@virginmedia As per last message it says problem in area. It’s back working now (see time of initial mail). 4th time this week it’s been down for prolonged periods of time. Not good

@virginmedia Yes there's no issue on the checker. The connect app says it's fine except for a few times it's said the connection is poor. But 1mb some nights is ridiculous...

@virginmedia Network security warnings, poor speed (even on direct cabled link to router), and we need a wifi booster which with the broadband, phone and tv package I believe is included. Still on hold after two hours! Wasted yesterday waiting for a response on so-called ‘live chat’!

@virginmedia First thing I did, and I run them regularly. Only 53.46 Mbps download and just 9.99 upload on a supposedly 100Mbps service! On a wifi laptop right next to the router it’s just 23.43 and 10.08

@virginmedia Supposedly had 1gig internet installed today but it appears you only brought the slow one with you! Top speed - 400mbps. Oh, and thank for cutting my call after 2 hours. #greatcustomerservice 😡

@virginmedia Don’t try and pass the buck! It’s NOT a windows issue, it ONLY occurs on this Virgin network!

@virginmedia are absolutely useless. Have over 100 properties with Virgin Media Broadband, and you’d think they’d attempt to fix issues and keep our future custom. Safe to say we’re looking for another supplier if there are any recommendations...

@virginmedia it's the same old excuses. Told it would improve but still the same old inconsistent service I've received during the whole of the summer. Can never get through to anyone, complete waste of time today. Shocking customer service!

@virginmedia Today we received outstanding service from Jack the engineer from virgin media. He was polite friendly and determined to rectify the fault which he did. A credit to Virgin media thanks Jack

@virginmedia After more than FOUR HOURS on the phone I eventually got someone competent from billing to confirm I am eligible for one free booster and someone else to talk me through fixing the security issue. You seriously need to prioritise vulnerable customers!

@555Husker @virginmedia I am so frustrated, they have been saying that identified the problems engineers have been dispatched. How long does it take? Two weeks? What a mistake to be with virgin .

@virginmedia The problem is with Virgin Media - you carried out work 2 days ago in Falkirk and the internet and Tv were off for hours - Today, without scheduled work, it's been down again for hours - this isn't a reliable service.

@virginmedia can anyone get in touch with me regarding issues I am facing. I have tried numerous times over WhatsApp and the online chat but unfortunately I am being palmed off. Please help otherwise I'll just cancel.

@virginmedia @patriciacobian @LutzSchueler For 2+ years we’ve endured Virgin Media’s appalling, incompetent service. As a “goodwill gesture” you added Disney+, which we never asked for or used - then charged us for it. We cancelled all services, yet are still being billed.
