-
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
-
A Rintsie (@arintsie) reported from Marlow Bottom, England@virginmedia You keep cutting me off when I call ! / just email the complaint number to a member of your UK team and ask them to call me, really not that hard
-
iszi (@iszi_lawrence) reported from Reading, England@virginmedia internet is down in RG30 (router is white but no internet). Checked on mobile I’m not the only one experiencing problems in the area.
-
Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England‘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!!!
-
Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England@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.
-
derrick mulvana (@nenevall) reported from Reading, England@virginmedia @OfficialRandL reading festival, the virgin media mobile network is on its knees with no internet connection across most of the site.. 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
-
Daniel Evans (@ChavdogEvans) reported from Farnborough, England@virginmedia my wifi seem to keep dropping out is there issues with it at the moment
-
Khurram Qayam (@kqbrain) reported from Reading, EnglandWe have issue with #HGVdrivers but why @virginmedia broadband had issues for the last few days in RG6 area. Pretty bad service. @Ofcom
-
Phil Stacey (@PhilStace20) reported from Maidenhead, England@denman79 @virginmedia The irony is that @virginmedia are more like the Pistols -‘No point in asking you’ll get no reply’ and they seem ‘Pretty Vacant’ but ‘Never mind all that…..’ can someone please take some responsibility and ownership that seems to be sadly lacking atm
-
Craig (@Rochdale_Cowboy) reported from Maidenhead, England@virginmedia @elise_john85 So you're whacking up Elsie's cost because you have more customers (who are presumably also paying you) using the service, and you want to use Elsie extra £4.50 / month so you can invest in services that attract even more customers?!? Get in the bin!
-
Paul Collier (@Pablocollier) reported from Wokingham, England@virginmedia Patchy. And the weekends enquiry regarding possibly upgrading... Non existent service.
-
Khurram Qayam (@kqbrain) reported from Reading, EnglandAnother 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
-
GoldyMcGoldface (@Goldy73) reported from Farnborough, England@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
-
Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England@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.

Cameron🏴 (@CRJG_) reported from Bracknell, EnglandHuge congrats to @virginmedia for having a web chat service that is so bad that I joined the chat to upgrade my broadband, but after waiting for an eternity for replies I’m pretty much ready to just close my account
-
Dan O'Sullivan (@dano_afc) reported from Frimley, England@virginmedia what is going on with your customer service today????? Completely unreachable either on phone, online chat or your abysmal whatsapp service!!! Talk to your customers!!!!!!!
-
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?
