  • MikeYau8 Mike Yau (@MikeYau8) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia So I expected a call today before 12pm from business team I also logged a call back on the website for one of the team to call me before 12pm. Engineer on Friday said someone would call in the morning it’s now just gone after 12 and I am still waiting? This is poor?!

  • PhilNicholson13 Phil Nicholson (@PhilNicholson13) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia No. A problem with order of some description.

  • shenry1972 me (@shenry1972) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Dear @virginmedia, why is your WiFi so bloody awful? Another day of resetting, rebooting etc etc and it's still **** 😩

  • NikoSarcevic Niko (@NikoSarcevic) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia I see. It is very unfortunate as I cannot do my work when I’m not online and I also spend more on mobile internet because the service I pay for regularly is simply not there.

  • MikeYau8 Mike Yau (@MikeYau8) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia So now moved to @vmbusinesshelp line instead of residential activated yesterday and new router installed with no problems. Tonight 7.19pm internet goes down? 7.45m internet goes down? I am paying significantly more and receiving the same poor line?!?!?

  • Mal_Area Malcolm Sinyard (@Mal_Area) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Well it said no issues, but all my devices will not connect, rebooted router. Nothing..

  • spleenal Nigel Auchterlounie (@spleenal) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Hi @virginmedia i just had a call He said was from your technical department (We have been having quite a poor service from you over the last few months) He said he had to optimise the router & asked me to go to a site starting w3c Hung up because not a virginsite Was it you?

  • PhilNicholson13 Phil Nicholson (@PhilNicholson13) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @vmbusiness @virginmedia I called and the service I received was unbelievably poor. My first experience as a Virgin customer. Considering cancellation now.

  • NikoSarcevic Niko (@NikoSarcevic) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Service page doesn’t indicate anything. I’ve checked all the devices (I only use the wifi no lan cables) and nothing is connected.

  • lbschmee Liam Bowering (@lbschmee) reported from Gateshead, England

    Hi @virginmedia, I have recently signed up for your WiFi package. However the Webpage when I try to register for a My Virgin Media account appears to be broken. Is there any other way to register for an account online? Thank you

  • PhilNicholson13 Phil Nicholson (@PhilNicholson13) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I will call, again and again. Would be nice if you called me tbh. I’ll escalate or just cancel and go to another provider

  • SandyMcWatson Sandy 🏳️‍🌈🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🇪🇺🌍☮️ (@SandyMcWatson) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia Yes. There is a known issue in my area but no "explanation". It's states the fix estimate is 3pm. That's almost a whole day's salary.

  • BiddickCraig Craig Biddick (@BiddickCraig) reported

    @O2 @virginmedia More excited if you sorted out our Broadband issue and we could have the internet at home for work and education. Trying to fix it - hours of calls, being cut off, dealing with BOTS, asking for same information again, still waiting for a dongle. AVOID

  • tim_pulham Tim Pulham (@tim_pulham) reported

    @virginmedia So surely you can arrange that for me without the need for me to ring back……that would be good customer service??

  • Dougparkwwod1 Doug@parkwwod (@Dougparkwwod1) reported

    @virginmedia I don’t expect a response but I can honestly say subscribing the VM is possible the worst decision of my life#awfulnotfitforpurposenoservicecantaddupwobtatrendhome

  • Tronn206 Jeff Martin (@Tronn206) reported

    @virginmedia From what I've heard from your support forum it's just a case of having no stock of Hub 5s. But they're still being advertised as part of your broadband packages. I have registered a complaint on the website but not heard anything.

  • BiddickCraig Craig Biddick (@BiddickCraig) reported

    @virginmedia @asmardell27 The only comedy show is your inability to service customers. Warning - don't let Virgin media near your broadband. Stay tuned for more comedy...

  • 3_monk Monkenstien. (@3_monk) reported

    @virginmedia I was yes and he did try admirably for 45mins yet in the end the only option was to cancel as the offers you have for existing customers really aren't competative, not even close.

  • andrewminsky Andrew Minsky ACA (@andrewminsky) reported

    @virginmedia Ok. I would expect response much quicker….otherwise engineer slots go…when can I cancel?

  • GrumpyCommuter6 Grumpy Commuter (@GrumpyCommuter6) reported

    @virginmedia Hi. Its going wonky again. But the service checker is now saying it could be the hub 5. And the problems only really started when going from hub 3 to hub 5. Is it possible to get a replacement?

  • BiddickCraig Craig Biddick (@BiddickCraig) reported

    @O2 @virginmedia @TheO2 Hopefully you get prioritised when they agree to set up your new Broadband and you don't have to wait 13 days so your can work from home and your children can prepare for exams. And they don't even try and fix it..

  • LeafNetSco Blake (Leaf Networks 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿) (@LeafNetSco) reported

    @Tronn206 @ispreview @virginmedia If it's an upgrade you can cancel your upgrade on the same premise and should go back to what you were on beforehand.
