    Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia @grimegran You have been awful since the lockdown, yet I keep seeing these hopeful ads that just wind me up as anyone currently on you service knows that it is currently a joke. Yesterday was the first time since the lockdown started that I didnt lose connection at all or have router fail

  • Erinshore11
    Geoff Wright (@Erinshore11) reported from Nunthorpe, England

    @virginmedia Service back after a engineer visit last night, with another coming again today. After being with Virgin for years, the Tv and internet service these past 6 months has been poor, surely I should get a reduction on my bill.

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

    @virginmedia Have had this issue since I joined Virgin

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

    @virginmedia @grimegran #Stayconnected the biggest mystery to all Virgin media customers at the moment is how to stay connect to the router and the broadband! Stop promoting ads when your customer service is currently unable to accepts fault reports, 8.5 weeks and counting!

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

    @virginmedia @grimegran Im Going to keep replying to all this promoted ads until my internet is fixed, 8 weeks and counting! Terrible routers too, range is embarrassing to be honest and crashes under a pretty minimal load

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

    @brfcsdotcom More than good enough, if you were virgin media I could have guessed at the issue and the fix

  • Emfozz
    Em (@Emfozz) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia shock as broadband is down again. Yet you’ll still expect full payment from everyone.

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

    @JohnnyDude1983 @virginmedia The 3rd engineer to visit told me what I need to do and also told me that Virgin Media wont tell me or others what they can do or what the issue is

  • FatAbbott
    Ste Addison (@FatAbbott) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    @SamMorrison19 @virginmedia What kit did you have when it was intermittent, I've got same issues

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

    @virginmedia Is actually my whole street, I can sit and watch every bodies routers resetting and I assume they are having same speed issues as me

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

    @virginmedia Done, I'm now down about 360mbs from where my speed normally is, and just checked, yep can still crash my router using my laptop without trying

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

    @virginmedia Tried already and you actually made it worse, I put up with for half a day and changed everything back to the better (although still poor and not near what I'm paying for) performance yet you still ask me to buy your tech support service lmfao

  • 7Tazy
    Levi (@7Tazy) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @Zyqlon @virginmedia WiFi down stairs

  • Emfozz
    Em (@Emfozz) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia Ironic you try and blame customers. It’s your service not my house or my equipment or how I’m using it.

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

    @virginmedia I have, many many times and it always comes back to same, yet I'm down about 80mbs this morning, I've restarted my router today already because I switched my laptop on (everytime), and I can also crash my router with 1 device almost at will

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

    @virginmedia I dont mean to be rude but I can tell you now the option to text was not on the "contact us" page I visited on your website, but I see it's just a text option to the live chat anyway so this will be a waste of my time but texting now

  • Emfozz
    Em (@Emfozz) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia I’m not going to waste time in doing that, I’ve worked in telecommunications, I know how your process works, I also know you’ll try and pass the book to customers before taking blame because the tiniest speck of dust can effect my WiFi signal. So it’s fine.

    @virginmedia can you not save your internet outrages for mid week ffs? I hate being a customer.

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

    @virginmedia need help

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

    @virginmedia @bethanymiah_ I'll save you both some time there and tell you now that you will be able to make no difference whatsoever, the hubs have always been awful and it seems they have got worse since lockdown, maybe they can catch Covid too

    Chris Green (@chrisgreen) reported

    It is now 12 days since I ported my landline to @virginmedia and they screwed it up, leaving us without a working landline phone. They have done nothing to fix it and still won't give us any updates or info, despite hours on the phone chasing them - utter joke! Please retweet!

  • Gemmort
    Gemma morton (@Gemmort) reported

    @virginmedia I want to set up an account on the app but it wants a customer number and location number but I was never sent these please help thanks

  • BrianCarroll83
    Brian Carroll (@BrianCarroll83) reported

    @virginmedia why can’t I communicate with anyone to formally cancel my contract. No e-mail option. Only phone call option (waiting 30minutes so far)

  • GeeDubSevenNine
    GeeDub (@GeeDubSevenNine) reported

    @virginmedia Not listed no but when I go through and select broadband to test the hub it says there is an issue

  • daisy1234658
    lily.bridgehouse.xx (@daisy1234658) reported

    @virginmedia your customer service line is ridiculous no one can get in contact with you regarding any issues they have and when they finally do they get cut off. As a heavily pregnant woman you have caused me nothing but stress these last couple of months it’s ridiculous!

  • RickyMoore1983
    Ricky Moore (@RickyMoore1983) reported

    @virginmedia Hi Folks. Any update on this please? Os the mast fixed? The service status page is not giving enough detail & im getting conflicting information from the support desk. Im at the point of cancelling my contract.

  • yido23sc
    Sean Collins (@yido23sc) reported

    @virginmedia new customer left without Internet for a whole week. Calls ignored and absolutely no update of when this will be resolved. Unable to work from home! Appalling experience and wish we'd never moved to virgin media!!
