  • TMcGRed TMcGRed (@TMcGRed) reported from Widnes, England

    @virginmedia broadband is really slow. Paying for 200mb D/L and getting just over 40mb at the mo! This has been happening intermittently over the last week or so...

  • 2013jamiepep James Pepperd (@2013jamiepep) reported from St Helens, England

    £1260 per year for a 3rd rate service #VirginMedia

  • TLClassless Ben 🌶️ (@TLClassless) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @Jack1295 @DanCrea_ @virginmedia Yeah pretty much what Jack said, other intro prices for a lesser package also weren't as good, v sad. Yeah I've been thinking about doing an overhaul of my whole network, this might be the time to take the dive 😂

  • colinlit colin littlejohns (@colinlit) reported from Liverpool, England

  • topbalcony Tom Kelly (@topbalcony) reported from Seaforth, England

    @virginmedia I have been unable to access my Blueyonder e mail for 2 weeks now. I have tried the recommended fixes to no Avila and am told I might wait for an hour to have someone answer my call. £80 a month for a broken service is a bit on the steep side

  • mrsyozzer1 Sara Hughes❤🦁 (@mrsyozzer1) reported from Birkenhead, England

    Yes annoyingly intermittent service, any idea when it'll be sorted @virginmedia

  • imsophieeee soph (@imsophieeee) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia says there’s no known issues in my area, yet my internet has been down for the past 20 minutes :(

  • zozzaballs Zoey (@zozzaballs) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @SophieMEdwards @virginmedia Ours was the same, someone came out and fitted a booster few weeks ago but even that sometimes goes off. But this week it’s been awful

  • ste19410949 ste donnelly (@ste19410949) reported from Widnes, England

    @virginmedia got to be worst internet service going time to get rid I think 💩💩💩

  • mrwilkinson1979 Alan Wilkinson (@mrwilkinson1979) reported from Widnes, England

    @virginmedia yet again I’m let down... WiFi gone while watching a film! But hey, you can’t be arsed answering customers issues!

  • mrwilkinson1979 Alan Wilkinson (@mrwilkinson1979) reported from Widnes, England

    @virginmedia still waiting for contact or a method I can use to contact. Disgusting service! Happy to take my money

  • robbuc10 Robert Buckley (@robbuc10) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia Sort out you’re broadband issues as this has been going on now for over 2 weeks !!!!!!!

  • KathyyyLouiseee Kathy Louise (@KathyyyLouiseee) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I need to speak to someone urgently about Virgin showing a missed payment on my credit history back in August 2018, when I cancelled my internet back in June 2018 (which was made incredibly difficult by poor customer service at the time)

  • CharlieIDIC IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    Whatever you do think twice before joining @virginmedia it might look fast on paper but the 100mbs service is running slow in Kirkby when it runs at all. Customer service just blames Covid @VodafoneUK gave me prices really quickly by a lovely lady working from home

  • CharlieIDIC IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia all about the money not about the service. In Kirkby Merseyside we have had a lot of outages since March and you are ignoring my requests for help by email, chat, FB, Twitter and don’t answer the phones. @VodafoneUK uk answered my web chat straight away

  • ste19410949 ste donnelly (@ste19410949) reported from Widnes, England

    @virginmedia got to be worst service around all down again time to cancel I think

  • CharlieIDIC IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia Please give me the contact address I guess I will compile the complaint in full and send it to whom ever overseas Virgin’s false advertising, breach of contract and not fit for purpose service I cannot see that Virgin give a toss about their customers or trying to sort internet

  • 2013jamiepep James Pepperd (@2013jamiepep) reported from St Helens, England

    I don't have an ariel or freeview I rely on your piece of shit @virginmedia #VirginMedia

  • itsphilsaunders Phil Saunders (@itsphilsaunders) reported

    @virginmedia New hub activated. Signal strength is still really poor. How can I get better WiFi? I’ll pay for a better hub, I’ll buy boosters. I’ve never had a problem until last couple months. What can I do to get WiFi performing well again

  • yvan165 Yvan Valasse (@yvan165) reported

    @virginmedia Hi Team, the issue is now indicated resolved. However I now have very low speed (under 1Mb) and it drops every 30mins. I have tried restarting, resetting, nothing works. Can you pls advise?

  • BellaBergin Bergin (@BellaBergin) reported

    @virginmedia hi I got an error 2020 on my tv, my internet went as well. The wife box has a flashing green light. I have checked online to see if there’s an issue in my area and there isn’t. I was sitting down and it just went so wasn’t messing with wires.

  • graceepattinson Grace Pattinson (@graceepattinson) reported

    @virginmedia Don't think we can do a direct wired connection. 150 says sorry that there are still intermittent problems.

  • sevonnahh S E V O N N A - (@sevonnahh) reported

  • Rubystone911 Mark Piper (@Rubystone911) reported

    @DORIGHT1011 @virginmedia Piss poor service from @virginmedia who clearly don't care about their reputation. I'll certainly not be ever engaging with them.

  • abraxas__ Jade (@abraxas__) reported

    @virginmedia No service faults. I’m a 2nd line broadband and Voip engineer. All local tests have been done. The superhub 3 drops CONSTANTLY. Ethernet speed fluctuates from 3mbps to 90mbps. More often on the lower scale. It also switches itself off when it feels like it...part 1
