    @virginmedia had a phone call from Virgin Technical Support. How can i be sure this is genuine ?

  • UrineMan oluwa 🇳🇬 (@UrineMan) reported from Burnham, England

    it should be illegal for virgin media to advertise their broadband as the fastest and most reliable. it’s absolutely ****

  • REDROBB1967 ROB FARACE 💙 (@REDROBB1967) reported from Barnet, England

  • K_G_Spearpoint Ken Spearpoint💙⚡️❤️😷 (@K_G_Spearpoint) reported from Watford, England

    No access to my @virginmedia e-Mail all day. Still no resolution after 30 minutes on the phone. Absolutely useless & very angry😡

  • peteholbrook Peter Holbrook (he) (@peteholbrook) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia In relation to a potential weakness in security. I’ve got a retro phone with no caller ID. I have a name, they provided a customer licence number for me to check and to authenticate them as genuine . I have a name and they said they were phoning from Hampshire.

  • jpmcic Jean-Paul Marc (@jpmcic) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia Yes. Am having more connectivity issues now and the lights are flashing and unable to establish a connection.

  • khem21766391 Khemical (@khem21766391) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia Yes, it says I have a good internet speed which is incorrect. As I said before, Iv contacted your customer service and one of your agents said that the internet will be down until 23rd March & that there is an outage in the area. Surely it cant take that long to correct a fault

  • craiginmotion craig crawford (@craiginmotion) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia F*k YOU. No wifi for a week. Waiting for a supervisor to call me back within 24 hours. FOUR DAYS Later and 2 IDIOT technicians ... cancel my service NOW. I’m moving my building Into the 22nd century. Keep playing with copper wires See ya *******

  • dkurland92 Donnchadh (@dkurland92) reported from Brentford, England

    @virginmedia is the service down across #london or ?

  • hiaw61 Robert Frame (@hiaw61) reported from Hatfield, England

    @virginmedia £90 a month for an absolute rubbish service called the other day and the favorite saying was reboot was supposed to be put through through to the technical department on to hold on for 25 mins I gave up had to send this not using WiFi

  • jpmcic Jean-Paul Marc (@jpmcic) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia 33Mbps DL and 19.59 Mbps UL... but however three attempts at running the Speedtest. On the first two attempts the UL test failed reporting connectivity issues.

  • BeesWingedEyes Sophie Joanna (@BeesWingedEyes) reported from Watford, England

    @virginmedia Thanks. Yes the account was transferred to my mother - but we didn’t realise we’d lose his email address too. We haven’t been able to let people know he’s died because we don’t know who is still messaging him. I just can’t get anywhere with the complaint system.

  • jpmcic Jean-Paul Marc (@jpmcic) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia serious issues, getting less than 18Mbps on a 350Mbps package for past 24 hours and connection drop-outs. Impacting my ability to work and very frustrating senior leadership call.

  • jpmcic Jean-Paul Marc (@jpmcic) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia No service issues showing via your website but many being reported. Is 3rd party tracking sites. Have fun the test more than 6 times today so unable to report fault.

  • jpmcic Jean-Paul Marc (@jpmcic) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia It is my wired connection that is at fault. Have literally plugged my laptop in directly to the Virgin Hub box and run various tests and network diagnostics for which I have confirmed the slow speeds.

  • BethB80 Amy B (@BethB80) reported

    @virginmedia your broadband speeds are TERRIBLE at the moment. Supposed to be up to 100mbps and I have an upload speed of 9 mbps.

  • ScottGuest7 Man Utd Mad🐝 (@ScottGuest7) reported

    @IanBorrett @virginmedia My parents have @virginmedia (even tho I said don't) they have had nothing but grief with it. Now they can only communicate through email which is a waste of time. They are trying to get out if their contract now it's been that bad

  • Paulgoodjohn1 Paul goodjohn (@Paulgoodjohn1) reported

    @virginmedia Thank you very much for your swift reply I’ll write a letter detailing all the problems and the lack of help from your customer care team been nearly a month now with no service all I get is excuses and false information. it’s not worth ringing virgin as I get the same run around

  • damolastayup Trafalgar Law (@damolastayup) reported

    @virginmedia Held the button down till it restarted. Left it for 10-15 mins. Didnt work. Repeat. Didnt work. Now I'm talking to you

  • EledaEdwin Adele Edwin-Lamerton (@EledaEdwin) reported

    @virginmedia After almost 1 hour on the phone I got through to 2nd line support who knew nothing despite me having been put through by another team. Had to start again with data protection & they wanted to repeat the same checks again. Fault still not logged. Why can’t you take online reports

  • Lucysbooks26 Lucylovesbooks (@Lucysbooks26) reported

    @virginmedia Called them just get to speak to someone offshore who advises me I need to upgrade my package. Over 6 hours of calls past around dept to dept and cut off 4 times, it's very frustrating and issues still not resolved.

  • EledaEdwin Adele Edwin-Lamerton (@EledaEdwin) reported

    @virginmedia Did that and the service status check could not be completed. I’ve had no dial tone for a while now. There is a fault with the line and an engineer needs to come out. Why is it so hard to tell you that?

  • Chris22Webb Chris Webb💙 (@Chris22Webb) reported

    @beckettfish @mouthwaite @virginmedia Yes my husband does this when teaching on teams. I nearly hang myself on the cablemhe has going up the stairs from the router but at least it is reliable.

  • yasmeister Yasemin Kay Allen (@yasmeister) reported

    @virginmedia I’d like to speak to someone over the phone as the issue is too long winded to break down into 140 characters. My requests for calls were never returned despite logging several complaints.

  • Soctty123 Soctty123 (@Soctty123) reported

    @laineyelmes @virginmedia Phoned yesterday and was told to hard reset. Since then it's been worse than ever. I'm tempted to check if I've got an old hub to try as never had this problem before other than a very rare outage.
