  • goneinsixtysecs Simon (@goneinsixtysecs) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia what has happened with the service in ne33 4hn area as I have no phone line no internet and no tv service

  • dannyrobbo82 Danny Robinson (@dannyrobbo82) reported from Wallsend, England

    @virginmedia understand that like every other business that you’re short staffed with the pandemic, but the speed of internet recently has been shocking. Website is useless, community help is useless. Don’t want to ring up, yet they’re happy to still take my money every month.

  • justraffers helen rafferty 🌹 (@justraffers) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia every month I have the same issue. Go to pay bill and despite having Google auto password (which works on every other thing I log in) it says my log in is wrong and I have to reset it EVERY MONTH!! EVERY MONTH!! IT'S RIDICULOUS

  • JonBlanchett Jon Blanchett (@JonBlanchett) reported

    Throughout the last year I've had to pay more money to virginmedia for an upgraded broadband which is meant to be faster meant to be better tbh it's an absolute piss take,the service is actually worse,@virginmedia sort it out ffs otherwise I'm going back to @skytv and @bt

  • leah05733909 L (@leah05733909) reported

    @virginmedia The first man on the phone said he will send me a engineer out then the 2nd woman has said she can’t send one out and got to wait 3 days for the spanner, is this a piss take?!!! That’s 6 days of me not working unpaid!!!!! Something needs to be done. I ain’t happy

  • Pug50 Abe T. Alien (@Pug50) reported

    Now, time to wonder how long it will take for @virginmedia to respond to my recorded delivery request in writing to cancel ...

  • PaulHull2 Paul Hull (@PaulHull2) reported

    @StaBByJoLtZz @virginmedia Their is slow connection in London, Manchester and outer areas. Rang them and they said nothing they can do and would be fixed tomorrow....

  • SirMrRealityMan Liam B (@SirMrRealityMan) reported

    @virginmedia I don’t know if it has a pinhole reset. How would that solve a connection issue if an “on off” reset or “turn it off, wait 30 seconds, go back on” reset or a “power reset” doesn’t help?

  • leah05733909 L (@leah05733909) reported

    @virginmedia Use are ******* useless. **** USE

  • JRTurnerPhoto Jake Turner (@JRTurnerPhoto) reported

    @JohnChilver @virginmedia It’s not a booster issue as it worked fine a few weeks ago. I’m certain it’s going to be the hub.

  • KateMirzayantz Katie Holland (@KateMirzayantz) reported

    @virginmedia Installation was a complete ***** up. Trying to cancel. What a nightmare

  • craigwatson88 Craig Watson (@craigwatson88) reported

    @virginmedia Ok will do. I reset the router last night and it seems better today , I just think the router is slow switching

  • jos6005 Jos - Secondary School Teacher (@jos6005) reported

    @virginmedia So how are you justifying a price increase to my non existent service? How much compensation for 1 day without service?
