    Had virgin media a month or so but the WiFi signal is awful, even worse than when I only had a standard broadband connection. #virginmedia #wifi

  • RockettNeil Neil Rockett (@RockettNeil) reported from Wentworth, England

    Dreadful service from @virginmedia. Internet & TV problems for almost a week now. Completely fed up with being asked to unplug, plug back in again & run the set up process. It doesn’t work! They’re happy to take £70 pm for a poor service but reluctant to send an engineer.

  • philipbackhouse Phil Backhouse 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴‍☠️ (@philipbackhouse) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia The sale person sat in my living room for 3/4 hour and told me that they take the cables over the roof, never once mentioned going round all the skirting boards, we would not have even signed up if known, its wasted my time & your engineers time.

  • pso_kt PsO kt (@pso_kt) reported from Sheffield, England

  • RockettNeil Neil Rockett (@RockettNeil) reported from Wentworth, England

    @virginmedia I’ve run all the tests & it’s telling me the ethernet cable is unplugged. I’ve never had an Ethernet cable! I can watch tv & record but can’t access on demand or catch up services. It stopped working at 5.59am 27/2. Please send help! Like a real person. I’m getting fed up now...

  • badger63 judith badger (@badger63) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia good morning, it appears that your service is poor yet again!!! No tv,broadband or phone since yesterday. A call to customer services reveals 03 March for service t return in full. 👏👏👏

  • liamgreene Liam Greene (@liamgreene) reported

    @virginmedia they came to pull the cables damaged the ground and pissed off never said why, then 3 appointments got cancelled, then after a month I got told that they damaged the ground outside, now 2 months later I still don't have my own cables and I'm sick of waiting to be contacted

  • AarchSstanton M Gordon (@AarchSstanton) reported

    @virginmedia why is the service so bad in NW10? This has been going on for weeks now with no explanation.

  • ScouseMouse94 Son Goku (@ScouseMouse94) reported

    @virginmedia I've had plenty of calls over the last year or so. I just get told to use ethernet cables and they can't fix it. We have 6-8 devices at all times, with 1 on ethernet. The package originally stated 9-11 devices while streaming all on Wi-Fi. It's very frustrating.

  • Kiefer1667 Marc Lancaster (@Kiefer1667) reported

    @virginmedia Never given any update as to what the issue is or how long it will take to fix....

  • dmh_307 David Harris (@dmh_307) reported

    @virginmedia I raised a complaint. It took a month to respond. I got the same outcome as the usual calls - with the promise of a £10 credit as a gesture of goodwill for this ordeal, and guess what - didnt fix it, didnt get that £10.

  • 98carisma william (@98carisma) reported

    @virginmedia Yes and it says no issues. My speeds are just poor and my connection is weak yet nothing is being done to rectify this

  • nicchris2001 Nicola (@nicchris2001) reported

    @virginmedia thank you for your rude email today telling us we will have a £40 fine if we do not return the equipment. FYI it was returned 2 days ago, we received returns bag the day before. Clearly made the right choice to not use your company! #rude #virginmedia #customerfocus

  • ronaldhankins10 ronald hankins (@ronaldhankins10) reported

    @virginmedia Please can you help as I really would like a reason to stay with Virgin after all these years. Did email Lutz Schueler but had no response?
