@virginmedia The person that put me on hold said it looked like there was a problem in our area and tried to put me through to technical help but after music droning on for ages it just stopped. Have given up and watching a dvd instead

@virginmedia Every single day for the last week my router just turns itself off and starts to update or drops out completely. Paying a lot of money for this service and it just isn’t good enough.

@virginmedia This lithium service you use is to get people off social media. It obfuscates and is unable to resolve anything. I'll take my chance in the legal system and with independent ombudsman.

16 mins on hold to @virginmedia before I got through to someone who said she needed to transfer me to another department, the recorded message of that department said the number no longer exists and gave me the original phone number to ring! Some customer service that!!!

Nice one @virginmedia I've missed all the 2nd half of the match now. No BB, no Tivo. And your still billing me a higher rate than was agreed when I did the tests which say no issues in my area. Tried resets.

If @virginmedia offer you a 6 month free upgrade do not accept it. It is a way of locking you into a further contract. Poor service as always

Anyone else on @virginmedia getting “To Be Announced” on virtually every channel. Tried rebooting, switching on and off. Strikes me that VM has gone to shit recently. Loads of channels have gone, close to sacking it off.

@virginmedia @honestlyhelen I've had similar feelings, my bill has rocketed by £11 per month over the last few months for my TV only service as Virgin only offer discounts now for multi package deals, loyalty no longer rewarded it seems 🤔

Shoutout to @vmbusiness who after 5 days told me to reset my router and have now told me they will simply continue to monitor the problem. No stream until NationWars now where we pray it’s going to be better.

No @virginmedia for over 40 min now. And we have this issue almost everyday. What do we pay for seriously... it shows there’s no issues but clearly there’s no internet. #virginmedia #virginmediadown

@virginmedia I've texted repeatedly. I've called repeatedly. Virgin continues to not sort the problem. When I get promised a call back I do not get it. Also fyi discussing this over here rather than DMing just makes it easier for scammers to contact your customers and try and trick them.

@virginmedia My 5ghz wifi signal just stopped working. When I went into the router I found my SSID had been changed to "1" and the password had changed back to the default. Is this a result of Virgin media performing maintenance or have I been hacked?

@virginmedia Yes its been resolved. When I called the team they were playing a message saying they're aware of the issues in the area so no need to wait an hour to speak to someone
