    @virginmedia Hi please send an engineer to my house to sort out the useless Hub 4 box that replaced my reliable and efficient Hub 3. I have asked the community for a solution and they say get engineer out to separate the 2 and 5 GEXT. Fed up of paying good £ for a crap service!

    @virginmedia excuse me, why was I on hold for a whole hour and 5 minutes and then you lot hung up on me? Customer service on zero.

  • Ryan_JL
    Ryan (@Ryan_JL) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia call constantly cuts out when ringing and I get ‘advised’ 5 times to go online (which doesn’t help at all). Really get the impression virgin don’t want to help! What’s going on?

  • jit_singh99
    Jit (@jit_singh99) reported from Romford, England

    I’m a new customer with @virginmedia. Should be getting 200MB download. But literally move 2/3 meters away from router and it drops significantly and device is just buffering. Furthermore trying to resolve this via ur call centre is a joke. Been on hold for 50mins now.

  • TraceyElliott17
    Tracey Elliott (@TraceyElliott17) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @virginmedia I have never known such incompetence in a company! Four times I’ve been told we’re going to get a refund after an hour on the phone. Wrong amount taken again! You just seem to treat your customers with contempt!

  • fatsherkey
    Anuradha (@fatsherkey) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia your online bot is so rubbish. How on earth can I speak to a human who can help me to sort out my issue?

  • ImaginaryCard
    Mo-Mo (@ImaginaryCard) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @virginmedia it's been 3 hours and we still don't have WiFi. We shouldn't have to wait 48 hours of bad service for a refund when this **** happens every few days 😵#virginmediadown

    Rana Brightman (@rana_banana) reported from London, England

    @k_co @virginmedia That is insane. Urgh. We’re hostages to **** service with the promise of the fastest speeds ever!!!

  • andylockran
    Andy 🏊🚴🏻🏃 (@andylockran) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @nlitchfield @virginmedia @YodelOnline Aye, the fact it’s become a bit of a critical service from me to be able to work from home.

  • rana_banana
    Rana Brightman (@rana_banana) reported from London, England

    As customer service standards go, @virginmedia sucks badly. They need to seriously ask themselves, is letting someone wait 45 mins and counting for someone to help with a technical fault acceptable? NO IT ISN’T. HEEEELLLLOOOOO???!! WHEN ARE YOU PICKING UP??!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬

  • pauldurie
    p2.0 ✊🏻 🏳️‍🌈 #BLM (@pauldurie) reported from London, England

    @OwenJones84 @virginmedia @JeremyVineOn5 Usually a router issue of inefficient switching between bands 2.4GHz and 5GHz Can go into router settings and explicitly set it to 2.4GHz (lower speed/better range) or 5GHz (higher speed/poorer range)

  • JetsetSusan
    Susan Elizabeth (@JetsetSusan) reported from Hackney, England

    @mikast71 @virginmedia Thanks. I also finally got through to a human who said “everything looks fine on our side, sorry you’re having problems.” Kind of at a loss here. Just going to stop the direct debit for the month to see if that generates a response from them.

  • yoelbrightman
    Yoel Brightman (@yoelbrightman) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia having trouble with my broadband speeds having installed hub4 and spent over an hour trying to get through to customer services. Can you help please?

  • NickyJBeale
    Nicky Beale (@NickyJBeale) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia not very happy with the service from Virgin Media! After looking to leave them last week they promised to improve the WiFi and install a 2nd box. Well we have never and now they want to install the 2nd box in a MONTH and a HALF! #poorservice #virginmedia

    Hi @virginmedia, spent over an hour today tryng to confirm new contract & report a fault - just reviewed new contract & it's £10 more a month than agreed over 'phone & never got to speak to someone about the fault. Would make big difference to my day tomorrow if could sort both!

    @virginmedia how can your TV go app on laptop be so poor! Keeps asking for device to be registered which I've done and registered the same device 4 times still won't work! How can a company charge so much yet have such poor software no wonder so many people pirate the football!

    @virginmedia Hi. Can you please contact me about my broadband as it is giving out a very weak signal at the moment. Thanks

  • ourmand1712
    Amanda Bullock (@ourmand1712) reported

    @virginmedia We are also paying for 350mbps and have the top package and 4 TiVo boxes amongst telephone and mobile packages. You get a lot of money out of us and we are not getting the full service we have been contracted.

  • simonlyall_p
    simon lyall (@simonlyall_p) reported

    And again @virginmedia this has been going intermittent for weeks now. Multiple speed tests show packet loss and poor speed. Hour+ waits on hold on phone to get hung up on. What's being done?
