    @eerosupport hi. I have a Eero 6+. If I connect it to @virginmedia 1gbps service, will I get 1gbps?

  • RefinedSavage Dani Grim (@RefinedSavage) reported from Dudley, England

    Seems like @virginmedia is completely down in our area, I can't even access their support site to log a problem. Also it appears that @O2 is having some sort of issue, my mobile data connection is so slow that royal mail could be a viable messaging alternative.

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

  • StuJonesMusic Stu Jones (@StuJonesMusic) reported from Kidderminster, England

    Hi @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.

  • HJMKent 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!

  • _shannonC shanny C 🌹 (@_shannonC) reported from Solihull, England

    @LenFPS @virginmedia they don’t care. it only happens 7pm onwards but will happen until the next morning so I can’t stream or anything. and they’re telling me to write on a forum as if that will fix it😤

  • _shannonC shanny C 🌹 (@_shannonC) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia haha you mean the same forum where they didn’t answer me for days last time, and they didn’t resolve anything???? waste of time. they told me to check the speed and check for area issues. absolutely awful customer service when i’ve been complaining about this for WEEKS now.

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

    @virginmedia TV completely down this morning ,it’s been intermittent since September nobody helps me just fobbed off. Who is the ombudsman over you I can complain to? I’m no longer prepared to keep paying for services I’m not getting.

  • jfrncs_ John (@jfrncs_) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I have now tried unsuccessfully for 12 hours to use the WhatsApp service as again it goes around in circles if I am not immediately available. The number you helpfully provided hangs up after sending a link… please advise how I talk to someone about my account.

  • shelleex5 Shelly (@shelleex5) reported from West Bromwich, England

  • APLH96 Alec (@APLH96) reported

    @CapelLofft @virginmedia They are the utter worst, I moved out of my Oxfordshire home in May, MAY I tell you; they continue, despite letters, calls, complaints to charge me, threaten me about what’s supposedly owed to them. Next move is a full page advert in a the newspapers, adducing their being s**t.

  • RonnieB67015500 Ronnie Buchanan 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@RonnieB67015500) reported

  • DonaldKDuodu donald duodu (@DonaldKDuodu) reported

    @virginmedia I’m very disappointed in your business service . I’ve cancelled my sky broadband and now I have now service. None of the systems have internet and I spend hours on the phone with no solutions. I am going to cancel definitely!

  • CreswickFiona FionaC (@CreswickFiona) reported

    @virginmedia as a customer of 21 years very disappointed how you treat your loyal customers compared with new customers.

  • RobynJankel Robyn Jankel (@RobynJankel) reported

    Hi @virginmedia, how do I book an(other) engineer to come out to my flat which has had no internet now for 10 days? Calling customer services gives a recorded msg saying you're dealing with the issue, but I don't believe it's an area thing. You're building up the debt...

  • moretyman Callum Moreton (@moretyman) reported

    @virginmedia I'm trying to access my account but it's saying i can't login because i havent verified my email however i havent recieved any verifiction emails

  • rossg17 Ross Gaylor (@rossg17) reported

    @virginmedia Apparently the duct was damaged. Residential account in my wife’s name but nobody seems to want to answer her properly.I can’t tell you how bad the lack of communication is.Unbelievably bad for something that isn’t our fault

  • Jackretro4 Jackretro (@Jackretro4) reported

    @virginmedia Field manager needs to escalate and engineer by Monday or will cancel as virgin is not worth the time or horrible customer service

  • TheFlyingSoop good soop (@TheFlyingSoop) reported

    @virginmedia Trying to sort my parents WiFi and could do with some help, the hub is on with an internet connection, tv box is connected via Ethernet and is working fine, however the hub is still not broadcasting its network so we have nothing to join via WiFi. Any ideas?

  • Daveslack1973 Dave Slack (@Daveslack1973) reported

    @virginmedia There's nothing wrong with the service. VM picked up noise on the line. They came to the house and found a damaged cable. They said they would replace it. No pre pull from exchange needed. Frustrated that I changed my shift to be here but no one showed up or let me know.
