  • ZakFarren Zak (@ZakFarren) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia I don't have any direct wired connection but my TP link powerline connection seems to be working better now with speeds and gameplay. However, I imagine once high load resumes in the evening it will be terrible again. Feels like we're being heavily throttled during the evening

  • Jeanelleuk Jeanelle de Gruchy (@Jeanelleuk) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia you promised me Broadband setup yesterday, you promised me @YodelOnline would contact me & deliver yesterday. Nothing. No way to check why or when. Poor customer service. Apologies to colleagues working with me to contain #COVID for my continuing connection issue...

  • hoopy_1888 Patrick Higgins (@hoopy_1888) reported

    @virginmedia Tried calling back again, over 1 hour to be cut off again. Service is diabolical. No I haven't had anyone call me back. Impossible to speak with anyone. I've gave up.

  • mrgscourier SmithersJones (@mrgscourier) reported

    @virginmedia after sneakily increasing our broadband package from £38, as agreed, to £62 you’ve now disconnected us.Terrible customer service. Will not be paying you any more and will take our custom to BT or Sky at a more reasonable cost.

  • PoojaAr32762875 Pooja Arora (@PoojaAr32762875) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia there are no messages from Zach. Has he not started his shift. Just on whatsapp with Ranjitha who is supposed to be a Manager. She hung up on the chat without sorting out the issue. I am furious and having enough of this now!!!!!

  • TwitchWiz Wiz n Liz Twitch (@TwitchWiz) reported

    @virginmedia I have had to ring again and despite being told I had cleared the required amount to get my service back and they said that I needed to pay more! Also the lady i spoke to this morning said my service was back but it was not I am not a happy with this with false information!

  • grahamphawkins Graham Hawkins (@grahamphawkins) reported

    @virginmedia Well I still have WiFi so that’s not going to help, just no Ethernet I’ve rebooted several times. But I can see on my switch it doesn’t look right and on a reboot it connects for a few minutes but I cannot get out to the web then goes and that’s probably down dns/gateway problem.

  • kay_8686 deb58 (@kay_8686) reported

    @virginmedia your website says there doesn’t seem to be a problem in my area yet my tv has just switched itself off and when says it’s restarting is asking me to connect my box to the tv with the Ethernet cable. It’s all connected and not been an issue since it turned itself off!

  • MartinTheTopRed ⓂⒶⓇⓉⒾⓃ ⓉⒽⒺ ⓉⓄⓅ ⓇⒺⒹ ⒷⒶⓈⓉⒶⓇⒹ (@MartinTheTopRed) reported

    @rogerpsan @virginmedia Sounds like you got a good one there, we have them for our internet but they made a right mess when we tried to take TV services with them, as I am disabled I needed an engineer visit who never came but they happily carried on charging me and telling me I had TV with them.

  • craftymuvva 😈👑💙 𝙃𝙍𝙃 𝘾𝙧𝙖𝙛𝙩𝙮 𝙈𝙪𝙫𝙫𝙖 💙👑😇 (@craftymuvva) reported

    Hello? Anyone at @virginmedia? Anyone? Anyone at all? Any service being offered to customers by any sort of customer service? Now 17 hours in and I’m still at the stage of being asked my details. Also told you have no managers today. I want to speak to one.

  • LSTANK1979 Luke simpson (@LSTANK1979) reported

    @virginmedia Still no services!! Customer service is a joke!! Be waiting from 3rd of March!!
