    @virginmedia Hi, done a few tests and reset router etc and it’s still the same. Speed drops on Ethernet and wireless. It’s very intermittent though. It can be fine for a couple of hours and then have a few minutes of really slow speeds.

  • ImLauraa Laura Donnellan (@ImLauraa) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia Well we don’t have a tracking number and we haven’t heard anything back since we returned the faulty phone. We also tried the text messaging service but also takes ages to get a reply.

    @virginmedia not working - again. 2nd night in a row. Good job it doesn’t cost a small fortune a month or anything. #shite

  • LeanintoDesign John Grimshaw (@LeanintoDesign) reported from Oldham, England

    @RischDesigns @fittdr @virginmedia @Plusnet @NOWTV @emmerdale @LoveIsland @ASBO_Allstar I'm on 350 which is great but the router let's it down, the old superhub2 had much better firmware and an easier UI.

  • MrKarlEdgar Karl (@MrKarlEdgar) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia It's over both, if reset my box and it's back on but DEAD SLOW like it barly loads pages

    @virginmedia No they wont.... I was on hold for over 3o minutes before someone answered and when he did he said he'd give me a default Password and then he hung up.... wtf. Your customer service and service full stop is an absolute joke!

  • RubbermanPaul Paul Barton (@RubbermanPaul) reported from Rochdale, England

    @virginmedia well come home from working away on Friday with a lot of emails to reply to. To discover my router is broken wife phoned up Friday afternoon customer service said they would send one out by Monday shocking service I’m out of contract so will look elsewhere 😡😡😡

    @virginmedia Yes I’ve done that several times and there’s never any known issues

  • MikeM0309 Mike Astro Mckenna (@MikeM0309) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia Still the same. Can't sign in on your website.

  • MikeM0309 Mike Astro Mckenna (@MikeM0309) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia For days now I have been trying to sign in to my account to no avail, so let me say if you have not sorted this problem soon then I will NOT be paying you, I will NOT be contacting you and I will NOT be answering any calls from you. I'm sick and tired of this SHIT.

  • Jenniepenny30 Jennie Roach (@Jenniepenny30) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia No, a complaint has been made

  • jameze1992 James Marshall (@jameze1992) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia Just finished a phone call. No engineer until tomorrow which leaves my vulnerable mum without a phone. Completely unacceptable service. Spoke to a manager who wouldn't allow me to take this further.

  • ryanramgobin Ryan Ramgobin (@ryanramgobin) reported

    @virginmedia Hi - I've installed a new router and ran the Virgin Connect app and a poor signal found across flat. It says to buy boosters and links through to a website saying there's none available. Call the helpline and links through to same website.

  • JessLottyPotter Jessica - Mother of Dobermans (@JessLottyPotter) reported

    @andychanz @michelepotter11 @virginmedia Interestingly my services have been down all day. Just after they increase my bill (even though I’m under contract at an agreed price) Gotta be down for 48 hours before they offer any compensation though. Not good enough seeing as I’m a ‘critical worker’

  • lilyilaria lily (@lilyilaria) reported

    @virginmedia our WiFi is COMPLETELY DOWN only working in the room of the WiFi box, 5 of us trying to do uni work. Says it’s connected to your device but doesn’t work at all. We even have a booster in the other end of the house and nothing. Please help

  • andrewhepburn Andrew Hepburn (@andrewhepburn) reported

    @virginmedia The person I spoke to said he couldn’t pull up my account details and told me to phone back. Why would another person not have the same problem? How many times am i supposed to call? Calling 151 direct now I can’t get past the automated system. I

  • 71simon Simon (@71simon) reported

    @virginmedia So it tells me I have problems, but doesn’t elaborate.

  • prg25bro Peter Garland (@prg25bro) reported

    @virginmedia I can get through. They say the system is down. I've given you the 30 days notice as per the contract (section O) so fully expect 29 days if I have to call tomorrow to sort it. It's not my fault your system isn't working, it's yours.

  • koffee_truffles Anne Bell (@koffee_truffles) reported

    @virginmedia @Mashcat This is absolutely 💯 ridiculous 🤬 When your TV package costs more than Car Insurance each month you really should be providing MUCH BETTER SERVICE! #CustomerServiceFail
