  • pauldurie p2.0 ✊🏻 🏳️‍🌈 #BLM (@pauldurie) reported from London, England

    @OwenJones84 @virginmedia @JeremyVineOn5 Usually a router issue of inefficient switching between bands 2.4GHz and 5GHz Can go into router settings and explicitly set it to 2.4GHz (lower speed/better range) or 5GHz (higher speed/poorer range)

  • nishp Nishchal Patel (@nishp) reported from Harrow Weald, England

    @virginmedia @LutzS it's now two ****** days and I have no Internet and can't get through via any channel. I'm super pissed! 2 Days with no answer! ****** ridiculous service!!!!!

  • Ed_P0d Ed (@Ed_P0d) reported from Luton, England

    @jakepickford @virginmedia I've noticed that recently too (Luton). Put it down to the massive 5g tower the council put in, interfering with my WiFi signal.

  • szdar Shumailla (@szdar) reported from Harrow Weald, England

    @virginmedia absolutely fed up of your broadband. I keep losing connection; this is becoming a daily occurrence and it’s debilitating. Really not happy with this service!

  • PaulDupree19 Paul Dupree (@PaulDupree19) reported from Harrow Weald, England

    @virginmedia I’m struggling paying my monthly fee & now notice it’s gone up this month as my discount offer has run out. Can you please offer me another loyalty discount or I may have to cancel. I also work for the NHS in case you offer staff any discount. Thanks in advance, Paul

  • Alarms_Are_Us Alarms Are Us Ltd. (@Alarms_Are_Us) reported from Bushey Heath, England

    @virginmedia Probably not looking at the full conversation history then. Problem not between cabinet and house. However engineer forgot again to put notes down. Said to contact him and he abs his line manager would ensure resolution, however not returned calls or messages

  • Alarms_Are_Us Alarms Are Us Ltd. (@Alarms_Are_Us) reported from Bushey Heath, England

    @virginmedia @VirginMediaCorp guess we will go another week without being able to resolve! If only you understood the actually impact this has had... #promises #fail #CustomerService

  • Alarms_Are_Us Alarms Are Us Ltd. (@Alarms_Are_Us) reported from Bushey Heath, England

    @aka_Tony_Davies @virginmedia I wish I could say the same! I bet if I get the right person to fix the problem I would be raving too! 22 months on hundreds of pounds immobile data charges while being at home most of the year...

  • peteholbrook Peter Holbrook (@peteholbrook) reported from London, England

  • csteventon61 Clare (@csteventon61) reported

    @virginmedia Yes but due to online learning I need to cancel cancellation

  • Matt_Sparks80 Matt Sparks (@Matt_Sparks80) reported

    @virginmedia No idea, restarted PC and that seemed to fix it.

  • Nice_Georgia_x Georgia x (@Nice_Georgia_x) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks, it has been fixed. Initially it said it wouldn't be fixed till 16:00 hrs which would have meant a day missing from school. It actually came on this morning, before school started. We will rely on a good service from you during COVID. All the best and thanks for replying.

  • DonBaldini Graham Ball (@DonBaldini) reported

    @virginmedia intermittent broadband issues in NE26 3HZ. Tests showed no issues and done reboots but zoom call I'm on is awful and keep getting connection errors.

  • Thecarmagdriver Mauro Calo (@Thecarmagdriver) reported

    @DickieMeaden EE mobile Is terrible in my part of SW london. Can’t use my mobile in my house. And don’t get me started on @virginmedia WHO STILL HAVEN’T GOT BACK TO ME!!!!!!!!

  • DavidAp90220616 Dave Appleby (@DavidAp90220616) reported

    @winnits @virginmedia Report it to OffCom? Why are customers allowed to be treated like this? Insurance, utilities and Internet Service Providers, all have crippling renewal fees until they are challenged (mostly). Why can these companies not be up-front and attempt to justify their increases? 😡

  • Dean_NCFC dean (@Dean_NCFC) reported

    @virginhelp @virginmedia Thought this was for virgin media? Virgin help?

  • winnits Alan Fisher (@winnits) reported

    @virginmedia Would it be possible to arrange a call with the retention team? It seems mad and inefficient to push me toward cancelling and rejoining for the sake of just offering a comparable deal to what I could get as a new customer.

  • KieranJMorris Kieran Morris (@KieranJMorris) reported

    @virginmedia Having serious issues speaking with someone. I've been 'texting' someone for 3 days, and every time I get told they've gone somewhere and I begin again. Also now your phone number is unavailable. Any other ways to speak with you? ............

  • townieheart Lynsey Hinchcliffe (@townieheart) reported

    @virginmedia I've just checked and there are no problems in the area and I've done the test on our connection and it says everything is fine. It is back on now though. We are having trouble daily with it cutting off. It's like it reboots itself every few hours. Our neighbours say the same
