  • 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 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

  • 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

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

    Everyday this week and again today @virginmedia has stopped working… constant resets and in some cases down for 3-4 hrs at a time which is preventing work, training, education & entertainment! Come on #Virgin sort your reliability out pse

  • 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 Hi again. Just letting you know we’ve made contact with him and all seems fine. So please can we cancel the engineer for Friday.

  • 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?

  • RNeacsu Razvan Neacsu (@RNeacsu) reported from Didcot, England

    @Feesuff1 @virginmedia Having same issues on BTSport 3 HD and 4HD.

  • 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?

  • 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!

  • davedec60 Dave Crocker (@davedec60) reported from Reading, England

    So @virginmedia once more we have an outage, how many times now in the last 3 months? NOT GOOD ENOUGH!! Currently looking at switching supplier

  • TimSBourne Tim Bourne (@TimSBourne) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia I'm sick of explaining this again & again - see previous tweets & msgs to VM. It isn't even noted - yesterday 2nd line support looked at my ticket & said I'm "not receiving any emails" NO NO NO! Just emails with etickets attached, even tho get non ticket emails from same sources

  • robmcewan1966 Rob McEwan (@robmcewan1966) reported from Finchampstead, England

    @virginmedia Truly astounding. I have spent hours trying to get virgin to actually carry out promises made and we’re still not there. I’ll swear the customer services reps I speak to are under so much pressure to move on to the next call they make it up as they go.

  • 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.

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

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

  • IslahF__ Islah (@IslahF__) reported

    @virginmedia They have advised nothing 😡🙄 always telling us there’s nothing wrong in our area... but my wifi seems to never be working? Only works in the living room downstairs, everywhere else the connection is poor. We need an engineer visit

  • gmshilly Greg Shillinglaw (@gmshilly) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia no broadband, is there problems in my area please?

  • thetopherharris Christopher Harris 🛸 (@thetopherharris) reported

    Colour me surprised, more problems with @virginmedia This time it’s an outage in the area. Never ending issues.

  • KezMH Kerry Hemus (@KezMH) reported

    @virginmedia Well one was sarcastic when I explained my problem and wasn’t very helpful at all. I was ‘in summary’ advised tough luck...the problems getting in contact are because of the pandemic and that’s it. No help at all.

  • AnoushkaLoves Anoushka (@AnoushkaLoves) reported

    @virginmedia No issues. I've been doing daily for the last week. No issues. Virgin is all fine. There's no issue as far as it goes however my Internet is not connecting on some devices and connecting on others. It's my devices fault. There is something wrong with the hub.

  • Lizzimooneydoc Lizzi Helsby💙 (@Lizzimooneydoc) reported

    @virginmedia Wireless, 5G doesn’t connect most of the time, the 2G does but is also intermittent. We are not home workers, the internet is mainly used in the evenings but the problem can and does occur through the day also

  • Lmac1985 laura mac (@Lmac1985) reported

    @virginmedia no signal showing on our TV. There was a network issue. Showing resolved. Still no TV. Restarted and followed instructions and still saying no signal and restarting constantly?

  • AnoushkaLoves Anoushka (@AnoushkaLoves) reported

    @virginmedia hi can you please contact me about my service.

  • thetopherharris Christopher Harris 🛸 (@thetopherharris) reported

    @virginmedia Yes. I know the issue is an outage in the area but my point still stands. We don’t receive the service what we pay for and we pay a huge amount of money monthly to you.

  • thetopherharris Christopher Harris 🛸 (@thetopherharris) reported

    @virginmedia Still not my point. We pay huge amounts of money monthly to you and never receive what we pay for. It’s nothing but issue after issue. An official complaint was logged in Feb, which has been closed without satisfactory compensation for continually poor service.
