Rob Chipman (@robchippyman) reported from Birmingham, England@Tilton247 @virginmedia I had the same for 2 years. Constantly disconnecting on a daily basis . Changed the Hub and it worked straight away. No issues since. Good luck getting a new hub off them though.
-
SorachiTim (@PolymathTim) reported from West Bromwich, EnglandZero Internet connectivity from @virginmedia now for pushing 12 hours. Resetting and/or powering down the hub does nothing, the diagnostic and fault tools just go round and around in an ever more boring circle. #LightningSpeedFarce
-
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.
-
Steve Lees (@measlewolf) reported from Dudley, England@virginmedia Yes, the fault dates back from the 25th August and hopefully a fix will be made tomorrow, if not an engineer is booked for next week. When I finally got through the team were very helpful

-
Chris Psaras (@chrispsaras) reported from Dudley, England@virginmedia no broadband since yesterday afternoon, told engineers were on route but still no update. Your offshore call centre is also unhelpful and not able to offer any further information. Please can you help?

Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Birmingham, England@virginmedia The TV goes all distorted I’ve done webchats phone calls the lot nothing has been resolved was told it was a problem in the area , neighbours have had no issues happened still have issues now but not as often but it’s a bit annoying esp when I’ve not had any money off
-
Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, EnglandMad that I pay £71 a month for 350mbps a month for @virginmedia 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??
-
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.
-
Stephen Bennett (@Stephen12857059) reported from Birmingham, EnglandOnce again the Internet Orovider that claims to be the best @virginmedia, has an outage. I bet all my savings there would be significant kick back if the directors didn’t get paid, because the Lady dealing with their account cannot get online. Time has come for change #cancelVM

Ronnie Harris (@redron1975) reported from Walsall Wood, England@virginmedia guess what ********* your system is down again. Useless pricks.

-
TheBosz (@kolapoagunbiade) reported 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 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

Carrie (@IamCarrieagain) reportedA new Disney Dreamlight Valley free update usually takes about 20 mins total. Switch is currently estimating 4 hours & 20 mins and rising. What the heck? So far, provided a new router I didn't need, have had outages I didn't previously have & now super slow speed @virginmedia
-
Sadie~Jane (@sadiejane29) reported@virginmedia I was meant to get a call back over 2 weeks ago from Maddie. Still waiting 🤔 Clearly saw the state of the complain & decided you couldn't be bothered. Every time my mum has rang, you have documented it as something completely different. Terrible service really 😑
-
Jim_Bo (@burchett84) reported@virginmedia Hi, can someone please help regarding a bill please

kaan #freeimamoglu (@laankaan) reported@virginmedia how stupid is that to push an update to my router/hub in the middle of the ******* day? How the hell am I supposed to work without internet?
-
Poli 🤌 (@CryptoPoli) reported@richardbranson your company has THE WORST customer service ever! Total loss of internet for nearly 1 month, multiple missed engineer appointments, incorrect information, multiple escalations and I still have no idea when it'll be resolved! @virginmedia Absolutely the worst!!
-

They have been briefed about your contract breaches and failure to resolve complaint ref C-010626172 regarding internet faults and unfair termination fees. I will escalate to CISAS/Ombudsman next.
