@chloemphoto @virginmedia If it connects to other WiFi networks from the same source ie @virginmedia then the problem is within your router itself and not any device connected to it. Your router is faulty and needs replacing. You said yourself that the router is faulty and goes offline if even moved.

@virginmedia Need to cancel my new order. It wasn’t done correctly and given the total lack of being able to contact you I have lost confidence in VM. Cannot contact anyone to cancel though, what a nightmare. Just taking too much of my time to make switching worthwhile. #painful

@virginmedia The Wi-fi is rubbish, slow and crap service up stairs. Often I have to connect to extenders. It’s a two story average house. Your routers are rubbish. The older ones were much better!!

@virginmedia I would happily self serve online, via a browser or app, as you incessantly encourage me to do, but when the page says “oops something went wrong, we’re unable to change your package online”, its very frustrating. @O2 will help you soon!

@virginmedia 🙄 isn’t that just a lazy way of doing tech support. When I worked for you going back a few years, we were very customer focused!!

@virginmedia I’ve been a loyal customer for 22 years & reviewing all my package and find out that if I had been a new customer I can get the same package for 30% cheaper can you explain this please ? Or get somebody to contact me doesn’t sound like good customer care to me

@chloemphoto @virginmedia The laptop also works off mobile data sharing too so connectivity issues are good. Please sort out this mess because the router is needed to be working properly for laptop work to be done at home. Stop all this buck passing from one dept to another and help these guys PLEASE.

@chloemphoto @virginmedia I'm a customer of yours 👍 and I can categorically prove that the laptop is 100% working correctly using 'my' Virgin Media WiFi connection with no issues. There's an issue with @chloemphoto's router which isn't getting resolved and the easiest solution is to replace it asap.

@chloemphoto @virginmedia Even if the ethernet works, the WiFi issues are still there and you need it sorting. It's in the @virginmedia contract to ensure all equipment is working and functioning as it should. Faulty equipment should be replaced and remember, you're paying for the service.

@virginmedia Tried Virgin Community. Virgin rep encouraged me to take up tech package at a price. After spending 6hrs yesterday and 2hrs the day before, I am still in the same situation! This not a good service with your so-called experts!!!

@virginmedia is there any chance of your complaint team getting the finger out and contacting me. The broadband Isaias I have is shocking and a joke when trying to homeschool. Either get someone on the blower or I start emailing and annoying your CEO as that might be the only way

Robbie Montgomery
(@montgomery_rj) reported
@virginmedia Yes, after more than three hours on the phone, me raising a complaint and calling a number of times to chase. However, after a further two hours on the phone this morning you are now saying my virgin mobile account might be cancelled because of the delay in your installation...

@virginmedia Total Loss of Service was reported on Friday. And the agent tells of ongoing problems since 30th December! How long does it take for you to update your service status! 3 hours of call waits. Non responsive online chat. Tech appointment in 1 week! Tell us what the issue is please!

@virginmedia our internet keeps dropping out but says no issues in our area & there doesn't seem to be anywhere to report faults when you say all is working fine. Have tried all the usual tricks to get it working.
