    @virginmedia No there isn’t so please message me privately to get this problem fixed ASAP-thank you

  • RedElectro Red Electro (@RedElectro) reported from Warrington, England

    Well, @richardbranson @virginmedia - been a customer since the Telewest days, but the broadband service is almost unusable now. I don’t know what’s going wrong, but you’re going to start losing customers rapidly, if you don’t get this sorted.

  • Sam_Cook_1986 Samuel Cook (@Sam_Cook_1986) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia disappointed to say the least. Customer for 5 years, out of contract, bill is £120 a month, Phone up to renew and negotiate, no offers. Despite Amazon being a new competitor for sports and the mobile experience being infinitely better with them. Package cancelled.

  • 52Normski Norman Williams (@52Normski) reported from Bryn, England

    AWFUL SERVICE. Wrote to @virginmedia about my mobile; no response so rang 789 who cut me off 3 times as they couldn't put me through to that office in Swansea. Direct number online was wrong. On 4th call logged complaint; they to ring me back in 3 days. Not holding my breath.

  • HazelHendriksen hazel hendriksen (@HazelHendriksen) reported from Haydock, England

    @virginmedia I need some technical help as my equipment is faulty. Tried all the resets and followed advise but box keeps going into standby. Also not been loading any tv planner or what’s up next for weeks. The box is over 7 years old. Think a technician would be helpful

  • 52Normski Norman Williams (@52Normski) reported from Bryn, England

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia Adding a character and then removing that character worked. By pasting the password in, it wasn’t accepting the password regardless. It needed a character to be manually added. I’ve never seen that before on any password fields on any other site, seems like an API issue maybe.

  • Jopo69493048 Jopo (@Jopo69493048) reported

    @virginmedia am home the light on the hub is currently white we know it has been off during the day we weren’t able to access our door camera.all of sudden it reboots itself then it may stay on for a time but then go off again it’s inconsistent - check the network logs

  • MartanaPrice Martana Price (@MartanaPrice) reported

    @virginmedia @NetflixUK Tivo is not working getting an error code W02!? Rebooted twice still happening Whats being done about it?

  • EvertonianCamel Annabelle 🇺🇦 ♀️ ♿ (@EvertonianCamel) reported

    @virginmedia 3rd thing I did after checking cables and rebooting. As I said in my tweet, it says no issues but several people in Coventry are reporting the same issue

  • Bearsito Andrew (@Bearsito) reported

    @DosFox1 We left @virginmedia after our contract because we had so many issues. Once we tried to cancel, they argued with me because I said I could get cheaper access elsewhere and they refused to drop the costs. I’d even prefer talk talk over them (we use Vodafone with no issues!)

  • TerichoHorror Tericho (Checkmark) (@TerichoHorror) reported

    It has been weeks now that my Virgin Media internet has been unreliable. Slow speeds, dropping intermittently, all around peak hours. I can't even switch as I have no other providers that offer the same speeds. Frustrating to say the least.

  • naz2012 Naz (@naz2012) reported

    @K3llyannx @CommunityFibre @virginmedia Support may need some improvements according to other reviews on here, but should get better over time.

  • MartanaPrice Martana Price (@MartanaPrice) reported

    @virginmedia When will this issue be fixed???

  • RWGPears Richard Pears (@RWGPears) reported

    @virginmedia - no internet for 2 days - you advise your working on network - works for 6 hours on third day then stops - you advise it’s my hub - technician booked for 8-12 - 15mins later you text advising technician booked 4-7 - come on guys, it’s not good enough!

  • CompleteGoober Gary Pickles (@CompleteGoober) reported

    @virginmedia No, I don't have time to post onto a forum. This has been ongoing all month and you're asking me to post it onto a forum. Ridiculous. There was no problem at all, you tampered with something and now it's knackered. Your technical guy said it would be fixed, so why hasn't it been?

  • SidwellMichael Michael Sidwell 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 (@SidwellMichael) reported

    @virginmedia As I said before: I don't think so. Why when you supposedly have a Customer Service dept am I the one making all the enquiries? VM email today said they'll look into my complaint within 28 days. I'll probably be with BT before then.
