  • AndyMcK1982 Andy McKeown (@AndyMcK1982) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia The technician came on Wednesday & did a wired connection test. We are only getting 180meg which is terrible considering we are paying for 300meg! My children can’t get a signal at all whereas they were fine before! Two visits and still not resolved!

  • peter0raw Peter Rawcliffe (@peter0raw) reported from Seaforth, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I’ve been on the phone for nearly an hour for the 3rd time this weekend. Can someone get in touch ASAP as my TiVo box has stopped working. I’ve tried all online support and cannot get through to anyone. Very frustrating!!!

  • NealJFletcher Neal Fletcher (@NealJFletcher) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia No, the picture still looks like I’m watching TV on a cheese grater. Looking at a few threads on your forum this isn’t a new issue either, customers have been experiencing this for well over a year. How’s about I stop paying for the TV part of the package until it’s sorted??

  • JoeHolmes1994 Joe (@JoeHolmes1994) reported from Leigh, England

    @virginmedia I need to cancel a engineer appointment for Wednesday. I’ve already been on the phone 40 minutes and I’m not waiting any longer especially after being told ‘we’ll prioritise you’. Please cancel it otherwise it’s a pointless trip for your engineer

  • HelenLMoran HLM (@HelenLMoran) reported from Garston, England

    @virginmedia I need to cancel an engineer appointment. I can’t do it online and I don’t have a password to get through on the phone

  • emmawinstanley1 emma2511 (@emmawinstanley1) reported from Aspull, England

    @virginmedia finding it very difficult to get through to someone to discuss technical support please help

  • josie_allan Jo Mclaughlin (@josie_allan) reported from Horwich, England

    I’m not sure how we could overcome WIFI access but surely there is a way that friendly bods @SkyUK @virginmedia could support to stop children missing out on remote teaching - digital poverty sucks

  • PammyVegas21 Pamela Lavell (@PammyVegas21) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia I was going to go to a better provider but was assured that the price was guaranteed until May 2021. You have broken the terms of the contract AGAIN. How many mature citizens who aren’t as computer savvy get ripped off by you? How is this being allowed to happen? Shame on you

  • AndyMcK1982 Andy McKeown (@AndyMcK1982) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia You are not listening. I understand it fluctuates. What I mean is why have I had an acceptable 300meg signal for 11 months & now it’s dropped to below half that? 4 phone calls & two technician visits can’t sort it???? I want what I had!

  • Shinpad11 Mackie 🇪🇺🌹☘️🇸🇱 (@Shinpad11) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia yet another day blighted with intermittent connection. What on earth is happening with your broadband service? Woeful. #Wigan

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia It just says it looks like I can’t get on the internet and it recommends an engineer to come out. On the FOURTH OF JANUARY. During a pandemic when I’m working from home. I left @virginmedia because your service kept dropping, some things never change.

  • Juliefundraiser Julie Lawson (@Juliefundraiser) reported from Seaforth, England

    Well done @virginmedia customer service at its worse. Rang to get help to open ports to get RING bell/video working argumentative staff parting shot pay us £20 and £5 per month we’ll sort your problem. You are a joke

  • Scraggmeister Mark Spencer-Scragg (@Scraggmeister) reported from Seaforth, England

    @virginmedia Ok. Thanks for this suggestion. I have posted something on the ‘Community Forum’, but you’re my service provider. Why can’t you sort out my Broadband speed issue? I’m paying for something I’m not receiving. #baffled #gettingannoyednow

  • Kayls3457 Kayleigh Speakman (@Kayls3457) reported from Abram, England

    @virginmedia TV/Broadband issues again! WN2

  • 2003mirror Lord David Hurn (@2003mirror) reported from Seaforth, England

    @virginmedia Ggod Afternoon I have been unable to contact you, having problems with the TiVo box all other equipment is working, the screen is pixelating not getters picture properly, done everything how can I get in touch using on line chat ?

  • HelenLMoran HLM (@HelenLMoran) reported from Garston, England

    I hate to call a company out online but @virginmedia are awful

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    Sigh. Yet another @virginmedia broadband issue where it’s gone down. Again. Feels like this is a monthly thing now.

  • mallen_87 Matt Allen 🔶 (@mallen_87) reported from Horwich, England

    @virginmedia I would like to cancel my services with you. When I go online to do this I’m directed to call in. When I call in the IVR directs me online. Can you help?

  • Scraggmeister Mark Spencer-Scragg (@Scraggmeister) reported from Seaforth, England

    @virginmedia Morning. If you’re still here for me, Broadband speed still only (max) 120mbs. Still paying for 350mbs & I’ve factory reset my hub twice. Can you help please? Thanks.

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia I had a problem a few weeks back and couldn’t get through to you because of the queues, I expect it’s the same now. I should learn my lesson and move to another provider I think.

  • szizr Scottie (@szizr) reported

    Phone connects to your 5g network but nothing loads @virginmedia. How are you meant to fix it when I can’t even call in to report it. You’re too busy focusing on broadband faults

  • dowers899 Jules 2100 (@dowers899) reported

    @virginmedia Service is rubbish in Northampton. How can you increase the bill so much when it doesn't work. I pay top notch for terrible service

  • phorsfield phorsfield (@phorsfield) reported
