  • REDROBB1967 ROB FARACE 💙 (@REDROBB1967) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia Thank you but I just want my service to work reliably. I’m tired of chasing people & being given the run around. I can’t spend hours on the phone everyday to achieve nothing. I just want what I pay a lot of money for every month.

  • TechZilla_ Tech Zilla (@TechZilla_) reported from Brentford, England

    @virginmedia Well your customers report issues on download detector because you guys are so difficult to reach!

  • Morvaridp Morvarid (@Morvaridp) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia We signed a new contract and we were meant to have internet connection by Monday/Tuesday. We still don’t! We called then on Wednesday and they said they call back. They never did. We called yesterday. They said they’ll look into it. Nothing yet!!

  • lastminutepete Peter McLoughlin (@lastminutepete) reported from Hillingdon, England

    @virginmedia I did all that yesterday. On the laptop that recorded a speed of 1.28mbps, when I put the Ethernet cable in, it was 254.99mbps. On the Apple TV, it went from 1.06 to 651. It’s not just these devices, these are the worst examples

  • Morvaridp Morvarid (@Morvaridp) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia @virginmedia will someone actually be able to help us or will we get the same service we’ve been getting from various people we’ve been talking to? I don’t know how else to escalate this anymore!!! It’s taken so much of our time and added stress ...

  • jdboxall John Boxall (@jdboxall) reported from Merton, England

    Hey @virginmedia your website says no problems with Broadband in SW19 - been dropping out all morning and your own diagnostic tool says: There's a network issue which maybe affecting your broadband service. Please advise when you will fix it and update your mendacious website.

  • Jamesmeredith James Meredith (@Jamesmeredith) reported from Camberwell, England

    @CommunityFibre @virginmedia #broadband #internet I cancelled Virgin Media broadband in January due to poor customer service and very poor upload speed. Community Fibre are an amazing company! Speeds upload & down 150meg half the price of Virgin. Cust Serv outstanding!! CF!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

  • LauraGreenawa12 Laura Greenaway (@LauraGreenawa12) reported from Merton, England

    @BeckyEverson @SkyUK @virginmedia Nope, virgin always lagging or down completely, have to reboot or switch between 2g or 5 g

  • jim_dawes James Dawes (@jim_dawes) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia no broadband, WiFi or TV services in the SE7 area until 5pm today is completely unacceptable for people working from home. Engineering faults should not be happening during the day. £8 compensation is absolute peanuts. Very poor indeed.

  • Sheetal_15 Sheetal (@Sheetal_15) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia any chance you could actually have an engineer call the time they said they would? Just moved to a new home and your service has been atrocious so far.

  • jackbremer The Honourable Jack Bremer, Laird of Loch Borralan (@jackbremer) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @virginmedia All, got builders in, need to talk to someone The point I was making was your app is bad

  • Purp_Amethyst Maya (@Purp_Amethyst) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia guys my internet is not working ?

  • ImaginaryCard MOMO (@ImaginaryCard) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @virginmedia How's that gonna fix my problem? Twice in 2 weeks I've had no service. Can I cancel my contract if I'm in the 1st month?

  • faysasilva Elizabeth Silva (@faysasilva) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia That might be the case for others but In Our estate we have been instructed by the engineers to call virgin for an internal switching of service as the new connections are live . The main point is I’m without service I can’t work, no TV no phone and will be until Monday according

  • faysasilva Elizabeth Silva (@faysasilva) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia can you tell me why my internet connection is gone from the outside of my house? You have left me 3 days without internet for 3 days with no explanation and now when I call your customer service you tell me n a recorded message an engineer is coming and when I call

  • faysasilva Elizabeth Silva (@faysasilva) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia I have not internet in my flat in EC1V9ET since Monday. No explanation no comment and after calling the Customer Service team every day for an update today I was told that I should not be working from home if I’m not a business.! So that’s just 👍 great. That’s why 1

  • lastminutepete Peter McLoughlin (@lastminutepete) reported from Hillingdon, England

    @virginmedia Good morning. Yes it’s an ongoing problem that isn’t going to go away on its own, it needs resolving please. I see that there is now a Hub 4 available, does that emit a stronger WiFi signal? And what about Booster Pods? I don’t live it a mansion, it’s just a normal 3 bed semi.

  • lastminutepete Peter McLoughlin (@lastminutepete) reported from Hillingdon, England

    @virginmedia I’m on M600 Fibre Broadband. On my account it says ‘our broadband doesn’t get quicker than this. You’re on our top tier broadband!’ If I got a Hub 4 and 1gb broadband, would that guarantee a stronger and faster WiFi network?

  • TechZilla_ Tech Zilla (@TechZilla_) reported from Brentford, England

    @virginmedia When I checked other sites like down detector it shows Virgin broadband is down all over london so how come you don’t know that?

  • lastminutepete Peter McLoughlin (@lastminutepete) reported from Hillingdon, England

    @virginmedia Yes I’ve done all that and it said the signal was weak. Pressed the button to optimise the WiFi or router or whatever it is and that didn’t work. Is it not the job of the router to emit a strong WiFi signal? All the devices trying to connect are modern and up to date.

    @virginmedia Hi I've had none stop signal & mobile data issues all day. Poor signal & MD keeps dropping to H. No issues with my phone. I've done the usual ✅. Can you please advice me on what the problem is here please?

  • gall3392 Neil (@gall3392) reported

    @virginmedia I have no Internet called the support line spoke to a male explained the issue, he said my router was coming up as unknown and rather than investigate he ended the call I waited for 40mins for that! can someone please help sort this issue before I cancel everything.

  • stevejarvis Steve Jarvis (@stevejarvis) reported

    utterly **** service from @virginmedia engineer was due today they cancelled them and didn't bother to tell us so waited in all day.

  • se3john John (@se3john) reported

    @virginmedia does the modem in the old superhub 2 support 500Mbps speeds? I'm in modem only mode on my SH3 but wonder if the modem might be the reason for the 1-5% packetloss and terrible upload speeds I regularly see. Should I try out the SH2 and see if that is better?

  • PurpleGibbon Alex Newman (@PurpleGibbon) reported

    @virginmedia For the third day in a row my internet has been intermittently down for hours, others in my area with the same issue yet you continue to not show a fault on the website. I have run all the tests, reset my hub and I’m trying to work from home, help please?

  • MrFnRayner Mr Rayner (@MrFnRayner) reported

    @virginmedia @VirginMediaIE So I'm without enough upload speed to maintain video over the weekend. Whatever about streaming, my issue is that now I'm not going to get to spend decent time with my son in England.

  • G7FBD Mat Adlard (@G7FBD) reported

    @virginmedia Nope.. still dropping . Shill showing all good on virgin pages. Yet other network status pages show you have issues.. i have rebooted my modem and router (seperate items).. other reports of friends in bristol are getting drops too. And have been dor over two weeks.

  • ___Keir___ Hardy 🕷 (@___Keir___) reported

    @virginmedia down yet again, hub 4 top package.. complete waste of money.. avoid!

  • SalemsLady SalemsLady (@SalemsLady) reported

    @camelot_x @virginmedia I've spoken to one of the team who actually made the tablets directly now (vm still no help) and they confirmed it's a known issue, but the software team need to deal with it unfortunately not him, it seems SOMEONE is doing some tests, but not very helpful giving updates.

  • HappyMattTastic supermattman (@HappyMattTastic) reported

    @virginmedia He did speak to someone & they said the microwave was the problem. Not the service you provide. Not saying that's true as I can be right next to the router & not be able to stream anything sometimes but fobbing off seems to be high on the phone call help team
