Razvan Neacsu (@RNeacsu) reported from Didcot, England@virginmedia Internet keeps disconnecting. Called, useless as always. Intermittent issues or connectivity issues. Just send an engineer to check, why wait for another 24h when this is an ongoing issue. I've even reset the hub, still same issues.

Khurram Qayam (@kqbrain) reported from Reading, England@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

Callum Penny (@callum_penny) reported from Fleet, England@virginmedia no WiFi for the past 4 hours now… have ran tests to solve issues. Says service is fine in area again now but still nothing? Gu52 area code

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.
-
DimiD (@DimiD35089880) reported from Camberley, England@virginmedia We have engineer booked for today to see what is the issue as since I upgraded never had such a bad service experience for the last 12 years with @virginmedia
-
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
-
Mike Biscoe (@MikeBiscoe1) reported from Reading, England@virginmedia *sigh*. Been directed to this many times. Had engineers referred many times. This is a persistent issue that raises its ugly head far too frequently

Bowlesy (@Chateauneuf64) reported from Wokingham, EnglandReally 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?

James Agg (@Jimmyboy35) reported@virginmedia I have now been on hold for my broadband and TV issues for over 2hours in total
-
Kevin Burke (@kevin0403) reported@virginmedia can you tell me what your issue is? Over a week to try and speak to someone and no further forward, currently been in a queue for over 3hrs?
-
Sam Greenland (@SprocketEtQuill) reported@virginmedia Another Virgin Media engineer came out again to bury the cable from house to street. The cable is now in trunking over ground and the internet service was severed. You have said it will take yet another on-site engineer to fix the connection and left me without a connection for the week - until an engineer is available. You have, however, paid £100 towards the cost of the alternative internet provider. Your logic was £30 for data (on a #GiffGaff SIM card which I chose) and £70 for a dongle. I bought a £120 4G modem for external use that connects directly to my #Unifi switch on WAN2, bypassing your hub altogether and giving a connection back to my whole house rather than just one computer with a USB port. Given it's taken since November to bury this cable, I'm not convinced tomorrow's engineer will be able to fix the connection or bury the cable. We will see how the day unfolds. Your contact centre staff all aim to be very helpful, and your service (when it's working) does provide a decent connection most of the time, but your implementation is lacking.

Lorna Willins (@LornieWillins) reported@virginmedia A very helpful guy in the 02 shop helped me out. If you can please pass on you need staff covering phones, I have spent hours & hours yesterday & today, I should not have to leave my home to get the answer in minutes. The service is disgusting

Moderately Sarcastic (@ForkYeah07) reportedAn absolute nightmare getting onboard with Virgin Media broadband. They changed my appointment on the last day. Who the hell is going to pay me for the inconvenience this will have? This is absolutely ridiculous. Is this the service you guys provide?? @virginmedia
-
