    @virginmedia There are a couple of threads I've contributed to. I'll try to post the one I looked at this morning and posted the same comment I tweeted. My point is that it shouldn't be a one at a time fix.

    @AdamWether @virginmedia @O2 For what you pay them you should be able to get signal on the moon

    So. I've now had 3 @virginmedia techies in 2 days tell me they've resolved my issue. That remains to be seen. It in no way excuses the engineer no-show 🤬🤬🤬

    @virginmedia ****** Taliban getting WiFi signal in caves in Afghanistan and I can’t get a signal in most rooms in my ****** house

  • Knitswithbeer
    knitswithbeer🐝 (@Knitswithbeer) reported from Euxton, England

    @virginmedia The issue has been constant for 2 weeks. Option 2 at the second press is when calling about an account different to the one I'm calling from.

  • coachdancad
    Dan Cad (@coachdancad) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I rebooted it yesterday and a number of times previously. I’m now in receipt of a Cat. 6 Ethernet cable which has improved wired speeds - I’d suggest these should come as standard - but wireless speeds are still slow and unreliable.

  • Knitswithbeer
    knitswithbeer🐝 (@Knitswithbeer) reported from Euxton, England

    @virginmedia Sick and tired of this now. Acknowledged there was a problem, sorted it*, asked me to monitor gor a week and if not working they'll then send a man out. *still happening ffs

  • Knitswithbeer
    knitswithbeer🐝 (@Knitswithbeer) reported from Euxton, England

    @virginmedia And the problem yet again wasn't solved over the phone. Wouldn't admit who cancelled or why. Did admit could identify 'frequency issues' Company full of ignorant eejits

  • lestervose
    ann (@lestervose) reported from Haydock, England

    @virginmedia I have no internet connection WA11, checked area status (through mobile data 😏 thankfully can rely on 3 mobile) which reports no issues. Well there is...as per usual. Please help

  • bigjeast
    John Eastham (@bigjeast) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia why is your internet always dropping out in the wn3 area. 4 weeks on the bounce now. Latency and speed test are poor too.

    Virgin media broadband fails again telephone and broadband went off around 2pm still no service not two months goes by without it failing think twice before you sign up

  • DCBlue11
    Dave Carson (@DCBlue11) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I'm sorry I disagree it's @virginmedia broadband not Samsung broadband! So it is a @virginmedia issue .I don't pay Samsung for my Wi-Fi.

  • Knitswithbeer
    knitswithbeer🐝 (@Knitswithbeer) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia No. I don't think it's a broadband issue but it certainly has me foxed. I feel it's an Android version issue.

  • coachdancad
    Dan Cad (@coachdancad) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia No reported issues. Used the guide before - it’s why I moved the router. Poor signal is because I moved the PS4 5ft across the room. But it’s less than 5m away from the router in a straight line - obscured only by the floor and the tv is sits next to.

    @virginmedia What I’m saying is that the service status says “no known issues”. You just acknowledged that there is a known issue. Why is service status saying “no known issues?”

    @virginmedia No problem, I'm always happy to try and help... Plus I don't have to stick to a script & appease CS rules & regs 😜.

    So Virgin Media who I’ve been with for nearly all my time in London are offering lovely cheaper deals for new customers. While I, a fairly loyal customer, get charged £45 for just broadband. Time to move then.

  • mummychelle
    Michelle (@mummychelle) reported

    @virginmedia No. There's no issue. It says the broadband is working. The issue is with the WiFi dropping out to the devices

  • cherylockerby
    cheryl (@cherylockerby) reported from Barry, Wales

    @virginmedia I’ve had a text to say our issue will be resolved by 1/12 but this seems to be a continuous issue and I have a child trying to do schoolwork from home due to Covid so it’s vital our BB is working and for our heating too which works via wifi.

    @virginmedia Still no luck, they can see WiFi is not working but do not know what the problem is...... They will apparently call me back in the next hour, over a week now and still the same problem 😡
