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

  • coachdancad Dan Cad (@coachdancad) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I rebooted it yesterday and a number of times previously. I’m now in receipt of a Cat. 6 Ethernet cable which has improved wired speeds - I’d suggest these should come as standard - but wireless speeds are still slow and unreliable.

  • Mark29HT Mark Danylczuk (@Mark29HT) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia Delivery driver who came to drop off packaging to return your equipment was very rude indeed. Aggressively banged on my door with the packaging and so abrupt. Appalling.

  • natherton90 Neil Atherton™ (@natherton90) reported from Rainhill, England

    @virginmedia No. Just the Sky Sports SD channels, there picture quality is terrible.

  • dbrindle92 David Brindle (@dbrindle92) reported from Liverpool, England

    @AdamWether @virginmedia @O2 For what you pay them you should be able to get signal on the moon

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

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

  • 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

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

    @Aeroson_ Well said mate, but getting back to virgin media being crap 🤣🤣🤣

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

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

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

    @virginmedia It is not the speed that is the problem, it is the router that is the problem, it is garbage it lags like mad every game is trash I probably played 1 game last night I just back out of them all the time.

  • DCBlue11 Dave Carson (@DCBlue11) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I'm sorry I disagree it's @virginmedia broadband not Samsung broadband! So it is a @virginmedia issue .I don't pay Samsung for my Wi-Fi.

  • 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.

  • lestervose ann (@lestervose) reported from Haydock, England

    @virginmedia I have no internet connection WA11, checked area status (through mobile data 😏 thankfully can rely on 3 mobile) which reports no issues. Well there is...as per usual. Please help

  • 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.

  • 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🖕

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

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

  • 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.

  • GregoryEvans Gregory Evans (@GregoryEvans) reported

    @virginmedia I've got an engineer coming Friday. To do this I had to make a complaint (and it took over 12 hours). Surely it should be easier than that.

  • lmwhu lmwhu (@lmwhu) reported

    @virginmedia Would have been good customer service If someone had accepted my request to call me on the number you have on file. But no, I now have to sit in a queue for lord know how long. This all started at 10.33 this morning

  • thewascal wascal (@thewascal) reported

    @virginmedia No trace of a call from 2+ wk ago. Was told “it takes a week for complaints to appear online”. The guy then refunded £20 and never logged the complaint. Attempted to complete one online and at the end it gave a complaint reference of ‘###’, and nothing was saved in ‘my cases’.

  • ellsafc69 ellsafc69 (@ellsafc69) reported

    Why is it so hard to find my ******* customer number to view my mortgage on my phone. The useless ******* haven’t provided me with a customer number and been on the phone for 40 mins still no answer . Don’t get a mortgage with virgin #virginmedia

  • PeterDo19421129 Peter Dowsett (@PeterDo19421129) reported

    @libertyglobal @VMO2News To the parent company and Virgin media. I have received an email from virgin media regarding my Father's account with you. And noticed you charge him for fibre broadband which he has never had. The counts as fraud in my book. Will speak to ofcom now.

  • TimHole Tim Hole (@TimHole) reported

    @virginmedia Well yes I can't receive any sms so something is stopping it. I can try on another handset tonight but if I lost the ability to receive calls at the same time it would suggest its an issue with the sim or the account or somehow blocked rather than the handset, no?

  • dcfc1968 Martyn Page (@dcfc1968) reported

    @virginmedia @vmbusiness No its not..... I say again I have a £70+ bill from my old residential address..... so can I log a complaint with you now?

  • Nataleela77 Natalie Whoodunit (@Nataleela77) reported

    @virginmedia We know that the only solution is to get a new box as we have had it ‘fixed’ many times over the past two years and the box is clearly inadequate to cope with the amount of residents using it.

  • Peterbartle6 Peterbartle (@Peterbartle6) reported

    @DawnPet76880676 ......virgin media email is down ....tues 20th

  • StokingCheyne Cheyne Stoking (@StokingCheyne) reported

    @virginmedia @Nataleela77 I look forward to a couple of days service before it goes down again.
