🙄

    @ruthapanda @Deference_Matt @virginmedia Denno’s internet is too slow for him to reply...

  • 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

  • Alec2306
    Alec Clapperton (@Alec2306) reported from Andover, England

    @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

  • 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 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).

  • 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?

  • 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

  • SimDendy
    Sim Dendy (@SimDendy) reported from Romsey, England

    Apologies if you can’t get hold of me - @virginmedia have ‘blacklisted’ my phone even though I am not a Virgin customer. After many hours/phone calls they are still unable to explain why & have said I need to write a letter (!) to escalate further 🤯 - any better ideas out there?

  • 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 🤬

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

    @virginmedia So you’re not going to do anything about it, despite knowing it’s destined to let me down. Exactly the same attitude as the rest of virgin. The problem is, it’s taken almost 4 months. This is the issue; deep rooted - Virgin reps don’t care

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

    @virginmedia Well after the services going again today, virgin media appeared a my door ( my property was ' doing lots of noise at the junction') fixed an issue with my hub and now its never been so fast!! Ive never seen so many virgin media vans in my area!

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

    So there's me hoping to watch the #SingaporeGP in full before work then it gets delayed by an hour. **** sake. Thank God for the @virginmedia app. (Dear god I hate working late shifts with a passion) #F1

    👾 (@Omersaeela) reported

    Hi @VirginMedia, my account has been locked and I’ve been trying to contact support for 2 days now with no response. Calls are not being answered at all. I urgently need help setting up my new WiFi device. This level of support is really disappointing. Have no option 👎

  • clarke_j_emily
    Emily J Clarke (@clarke_j_emily) reported

    @virginmedia Losing the plot. The outage in my area is 1 mth old today! Been on hold 75mins to add further complaints to my complaint 🤬

  • AndyDevineCOYS
    Andy Devine (@AndyDevineCOYS) reported

    @virginmedia absolutely despicable that since January this year we have been trying to sort out fraud on my 83 year old disabled mother in laws account where somehow she is been hacked with additional services on her account. Despite over 100 calls and live chats and 8 complaint

  • pwcwright
    Sprout57 (@pwcwright) reported

    @virginmedia why is my broadband continually going down in the TF3 area ? Twice so far today continuing from the last few days of outages !

  • grandadthegrey
    Steve H 📷🦋🐝 (@grandadthegrey) reported

    Just spent an hour trying to contact a human at @virginmedia but failed. Customer service line useless. Chat didn't work. Web site takes you round in circles and does not solve what I wanted to know.

  • JoshLoweLufc

    @Leaky23_ @virginmedia See this? Block this customer from any future services!

  • billywi56359173
    billy winter (@billywi56359173) reported

    @virginmedia tried calling and it’s impossible to get through to anyone, my bill keeps going up and up and up and the service keeps getting worse and worse, so I try and swap supplier and now you’re charging me nearly £300 to leave early.

  • Deb0rahKW
    Deborah (@Deb0rahKW) reported

    Tons of organisations where you want to speak to a human and can't find a phone number. Yet. Virgin media down. I just want to click a button to report and all I can find is a phone number.

  • hedge99

    @virginmedia @DeeEmCee28 I haved the same issues

  • rob_king
    Rob 👑 (@rob_king) reported

    This really is boring @virginmedia. I returned my kit on 26th April with your vendor (Yodel) per your instructions. It’s been stuck in there network and now you’ve charged me for it. Even though you can see I’ve sent it (I provided all the details to customer services on WhatsApp). I won’t be taking a credit, I’ll be disputing the charge. You have no right to charge me for the equipment when it’s with your courier and I have evidenced that to customer services.
