TheAspiLawStudent (@LawAspi) reported from Chorley, England@virginmedia I have your smart hub 3, or as I like to call it the dumb dumb 3000. (It's struggles to broadcast a decent connection around a 2 bed flat, so it's been banished to modem mode. (Honestly, it's the worst router ive ever dealt with) 😳

Ali Gudgeon ✍🏻️ (@Libra_Comms) reported from Preston, England@virginmedia just wasted two hours on web chat trying to get a better sim deal as advertised. 45 mins to get through security. Tried to check/sign in on the Virgin mobile app and it doesn’t work for me or my husband, despite having an account for years. An absolute joke! 👎🏻

David Walton (@Davegas2) reported from Feniscowles, England@virginmedia When are you going to sort out problem with red button on Sky sports, sometimes on, most times off, ongoing problem.
-
TheAspiLawStudent (@LawAspi) reported from Chorley, England@virginmedia LS, I have and do regularly when ever it seems slow. It varies from 12mbps download to a maximum of 110mbps. However the monthly average is under 60mbps. Which falls well short of my guaranteed speed.
-
SJK (@SammyKnowlesX) reported from Banks, England@virginmedia I’ve spoken with someone in the new development team who’s advised they’ve escalated all my complaints and someone should be ringing me directly to take through and fix everything. However no response
-
Lewis Horsfield (@lewishorsey92) reported from Warton, England@virginmedia 3rd time this week internet has gone down. Possibly the worst provider in the country
-
✨Shimmi✨ Comms open! (@ShimmiArt) reported from Preston, England@virginmedia internet yesterday went from 12mbs (11am) to 30mbs (3pm). Today it’s 3mbs. How is this acceptable? No reported issues but our internet goes up and down constantly, sometimes goes off altogether
-
Richard Foster (@fos100) reported from New Longton, EnglandWho in their right mind schedules planned maintenance for a Monday morning and says it could go on until three pm? Oh yeah, @virginmedia - cracking service as always #workfromhome #muppets
-
Wightpie (@wightpie) reported from Blackburn, England@virginmedia Also given that link is for postal marketing how exactly does that help with phone calls? As it stands your systems are non-compliant
-
Howard Croston 🏁🇬🇧🇬🇬 (@Hnc365) reported from Preston, England@EppsRacer @virginmedia Gave up with @virginmedia many moons ago with the internet constantly being down which was laughable as I'd been talked into an upgrade that would cure the issue. Gave up with the call centre and sent a letter basically saying stuff! your contract

Dave R (@SmartCoffeeOff1) reported from Blackburn, EnglandWhat do a pay for, I'm trying to watch football on now TV and losing Internet all the time, pay for a top package and **** service, @Virgin #internet #virginmedia #broadband

sevs66 (@mgsevs) reported from Kirkham, England@virginmedia This help page just walks me through what I've already done, it doesn't show me how to reset the pod
-

-
Marie Hardman (@MarieHardman13) reported from Clayton-le-Woods, England@virginmedia is is anyone else having problems contacting Virgin media? The telephone 150 is engaged all the time and I can't get through to anyone online.
-
Wightpie (@wightpie) reported from Blackburn, England@virginmedia So why then a) does it specify postal and b) not provide a field for mobile number. At best it’s misleading and at worst incompetent
-
David Gardner (@LeylandDavid) reported from Leyland, England@virginmedia My landline phone has been down all afternoon in PR25 1UJ. Have any others complained about this issue, and if you're aware of the issue, do you have an estimated time for repair. Thanks in advance.

BEN GOODHIND (@BenGoodhind) reported@virginmedia No virgin services in Thornbury today with phone, tv and broadband all down. 2nd time this week and been down for almost 12 hours. Please explain the issue in bs35
-
Our Electric World (@O_E_W) reported@TheEvEngineer @gigaclear @MartinSLewis I used to get the same with Virgin Media when it was our only option. Simple solution is to swap and change to the cheaper deals. I got an Orbi mesh router a while back. It should help simplify our next swap as it keeps the same network name whatever company we’re with.
-
Martin Whelan (@mairtinofaolain) reported@PaulOBrienKil @VirginMediaNews @VirginMediaIE Currently swapping to Digiweb for broadband. Customer service seems to be their thing. A sales rep from Eir annoyed me with his pushiness, and Virgin Media ain't that great a price anymore
-
Karen Barker 🐈 🔭🐝🌹🍅 (@Kiai_Kas) reportedWhy are the match streams not working for tonight's matches @SkyFootball @virginmedia People pay a lot of money for this so-called service. It's not good enough

-
Steve Kelly (@kellyokid) reported@MelJanie @virginmedia I was with Virgin for years but got treated like a piece of crap on their shoe with multiple issues so I’ve left! Customer service is non existent! They just don’t care!
-
Jenny Do Nascimento (@jdonascimento) reported@virginmedia I moved house on August 28th and Virgin has been unable to connect my internet service. It's terrible service; I've wasted hours talking to them with no results. #Sutton #England #SOS
-
Edward Clements (@eddie10oo) reported@daviesa02 @virginmedia Avoid Virgin at all costs, their customer service is horrific.
-
Russell Frew (@rhfrew) reported@virginmedia The landing page is a pain in the backside. The user should be able to disable it if they want. Please issue a fix!
-
Connor gower (@Connorgower3) reportedI have had issues with my broadband for the last 48 hours so far where it keeps being intermittent it's not the first time it's happened and pushing me closer to leaving @virginmedia
