My WiFi is working from my hub but yet its booting me out of Destiny 2 and not just that but the chat parties on PS5 itself

    @virginmedia can you provide any update on the broadband outage please? Fourth day trying to run a business without Internet. You're killing us here.

  • Mark6Grainger MarkHoward (@Mark6Grainger) reported

    @virginmedia Get hold of them that's the problem. All I get is a link from the website

  • JaneMil86654989 Jane Miller (@JaneMil86654989) reported

    @virginmedia Why have my parents been charged £24 for a call that you admitted they never made? Their phone number was hacked in YOUR system, that they pay you for, how then is it not your fault? It's a Nigerian area code & they know no one in that country.

  • SammChelseaa SamanthaChelsea (@SammChelseaa) reported

    @virginmedia my internet has been down the whole day, absolute joke!

  • baldmack1966 Andy Mackenzie (@baldmack1966) reported

    @virginmedia absolutely shocking customer service, been waiting for nearly 24hrs now to speak to a REAL person and not a bit. @richardbranson

  • roibeard67 Roibeard (@roibeard67) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve called both of these numbers and they can’t help and tell me a technician will call you in 5 working days, I’ve already been in touch since last Tuesday, honestly I’m not being sarcastic but the VM service is hopeless and wouldn’t recommend too anyone

  • jonathanboogles Jonathan Louis (@jonathanboogles) reported

    @virginmedia do you require a serial number for a, broken door cabinet thanks

  • BryanLedger B Ledger (@BryanLedger) reported

    @virginmedia This is not what i asked, i believe your responses on behalf of @virginmedia make very clear where you stand on customer service. We will be swapping internet provider at the soonest possible chance and i would recommend against virgin to anyone who reads this.

  • _Cr1ss Criss (@_Cr1ss) reported

    @virginmedia No lights just the white light that’s always on .. but since you emailed saying reboot the hub because you’ve increase it form M100 to M125 it’s been crap. Netflix/Twitch don’t stream hd really bad quality. Apps on my phone open slow have to turn wifi off go on to my 4G/5G
