  @virginmedia Yes, and every-time it says no issue, when there clearly is! It interferes with everything, the hive, the tv everything! Really considering going elsewhere.

  @virginmedia how am I supposed to book an engineer? There are issues with the quick start installation I have and need an engineer to set it up for me

  @Niknaklady1 @virginmedia Oh dear. That's what made me think the problem may not be virgin, if you've got signal on another set. Hope you get it sorted 👍

  @virginmedia Experiencing issues in your area there is a technician in the area but still doesn't explain why my routers fans go really loud and disconnected from everything I have to keep resetting to get it back to normal then on top get "issues in my area" like always

  Susan Johnson (@SusieWJr) reported 23 minutes ago from Swindon, England

  @virginmedia @ste1984r But YOU say 'intermittent' loss when it isn't. It's FULL loss of service. And to only compensate after 2 days is crazy.

• 
  Casey Rain (aka S-Endz) (@CaseyRain) reported 26 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  Causing me to drop out of a work meeting once every 10 minutes. Oh, and Virgin tried to blame it on my hardware? Except... My neighbour is seeing the EXACT same thing. This wasn't happening before the outage. @virginmedia why am I paying you lots of money for a spotty connection?

  @virginmedia They haven't called me yet that's how bad you're

  Colin Hunt (@HuntColin58) reported 47 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  @virginmedia It took me best part of a day Friday 24/3/2023 to contact you to cancel my broadband but since I finally managed to you have been contacting me 4 times a day. We have signed a contract with someone else. Please stop harassing us we have cancelled

• 
  Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported 49 minutes ago from Swindon, England

  @virginmedia No , when I last spoke to someone on the phone the issue was still happening , it doesn’t happen as much now but still happens at least once a day

• 
  TheBosz (@kolapoagunbiade) reported 49 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  @virginmedia Unfortunately, you dont have a ticketing system or cobtact email to track issues, rather a phone system that requires you to wait forever to get through to an agent. A/c number: 095063606. I was charged x2.5 of what i was tp pay.

  Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported 50 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  Mad that I pay £71 a month for 350mbps for @virginmedia Broadband 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?

• 
  Beard Punk (@BeardPunk) reported 53 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

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

• 
  Steve Lees (@measlewolf) reported 55 minutes ago from Dudley, England

  @virginmedia I’m currently on hold. My mum is in her 70’s and waited in for an engineer only for them to send a text 10mins before to say you were coming in the 26th. The original appointment was the 21st and her TV service has been down for well over a week.

  Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported 55 minutes ago from Solihull, England

  Had problems with my TV since September now can’t get any live football or movies @virginmedia

• 
  Scott badham (@scbadham) reported 57 minutes ago from West Bromwich, England

  @virginmedia really disappointed in the service lately all it does is keep dropping. I’ve had no Internet services for the last hour again the fourth time this week and it’s still not working

• 
  Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported 57 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  @virginmedia But when a contract is agreed like a mortgage or a fixed energy deal surely the agreement should last the full term. I’ve had issues since September & been told I can’t leave due to being under a contract so why should my costs go up when I’ve got an agreement in place until Dec

  @virginmedia Async live chat (WhatsApp) sucks as you let me text you with a problem, let it sit for hours, then close it down if I don’t reply within 5 mins and repeat. I’ll just ignore all the comms.

  Andrew Markou (@Andyfoodie) reported 59 minutes ago from Tamworth District, England

  Hi @virginmedia I live in the B77 4LD area and we use you as our Broadband providers. Has the network gone down and if so approximately when will it get fixed and be back up and running?

  @virginmedia What is the point, your website keeps saying you are looking into it and keeps changing the fix time, you will just say the same. 😐

  @VirginMediaNews Ireland's Minister for Justice: "Irish people are stupid". You're a disgrace O'Callaghan. The only people being manipulated are those who only get their news from RTE, Virgin Media etc.

  Paul Parkin (@kingoftheshed) reported 10 minutes ago

  @virginmedia And once again it goes down just I’m about to watch the boxing. Sort it or I’m putting in a formal complaint.

• 
  Stewart Hawtin (@HawtinStewart) reported 10 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I’ve DM 2 hours ago. Nothing. I’ve rung your number. Waited 30 minutes. And then again. Nothing. What kind of service is this? How do you speak to a human?

• 
  Martin Lawton (@MartinLawton) reported 10 minutes ago

  @virginmedia without a doubt one of the worst companies to deal with, put your bills up to say services need improving and they get worse

• 
  Alloqui Strix (@AlloquiStrix) reported 11 minutes ago

  @virginmedia First thing this morning you said the outage in my area (22) would continue for another week,then another message saying it would be fixed today, and now a message saying it'll be a week again. Is there a playbook you guys are using to wind up its customers?

• 
  V (@vp_matic) reported 12 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Broadband down since 7am this morning. With a secluded repair date of 2days from now! ‘Register of loss of service In Order to receive compensation’ impossible to locate on your app or any of your web pages? Yet a Price increase this month! Absolutely Shameful!!

• 
  Buzz (@dombuz) reported 19 minutes ago

  So, tomorrow begins the process of renewing my virgin media for the same price they offer new customers. My current deal renewal price £29.99pcm. New customer £24. The haggle and 1 hour of the worst customer service help line will be worth it.

  Patrick McNamara (@PaddyMc_06) reported 20 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I’m trying to get ahold of you but your phone service is on a loop. Tell me why you have not carried over my parents landline of over 40 years as requested and confimed. This needs to be fixed ASAP for very impotent specific reasons. Please get in touch to sort this!

  @virginmedia @sharonmariahall Yes excellent internet speeds & the only provider you can put the router into modem mode & add your own kit. 9 times out of 10 any WiFi issues are down to devices or where you have the router not the service. If you have a WiFi pod ensure you set up WiFi back haul.
