    @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

    Sam Watts (@SamWatt30745054) reported from Barnsley, England

    @virginmedia you are aware that a lot of older, more vulnerable people have had alarm and safety devices installed that depend on a safe, fast, reliable service. The one that they, like, you know pay a lot of money for

    @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

    @virginmedia @virginmedia @O2 if you're going to sell merged packages to your customers then you really need to improve your joint customer service.. just batting me back to the other without an answer is simply unacceptable

  • mandybaps1
    Amanda Brightmore (@mandybaps1) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Useless you haven't addressed my points. I will go directly to the managing director Lutz Schueler. Really disappointed and I woukd have expected better considering I have been a loyal customer.

  • mandybaps1
    Amanda Brightmore (@mandybaps1) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia I've emailed MD and they called me within the hour and sorted my issue out within 10 minutes. You should be ashamed of yourselves

  • HarlamTK
    Tom “Harlam” King (@HarlamTK) reported from Wombwell, England

    @virginmedia I’m trying to resolve an issue with your collections team regarding an incorrect default and because I no longer bank with the same account and do not have those details, they won’t talk to me, yet they are happy to just take money off me without telling me why. It’s disgusting

  • 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!

  • Ray_Lennox
    Tom Clark (@Ray_Lennox) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia what is going on with WiFi in Sheffield. It’s been awful for weeks

  • RomegouxLouis
    Louis Romégoux (@RomegouxLouis) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia please sort the Sky Red button issue which is preventing Sheffield United fans subscribed to Virgin from experiencing the service they've paid for.

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

    Here we go its worked for a week virginmedia internet down rebooted worked for 2 mins down again ill check my status later usually goes off then comes back on and works again S65 area

  • AnnielizzieSten
    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 without a doubt one of the worst companies to deal with, put your bills up to say services need improving and they get worse

    @virginmedia @virginmedia can you please update me on the service in m30 - it’s been 48 hours no wifi, heating or television.

  • keithapearson
    Keith A Pearson (@keithapearson) reported

    @virginmedia I've just wasted 55 minutes of my life trying to talk to your 'customer services' dept. Both the staff members I spoke to could barely communicate in English, and the line kept breaking up... until it died altogether. Wasted time, no resolution, and huge frustration. You're supposed to be a COMMUNICATIONS company! What am I expected to do now? Go through that same shambolic exercise again?

  • danielgoble
    Daniel Goble (@danielgoble) reported

    @mobily_uk @virginmedia The whole point is to just get you locked into another deal. You threaten to switch and then they lower it and hope you fall for it...all while they try to upsell **** TV packages that nobody wants.

    DonegalDúnedain 🇮🇪 (@DonegalDunedain) reported

    @moefitzpatrick I was expecting less support tbh, but the anomaly that is FFG 90 year old voters whose only source of info is Virgin Media and RTÉ will always upset perceived public opinion.

  • Merse2506

    @virginmedia can someone please help me. I have l8ved with buffering, channel failed fir mintjs to no avail of a response for VM.

    @Alotron I'm never watching Bohs on Virgin Media again. I only expect that much bias when the commentate on Ireland matches.

  • Merse2506
    John Mercer (@Merse2506) reported

    @virginmedia Hi I have been a VM customer for many years and have complained about my box s8nce you switched to a WiFi version. I get "buffering" and channel failed messages constantly. This happens and a low bandwidth message appears with tbe graphic even when the channel is still working.

  • PHILROOKS
    just me (@PHILROOKS) reported

    @virginmedia With respect I have done this, and you just come back saying you can't access my account or help as you're just the MEDIA TEAM. I'm sure you're here to just monitor the poor comments and look like you care, when you don't. Your CEO should be embarrassed and take responsibility

  • Miss_JRO85
    Jenny Roberts (@Miss_JRO85) reported

    @virginmedia no WiFi since 7am yesterday. Engineer appointment cancelled without me being told. I’ve now been told wait 48 more hours to see if the problem fixes itself. 4 hours on the phone to customer service and just been hung up on. Awful customer service.
