@virginmedia There isn’t any reported problems in my area but mine is very ‘hit and miss’ at the moment. I’ll go for periods where nothing will upload/download at all

@virginmedia Thanks for your reply. I’ve done all that’s recommended. Logged complaints, customer service can’t help, I’m still awaiting a supervisor to contact…

@cyclingbetting @virginmedia Had a similar issue before Christmas. One of their engineers came out, changed router cable and some settings on router. Works champion now

@virginmedia Yes unable to use it. Wireless is very poor and was great during the first couple of weeks. Uploading is very hot and miss. Not happy considering I’m paying for fast broadband. My phone rarely connects to it unless I’m fairly close to the router. This can’t be right

@virginmedia They advised, reset, changing from 2.4 to 5. Then back again. Changing the settings on the account. Done this multiple times. Customer service hung up on me then I rang back again and was told I hung up on them. Awaiting a supervisor call. It’s never worked since installation

@virginmedia The worst bit is that I was on hold for 36 minutes listened to the same song 3 times and then was hung up on.

@virginmedia so dissatisfied when I made a call to see if any reductions could be me to be fobbed off and advised I have the best package, the advisor was no help at all and clearly reading from a script. No bedside manner. And now my landline has suddenly stopped working!!!😥

@virginmedia It's the continued problems that annoy me. Down again now, third time this Easter Weekend. Yes it's showing as down on your dashboard. I always check & flag it when I (also) have a problem. Getting worse all the time. Beyond a joke.

@virginmedia Why does your organisation make it so difficult to raise a complaint? Please advise with whom I may raise this.

@virginmedia I look forward to receiving your offer regarding the complaints that I already made and have still not received a response. I suppose you could consider this a further complaint that your complaints process is inadequate.

Our @virginmedia package - both TV and broadband- has been really poor lately. Totally frustrating 😑

@virginmedia @EmzieGG I'm in a similar area and all they have said over the phone is "It could take a week to fix" and that we'll get a message when it's done. 🙄

(@imemmaprice) reported
Yet again @virginmedia your customer service is the worst I've ever experienced. An hour on the phone on Web chat and then calling you to be sent in circles, not listened to and no apology. @richardbranson you need better staff working for you😐

Chris Rooney
(@CBRooooney) reported
@virginmedia I already gave you the postcode - you could go and talk to your own colleagues: the ones who actually know as opposed to the ones who were rude and hung up on me. I don't have access to the people who know the answer. Who does? @ofcom?

@virginmedia As mentioned, I already called, I don’t have time to sit on a fone going thru numerous options to get to a person!! £113 to £96 was the best offer! Pretty poor tbh which is why I will be looking elsewhere!

@virginmedia It’s been 3 days not being able to view videos or gifs on Twitter. My neighbours have Virgin Media but I don’t seem to get this problem, it’s only with my Wifi connection.

Mandy
(@Mandyambo75) reported
@virginmedia still having Internet issues. I was told i need to purchase boosters although it is the the network issue. very sad. I need the name of the ombudsman so that I could make a proper complaint as my complaint with virgin has been closed (not sure why)

Zoya
(@Zoya_o1) reported
@virginmedia I switched Childsafe off but Twitter videos are still not working. I don't have Virgin mobile but the family member who does says videos aren't working. It's getting really annoying now as Virgin Media aren't giving any explanation or when the issue will resolve.
