    @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

  • TippingScott Scott Tipping (@TippingScott) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia funny how I've got to use my own data to complain about our virgin, the wifi goes down every single day!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Maddelan Madeleine Fletcher (@Maddelan) reported from Seaforth, England

    @virginmedia No never got to speak to anyone - the message that you were closed only came at the end of all the automated messages!!!!

  • alchteb beth (@alchteb) reported from Warrington, England

    went on @virginmedia live chat at 2pm because my broadband was down - engineer arrived at 5pm and all fixed by half past! five stars from me!

  • DJGlassBack PENALTYPOOL (@DJGlassBack) reported from Liverpool, England

    Why is my wifi not working yet again @virginmedia beyond a joke now

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

    @virginmedia @virginmedia engineer has been out done tests everything fine , except the Wi-Fi cutting out . Which you say is because of Android 08 . My partner has same device as me but has Android 07 and she has the same problem. It was fine till a couple of months ago I think it's your hub

  • thereal_rookie Paul Rooke (@thereal_rookie) reported from Prescot, England

    @virginmedia Rebooted, changed channels, sometimes get a bit of 5ghz, but really not high quality signal, stuttering video playback.

  • dbrindle92 David Brindle (@dbrindle92) reported from Liverpool, England

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

  • 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 your internet is terrible and you have the cheek to charge people a small fortune for the use of it

  • reubensharpe Reuben Sharpe (@reubensharpe) reported

    @virginmedia Grim. No Internet or TV services since 5pm last night. Any idea when service will be sorted, I need Internet services for work. Many thanks

  • GrahamP84993234 Graham Patterson (@GrahamP84993234) reported

    @virginmedia @KinlanPaul I can't get on my emails, a message coming up saying" correct credentials needed". I haven't changed anything. Therefore I can't send an email to virgin media issues. Tried ringing 150 but cannot get through!! Tried getting through on internet but a message comes up bad request

  • BidC1 Bid (@BidC1) reported

    Hi - for weeks now have been unable to sign in to my Virgin Media email account. Every single time I am asked to 'try again in an hour' and the contact page 'Oops - doesn’t exist'. I have to pay £38.50/mth, and yet am unable to contact anybody - pretty disgraceful

  • TheFunVampire_L TheFunVampire (@TheFunVampire_L) reported

    @virginmedia @BarrelBell It’s possible everyone in his area is randomly experiencing the same issue with the same hardware; however y’all might want to adjust policy to inspect the service nodes if multiple customers in an area have the same/similar complaint.

  • RicOnTheTyne Ric T (@RicOnTheTyne) reported

    @virginmedia I have two mobile phones with you guys on contract and neither can get a signal right now in Dover? Is there an outage in the Dover area right now?

  • AS04642849 A S (@AS04642849) reported

    @virginmedia the WhatsApp customer service is not fit for purpose. Endless cycle of providing verification details, told you'll be contacted when someone is available and then nothing. Nest day repeat the cycle of "we're opening lines again...are you still in need of help?"

  • TheMunchkin71 Maff (@TheMunchkin71) reported

    @virginmedia Crappy, intermittent broadband. Crappy, crashing tv box, crappy, broken promises, crappy customer service. Possibly the worst provider out there. Years of being fobbed off! I’m off to SKY!

  • WDC1969 Wayne (@WDC1969) reported

    @virginmedia moved into new house, broadband disconnected at old house yesterday and supposed to be on at new house today but although can connect to my WiFi network no Internet access is available

  • konradbarbarian Konrad barbarian Official (@konradbarbarian) reported

    @scorpioredhair @virginmedia Looks like all the networks having this problem Had issue all week and now I have received info about maintenance in the area.

  • ThisIsZackYoung Zack Young (@ThisIsZackYoung) reported

    Paid £3 for @virginmedia wifi, register my devices -- and then get told I don't have any devices left, despite registering. Only way to resolve is to call... €4.15 in call costs later, the issue is resolved. Wifi cost just doubled.
