    @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!

  • rwgladwin Richard Gladwin (@rwgladwin) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia were there issues in S9 around 1020 this morning?

  • TheG0000ner Gooner (@TheG0000ner) reported from Chesterfield, England

    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!!!

    @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?

  • olibrown77 Oli B (@olibrown77) reported from Sheffield, England

    @pauldevine1986 @virginmedia We are still down in S7. Nearly 24 hours now. Saying 2pm is the updated fix time. But that keeps getting pushed back 🙄😡

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

    @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.

  • victimsvoice73 Victims Voice (@victimsvoice73) reported from Sheffield, England

    Anyone recommend a phone network been with @O2 for years and since it merged with @virginmedia it’s shocking. When I went on holiday before I’d never had problems this year wouldn’t let me go my own internet & here signal keeps going for phoning not to mention rise in scam calls

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

    @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.

  • wilcock_steve 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿steve wilcock 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@wilcock_steve) reported from Barnsley, England

  • goonie2008 Andrew Lee (@goonie2008) reported from Sheffield, England

    @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.

  • MSambrook matt sambrook (@MSambrook) reported

    @virginmedia Constant issues. Can’t stream, play online. Phoned someone today who can get us an appointment for an engineer in 2 weeks. My wife works from home so will be impacted! Can’t speak to a manager or engineer department today due to being Sunday

  • ArianeSherine Ariane Sherine (@ArianeSherine) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks. Moving home. I had to leave at short notice and was of no fixed address so I couldn't move the service. Now in my new house and currently finding it difficult to WFH as my Mifi router and 4G are terrible so desperate to get my existing Virgin package up and running ASAP!
