  • measlewolf Steve Lees (@measlewolf) reported 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.

  • iamscorchy iamscorchy (@iamscorchy) reported from Wednesfield, England

    Virgin media is literally dog! Worst thing I've done is keep renewing with you every year next year 100% going with bt! Forever dropping out reconnecting utter pointless meant to be 1gig complete waffle! @Virgin #virginmedia

  • ________Danny Satish Danny Paul (@________Danny) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia I received my new 500+mps broadband only to get 6mps on my phone in my room. The Router is Terrible and cannot send the speed to devices via wifi. Not Good for anyone

  • beffycuk 𝚋𝚎𝚝𝚑 (@beffycuk) reported from Dudley, England

    @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.

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

    @virginmedia afternoon. I’ve been on hold for 25 mins and when I finally got through the line went dead after security questions. My mum has been without her TV service for over a week. Last night an engineer was due by 6 o’clock and never showed. Another text stating the 26th

  • sharpeangle Graham Sharpe (@sharpeangle) reported

    @virginmedia Why can't anyone help without having to go through this rigmarole? I've been an a/c holder for years yet am getting no practical help. I'm a journalist with 7900 followers and ma now tempted just to write a story about this. Should I? Why join a community and hope for an answer?

    @virginmedia No . Rang a few times about this about and you do your tests down the line and say it’s fine

    @virginmedia The hub is in a back bedroom which I used to use as an office, and my main computer is through a solid wall. I use an iPad and tv on the ground floor. I have an Apple Airport device to boost the signal on the ground floor.

    @virginmedia Good morning. The speed is good at the moment. However, we have constant problems with the service dropping out. Yesterday and the day before was particularly bad throughout the whole day.

  • Bernard_daSilva Bernard (@Bernard_daSilva) reported

    @virginmedia That's for getting back, yes I have run a virus and malware scan and cleared all malware from a recently purchased Windows laptop. The issue now seems to be with companies blocking my IP address
