@virginmedia Nope. There’s “nothing wrong” with the broadband according to the status page. Never is. It’s always the hub supposedly downloading updates. 10 weeks of this now, getting a bit bored of the lack of service TBH. This needs to be escalated.

@virginmedia Thanks. Done that. Multiple times. And over the last 6 months. And when I was an ntl: customer. And CableTel before that. 27 years of 56k > 350Mb and now it’s totally doing my head in. Unable to work from home properly. Boss won’t be happy!

@virginmedia It's always the same response. No service impacting issues reported. However, the service is pretty bad. Wondering if @virginmedia network is capable of handling traffic or deliberately doing throttling. @Ofcom

@virginmedia We just purchased a film from the media store and it won’t play - just is stuck at 0 minutes 😡 we’ve restarted our box but always have problems like this with catch up especially… not ideal when we’ve paid money to rent a film! Can you help at all?

@virginmedia my broadband is running at 10mbps (supposed to be 200). The app has done a "scan" and it says there is a network error and check back in 24 hours. Problem is, it's still slow three days later and there appears to be no more help on offer. Now what?

@virginmedia Thanks. Engineer showed up, plugged in a new Hub 3, “fixed” my BB & WiFi and, 3 hours later, it’s still not working. Can I 1) file a complaint and 2) get a guarantee that this will be fixed for once and for all.

Another day of bad experience with @virginmedia broadband service in RG6 area. Buffering on streaming service, no video calls possible on Skype and WhatsApp. Seriously thinking of switching to @bt_uk

‘ere, @VirginMedia, it’s been a full month now of totally unreliable service at my house; 5 engineers later, with the last call to 0345 454 111 on Friday saying you KNOW there’s a problem and it WILL be fixed in 24 hours. I called bullshit. I was right. Sort this out!!!

@Firesnapper999 @virginmedia It’s really frustrating; the third technician was brilliant, replaced everything almost like a new install and it worked great for just over a week. Now the status site says everything is good whilst a call to support says it isn’t. #Grrr

@virginmedia The fact you have even done it without telling anyone is a shocking customer service move,especially in this day and age where a lot of people are working from home. Absolutely disgusting service I don't care how long it will take, I need to know of you plan to take it down so

Phil “Devilsbane73” Irvine
(@philuk73) reported
@virginmedia The speed is good, but the hardware in the routers has always been bad, reboots at random times, WiFi very unstable with more than 4 devices connected, as most homes do might I add. This is nothing new. This is from installations at 6 different homes and all the router versions.

Penelope Pitstop
(@Pen_stop) reported
@virginmedia No this is customers who call Virgin with an issue with their broadband and told that someone will call back. The person who calls back asks for control of their computer or asks for bank details. Is someone in your Company leaking information?
-
marksuttonbike
(@marksuttonbike) reported
@virginmedia yes. More tests run, "boosted" and told average speed will remain, same problem as soon as off the phone. Please do not tell me to call you again.

@virginmedia just signed up and had my broadband setup. Do you have help page where I can speak to someone. Getting amazing speeds when stood next to router but terrible throughout house. My last broadband was better than this and that was terrible

@l1vparkinson @virginmedia @YodelOnline Yodel have been complicit in a lot of thefts. They always deny it, but at least 6 of my parcels either disappeared or the parcels were ‘lifted’ by Yodel personnel. Fortunately for me it was never delivered, but unfortunately for the the sellers, they are out of pocket.

@virginmedia Could you be so kind and let me know if the engineer is still coming, I tried logging into my virgin media account but it states my account was shut down or deactivated? Was hoping he would be here early as I ran out of data on my phone last night. FIO: @Ofcom

@virginmedia Hi...it ended at 0.88Mbps, wireless connection. I've tried to order the pods off your website but they're never in stock. As mentioned, this happens every day
