Stu Jones (@StuJonesMusic) reported from Kidderminster, EnglandHi @virginmedia, I am in Kidderminster, Worcestershire (DY11) and my Virgin Media broadband connection is very poor this week. I have checked your website & apparently there are no issues in my area. I have also restated my access point/router twice but no improvement.

Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, EnglandEnded 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
-
Stephen Bennett (@Stephen12857059) reported from Birmingham, England@virginmedia Nobody has called me and the WhatsApp chat is very frustrating and not dealing with the issue. This is very simple, I was sent contract paperwork with an agreed monthly fee of £86.75. Why have I paid two months of excessively higher payments. I should have left VM
-
Stuart Henley (@HenleyStatic) reported from Halesowen, England@virginmedia footy on BBC1 through virgin box about 5 minutes behind tonight. Not good service
-
Howard Martin 🇺🇦🇪🇺 (@HJMKent) reported from Kidderminster, England@virginmedia You have just repeated, word for word, the last tweet you sent me, to which I replied! Pointless trying to have any conversation with @virginmedia because it just goes round in circles! The most appalling customer services in UK in my experience! No more tweets from you, please!
-
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.
-
Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported from Birmingham, England@virginmedia Yes I’ve done that. My connection drops out for a minute or so every 30-60 mins. Hard to replicate. My account has notes regarding the reason why the credit was given last time. Ideally I don’t want to wait so long for the same issue to be fixed.
-
