    @virginmedia It’s on both WiFi and wired. At this present moment I’m unable to get ANY network from the router on both.

    @virginmedia I received my new 500+mps broadband only to get 6mps on my phone in my room. The Router is Terrible and cannot send the speed to devices via wifi. Not Good for anyone

    Had an @virginmedia broadband outage on Sunday for 2 hours. Since then, connection so spotty that I'm getting 10 seconds of completely dropped packets followed by 20 seconds of slow-as-molasses ping times once every 10 minutes.

    John (@jfrncs_) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I have now tried unsuccessfully for 12 hours to use the WhatsApp service as again it goes around in circles if I am not immediately available. The number you helpfully provided hangs up after sending a link… please advise how I talk to someone about my account.

  • frugalista1
    Frugalista (@frugalista1) reported from Dorridge, England

    @virginmedia Typical Virgin Media response. Passing me on. Not actually solving the problem. I will never come back to @virginmedia and will advise all my friends never to think of using you.

  • measlewolf
    Steve Lees (@measlewolf) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia I’m currently on hold. My mum is in her 70’s and waited in for an engineer only for them to send a text 10mins before to say you were coming in the 26th. The original appointment was the 21st and her TV service has been down for well over a week.

  • nealesj
    Simon Neale (@nealesj) reported from Swindon, England

    Hey, ‘RP,’ again, @virginmedia is down. The lack of resilience is shocking and embarrassing for a major broadband provider. #VirginMediaDown #VirginMedia

  • stumccullagh
    Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Solihull, England

    Had problems with my TV since September now can’t get any live football or movies @virginmedia

    Robin 🤘🏻 (@RobinB1971) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia signed up for your new broadband and still waiting for the stuff to arrive. Apparently parcel is still at @YodelOnline main hub. This is the SECOND day I've cancelled things and waited for it to arrive as yet to no avail. WTF is going on!?! 🤬

  • Stephen12857059
    Stephen Bennett (@Stephen12857059) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Nobody has called me and the WhatsApp chat is very frustrating and not dealing with the issue. This is very simple, I was sent contract paperwork with an agreed monthly fee of £86.75. Why have I paid two months of excessively higher payments. I should have left VM

  • ReissOmari
    Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, England

    Mad that I pay £71 a month for 350mbps for @virginmedia Broadband for them to only supply me with 40mbps, internet is barely moving, can’t even load basic web pages on my MacBook or phone. Problems in the Birmingham area?

  • BeardPunk
    Beard Punk (@BeardPunk) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Hi. The team have also said that the issue isn’t resolved though? Everything has been reset multiple times this morning and still the same issue.

  • NickHickey84
    Trickie Dickie (@NickHickey84) reported from Bradmore, England

    @virginmedia a customer of yours for years. Had a cpi increase letter to say leave with out penalty. Competitor massively cheaper than you for faster speeds. Only to be told by a colleague I have to pay £110 to leave today?

  • measlewolf
    Steve Lees (@measlewolf) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia I understand that your systems were down last night, which happens, but I’ve been on hold for 30 mins this morning. We have a text to say it’s resolved but it isn’t. I just need to speak to someone please.

    @virginmedia Great to hear a you problem in my area cant be fixed until at LEAST tomorrow afternoon. No TV, no WiFi and not even a land line phone. Thank the @EE gods for my mobile data🙏🏻 Not so good for my 80 year old parents now🙄

  • entrustTMF
    entrustTMF (@entrustTMF) reported

    @virginmedia OK, leaving aside the fact it seems pretty poor that I haven't had a reply from the original agent for four days now I'm happy enough to send a repeat of it IF I don't need to faff about going through security yet AGAIN? IF I do-I'll just wait for a reply to the original DMs. OK?

    Turkish 🇹🇷 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@Turkish_hackney) reported

    @virginmedia spoke to your customer service not long ago and the person couldn’t understand me. Why do you hire people that don’t understand basic English sorry to say. And your services are rubbish by the way, I will be cancelling

    @virginmedia You bill me for a paper bill £1.75 raised the issue feb 25th 2025 to which you promised a credit of £10 this never happened and have then continued to bill me on paper bill at £1.75 for 14 months, all chat logs have been kept, then tried to offer me £15 credit in total

    Charlotte Riggio (@MsLiberty1776US) reported

    @virginmedia you know what would be great? If your phone system worked so your agents could hear customers and not hang up on them saying there’s no response

  • Gtmcdonald1996
    Glenn McDonald (@Gtmcdonald1996) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve been in a live chat for nearly 2 hours with no joy on a resolution and I’ve also tried calling your number numerous times but can’t get through.

  • entrustTMF
    entrustTMF (@entrustTMF) reported

    @BertySi @virginmedia That's a flat no from @virginmedia on the MiFi with credit suggestion. Question is, are they prepared to do anything to help or assist seriously inconvenienced and frustrated customers?
