  • thereal_rookie Paul Rooke (@thereal_rookie) reported from Prescot, England

    @virginmedia It was an account pretending to be yourselves, trying to phish for info. Reported it to Twitter. The account viriginmeida has been suspended. #regards my issue. Your black spot spotter is not great if a black spot is so black that I get no WiFi

  • Reidy_25 liam (@Reidy_25) reported from Prescot, England

    @virginmedia your internet is terrible and you have the cheek to charge people a small fortune for the use of it

  • DCBlue11 Dave Carson (@DCBlue11) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia @virginmedia engineer has been out done tests everything fine , except the Wi-Fi cutting out . Which you say is because of Android 08 . My partner has same device as me but has Android 07 and she has the same problem. It was fine till a couple of months ago I think it's your hub

  • thereal_rookie Paul Rooke (@thereal_rookie) reported from Prescot, England

    @virginmedia Rebooted, changed channels, sometimes get a bit of 5ghz, but really not high quality signal, stuttering video playback.

  • dbrindle92 David Brindle (@dbrindle92) reported from Liverpool, England

    @AdamWether @virginmedia @O2 For what you pay them you should be able to get signal on the moon

  • DCBlue11 Dave Carson (@DCBlue11) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I'm sorry I disagree it's @virginmedia broadband not Samsung broadband! So it is a @virginmedia issue .I don't pay Samsung for my Wi-Fi.

  • YODELhell YODELhell (@YODELhell) reported from Ellesmere Port, England

    @Loddonbrewery @virginmedia That’s because YODEL’s contract is with the sender, Virgin. They’ll tell the customer (you) to contact the sender. Virgin keeps telling customers to contact YODEL. They know that’s wrong, yet keep doing it.

  • Maddelan Madeleine Fletcher (@Maddelan) reported from Seaforth, England

    @virginmedia No never got to speak to anyone - the message that you were closed only came at the end of all the automated messages!!!!

  • YODELhell YODELhell (@YODELhell) reported from Ellesmere Port, England

    @virginmedia @Ramsey255Joanne HOW DARE you keep telling customers to contact YOUR chosen courier. The contract is between YODEL and Virgin. YODEL, if they even answer, will tell the customer to contact the sender. YOU chose them. YOU deal with them.

  • TippingScott Scott Tipping (@TippingScott) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia funny how I've got to use my own data to complain about our virgin, the wifi goes down every single day!

  • lestervose ann (@lestervose) reported from Haydock, England

    @virginmedia I have no internet connection WA11, checked area status (through mobile data 😏 thankfully can rely on 3 mobile) which reports no issues. Well there is...as per usual. Please help

  • tommylbf Thomas Hall MB Vans (@tommylbf) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia not working again!!!!!! Can’t wait to move back to @SkyUK

  • YODELhell YODELhell (@YODELhell) reported from Ellesmere Port, England

    @virginmedia @sharonod1 Clearly they bloody can’t. Stop telling her the same crap.

  • coachdancad Dan Cad (@coachdancad) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I rebooted it yesterday and a number of times previously. I’m now in receipt of a Cat. 6 Ethernet cable which has improved wired speeds - I’d suggest these should come as standard - but wireless speeds are still slow and unreliable.

  • natherton90 Neil Atherton™ (@natherton90) reported from Rainhill, England

    @virginmedia No. Just the Sky Sports SD channels, there picture quality is terrible.

  • DCBlue11 Dave Carson (@DCBlue11) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Yes it's the same problem

  • DCBlue11 Dave Carson (@DCBlue11) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Yes tried it , no change. As I mentioned in previous posts my partner Lyndsay has the same problem. Still waiting for you to come up with a solution ! Seriously thinking of trying another network now for my broadband. 😡😡

  • DCBlue11 Dave Carson (@DCBlue11) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Re: Wi-Fi cutting out, exclamation mark .Samsung blame your hub @virginmedia blame Android 8.0.meanwhile my service gets worse with no solution in sight. #frustrated

  • DCBlue11 Dave Carson (@DCBlue11) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia An engineer has tested it ,it's fine. my partner has same device as me but has Android 07 not 08 and she has the same problem. It was fine till a couple of months ago. I think your hub is the problem ,waiting for a solution! 😡

  • YODELhell YODELhell (@YODELhell) reported from Ellesmere Port, England

    @virginmedia @natashaoneill_ We’re getting sick of saying this. It’s NOT the customer’s responsibility to contact YODEL. Virgin hired them. Contract is with Virgin. All YODEL will do is tell the customer to contact Virgin. Stop lying to customers.

  • backfootslinger Backfootslingers (@backfootslinger) reported

    @AndrewOwen67 @virginmedia Just seen this.. I'm in Eastwood and have exactly the same. Not sure what they mean when they have Engineers out because there is absolutely zero activity going on locally. Terrible service as always

  • Sabirchoudhry chs786 (@Sabirchoudhry) reported

    @virginmedia Also, when I renewed I was told we would get a new router but this has never happened. This router is dated and old. Offering high speeds with a useless router is a scam because you will never be able to fulfill those speeds you advertise with these useless routers.

  • RobinMo07681223 Robin Morton (@RobinMo07681223) reported

    @virginmedia You can stop the debt collectors who are trying to get £29!! Off me even though I paid your operator in order to close my account!! You could also have some way of getting in touch that does not require sitting on the telephone for six hours! Your customer service is a joke.

  • Sabirchoudhry chs786 (@Sabirchoudhry) reported

    @virginmedia It is a WiFi issue. You are the so called experts so you ought to tell us what the issue is. We cannot keep calling you to be cut off after 90mins and still get nowhere with it. No you're expecting us to figure the issue out. This needs to be done by you

  • carmellang Maggi-home (@carmellang) reported

    @account_hstyles @Houis_Barry Totally! I’ve even thought of recording my calls with Virgin Media, never mind management calls. They will deny anything if they can get away with it!

  • dom209 Dom (@dom209) reported

    @virginmedia No issue detected. I know it’s not an Internet connect issue as the same thing happens with mobile data. And again, I can login to both my virgin media and sky sport with my virgin media credentials without issue. It’s just virgin tv go I cannot.

  • Broker123 Scott Broker (@Broker123) reported

    @virginmedia are you going to fix the problem with the broadband in the NG16 area, I have been without internet since 1pm today. Couldn’t do any work for my job at all.

  • Bugginout_co_uk BUGGINOUT (@Bugginout_co_uk) reported

    @virginmedia I know there's a service fault, it's been ****** all day.

  • Sabirchoudhry chs786 (@Sabirchoudhry) reported

    @NryptoCFT @virginmedia I would leave if @virginmedia didn't keep cutting me off after 90mins on hold. I'm currently paying for Internet which I'm not receiving. If they don't resolve my issues I'm going to cancel and go elsewhere. They've been absolutely terrible so far! Regret renewing with them.

  • TimeisNow22 AttitudeAdjustment (@TimeisNow22) reported
