    @virginmedia I finally got through to a real person via text today and booked a landline appointment, although It’s not the anytime plan that I wanted . Never had so much trouble switching provider. Almost not worth it.

    Rt. Hon Annie (@AnnielizzieSten) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia It’s strange because the online help claims there’s no problem but the phone says there’s a major problem in the area. Perhaps the online help needs updating because it’s no help at all

    @virginmedia whenever I’m on zoom upstairs and away from my route my wifi always seems to drop out. It’s always says my internet connection is unstable. I’ve restarted router etc is there anything else I can do to boost it

    @virginmedia the cheek or virgin media staff complain about virgin router dropping out constantly call raise a complaint and tell them router is disconnected from network and request a hub 4 as been told this is what’s needed I get told I have to upgrade to 1 gig for new router

  • John_murphy1
    John Murphy (@John_murphy1) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia I’ve had that email. I’ve also had another email this morning saying they’re sorry to hear I’m unhappy with my broadband speed. I’m not! I’m unhappy with a call out charge being applied, which was promised to be reversed and never has been!

  • VanceBulla
    V-Bull (@VanceBulla) reported from Brampton Bierlow, England

    @virginmedia Faceless customer service. Can’t live chat, can’t chat to anyone on the phone. All they want to do is send you a text or a link to their website. Poor. What am I paying for? Certainly isn’t customer service

  • ReeceBryan94
    Reece Bryan (@ReeceBryan94) reported from Wombwell, England

    @virginmedia how do we get the new wifi extender pods or a new Virgin Hub? Our wifi signal and speed changes dramatically between the front and back of the house, the coverage is dreadful

  • TezzaBelle88
    Terry Hague (@TezzaBelle88) reported from Sheffield, England

    I’m gonna stop having days off because every time I do the WiFi seems to be down #VirginMedia

  • ReeceBryan94
    Reece Bryan (@ReeceBryan94) reported from Wombwell, England

    @virginmedia when are you going to start issuing people the Hub 4 as the SH3 is useless for delivering wifi. Doesn’t help that you seem to be constantly having issues and massive speed problems over the last month. Any chance of us actually getting a service that we pay for?!

  • statto95
    David JS Dawkes-Hall 💙 (@statto95) reported from Hoyland Nether, England

    And the 4th time today everything has gone down. How am I meant to run a medical company control room when my Internet keeps dropping out? @virginmedia are you going to pay the company for loss of income which is being suffered? Or me for that matter.....

  • lettielou05
    lettiebella🦉🇬🇧 (@lettielou05) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia You know, it would be nice if there were some responsibilty taken for the poor customer service rather than some AI generated “ah well sorry about that”. You’re a service provider, and the service is crap.

  • RockerSBM
    Shaun (@RockerSBM) reported

    @virginmedia Hi guys I decided to go back with you guys after 2 yearsafter I was with you for 16 years before that but I've had problems after problems the rep guy sold me that the connection was 2gig down and up to! It's not even sent the contract to the wrong email.

  • SteT238
    Ste (@SteT238) reported

    @virginmedia The first engineer cleared errors off the hub then requested the underground engineer to attend who then replaced the cable underground to the property. Our next door neighbour has also reported the same issue.

  • house_gareth
    Gareth House (@house_gareth) reported

    @virginmedia The brilliant engineer came out and knew what the problem was straight away, the hub hadn't been activated at your end. apparently it has been a common problem the engineers are finding.

  • UTDCamm
    Cam 🇾🇪 (@UTDCamm) reported

    @paulivory1963 @TalkTalk trust me mate leave them, gave us a terrible service for years and was impossible to get hold of someone who actually cared and wanted an issue solved. Cutting us off half the time, switched to Virgin Media this year and was the best choice

  • mrsamrichards1
    Sam Richards (@mrsamrichards1) reported

    @virginmedia you have blocked my VM02 ID I’ve telephoned twice and still waiting for it to be unlocked. I can’t access any of my services mobile, tv or broadband. Can’t pay or view my bills. Your quit to block or disconnect but when customers need help you don’t want to know.

  • JohnHawkes2001
    John Hawkes (@JohnHawkes2001) reported

    @Starlink I switched to Starlink and I absolutely love it. The performance has been incredible compared to the UK ISPs I’ve used. I was with Virgin Media, and Starlink beats it hands down for gaming and streaming. The connection is fast, reliable, and far more consistent than I expected from a satellite service. Another big advantage is that I no longer have to deal with the rip-off pricing and policies of many UK ISPs. And if you’ve ever tried leaving Virgin Media, you’ll know exactly what I mean, it can be an absolute nightmare. With Starlink, the whole experience feels much more straightforward and customer-friendly.

    @virginmedia Absolute lying bast*rd of a company. New customer lied to and led up the garden path. Disgusting customer service and not receiving the service I wanted or am now being ripped off for. Engineer visit confirmed my suspicions. Just wait until Monday!

  • CarryOnGemma
    CarryOnGemma (@CarryOnGemma) reported

    What now? @VirginMedia? I have tried to sign into my account to claim the reimbursement from not having the products you charge from dad. He should be getting a hefty rebate. Yet, you now can't sign me into the account because it's not connected to O2. So I tried that and you've blocked me because I have used the email to sign in too much. The email that is connected to the account. Then the phone number too much. If you don't fix this before I call you in the next twenty-four hours I'll take this to the courts which you have your bots saying people can't. Get me to let me sign in.
