  • Chateauneuf64 Bowlesy (@Chateauneuf64) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia all week had total Broadband outages and down again now (past hour). Received a text from VM with link to follow (self help) and guess what, I need Internet to access! Trying to WFH just impossible. Every hour we have issues.

  • fayeharland faye harland (@fayeharland) reported from Woolhampton, England

    @virginmedia hi there not sure if you can help. We’ve been trying to contact my Uncle for a few days on his landline and it’s going direct to the message service. We’re getting quite worried about him and wondered if it’s possible to see if there’s a fault on the line?

  • K74Marti Marti Jerrard - K74 (@K74Marti) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia I have followed every instruction as advised. Turned off, set, check status and even network issue in area.. it just keeps dropping out daily with no know issues. It’s as if faster broadband has actually slowed it all down! Pse sort it out

  • TheBadgerG Thom Gibbons (@TheBadgerG) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia Yes, zero issues in area for broadband, pulled apart and reset the router numerous times. It just keeps wanting to download new settings, works for a bit and then fails. Engineer now booked for next Wednesday which is an eternity running my business from home.

  • DimiD35089880 DimiD (@DimiD35089880) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia can’t even set up hub properly. 3 weeks since I upgraded my speed and I receive still the same but they keep insisting (we made changes will approve by tomorrow) REALLY!!! Is technical support think we are so stupid. Get a grip @virginmedia next stop complaints

  • DimiD35089880 DimiD (@DimiD35089880) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia Promised date someone to sort external connections come and gone and still same s*****. Can’t believe 4 weeks and nobody can’t fix it. 🤔I think something is fishy @virginmedia get it sorted

  • DimiD35089880 DimiD (@DimiD35089880) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia Upgraded to volt500 from 350 and speed haven’t changed now 3 weeks despite your engineer changed the hub him self still same shame I been loyal customer for the last 13 years

  • fayeharland faye harland (@fayeharland) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia I’m not sure if they do. Happy to do another web chat to cancel.

  • Chateauneuf64 Bowlesy (@Chateauneuf64) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia Broadband down again, 2nd week in a row. Had one day of service and stupidly canx Engineer due next day and hey presto back down we go again. 1 week wait for engineer, 1 day of BB, and now earliest slot for Engineer +1 week. Buyer beware. Typing whilst 50 mins holding with VM!

  • Chateauneuf64 Bowlesy (@Chateauneuf64) reported from Wokingham, England

    Really hard to support brand @virginmedia and recommend them to anyone for Broadband. They may be the only competitor to BT but do you have to compete for last place?

  • mash78203027 mash (@mash78203027) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve not received a reply to my previous tweet,lied to by sales team and don’t feel valued as a new customer. I’m supposed to be joining VMobile but I’m tempted to cancel because the customer service is appalling.

  • HuttonRKR Richard Hutton (@HuttonRKR) reported

    @virginmedia I call the number and it never actually lets me get through to someone with the options I choose! It says to do somthing then cuts me off I have to ring up again and then cuts me off again

  • ScrubKillaRL Kyle (@ScrubKillaRL) reported

    I have no internet all morning and got RLCS later, anyone else having problems with virgin media??

  • Lohoris Lohoris (@Lohoris) reported

    @virginmedia I gave up, and called to cancel all of my services. They were nice and said it was ok, and cancelled them. Then today I received a £70 bill for imaginary "package changes". Sorry, but either you solve this here and now, or I'll just forward this to @Ofcom

  • JaneTarpey Jane Tarpey (@JaneTarpey) reported

    Just had a call from @virginmedia saying my internet keeps having problems which is correct since I got a new hub. Then I was asked to switch a computer on. Alarm bells rung and I refused. They wouldn’t tell me who our account was with either. Tel no used was 01217485483.

  • Gareth19791 Gareth Schofield (@Gareth19791) reported

    @virginmedia Look at Sky's current Black Friday deals, they are available to new and existing customers, that's the way to go, fairness for the customer

  • unplugged89 Matthew Cohen (@unplugged89) reported

    I’ve been on hold with @virginmedia for an hour and a half to ask to send an engineer to fix the awful internet service. Also ignoring messages on the web chat. What’s going on?
