    Jorge Martínez López (@jorgeml) reported from London, England

    @JamesJWalsh @virginmedia I used to be a customer before moving to Lewisham and left them because I was getting about 10% of the contracted speed and they were taking months to resolve it. They ended up admitting it was oversubscription.

  • JoeWelstead

    @virginmedia my WiFi speed is 80mps next to the router, and 8mps in the room next door, with the door open! Why does the signal suck so much? :-(

    @virginmedia My mother lives next to Grenfell and she’s a bit paranoid her router and/or charger is overheating. Customer services aren’t taking her serious. What should I do? Besides unplugging the service?

  • JLoveRage
    James Loveridge (@JLoveRage) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia hi guys, I'm in North London & having issues with my WiFi. Keep getting IP Configuration Failure message, yet all the lights are on/blinking correctly. Tried a factory reset and still not working. Ethernet is fine but none of my devices will connect to the WiFi. Help

  • jorgeml
    Jorge Martínez López (@jorgeml) reported from London, England

    @JamesJWalsh @virginmedia Don't mention the word WiFi, your problem is the WAN connection. Plug you laptop via the LAN cable when testing / calling them.

    @virginmedia need to find out who to contact about bad single on my mobile????

    @virginmedia Hi my internet is down again tried rebooting but still down and says no issues when done online check? Can you help as wfh so need back ASAP for Monday

  • jorgeml
    Jorge Martínez López (@jorgeml) reported from London, England

    @JamesJWalsh @virginmedia The people on first line support are there to filter out the most obvious problems (wrong password, equipment not plugged or faulty, etc). Your goal noe is to prove that it's not your fault (device configuration, weak WiFi, etc).

  • JLoveRage
    James Loveridge (@JLoveRage) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia It's working now but was down for 12 hours

  • jorgeml
    Jorge Martínez López (@jorgeml) reported from London, England

    @JamesJWalsh @virginmedia That's to discard physical problems with your cable.

  • JamesJWalsh
    James-J Walsh (@JamesJWalsh) reported from London, England

    Hey @virginmedia are there problems in #Lewisham? My WiFi keeps dropping out regularly. Tried ringing CS. Closed.

  • TonyRoddUK
    Tony Rodd (@TonyRoddUK) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia It's finally working but says there's an intermittant error on the network. No option to get it fixed though. Anything that can be done?

  • jorgeml
    Jorge Martínez López (@jorgeml) reported from London, England

    @JamesJWalsh @virginmedia The router has a couple of pages that are useful, one has the logs (check the error timestamp matches when your connection went down). There is also a more technical page that shows the uplink / downlink channels, have a look and check there is some voltage on them.

  • TonyRoddUK
    Tony Rodd (@TonyRoddUK) reported from London, England

    Anyone on @virginmedia in SE London able to get online? We have had more issues and their service status page doesn't seem to be working. Doesn't look like they're responding to tweets either for the past 17 hours...

    @virginmedia thanks on behalf of all virgin media customers for not being able to pick up phones to help those who need help but have no wish to "Do it on line" we haven't received any compensation for 3 days of no net even though we have registered it everyday. PART ONE

    @virginmedia I can’t log in since moving address, nor can I make a new account. Your website FAQs and live chat are not helping. Please help!

  • GlazedGater
    Michael🇿🇦🏆🏆🏆 (@GlazedGater) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, they tried to cancel over the phone(I was keeping my number) they said they would put a not on my account not to charge me. I then got my PAC code and moved networks as the lady instructed me to do. I was told I would not be charged but I was anyway.

  • Tracy_Scott75
    Tracy Scott (@Tracy_Scott75) reported

    @virginmedia Seriously thinking of swapping suppliers now we are that sick of it, weve only got a phone line and broadband and it costs just over £52 a month and we don't even use the phone!! So it's a lot of money just to use an intermittent broadband service.

  • Matty332
    Matt (@Matty332) reported

    @osullivk1208 @virginmedia Glad to see some people are getting a service. I’ve been waiting over 3 for @virginmedia to call me back about moving my services into a different room. “Unable to come out due to covid”.

  • PaulGDJ
    Paul Jempson (@PaulGDJ) reported

    @virginmedia Yes. My problem isn’t with the install date. It’s been the multiple attempts at a pre-install survey appointment to discuss the install. I’ve been fobbed off with rebookings and no one ever knocks (even though it’s clear someone inspected the footpath) #virginmedia

    I hate to spam you guys.. but I’m so mad. @vmbusiness is down again.. I was enjoying my Netflix..

  • edwards0819
    Jan Edwards (@edwards0819) reported

    @virginmedia Guess what, they still have not called me, after absolutely promising me now 4 times on 4 different days including today that I would be called. Cancelling as a customer. Thank you for nothing.
