  • MartinCox0155 Martin 'Snazzy' Cox (@MartinCox0155) reported from Croydon, England

    @virginmedia No. Ever since I've had broadband, the router (of which yours is my third), has been pretty much in the same place. I've had your service for maybe 3 years. The issue is relatively recent. The nearest items are 1) my PC 2) loudspeaker. 1/2

  • MartinCox0155 Martin 'Snazzy' Cox (@MartinCox0155) reported from Croydon, England

    @virginmedia Was useless. Uninstalled. Moved my router seemed to fix the issue

  • dear_allison Ally Dear (@dear_allison) reported from Poplar, England

    @virginmedia I’m trying to cancel my shitty overpriced virgin media and I’ve been on hold for 40 mins with no answer. Quick enough to take my money though. Wankers

  • MartinCox0155 Martin 'Snazzy' Cox (@MartinCox0155) reported from Croydon, England

    @virginmedia Before I moved the router, I kept on losing Internet connectivity in other rooms in my one floor flat on my phone. No issue in my living room where the router is located. I would have to disconnect Wi-Fi on my phone, then reconnect. I moved the router by a about 1 foot. Now fine

  • loftyjen #hellomynameis Jenny (@loftyjen) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia Have already spoken to a customer advisor today - is due is with the fraud dept failing to follow up issues & so now going via complaints dept.

  • MartinCox0155 Martin 'Snazzy' Cox (@MartinCox0155) reported from Croydon, England

    @virginmedia I've had the issue for several months. Used to have no problems. Moving the router seems to have resolved it.

  • MartinCox0155 Martin 'Snazzy' Cox (@MartinCox0155) reported from Croydon, England

    @virginmedia I did. This is where this conversation started. The first time I tested using, it claimed all was well. Substantially it simply advised me to restart the router. It was not of any help, hence I moved the router, which resolved the issue & uninstalled the app.

  • LuminousBeige Luminousbeige (@LuminousBeige) reported from Camden Town, England

    Trying to cancel virgin media @VirginMedia_One is like trying to achieve alchemy from shit - just can’t seem to get through and when I go they pass me over to a new department. Ffs 25 mins on the phone now

  • NW6Penguin Napoleon (@NW6Penguin) reported from City of London, England

    @Emily_Benn @virginmedia I still get issues with bbc4 pixels ting again. Must be the only person who called about bbc4

  • CaffWilkinson Cathy Wilkinson (@CaffWilkinson) reported from Crayford, England

    The problem wasn’t resolved, informed that many customers were phoning with a similar issues with BT sport. Can’t log onto the app as my WiFi is currently not working either! That’s being looked at on Friday @virginmedia

    @virginmedia Hi, the phone call confirmed there is an ongoing problem in the area but despite being registered for updates (confirmed by the call) we haven't received any updates. I have a technician's appointment now booked because the app check told me I needed one, which I can't cancel

  • 1280sue SueCr 🐯🧡🖤 (@1280sue) reported

    @virginmedia what team, cant get on website, phone keeps going off so waste of time there (attached to 24 hr carelink as well) All off this morning for a short period, 2nd time in a week. Cant afford the huge jump in monthly bill any more for crap service so will be cancelling.

  • AmandaBabington Amanda Babington (@AmandaBabington) reported

    @virginmedia new Hub connects to every device except my laptop. Shows connection but no internet. Currently on day 3 of lost business as a result. Your community forum shows this is a common problem with Hub 5. But I can’t speak to anyone to fix it?!

  • pwntsville Pwntsville (@pwntsville) reported

    @virginmedia browsing the internet, video games and more importantly playing poker (which has cost me money due to disconnecting during hands) it happens across all devices at the same time. i never had a problem with you guys for 7 years but these last two years have been hell

  • riot_squid Abi (@riot_squid) reported

    Surprise surprise, @virginmedia is down again and the service status website isn’t working

  • SafeDave David Hitchen (@SafeDave) reported

    @virginmedia “We will try and remotely fix it” “it’s ok our end” “we’ll get an engineer out” “we can’t get an engineer out” “we will charge you if nothings wrong”…..the list goes on.
