  • Sussexmerlins Nick Weston 🇪🇺 (@Sussexmerlins) reported from Hove, England

    @yorkshirerosie @virginmedia Agree. Might just be a faulty router. Unless you live in a castle there shouldn’t be a problem in the room next to the router. I’m in the garden and my router is 20m away in the front room.

  • theminxyone Tabitha (@theminxyone) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia please can you confirm that my text message was received and that my contract will cancel after the end of this billing period? Thanks

  • RGNJonathan Jonathan O'Keeffe (@RGNJonathan) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Don’t have an Ethernet cables. My phone actually uses 5G if signal is weak so it was likely my data not WiFi

  • christieblythe (◕‿◕✿) (@christieblythe) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia are ******* shite. All I wanna do is cancel my contract 🙃 been on hold for fukin ages. 🤬🤬🤬

  • Sussexmerlins Nick Weston 🇪🇺 (@Sussexmerlins) reported from Hove, England

    @yorkshirerosie @virginmedia I think your issue is that you are furthest from the cabinet. Therefore everyone else is getting the capacity first. That said for that big a drop in speed late at night it means that they either reduced the capacity on the line or something further up is using a lot. It could

  • jettypaul71 Jeff Webber (@jettypaul71) reported from Burgess Hill, England

    @virginmedia I have no TV but you are not taking calls so how can I sort issue - looks like you changed/cancelled my account!!??

  • aliceharmanx alice❁ (@aliceharmanx) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia how long is the wait to get through to customer services on the phone?

  • Sussexmerlins Nick Weston 🇪🇺 (@Sussexmerlins) reported from Hove, England

    @yorkshirerosie @virginmedia Be that there are businesses on the same exchange backing up their data. I have a similar issue. Sky guarantee 70mb but I only get 65mb. I’m therefore able to cancel my contract and go to another provider. However. This would depend on who the provider is. Most providers buy

  • theminxyone Tabitha (@theminxyone) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia please confirm you received my text message to cancel my contract with you. Thank you

  • indiointernet Brian Roe (@indiointernet) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia, what happened to the Travel Channel on 289? No warnings, no I go, just gone! It was my favorite channel and it's been scrapped of your network. What's going on?

  • DeccanTiffin PriyaBTN (@DeccanTiffin) reported from Hove, England

    @virginmedia Is this some kind of joke? Just called this number and got an auto reply saying voice calls are not supported on this number. The WiFi service is awful today by the way.

  • HelenMonahan18 Helen Monahan (@HelenMonahan18) reported from Shoreham-by-Sea, England

    After another 72 hrs without business @virginmedia you finally sent an engineer thanks for ruining another week of business in a pandemic so after 6 months of terrible customer service and disruption nobody cares

  • Sussexmerlins Nick Weston 🇪🇺 (@Sussexmerlins) reported from Hove, England

    @yorkshirerosie @virginmedia Is your issue that the speed is up and down and it sometimes doesn’t work or that it doesn’t work in parts of your house?

  • DrSTun STun (@DrSTun) reported from Hove, England

    @virginmedia please help. Saying the password to login to my WiFi is incorrect. But it's not. Please help.

  • RGNJonathan Jonathan O'Keeffe (@RGNJonathan) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia How could it be a connection issue? It is fibre optic WiFi? Also the internet has been horrid the last couple of months just haven’t had time to call both my partner and I are front line so never off in the week

  • Sussexmerlins Nick Weston 🇪🇺 (@Sussexmerlins) reported from Hove, England

    @yorkshirerosie @virginmedia 64mb is ok but if you were getting 150mb then I expect you’d notice it. Good news is. It’s not your issue. It means that theres either a fault on the line, or there’s too many people using it at the same time. It’s called “contention”. Have you called your supplier?

  • 5waysRichard Richard Williams (@5waysRichard) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia hi, an engineer called out of the blue and claimed to be from Virgin Media working on my broadband. How can I tell if it’s not a scam? And if it’s not, how do I reach him? He gave the general customer service number

  • richardscovell 🏳️‍🌈 #SociallyDistancingRick 🏳️‍🌈 (@richardscovell) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    Just experienced #unethical behaviour from @virginmedia #coercing a customer, accept £20 and close a complaint or you can take it further and not accept the £20. Failure to be transparent and communicate effectively across all departments about charges #poorcustomerservice

  • HodgeGill Gill Hodge (@HodgeGill) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    I can only imagine those responsible for exam result standardising algorithms also work for #virginmedia as our box records Peppa Pig, bbc news x6 and random other channels (we have never watched) ad infinitum- hours of calls explain it's algorithms-seriously #algorithmicjustice

  • GaynorWingham Gaynor Wingham (@GaynorWingham) reported from Hove, England

    @virginmedia my internet and phone are not working. I can't phone you on 150. How can i contact you ? I live in Hove Brighton. Thank you

  • speedyhamburger Levan Clarke (@speedyhamburger) reported

    @TweetingTorres @virginmedia Fingers crossed, you’ll be able to get extenuating circumstances as I doubt you’ll be able to login to blackboard/turn-it-in. Just take a time stamp screenshot to cover yourself. That’s what I use to do. Presume internet will be down in library also 🙈

  • TweetingTorres TorresTheStreamingBull (@TweetingTorres) reported

    @speedyhamburger @virginmedia That’s the thing. Unfortunately ECs doesn’t cover internet outages which is a shame. I’ve had to let a lot of people down gently with that one recently (I work at the uni part time) gonna jump in the car now 🚗

  • JamieJones7991 Jamie Jones (@JamieJones7991) reported

    @fashiontrain @virginmedia What are you paying £80 for? Don't say your paying for the TV package 😔 and if it's so bad then leave

  • Thundergusset Phil White (@Thundergusset) reported

    @Will_Watson99 @virginmedia Where about are you? I'm in Stoke on Trent and mines gone down

  • Ali_hamilton74 💜ALI💜Hobi, Jooheon, MX, Ten & Taemin💜 (@Ali_hamilton74) reported

    @virginmedia the amount you charge me monthly for my broadband the least I expect in return is for it to actually work!!!! It wouldn’t be so bad if it was a one off occurrence, it’s literally down more than it’s working!!! Sort it out fgs 🙏🏻 ST8!!!

  • beeeston Beeston (@beeeston) reported

    @beth_emma_ @virginmedia Yeah, ST7 down too

  • mspence_chin Chin (@mspence_chin) reported

    @JamieJones7991 @Boothendeb @virginmedia Cause we’re all fastened in contracts! Some reason the cable connection in Stoke has been crap since new year

  • RickTams2 Rick Tams (@RickTams2) reported

    @virginmedia you’ve got an outage in Stoke on Trent. ST6, ST5 and ST3 are reporting no connectivity. You’re sites not showing that you know about it. Just a heads up 👍🏻

  • JamieJones7991 Jamie Jones (@JamieJones7991) reported

    @Boothendeb @virginmedia It seems like they're pushing an update to the hub 3/virgin routers. It's 11:30pm, pretty standard for a company to do network maintenance past 8pm. Also, how can you complain about something and stay with it? Move to another company...

  • AshrafulKhaled Ashraful (@AshrafulKhaled) reported

    Third time this week Virgin media went down I can’t stand this **** broadband
