  • pBullox Paul Bullock (@pBullox) reported from Thatcham, England

    @virginmedia No real explanation, just he can’t do it today. I was surprised he already knew of the problem but didn’t stop his installer coming. I spoke to lots of folks today when I called, no one could give me an idea.

  • Hello_HWC The HWC (@Hello_HWC) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia Slow speed Constantly dropping service Not able to connect devices, TV and computers To be fair your engineer was the best bit! The rest was an absolute shambles. It’s all in a complaint I have through on your website to the resolution team...

  • SparkleEyedGirl Nicola (@SparkleEyedGirl) reported from Newbury, England

    @virginmedia I have a security issue with my router, I cannot login in or change password as somebody else is logged in. I have tried repeatedly over the last few days to contact you. We have 2 vulnerable adults in the house and need to sort this ASAP!

  • pBullox Paul Bullock (@pBullox) reported from Thatcham, England

    @virginmedia moved house today supposed to have been reconnected. You have a problem, known about for days but arrive and say not today mate! I gotta go to Vodafone now for data. After 20 years, it’s like my wife left me...

  • stuartwhiley1 stuart whiley (@stuartwhiley1) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia Would you please give me a phone number so that I can talk to a human being about a technical problem rather than wasting my life listening to a automated telephone

  • draloksharma74 Alok Sharma (@draloksharma74) reported from Oakley, England

    @virginmedia we are without internet now for over a day. No text updates despite registering what can be done about such poor service

  • lissaburns Melissa Burns (@lissaburns) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia down in #Basingstoke RG21 - call to find out its out between 10am and 3pm due to network improvements. Surely such a significant outage he should come with prior warning - how to damage #CX ! Could have been a great #CX if communicated well...

  • drewy__ Jez (@drewy__) reported from Whitchurch, England

    @virginmedia I’m trying to contact via calling the number but I can’t get through as I’m a new customer wanting to join!

  • Gazimoff Gareth “Gazimoff” Harmer (@Gazimoff) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia That’s right. We’d moved house and we’re hoping to keep you with us, but there’s been over a month of delays (issues with current cable). I need it for work, so I’ve been forced to cancel and organise alternatives.

  • pBullox Paul Bullock (@pBullox) reported from Thatcham, England

    @virginmedia moved house today, supposed to have been reconnected but you have a problem you knew about for days. Arrive and tell me not today mate! I’ve gotta go get data from #Vodafone now. After 20 years, it’s like my wife leaving.

  • Johnty14 John Richards (@Johnty14) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia I’m having issues with my broadband starting & stopping every 10 mins or so, packet loss too. I’m in the RG21 area but the website says no known issues!

  • i96jms Jane (@i96jms) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia If you forgot your pin your bank would send a replacement through the post. Please arrange for a way to cancel this account that does not cause further distress.

  • Simmba88 Mechelle Penny (@Simmba88) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @ceryswebb @virginmedia Their customer service is the absolute worst

  • Johnty14 John Richards (@Johnty14) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia next to useless support over the last 2 days trying to explain to your technical department what packet loss is! In the 40 mins it takes, the packet loss and speed has gone back to normal.

  • oddballwoofwoof J Calvert (@oddballwoofwoof) reported

    Hi @virginmedia. Yes I do indeed know my contract is coming to an end. Yes I know I could get a better deal. I've been aware of it for several weeks. Do you realise that the best way to keep me as a customer would be to not barrage me with sale calls every ******* day?

  • SteelCity_ENT Mr Miran Pankhania (@SteelCity_ENT) reported

    @Ofcom @virginmedia @Plusnet Thanks. I have submitted an advisory form to make a formal log of my issue. I will have this investigated further if it is not resolved with a view to pursuing an independent decision from either of the bodies mentioned.

  • MatKlik Mat Klik (@MatKlik) reported

    @virginmedia Um this doesn’t sound like the solution to my issue. If I do this the connection to quite a few of my devices will die as the router has been renamed from the default.

  • MylesBurrell MJB 💉💉 (@MylesBurrell) reported

    Was wondering why my wifi wasn’t working then I remembered I’m a Virgin Media customer

  • _Anoshaaa Noosh (@_Anoshaaa) reported

    Virgin media is the worst ******* broadband I've ever had

  • FrostArron Barron Frost (@FrostArron) reported

    @virginmedia My broadband has been on and off for a few days, and today is hard down. I've called and I get an automated messaged telling me there is a known issue affecting BB11, when will this be fixed?

  • Splodgee1 Splodge (@Splodgee1) reported

    For the love of all things good @virginmedia a broadband outage every week for the last 2months is not on! Please sort it out. Also please answer your damn phones! #virginmediadown

  • EnrichMarketing Jo Rich (@EnrichMarketing) reported

    @virginmedia 12pm is good. I'll take anything since I can't call Customer Services because the system is flawed and won't accept my call unless I pay the bill which is incorrect due to Virgin Media making a mistake. I don't know how you're not yet being investigated by @financialombuds

  • tjc_101 T 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺 (@tjc_101) reported

    So... it would seem @CNN will no longer be available on @VirginMedia (UK) after the 31st of August. Anyone know why? That really sucks. CNN are one of the very best out there.

  • tizstu Stu Ballam (@tizstu) reported

    @OST_R6 @bt_uk Unfortunately I can’t get Virgin Media in my area to bypass Openreach altogether. When things like SpaceX starlink comes down in price Openreach will be so far behind they will wish they actually rolled out fibre.
