@virginmedia Yes. There is a known issue in my area but no "explanation". It's states the fix estimate is 3pm. That's almost a whole day's salary.

@virginmedia I’ve sorted the problem I think. Or maybe until the next time it goes off. I’ve disconnected coax cable etc and blew them clean and tightened them back up and done a speed test and it’s up to 365mb download speed. Hopefully this has fixed problem

Please be aware everyone when you get a inbox from virgin media. I got one yesterday asking about my account and asking me to send my card details and card holder name and security number to verify the account. It wasn’t virgin media but a scam. Because my internet was down. Scum

@virginmedia these past few weeks my wifi signal has been absolute dog, I used to be able to get good signal all around the house, now barely get goof signal in my kitchen no more than 10m away from the hub, my TV which is about 2m away only gets 30mbps when my package is 200??

@virginmedia Service page doesn’t indicate anything. I’ve checked all the devices (I only use the wifi no lan cables) and nothing is connected.

@virginmedia Yeah I know that but we are paying for the fastest speed and when it eventually works we don’t get nowhere near that speed. Considering how many times I have to reset the router we don’t get a full service. Just wanted it sorting out

Ha ha @virginmedia it’s gone off again. This is twice since dinner time where it’s just randomly turned itself off. #annoying and yes it’s saying there’s nothing wrong with the service in my area. So why does it turn itself off ffs

@virginmedia I see. It is very unfortunate as I cannot do my work when I’m not online and I also spend more on mobile internet because the service I pay for regularly is simply not there.

@virginmedia It says there’s no issues in my area. So why does my internet keep going off. If it works it’s very rarely high or if it is it’s only for a short time. Then goes off and gives low readings. I’ve reset it and unplugged it from mains etc and still it’s on and off. Annoying

@virginmedia So now moved to @vmbusinesshelp line instead of residential activated yesterday and new router installed with no problems. Tonight 7.19pm internet goes down? 7.45m internet goes down? I am paying significantly more and receiving the same poor line?!?!?

@virginmedia Thanks for coming back to me. Yes the service checker was what told me it was down but with no reason why. The estimated time to fix was over 15hrs but fortunately the issue was resolved in around 3hrs.

@OpenreachHelp @SkyHelpTeam day 12 of no internet. I’ve made countless phone calls to try and get this fixed and have had to resort to taking out a 30 day @virginmedia contract as internet essential for WFH over school summer holidays. Wish I never left them in the first place.

@virginmedia This is why your customer service is so terrible. You leave a pensioner without the use of her phone and without the ability to pay bills due to aggressive collections agents! It’s an absolute joke!!!

Looking to change broadband providers and it seems #onestream have the best deal in my area. But there are so many negative reviews about the customer service, I’ve already suffered with #VirginMedia

@virginmedia It’s today though@im not hopeful the issues will be resolved as the second line hasn’t been installed and your sending an internal install engineer again. I will be submitting a full complaint as will my daughter who holds the separate account. I need help to resolve not a link
