    Drew Salisbury (@DrewSalisbury5) reported from Barnet, England

    [1] @virginmedia I have not had access to WiFi for a couple of days now. I have checked the cables, rebooted the Hub and run the final diagnostic tests several times. Still nothing. On the one hand, your system tells me that there is a wider broadband issue in the area and […]

    @MikeCoxCowes @virginmedia @HP What hope is there for the smart home when even a wireless printer needs reconfiguring after a simple wi-fi network change?

  • Stefan_baisden

    @virginmedialife @virginmedia The worst service from any company I have ever used. I would like to be removed from your business accounts.

    seanhannam (@seanhannam) reported from Chesham Bois, England

    Didn’t realised upgrading our @virginmedia internet would cripple my home office. Wireless @HP printer can’t find the network and I have to get new boosters for the other rooms in the house. So frustrating - I’ve wasted so much time trying to sort it all out. To no avail.

    @virginmedia all services are down in Watford/Croxley area! Modem with green light since 6am. Any idea??

  • Johnboy82903002
    John carroll (@Johnboy82903002) reported from Brentford, England

    @virginmedia I have done, but there is nowhere to report a total outage, despite the message, and no estimated time. I have no landline or broadband, and haven't for 2 days

  • david_renty
    David Renton (@david_renty) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia bit of a pain that if you want to cancel a new connection on a weekend then the first line cancellation don't seem to know you can't do this...

  • PaulswainDJ
    Paul Swain (@PaulswainDJ) reported from Kings Langley, England

    @virginmedia This is boring. I’ll reach out to third parties to resolve my account issue.

  • Johnboy82903002
    John carroll (@Johnboy82903002) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia Its a fault in the area, I have been given a fix time of 9am on the 19th for the landline and broadband, now my tv has gone down as well

  • JammieBun
    James Brown (@JammieBun) reported from Hillingdon, England

    Hi @virginmedia. I’ve tried phoning you with a complaint, but the calls get shunted into weblink hell. I’ve submitted two complaints through your site which have mysteriously disappeared from my account. And on Twitter the links you send for an online chat only ever lead …

    John Sanderson (@SanderjoJohn) reported from Barnet, England

    @MartinSLewis @bbc5live Had replacement windows from a local company 18 months ago and they were excellent but I will tell you the worst people I have ever dealt with - Virgin Media, even worse than British Gas used to be.

  • Mrspdyer
    Peggy Dyer (@Mrspdyer) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia @mundaytom Not true. No response to complaint letter sent August and when we’ve rung “manager will call you in 3-5 days”. Been told that 3 times. Not one callback. Shambles.

  • gemmak500
    ᒍᗩᑎE (@gemmak500) reported from Chesham Bois, England

    @virginmedia There is no link. No one appears to know what’s going on and there is no ownership or continuity of help. As the paying customer we are supposed to just wait, lose business and accept the situation.

  • Mrspdyer
    Peggy Dyer (@Mrspdyer) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia Customer Service is shocking. It’s now almost 6 hours since I asked on WhatsApp for email address to be corrected and I’m still waiting for a response.

  • SMillbery
    Spencer Millbery (@SMillbery) reported from Harrow Weald, England

    @virginmedia Yes, I’ve done all these. Very frustrating as I only had a new super hub and cabling to house installed 2 weeks ago. Never had such intermittent service in 20 years of using virgin.

  • NLFG
    Nick Chainey 💙 (@NLFG) reported from Hemel Hempstead, England

    @virginmedia I've tried both of those. I was going to restart the router and see if that made any difference. Appreciate the help 👍🏼

    @elisjames @virginmedia Used to have problems in Streatham with Virgin before we change provider. Needed a new router last time.

  • Mrspdyer

    @virginmedia Yes, we’ve all reported it and service update says fix by 4pm today. Thanks.

    John carroll (@Johnboy82903002) reported from Brentford, England

    @virginmedia Good morning, This is the 3rd day with no broadband. You have conflicting messages as to whether there is an issue or not, and whether it has been fixed or not. I have been unable to speak to anyone or log a call out. Can someone please help

    John T Davies 💙🇺🇦💛 (@jtdavies) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia We had issues last month, a nice engineer came (Mohamed) and said it was a local problem. I reported it on the phone again on Tuesday (Aqeelah), she said there are local problems (again). I fed up wit this, it’s been a week of impossible internet, day and night!

    @virginmedia Saturday going in to Sunday no service for the majority of the day and the service checker you recommend tells me there’s an issue in my area. No **** Sherlock! But I bet you’ll still want your full payment when it’s due. And I thought BT broadband was bad

    @virginmedia I thought there used to be something that you could add extra time incase of timing issues on live events ?

    @virginmedia I’m trying to get a quote for a broadband renewal and finding it difficult. Can you help.

    Archie Cook (@monty99_) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, I am stuck in a web chat loop. My Hub has been provisioned on a DS-Lite IPv6 profile on the network side, disabling my Modem Mode and port forwarding. Web chat keeps telling me to do a pinhole reset, which will not fix a network profile issue. Can an agent

    @virginmedia is your website down at all ? , I'm trying to look at some links you sent me earlier ( via X) and all I get is an error message 403 forbidden 🤔

  • Hockeymum5
    hockeymum#5 (@Hockeymum5) reported

    So @virginmedia send me a new hub router coz my old one needed a "boost" and it's worse! Can't even mirror my phone to TV to play a short video for buffering, jumping, stopping which I NEVER had an issue doing with my old router! Pointless "upgrade", want my old router back!

    @virginmedia Absolutely disgusting service. Been having intermittent connection for the past few weeks. They have better internet in Africa.

  • dobbin1957
    Dobbin1957 (@dobbin1957) reported

    @waughzone @virginmedia Agreed. Our broadband, TV, and landline has been off for 36 hours and won’t be back for another 24!! Chirpy but infrequent and meaningless communication from Virgin to tell me how hard they are trying to fix the problem whilst continually delaying the time it will be fixed.
