    Ended up just reconnecting my TP Link router, it seems the problems were with my Hub 5 because everything seems to be working fine now. Not great @virginmedia

    @virginmedia Thanks. While I’m on the subject - why does it ALWAYS take multiple attempts to sort anything out with VM? Your WhatsApp and online support workers usually sign off with ‘rest assured you will not have to contact us again’. But this is rarely true?

    @virginmedia We had issuse with our service, and was told we would need new cables. We the new cables installed. They left cabels hanging in the garden which has since been removed. Our grass is ruined (I have photos) it looks like next doors cable are also under or grass????

    @KellyQuilt @virginmedia Virgin are hopeless for ease of contact. My daughter was with them and the service wasn’t at all good. This nonsense about calling them at a time to suit them is just ludicrous. They need to admit that they (& others) don’t staff adequately to suit their customers convenience. 🤬

    @virginmedia Typical Virgin Media response. Passing me on. Not actually solving the problem. I will never come back to @virginmedia and will advise all my friends never to think of using you.

    @virginmedia right I’ve had issues for nearly a month I’ve done the link there’s a problem with the TV box please can I speak to a human ? This is seriously taking the mick now

  • mrmjprice
    Martin Price (@mrmjprice) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia I have been but they couldn’t get a good-enough price and directed me to the self-service page but I get “customer-exclusion” at the end of the URL which tells me to use chat.

    @virginmedia Sending me over bill again and again n customer service is even more worst

  • Phil_Bonna

    @Angela_Griffin @virginmedia I have the fibre optic broadband for £23.95 month and the customer service is great

  • ReissOmari
    Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, England

    Mad that I pay £71 a month for 350mbps a month for @virginmedia for them to only supply me with 40mbps, internet is barely moving, can’t even load basic web pages on my MacBook or phone. Problems in the Birmingham area??

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

    @Ofcom can I complain about @virginmedia to yourselves? Had no TV service for nearly a month with no help.

    @IanMurphy111 @virginmedia Been with them since Telewest I don’t know why I stay false promises poor service

  • BeardPunk

    @virginmedia Rebooted several times. Wi-Fi works fine, it’s just the VPN. Automated message says there’s still an issue.

  • F1Dweeb

    Broadband not working folks and your site keeps crashing on 4g @virginmedia

  • CaseyRain
    Casey Rain (aka S-Endz) (@CaseyRain) reported from Birmingham, England

    Had an @virginmedia broadband outage on Sunday for 2 hours. Since then, connection so spotty that I'm getting 10 seconds of completely dropped packets followed by 20 seconds of slow-as-molasses ping times once every 10 minutes.

    Kiel (@k1El_w) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia @YodelOnline your ability to deliver equipment is shocking!!! The customer service you provide is even worse!!!

  • kevmaslin
    Kev Maslin (@kevmaslin) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia The ideal resolution would have been for VM to return the document as originally promised. We have dealt with other companies in this regard and all have been prompt and professional. Even the DWP accepted a photocopy of the POA. Why VM couldn't is entirely beyond me.

  • nippa77
    Neil Simpson (@nippa77) reported from Coventry, England

    @virginmedia They are merely stating it is an “inconsistent fault” No explanation as to why and what is being done to resolve the problem

    @virginmedia @LutzSchueler I’ve called in and I’m now speaking to someone called Kumar from faults and billing who doesn’t speak or understand a word of English refusing to put me through to the correct team to discuss my complaint what kind of crap do you employ

  • paulallancurtis

    Yes, all weekend @virginmedia. Pretty poor, I get that it is Easter weekend but 4 days with no Broadband is bonkers.

    Cam (@Snickerboi95020) reported

    @TheMangoDemon @MrDalekJD I think it’s virgin media fibre connection - 2.5gbps up and down, it’s like £70 tho I think

  • BathSupporters
    Bath Supporters (@BathSupporters) reported

    @KenTrowbridge3 @virginmedia Worst supplier I have ever had - but we have no choice for full fibre here, so it’s literally the best of a bad bunch. I will change when other providers come in at a heartbeat!

    Is @virginmedia down ?

  • AlloquiStrix
    Alloqui Strix (@AlloquiStrix) reported

    @virginmedia an outage in my area since Tuesday. There is supposed to be a means to register for compensation for loss of service, but the website doesn't contain any buttons to do so - are you making it difficult on purpose noting "if you do not register you don't qualify"?

    @official_throne Virgin Media is having an outage until 7th April due to the religious weekend sooo can't stream until they fix the issue... 😔
