  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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!

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

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

  • 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!!!!

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

  • 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 Really frustrated by this; I can’t do any work until I can get online😫 never had any issues with previous provider. Had virgin less than a month and this is the second time there’s been a ballsup.

    @virginmedia experiencing no broadband and/Wi-Fi in Glasgow G13 area. Can’t see what problem is or fix through the app as website is down. Unbelievable!

  • ScouseGoth Delusional. (@ScouseGoth) reported

    I'm very impressed with @O2 as a network, I got a sim only with unlimited everything, on a virgin media Black Friday deal for £25 a month. Using it for work with a Galaxy S9 as soon as the S23 is out I'm diving straight into a contract with them. There beating Vodafone by far.

  • MonkeeScarey ScareyMonkee (@MonkeeScarey) reported

    @virginmedia Don't you think I've tried everything? There is no internet connection. Rebooted router via admin reboot. Rebooted router via manual reboot. Turned off router, waited to turned on. Tried Ethernet connection, not working Tried WiFi connection, not working. 1/2

  • Hornyletloose David (@Hornyletloose) reported

    @virginmedia @twohitsthesix Not just Glasgow area Paisley and Johnstone also having issues Johnstone had no Internet all day.

  • KroyVR KroyVR (@KroyVR) reported

    @virginmedia Twice, originally 22nd, I missed a call from Virgin, so phoned back, took many minutes to arrange a second appointment from a Virgin Media virtual engineer on the 23rd December, which was never made by Virgin or received by me.
