@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 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.

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 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 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.

@0Bfkx @danjconn @virginmedia Don’t doubt it - one time they wanted me to disconnect my HiveHub before they would help because “we don’t support 3rd routers”. It’s a bloody heating control unit. Nowadays I have their hub in modem mode and use my own WiFi gear - first thing they do is back to router mode.

@virginmedia I'm now being told that installation has been cancelled. If I hadn't called I would never have known that and would have expected it on the 25th. I have never, ever had a day like this with any company. Truly mind-boggling.

@virginmedia my internet keeps going on and off all the time and it's annoying and you want an extra £2.50 a month! For what? Horrible service, a website that doesn't work and false claims made about problems to sell more expensive packages! I find it disgusting to be honest!

When the country is relying on phones, Internet & TV for communication, work and schooling & @virginmedia let you down & don't even care! Disgraceful and our contract will be terminated!

@virginmedia You have to be kidding me - I just texted that number and it is a Bot service! What kind of useless service is this? How about a real human? How about someone doing something about my no access? How about calling me on the number I sent to the stupid BOT service

(@BenMTobin) reported
@virginmedia Regardless - one of your team has cancelled and not told me, it's only my ringing up that has uncovered that fact. Absolutely unacceptable and I'll be escalating the complaint to relevant bodies.

@virginmedia You need to get you self sorted ASAP. We have had nothing but trouble with you for months now when my daughter needs the internet for school. 2 days we have had to spend away from home so she doesn't miss tests. Don't think we will be staying with you much longer!!!
