  • OlaAgbaimoni Ola Agbaimoni (@OlaAgbaimoni) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Wow I’m shocked. Clearly a lot of people will have gadgets that can only support 2Ghz which was available as a separate SIDD on the hub 3. If you were not going to support it you owed customers forewarning of this fact.

  • tosman30 Tom🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿⚒ (@tosman30) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia have an error code (C130) and not getting a signal, what does this mean?

  • rob_green86 Rob Green Jnr (@rob_green86) reported from Thundersley, England

    @westbrookdanni @virginmedia Up to 2 weeks ago I didn't have a bad word to say about them. The pure fact you can't get through to someone is the worst of it. Happy to take your money and trim your internet speeds!

  • mariobucolo Mario Bucolo (@mariobucolo) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia still having problems in sE6 london

  • GrandmasterAce1 kali ace (@GrandmasterAce1) reported from Grays, England

  • citigirly lisa sibley (@citigirly) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia hi intermittent broadband all morning now none at all and service status page not working? Se3 need ASAP as wfh

  • onemistert Mr T (@onemistert) reported from London, England

    @jayrayner1 @virginmedia If the service isn’t down in the area then the fault could simply be resolved by restarting the hub. I guess you’ve done that already?

  • tonywiseman1976 Tony Wiseman (@tonywiseman1976) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I have better things to do with my time than phoning @virginmedia The system should pick up on this. Virgin’s system is quick to chase me regarding the return of a bloody hub. Absolutely atrocious service.

  • Rosey_8 Barry Rose (@Rosey_8) reported from Brentwood, England

    @virginmedia hi could please let me know how I can cancel my contract ?? My bills are about £30/40 a month higher than most people I know

  • StaceyRebekka Stacey Karlsson (@StaceyRebekka) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia just been on hold to your customer services team for almost an hour, the call has just been cut off. We have no internet, but you’ve still taken payment. Can you get someone to call me ASAP please before I report you.

  • StaceyRebekka Stacey Karlsson (@StaceyRebekka) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia The engineer didn’t turn up today. I’ve been on hold for hours and still have no services. Please can someone help us?

  • rob_green86 Rob Green Jnr (@rob_green86) reported from Thundersley, England

    Anyone else really struggling with slow speeds over the last 10 days with @virginmedia. It's been spot on for 2 years now and then 10 days it seems something has happened. Lucky to get over 10Mb now 🙈

  • GrandmasterAce1 kali ace (@GrandmasterAce1) reported from Grays, England

    Virgin media users any issues 😣?

  • pauldurie p2.0 ✊🏻 🏳️‍🌈 #BLM (@pauldurie) reported from London, England

    @PippaCrerar @virginmedia If you're using a Virgin router I would buy another one as they're useless Main issue I found was they don't switch between 2.4GHz/5GHz very well If you want stronger signal then switch off 5GHz

  • mariobucolo Mario Bucolo (@mariobucolo) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia down in se6 london? Can't access to your site even from the mobile

  • mariobucolo Mario Bucolo (@mariobucolo) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia continue to having problems on broadband se6 london. 1 hr waiting someone answer at the phone or on chat. I seriously think to cancel my contract

  • StaceyRebekka Stacey Karlsson (@StaceyRebekka) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia No. We still don’t have any internet or TV and haven’t spoken to anyone. @VodafoneUK have sorted us out with extra mobile data. Can you share an email address so I can make a formal complaint please.

  • IIndigoMouseRH Rachel Hayden (@IIndigoMouseRH) reported from London, England

  • kelliefoster89 Mrs F (@kelliefoster89) reported

    @virginmedia I have also spoken to someone and someone in technical department suppose to call me but as standard poor service no one has called

  • jondyer Jøn (@jondyer) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, I've done all that before. It's not just a problem with the booster. My devices are having problems with the hub.

  • HashPiperdy Hash (@HashPiperdy) reported

    Obviously @virginmedia and @o2 have not thought of the optics how this looks, and all we've had is computer says no rubbish from either company. It looks like a good service, but if it's made this difficult to get, why bother?

  • SUFCClarkson SUFCClarkson⚔️ (@SUFCClarkson) reported

    @virginmedia Missed the entire game. I’m away so unable to confirm if this issue still stands.

  • kellymcdev Kelly (@kellymcdev) reported

    @virginmedia what's going on lately, the past 2-3 weeks my Internet has been virtually none existing L36 area. Needs sorting ASAP I should be getting 350mg at the moment I can't even watch Netflix it's that bad😡

  • BrowneSt Stuart Browne (@BrowneSt) reported

    @virginmedia Directly. Despite you having my email address and despite me never expressing any interest in the service marketed. But either way, it shouldn’t matter - there’s no excuse for this level of waste.

  • PabIotommo ᴘᴀʙʟᴏ (@PabIotommo) reported

    .@virginmedia You’re ******* horrible you.

  • ben_foss Ben Foss (@ben_foss) reported

    @SimonShawUK @virginmedia Just cancel it. Literally scrap it. I had over 6 months of failed appointments and wildly inaccurate billing. Just cancel it.

  • louise99143371 louise (@louise99143371) reported

    @virginmedia how long is the Internet going to be down my daughter has an important assignment to get done and we need the Internet for her birthday tomorrow or the day will be ruined

  • AmyWooders Amy (@AmyWooders) reported

    @virginmedia (2/2) in our area until the 25th of November, and that the wifi may be patchy until then. We both work from home and need internet (esp zoom!) is there anything you can do while it's not working? We are having to spend a fortune on 4g top ups to make up for it!
