  • RealClareB Clare 🐝 (@RealClareB) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia Apparently there is an issue in the area. It’s happened quite a few times and as I work from home a lot, losing a half day of work time is very frustrating.

  • bluegail1 Gail Price 💯🏆💙⚽️ CHAMPIONS!🐝🦈 (@bluegail1) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia that was extremely good service by your customer service team. Thank you very much for all your help. Maybe you could give some advice to @o2

  • toewad1 toewad1 (@toewad1) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia I have had enough of @virginmedia gaming is a disaster, not every now and then, every night every game always lagging 1 on 1 shootouts forget it, I have been in touch with your support 100s of times, I get sick of answering the same questions, your equipment is garbage, bye.

  • toewad1 toewad1 (@toewad1) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia Reboot all the time, it is crap broadband.

  • toewad1 toewad1 (@toewad1) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia Lag, gaming is crap, your broadband is fast but not a gaming broadband, remember all your gaming 200 and all the other crap.

  • toewad1 toewad1 (@toewad1) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia This is the experience I have had of VM ever since I can remember, but it was either you or 6mbps with phone line, but soon I will have fttp with @SkyUK or some other @EE but deffo not you, never ever again @virginmedia.

  • toewad1 toewad1 (@toewad1) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia Forget that sorry but your router is CRAP and you know ut cheap shit.

  • Knitswithbeer knitswithbeer🐝 (@Knitswithbeer) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia Same issue if I'm home, which I'm not at the moment. Incredibly frustrating that the only place I have pathetic Wi-Fi access is in my own home.

  • MetzGeorgia Georgiex (@MetzGeorgia) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Terrible.

  • Doublejayz72 James Jackson (@Doublejayz72) reported from Manchester, England

    You know what I love about @virginmedia they are not content with being rubbish.....not at all. They are constantly thinking of ways to be worse, no Broadband for 3 days and do they care... nope. Hats off to them for breaking boundaries and proving crap just isn’t good enough

  • toewad1 toewad1 (@toewad1) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia Tried everything asked everything, I have had VM for 10 years it's not been brilliant you seem to provide equipment that is not tried and tested, that hub 3 router has to be the worst ever you can't even open all the recomended ports on it, look at the hub 3 forums.

  • toewad1 toewad1 (@toewad1) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia Lots of times but a long time ago, your support can't fix it all they care about is you are getting a good speed and I am, but obviously it's not good for gaming, the hub 2 was better but you moved on to the hub 3, not good.

  • TCarroll1969 Tony Carroll (@TCarroll1969) reported from Salford, England

    @BradHoward3 @virginmedia They CAN'T be that bad...

  • toewad1 toewad1 (@toewad1) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia Just started gaming, played 5 games backed out of 5 games, lag, lag, lag, come on Virgin sort your crap Broadband out this is so boring and predictable.

  • funkytownlondon FunkyTown (@funkytownlondon) reported from Manchester, England

    @corblimey22 @virginmedia @vmbusiness Someone close to me having the same Problem with BT 😐 it’s 2019 ffs

  • toewad1 toewad1 (@toewad1) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia Does it matter what you see, it might matter to microsoft, I buy your internet for gaming, that's it if you get ripped by microsoft that's your problem you sort it that's why I we pay for you GAMING🖕

  • SteveHaylesALAW Steve 🎗🎗 (@SteveHaylesALAW) reported from Walkden, England

    @virginmedia is there any issues in the M28 area. I have no phone or broadband but your app says service status is ok

  • toewad1 toewad1 (@toewad1) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia Right, the only known issues is Virgin Media, tonight I have played 1 full game the other 10 I have backed out of, so my question is what are vm going to do about it, not reset hub, open ports, allow dmz all that crapjust give me what I pay for a gaming broadband like advertised

  • xmatt_ Matthew Catterall (@xmatt_) reported from Manchester, England

    @b33rdy @act5scene3 @virginmedia Always do the speed test but make sure it's wired as I work for an ISP and wireless speeds mean jack shit.

  • toewad1 toewad1 (@toewad1) reported from Salford, England

  • StephenDewing Stephen Dewing 🇬🇧 (@StephenDewing) reported

    @virginmedia Whether you made money off it or not its irrelevant. I still got charged for two phone calls when a simple option via your website would suffice. Let's be honest I can mould and manipulate my package for free any way I like. To cancel it costs me money - go figure!

  • Jaiiskii James (@Jaiiskii) reported

    @ncar_22 @virginmedia Yeah, all I wanted to do was cancel my package, which they wrote to me to do so if I wanted 😒

  • rikck East Kent (@rikck) reported

    @virginmedia WHY DO YOU PURPOSELY MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR CUSTOMERS TO DOWNGRADE THEIR PACKAGE? I ‘PHONE 150 BUT YOUR STAFF ALWAYS CUT ME OFF. YOUR STAFF HAVE NOW PASSED A COMPLAINT ON THE COMMUNITY FORUM TO MANAGERS BUT NOW I AM BEING IGNORED. DOWNGRADE MY PACKAGE!!!!!!!!

  • Re6eccaBoo 🌿Rebecca⛲ (@Re6eccaBoo) reported

    @virginmedia He went off and checked and then said it would take 24 hours so he would call me to check it was sorted today. There is some issue because it is a new sim. I just wanted my old number so wanted to keep that sim and put it in my new phone.

  • hrhhootiewho Kanu’s hattrick (@hrhhootiewho) reported

    @virginmedia ive spent 3 hours over the past 2 days trying to get through to someone to cancel my contract. Continued poor performance makes me want to leave faster

  • vikaskhatri1976 Vikas Khatri (@vikaskhatri1976) reported

    @virginmedia Due to delay in getting this right from your team on the first or second call, I loosed out on the best sim deal which is no longer available now... Really horrible experience during the sales process, I can imaging how horrible the services can be now for me....

  • AfterDark_16 Melissa (@AfterDark_16) reported

    @virginmedia Better connected lol broadband not working again been cutting out for days, phone helpline and get cut off before you can speak to anyone as the house phone runs through the broadband now. Online status says your good and book technican. Then get a text to say problem in area 🙄

  • AyyEmbo inF Embo (@AyyEmbo) reported

    @virginmedia Been on the phone to them for over 40 minutes trying to find the problem. Been going on for months. I don't understand why paying for a service that not working. Also why is my IP static? When virgin media state on website that it's dynamic?

  • settolove86 M 💙 (@settolove86) reported

    @virginmedia Our service has been down since 11pm last night, absolutely no customer service, we cannot get through to anyone. Unacceptable.

  • ncar_22 Nathan (@ncar_22) reported

    @Jaiiskii @virginmedia That is awful!
