    @Super_Secretary @virginmedia What a right pain. My 3G is crap too.

    JT (@leeds2d) reported from Bishop Auckland, England

    @virginmedia Hi. I’ve followed online instructions and reset factory settings on the hub and now my Wi-fi is not working

  • Lopek
    Andy Gibson (@Lopek) reported from Darlington, England

    @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.

  • Gurudarlington
    Guru Boutique (@Gurudarlington) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia The number I wanted to retain is at my private address not my work address which is shown on this Twitter account. I doubt the number is still live with BT and I feel let down.

    Matty Erskine (@Matt72423) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia It is now, I think, five months since I made a complaint which has yet to be dealt with. To say that I'm not impressed with your 'customer services' would be a bit of an understatement.

  • InstantKarmaUK
    Jason Brown (@InstantKarmaUK) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia 4 hours on a text support case for my broadband. Told I'd reached the max devices for WiFi on my superhub 3 at 10 (supports 20+), and told to request a booster using the Connect app at £3/month (which MAY resolve nothing) before the case abruptly ended. I'm FUMING!

  • pumbingchap
    Cameron Ross (@pumbingchap) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @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…

  • Lorryolly
    Lorraine Ripley (@Lorryolly) reported from Darlington, England

    @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!!!😥

  • AutonomyCounsel
    Fay Brown #projectsnowball (@AutonomyCounsel) reported from Egglescliffe, England

    ... @virginmedia don't ask us to fix your problems, we're paying you for YOUR SERVICES, not the other way round!

  • pumbingchap
    Cameron Ross (@pumbingchap) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia Does anyone from your customer care actually ring you back? My newly installed so called fast WiFi has not worked correctly since install… Terrible product….

  • Kirsty_x85
    Kirsty 😘💋 (@Kirsty_x85) reported from Darlington, England

    @15minutegamer @virginmedia These go from when it's actually due and not from when it was paid which in my opinion is stupid. Yet I just get this message to say that and I've not even had an ebill.

  • TrackScotti
    Shaun Harrison (@TrackScotti) reported from Darlington, England

    The @virginmedia Hub 3 (and I understand the 4 is just as bad) is a shocking WiFi offering. Any more than 10-15 items on it (not a lot considering what homes have connected these days) and it drops WiFi often! Ethernet connected devices are fine, yes, but not a good look !!

  • JamesGilroy
    James Gilroy (@JamesGilroy) reported from Yarm, England

    @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 @D4N7O It’s not working in the Oldham area either but it’s working for Sky customers

  • Keiran_Mark
    Keiran Griffiths (@Keiran_Mark) reported

    @vdaybabygirl85 @rayquannnnnnn @virginmedia Keeps dropping out? Which VM Hub do you have? I've just got upgraded free from the hub 3 to hub 5 and so far haven't had any drop outs. Give the customer services a call and ask for an engineer (free) and when they come, it's ifs the hub 3, they'll change it for free.

  • Americanvoiceo1
    Joe Duley American voiceover person (@Americanvoiceo1) reported

    @virginmedia STILL! Service completely out! No explanation (although app says 'everything is fine') It's deceiving info. No BB OR phone/TV. CAN'T ring customer service-at all. Now, my life's mission is to escalate w/CISAS as #Virginmedia is costing me financially/professionally.

  • tirpse
    Mark (@tirpse) reported

    @virginmedia every night this week broadbands gone down at the same time. Do a check no issues, check again no issues check again intermittent issues check back in 24 hours. It’s not as if broadband is new, surely you should know what you’re doing by now? Fix it and get reliable!

    JayBee (@JayBee58963922) reported

    Just had a call from supposedly Virgin Media, saying that there was a technical problem on the line, making my voice go all slowly on calls. Wow ! Really . Of course I fell for that. NOT ! What next, make me talk backwards ? Keep aware folks.

  • BrownEyedGirlGB
    Trina S 💙 (@BrownEyedGirlGB) reported

    @virginmedia Today it went at just before 11:00 whilst I was trying to complete probate online. After service check said no issues, then fault with kit, it settled on intermittent issue in your area. 3/?

    Ron Rosenhead (@ronrosenhead) reported

    Hey @virginmedia - yet ANOTHER outage HA54ED. How many more will there be? My elderly mother in law had no TV for 10 days recently. You gave her compensation. How about proper service? Not good enough. Please contact me.
