  • Claredo91857219 Clare doyle (@Claredo91857219) reported from Barnsley, England

  • JoeInSheffield Joe 🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺🔶 (@JoeInSheffield) reported from Sheffield, England

    @TrainedPengling @virginmedia The problem I have with this, is that whenever their broadband has gone down, so had my mobile with them at same time. Like when it all went down nationwide earlier this month. Having free 4g when you actually can't connect is kinda pointless lol

  • CaVaLiEr666 ℝ𝕚𝕔𝕙𝕒𝕣𝕕 ℝ𝕖𝕟𝕤𝕙𝕒𝕨 (@CaVaLiEr666) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Terrible I cant get above 90 ish, nothing changed inside and everything wired, has to be the exchange again, took weeks last time this happened

  • DebbieCock Debbie Cockerill (@DebbieCock) reported from Barnsley, England

    @virginmedia No we didn’t speak to anyone, I had better things to do with my Saturday then wait for someone to answer. We don’t have an issue, we want to cancel with Virgin!

  • GypsumFantastic Gypsum Fantastic (@GypsumFantastic) reported from Wombwell, England

    @virginmedia It’s happening with both. No service whatsoever. I can get to superhub’s web control panel 192.168.0.1 just fine.

  • pidgpie Chris,,,, (@pidgpie) reported from Rotherham, England

    @virginmedia great Friday afternoon TV internet gone off landline OK network availability C130 C133 in S65 area

  • JoeInSheffield Joe 🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺🔶 (@JoeInSheffield) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Nothing has happened today, I'm just commenting on your offer to give all broadband customers free mobile 4g when your broadband goes down. Whenever my broadband had gone down, so has my cellular connection also.

  • pidgpie Chris,,,, (@pidgpie) reported from Rotherham, England

    @virginmedia Mobile never had it before

  • nathandainty Nathan Dainty (@nathandainty) reported from Sheffield, England

    @sky @virginmedia hey @SkyUK You should tell your customer service: “Online, mail and telephone order customers have the right to cancel their order for a limited time even if the goods aren’t faulty. Sales of this kind are known as ‘distance selling’…

  • GypsumFantastic Gypsum Fantastic (@GypsumFantastic) reported from Wombwell, England

    @virginmedia hi. My broadband isn’t working this morning. S73. Service status page says no issues.

  • SandraBroadley Sandra Broadley (@SandraBroadley) reported

    @virginmedia My husband has already tried that service but no one responded to him. This still doesn’t solve the issue. I think it might be better to involve @OmbudServices as this just seems to be more time wasted when no one actually seems to be able to help or resolve this.

  • AldoScrim89 AlanScrim89 (@AldoScrim89) reported

    @virginmedia what time do your customer support lines close? Been on hold listening to the same songs on repeat for the last half an hour... getting tiresome now

  • julie27716630 jhl 🍃💚🍃 💙 (@julie27716630) reported

    @queenchristina_ @virginmedia Cancel your direct debit .... they’ll soon be in touch !!

  • daniel62r Dan62 (@daniel62r) reported

    @virginmedia At the moment no - although signal drops in bedroom and kitchen. But I am not happy with the service and customer service in general for the reasons I have already stated

  • AllotmentOwner Jason Johns (@AllotmentOwner) reported

    @virginmedia why are you still using COVID as an excuse for terrible customer service a year into the pandemic? Other companies have adapted but you seem to think it is an acceptable excuse? #poorcustomerservice #virginmediadown

  • MUSTARDBEAR Tink (@MUSTARDBEAR) reported

    @SquidGaming I only ever hear bad things from peoples experiences with Virgin Media

  • jennab2009 Jenna Bel (@jennab2009) reported

    @virginmedia please help been placed on a silent hold for 10 mins all I need to do is cancel my order due to change in moving date. You agent was very rude! Please help

  • ashasilva asha (@ashasilva) reported

    @virginmedia I want to know what’s hppeneing with my complaint that I was advised to action by yourselves over Twitter which I finally actioned but got nothing back saying I’d filled it in. So now I want answers

  • LumberedJack Jack Holdawanski (@LumberedJack) reported

    @virginmedia I'm experiencing terrible latency and packet on my xbox one with a wired connection. I was in the phone for 2 hours with your customer service team trying to solve it and I'm back to where I started, can you explain this?

  • KillerMonster96 KillerMonster (@KillerMonster96) reported

    @virginmedia They are still exactly the same, super unstable, bit rates dropping from 200-7000 all the time.
