  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia No, just continue to ignore me as they have no idea how to fix it

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia Got the t-shirt, when I last went through it the resolution was for me to leave and not pay my last bill and see you court which was really helpful

  • MillingtonJulia julia millington (@MillingtonJulia) reported from Marske-by-the-Sea, England

    @virginmedia please can you confirm is there a wifi connection problem in the TS11 area?

  • ryderboy24 Paul Ryder (@ryderboy24) reported from Hart, England

    @virginmedia any reason why my broadband is so slow and my bill is so expensive

  • andy_wilmot Andy Wilmot (@andy_wilmot) reported from Hartlepool, England

    £40+ a month for WiFi which cuts in and out. Just another day for a @virginmedia customer 🤬😡

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia Rebooting does nothing and service status page says nothing and if it was to do with that it would mean you owe me 5 years worth of credit notes

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia You won't process it as I am not willing to pay for 30 days of no Internet as the hub has almost zero range even if my line issues are resolved

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia I wouldn't recommend your media connect app its awful, the booster you sent out does exactly zero, as for blackspots around the house that would be anywhere in the house more than 1.5m from the hub, all the software in the world won't polish the turn you call a superhub

  • lenJunier *** Junier (@lenJunier) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia tried to login to "myvirginmedia" numerous times Forgot password Tried go through reset 6 times Hopeless

  • Johnsonator85 Marc J (@Johnsonator85) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia It doesn’t matter what day or what time I try to call I get the same problem!

  • PeteYourDoom Peter 🐈🎸🕹️ (@PeteYourDoom) reported from Hartlepool, England

    Yay, virgin media outage has stopped and been fixed

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia Mainly wireless but wired issues too

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia Can you improve the stability of your broadband and make massive improvements to your customer services (like actually introduce some sort of customer service)?

  • MrTaylorM BoroMike (@MrTaylorM) reported from New Marske, England

    Looks like #virginmedia is down again in New Marske. If it’s preventative maintenance they should tell us.

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia They can't help either, the real issue, lets be honest, is the fact nobody at Virgin will admit their equipment is awful and not really fit for purpose, the least super thing ever is the superhub 3.0

  • smarshallphoto ScottPhoto (@smarshallphoto) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @gracedavies I had a dream that I Met a Boy Online was used by Virgin Media in a TV advert, and you got paid a ****-ton of money. Does that count?

  • DanielHill21 Daniel Hill (@DanielHill21) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia So why do you not have a chat system? I work in a similar industry and we are able to help our customer through chat, phone, online, social media it’s crazy a company of the size of virgin media can’t accommodate us. Not having a go at you I’m just disappointed in the system

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia I've done this many times previously and does nothing, the most recent request to switch it from modem mode is so you would process my complaint with ofcom which in turn means I'm without WiFi for 30 days unless standing on the "superhub"

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia It's a waste of time tbh, all they do is insist I take the hub out of modem mode and when they do eventually agree you are rubbish and put me through to line faults they either just hang up or the battery on my phone dies

  • rachsclarke rachel (@rachsclarke) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia how can I cancel my contract? Unable to get through via phone.

  • ArsenalRadar ArsenalRadar (@ArsenalRadar) reported

    Call 2, it's 8am-1pm and a promise of a call back. Nothing. 3rd call, another call back promised. Why is your customer service a pile of 🤬🤬 #Virginmedia #Virgin

  • edengem Eden Gem (@edengem) reported

    @virginmedia Have done already Khoros; I’ll change password too (but to note, this is a platform glitch so will happen again; it apparently not a security issue). Hope when I call again, we can go thru same procedure from my file notes and expedite getting emails back.

  • Rocket_Dog85 ThinkMoreTypeLess (@Rocket_Dog85) reported

    @virginmedia I will, if I don't burn through all my mobile data, since the WiFi is still terrible

  • BendyBill NDBILL. Getting angrier by the day. (@BendyBill) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks. @virginmedia we waited in all day for our new TiVo box but it didn’t arrive. More rubbish customer service from you. More improvement needed?

  • ACameronhollyer Alex Cameron-Hollyer (@ACameronhollyer) reported

    @virginmedia Forget prize draws And focus on delivering sustained service please. Rubbish service

  • PintsUTD Pints With Laing (@PintsUTD) reported

    Virgin Media down again. Internet and TV. Shithouses @virginmedia @richardbranson

  • exeus Andy Brick (@exeus) reported

    @virginmedia - Upgrade to 1gig and get only 350Mbps. Contact support told to wait 72hrs. Wait 96h @ steady 350Mbps. Speak to support tonight, briefly get 800, then as soon as I am off the phone, 350 again. Tell me, does this actually work? I think not.

  • AndyOsira Andy Osira 💙 (@AndyOsira) reported

    @virginmedia Not yet- usually the test app finds an issue and directs you to a page if it sees a fault

  • ItsByrney Byrney (@ItsByrney) reported

    @virginmedia new tv and WiFi installed on Friday. TV still not working. On the phone for 50 minutes and the lady is saying an engineer needs to come back. Surely not!!

  • leoroberts leoroberts (@leoroberts) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, you were going to look into this - there are still no subtitles on BBC iPlayer (though I get them on programmes I record - just not catch up). As someone with hearing loss, I can’t watch some programmes. Please help. Thanks.
