    Been through 16 mths of lockdown, 3 working from home & hardly a glitch on the broadband. Last 8wks its gone down for several minutes a day between 10am and 1pm. Only on weekdays & its supposed to be a problem with our hub, really? An engineer could find it @virginmedia #shoddy

    @virginmedia Well I don't know if the problem has been restored at virgins end I received help and advice from an outside source who showed show me how to work around the problem with manual DNS entries. But for me, working now. Thanks.

  • Mcollinson72
    Michael Collinson (@Mcollinson72) reported from Wakefield, England

    Slow glad to be moving from @virginmedia broadband this Friday. Their advertised speeds used to be unparalleled but since FTTP alternatives becoming available their appalling level of service and refusal to acknowledge or deal with faults has forced a once loyal customer

    @virginmedia why is it not working in LS12 area.

  • Jackielindak
    Jackie 🤍 (@Jackielindak) reported from Doncaster, England

    @virginmedia Well I’m trying to cancel but no one is answering so I can’t. Unfortunately i can get better deal elsewhere so will be leaving

  • HarlamTK
    Tom “Harlam” King (@HarlamTK) reported from Wombwell, England

    @virginmedia And I can’t raise a complaint on the site without having an account, which I don’t have, so that is a pointless endeavour as well

  • downhamdn
    denise downham (@downhamdn) reported from Great and Little Preston, England

    @SandyLindsay @virginmedia They have the worst customer service. We binned them on the back of appalling service

    @RestartCarl @virginmedia BT are just as bad.

  • suellen2623
    sue ellen draper 💙🇺🇦💛 (@suellen2623) reported from Leeds, England

    @O2 and @virginmedia should be ashamed of themselves. 10 tickets per customer is not right. Their loyal honest customers once again miss out thanks to the greedy. As for the websites complete joke should have been prepared for this!!!! #peterkaytickets

    @virginmedia Hi in LS28 7TU vigin services are down. We have no phone, TV channel services. It is giving v53 error code. Can you please sort this out. Thanks

  • RichieH37745130
    Richie Hall (@RichieH37745130) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia @O2 Signal normal drops out due to signals from other routers would and can cloud your signal. The intelligent WiFi of the HUB 3.0 will switch between 2.4ghz and 5ghz wnd there is where you will experience the drop connection. My recommendation is a pin hole reset. 👍

  • guyrleech
    Guy Leech (@guyrleech) reported from Wakefield, England

    @vmbusiness strike yet again!😠 Not only are they charging me £7/month for 4G backup that doesn't work, they are now charging me £4 for paper bills that I never asked for. Oh, and still say I owe them money despite me overpaying due a to a red letter that they took by DD later

    @virginmedia You’ve basically told me what I’ve told you! I wanted to know what the problem is? And why it hasn’t been fixed yet! Not to check the service status which I have already done 😖😡

    @virginmedia what is going on with broadband? Incredibly slow, dropping out every other minute, literally.

  • ShannonGMorley
    Shannon Morley (@ShannonGMorley) reported

    @Art71Rachael @virginmedia I didn’t get a tea or coffee the other day, slowly, then quickly morphed into a murder-y snit. I now have to own yet petty little addiction (add: internet and TV). Damn you Big Cable, Big Tea, Big Coffee! 😵‍💫

    Ben Grant (@MrBenGrant) reported

    @willywillett @virginmedia Had a similar issue with an engineer, they booked an appointment for 4-7pm on a Saturday and it turned out they engineers stop at 5. So the engineer wasn’t able to get to me. They came a few days later and said they would never come after 5 on a Saturday

  • xTHEDROIDx
    Richard (@xTHEDROIDx) reported

    @virginmedia I'm trying to link my parents virgin media o2 account with a virgin media account, but when I do this, it's asking us to sign in with an email address we do not have access to. I've tried calling your customer services and they can't understand me.

  • theRealNickle
    Time for change (@theRealNickle) reported

    .@virginmedia made multiple phone call to report issues. Promises made, problems not resolved. Fortunately, contract is up soon.

  • drstevelewis
    Steve Lewis (@drstevelewis) reported

    @SkyCricket Any chance UK tv viewers could watch this on our @virginmedia sets please? Channels 504 and 505 are not working and yes I have switched it off and back on (twice). We pay 💰s for this and the report service doesn’t seem to do very much, except send me round its loops. Not cricket

    Mark Whelan (@Lincsforest) reported

    @virginmedia your installation of my new broadband is turning into a mockery of a sham! No communication, no professionalism, a complete lack of customer care! A VERY UNSATISFACTORY WAY TO CONDUCT BUSINESS! Your chatbot is also incompetent! @Ofcom #poorcustomerservice
