  • LB_WFC Liam (@LB_WFC) reported from Willenhall, England

    @virginmedia It does. The internet will randomly cut out then come back on 2/3 minutes later. I’ve factor reset it via the router setting and a manual factory reset with no luck.

  • stumccullagh Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Solihull, England

  • shaunreeves Shaun Reeves (@shaunreeves) reported from Fradley and Streethay, England

    @virginmedia Lichfield area having problems. I’ve gone from 600mbps this morning to less than a meg. According to online no know issues. Connect app and your online diagnostic tool doesn’t support Hub4 so can even test that way. Done a rest of hub. Nothing. Help!

  • brettellis1982 Brett Ellis (@brettellis1982) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia I am signed in on the web and on my virgin app. Will not let me sign in to the connect app

  • brettellis1982 Brett Ellis (@brettellis1982) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia have the virgin connect app.... however it will not let me sign in. Have changed password etc and it still says ‘wrong username or password’. Driving me mad!

  • tomexh1 Tomexh (@tomexh1) reported from Birmingham, England

    @bt_uk worst mistake I made and I am locked in for 2 years, there is no doubt Virginmedia can not be beaten in Birmingham, please let me go back

  • Sammykins9486 Samantha (@Sammykins9486) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia how can i access online chat? Unhappy with a few things , and trying to get through to you over the phone is never a good result, have better service on the online chat service

  • alex_bann Alex Bann (@alex_bann) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia New V6 box (less than a month old) alternates between flashing red & white lights. Tried to reset using your help guide - still not working. How do I sort this out? #childreninthehouse

  • stumccullagh Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia I think its our router etc we have poor Internet speed all the time no Internet in certain rooms i actually have better signal with next doors Internet, I've been ringing up for months with no help!

  • shaunreeves Shaun Reeves (@shaunreeves) reported from Fradley and Streethay, England

    @virginmedia It appears to have been resolved. However it is rather alarming to hear members of our village had been told by your customer service team “the earliest fix would be 6th Jan 2021”.

  • dean_kavanagh Dean Kavanagh (@dean_kavanagh) reported from Solihull, England

    @barbs_paul @EE Up there with @virginmedia, horrendous service for existing customers!

  • Dawn08503854 Dawnie (@Dawn08503854) reported from Wednesfield, England

  • amy_brunny Amy (@amy_brunny) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia your mobile customer service is ****!

  • a_Muss60 Andy (@a_Muss60) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia 😱 a 100mb internet, TV and phone service that works.

  • MutliRaceMan Jean Thierry (@MutliRaceMan) reported from Birmingham, England

    @keith_bloke @virginmedia CS agent hung up on you? The only justification for that is if you used bad language. Otherwise they should be attempting to resolve the issue for you. Is this for your Dad? Mobile providers are universally poor. They consider themselves never in the wrong. I’m with @EE also poor

  • JWRogers82 James Rogers (@JWRogers82) reported from Perton, England

  • Damofitz Damien Fitzgerald (@Damofitz) reported

    @virginmedia This is taking the utter piss now. Not only have I not resolved the first issue, you have just generated another bill for the same mobile that is supposed to be part of the package

  • Markycot Mark Cottrill (@Markycot) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, finally, they have said they will send out a different power supply, this is unacceptable delays and problems!

  • FGuerrouani Flo Guerrouani (@FGuerrouani) reported

    @virginmedia I've called this number at least a dozen time throughout Jan & Feb and they kept saying the issue would be fixed at 6pm the same day. That's why I'm contacting you here today to get clear answers which I can't get from the faults team #losingmyvirginit @Ofcom

  • janescloud Jane (@janescloud) reported

    @MPIainDS people in the E4 area have been unable to work for days due to the @virginmedia internet service having 0 upload speed. Every day they say it will be fixed by 2pm, every day it’s not fixed. Can you escalate this? They will not compensate for loss of earnings.

  • Damofitz Damien Fitzgerald (@Damofitz) reported

    @virginmedia I can't get through by phone, the community page is a joke as no one can do anything, the chat service is pointless as by the time you get a reply, the agent has finished for the day and the new person has to start fresh or they book a bloody engineer.

  • Deb1961Deb Deborah Marks (@Deb1961Deb) reported

    @virginmedia Hmmm if you class a short outage as an 'improvement'?

  • Wandster Rich H Wand (@Wandster) reported

    @virginmedia We are suffering ongoing issues. Today is ok so far. I can't afford to spend hours phoning VM every time there is an issue. And our issue is the same for everyone on the street, so one person from our group calls and then updates the rest of the group.

  • janescloud Jane (@janescloud) reported

    @virginmedia It says the problem will be fixed by 2pm. It has said that every day for a week. I’ve escalated the problem to my local MP as no on in the area can work if they need to send anything bigger than a basic email.

  • tony_pharo Tony pharo (@tony_pharo) reported

    @virginmedia Not at home today but was terrible yesterday. I have even spent £200 on a signal booster from BT to get WiFi all over my house! Is this refundable?

  • FincUnderscoreH 𝐹𝒾𝓃𝒸_𝐻 (@FincUnderscoreH) reported

    @fahadking_305 @SbFramesInOrder stop saying im a virgin because the sim card i use is from virginmedia. it doesnt help.
