    @_MMaritima @virginmedia Wired speed test would be to isolate between a wireless problem or the connection in. Router might be shielded which would kill signal. Make sure other electronics aren't too close. I can ruin my wireless if I put router on top of my TiVo box

    Mike Moody (@classicm) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia All my tv, broadband and phone services are down. Nobody available from Virgin to help. Done all the usual checks and still off.

    On hold with @virginmedia for 20 minutes then they decided to cut my call.. great service. 👍

    @virginmedia why am I having daily and sometimes multiple outages with your broadband service? Checked service status which always says everything is fine. It's so fine I need to switch off WiFi on my devices and use 4G. Thoughts welcome.

    **** off Virgin Media, useless bollocks

  • UnicornRunning
    Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia The Hub is in modem mode connected to a separate wireless router as the Hub's WiFi has been poor since we got it, so technically it's a wired connection. Router's connection is lost when it drops so no devices can connect wirelessly. Has been stable for about 3 hours now.

    @virginmedia 17 days with no TV service, finally resumed today after another manual restarts at this end. Any chance of a refund of half of this month? That's pretty dire.

    You lot need to sort yourselves out, Internet going down around midnight for the past few days yet you charge the earth @virginmedia

    @virginmedia disgusting slow speeds AGAIN in NE27 Cant wait for my contract end

  • KeithRwc
    Keith Dawson (@KeithRwc) reported from Washington, England

    Looks like @virginmedia are again trying to take Netflix payment that should already be included in my Volt. This is disgusting behaviour having already spoke to them previously!! Anyone else having similar issues?

    @virginmedia Well that was a pointless exercise reaching out to yourselves. Just proves once again what a load of rubbish Virgin is…. #virginmedia #garbage #dailymirror

  • UnicornRunning
    Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England

    @gotthegistofit @virginmedia Same, just spent a frustrating hour on their "customer service" line because about £40 of calls are on my father-in-law's bill which weren't made. Still not resolved and an engineer has to come our first (which they wanted to charge for!)

    @Magpie24_7 Fitness levels of Virgin Media are poor.

    @virginmedia sorry for the late reply I smashed my phone I phoned customer service and I'm still waiting for someone to phone me iv had NO TV for about 15 days now

  • ZicoPete
    Pete Irving (@ZicoPete) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia No, tried 3 times on hold for 20 minutes then cut off by agents without saying a word. After checking other responses I can see this has been the issue either other customers.

  • TheFraserPorter
    Fraser Porter (@TheFraserPorter) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia twice in 2 months that my hub 5 has completely gone down with a flashing red light and won’t work, I’ve had to book a technician for it both times. Costs too much for this to keep happening!

  • stephwales_
    Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England

    1 whole week without any @virginmedia, months of signal issues. Engineer has gone out of his way but having to continually wait. Hopefully the engineer booked for tomorrow turns up and replaces my now faulty equipment.

  • UnicornRunning
    Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England

    Ye gods, @virginmedia customer service is beyond terrible. An hour trying to resolve a "phantom calls" issue last night which now needs an engineer visit, and spotted that a direct debit is in an incorrect name but this can't be changed via WhatsApp chat and needs *another* call.

  • tenchylad
    Stu (@tenchylad) reported from Sunderland, England

    @OliverStanding @virginmedia It's not a great self serve option and poor customer experience. I have an issue trying to remove a service from my current package. Cant be done digitally or remotely. Only via phone which even then very few of the advisors have the levels of authority to amend your package.

    David Kirk (@veyron_fan) reported

    @hamchester44 @_HenryMill You don't get why people are so into it. Did you see the price of f1tv? It's literally a fraction the price of Sky.... If you don't have a classic TV service like Sky or Virgin media, which many don't, you're only option is rubbish NowTV sports pass for over £30 a month!!!

    @virginmedia well done virgin media… you’ve been faffing about with a broadband and tv issue for the last week. Was supposed to be fixed by yesterday, now it says it’ll be the 7th. In the mean time we’ve got no broadband or tv in long intermittent blocks all day. 👎🏼

    @virginmedia shocking service, I’ve tried to contact today as my broadband has been down since last night I’ve done all the steps and there is no way to book a service call. App says no issues then I do a test and it says intermittent issues please get this fixed !!!

  • AndyRunningman
    Andy (@AndyRunningman) reported

    @virginmedia how long is the wait for customer services. Been on hold for 30mins. Have a problem with my tv box. Non of the diagnostics works. Been like it for weeks. Loosing the will to live trying to fix it!

  • ForkYeah07

    An absolute nightmare getting onboard with Virgin Media broadband. They changed my appointment on the last day. Who the hell is going to pay me for the inconvenience this will have? This is absolutely ridiculous. Is this the service you guys provide?? @virginmedia

    Virgin Media broke their agreement, then breached the formal complaint resolution about it within 6 days. Their own staff told me the complaints process has "limitations" and to take it to social media. So here we are 🧵
