@virginmedia how do I order a new hub please? My current one loses network access and needs rebooting every hour or so. Not ideal when working from home. There are no known service issues so I’m thinking it’s a hub issue.

@virginmedia Yeah that’s fine, or just a phone number / person to deal with? It’s my parents business and they have their property engineers coming out to view the issue on Monday. I assume they will be in touch themselves regarding the issues. Luckily it’s just rain water, and not sewage.

@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.

@virginmedia I spoke to an advisor called Gillian from Sheffield and she escalated my numerous complaints on Saturday. Promised a manager call crack but I got nothing . It’s getting to the stage that the best course of action would be to cancel the lot but that won’t get my landline back

@virginmedia No problem, and thank you for sorting it out quickly. May be worth making sure telephone staff tell customers about call out charges as I had no idea they applied in this situation.

@virginmedia after five years of custom you would rather me terminate my contract that provide me with the new router that you promised me as part of my new deal! Diabolical service!

@virginmedia I have tried that text service for the last two days. ‘Terri BOT’ is no use. I need to speak to a real person . All that needs doing is the issue of a new bill without the £35 activation fee. This is becoming the worst decision I’ve ever made in relation to switching broadband

@virginmedia @O2 Its definitely you lot Robin as your broadband service was a disgrace when I moved to you and I had to pay out for cancelling contract early. If this is what’s to come O2 then you will a customer of over 15 years.

@virginmedia got a flashing Internet light on router that won't go away so my WiFi (and therefore TV/ streaming etc) not working. Tried rebooting, resetting, the works. Online help / faq no help. Are there any issues?

Is there something wrong with @virginmedia at the moment. Got a very very crap speed of less than 1mbs #virginmedia #virginmobile in the S40 area. Can't log into my account either? 🤬 This is happening far too often for £69 a month!!!

Yo @virginmedia how can I tell you I’m leaving because of your terrible internet without phoning your terrible help centre? Or should I just stop paying you £56 a month and be done with it?

@virginmedia Timescales? Any clue how you tell who on there actually works for VM? Someone in same area as me posted same problem 24hrs ago no official response. Helpful unpaid amateurs having a go is not proper support.

@virginmedia Thanks, this time I was able to get through. The issue has been resolved. FYI - I had renamed my network on your Hub Admin screen, but it had only changed the slower 2.4hz network name, and had renamed the faster 5hz to "1". Not sure why it doesnt rename both networks? A glitch.

@virginmedia we were told that our self installation box was being sent today, cancelled our previous package so they didn't overlap. You text ON THE DAY to say there's an issue with suppliers. Can you not reactivate the previous boxes? Over an hour to speak to someone is a joke.

@virginmedia I have tried ringing up and had no joy getting through to anyone. I have also posted on the community forum page and had no response or solution, it’s getting very frustrating as you can imagine
