  • Deborahbham Deborah Davidson 🕷 (@Deborahbham) reported from Leicestershire, England

    1. @richardbranson cannot tell you how incensed I am at the poor service I have had since signing up to @virginmedia - no one can help me sort out getting a good and consistent internet signal across the whole house (which @bt_uk could) - amazed how the new technology is worse.

  • cookwithanisa Anisa (@cookwithanisa) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia Thanks but I did option 4 "make changes" then next was only 4 options. 4th option was "thinking of leaving" which I selected, but lines are very busy apparently. It would have been nice for the person dealing with my complaint to give me a direct number to resolve quickly.

  • alisonllove1 Alison Love (@alisonllove1) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @McGiff @virginmedia Omg I have the same problem absolutley rubbish I need to look for a new provider x

  • MatthewWalne Matthew Walne (@MatthewWalne) reported from Mountsorrel, England

    @virginmedia Often get “internet unavailable” and phone line hasn’t worked since we moved over from Sky. Fair to say unless it gets sorted soon I will be going back to Sky snd getting a refund for having no working phoneline. Been a terrible experience.

  • jonmac36 jon (@jonmac36) reported from Thurmaston, England

    @virginmedia my 3G is 100 times better than your crap WiFi

  • ashleyYNWA ashley bennett (@ashleyYNWA) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia I was told to message my complaint on here

  • Westyafcm ✌🏻 Ŵęśtŷ™⚽️🍺🎼❌ (@Westyafcm) reported from Hinckley, England

    @virginmedia hi, WiFi issues in LE10, keeps dropping out for last 2-3 days.

  • corfu1957 Paul Roberts (@corfu1957) reported from Leicestershire, England

    So now I am on the phone to the help line and the waiting starts and as usual virgin media fail again

  • jonnyriall Jonathon Riall (@jonnyriall) reported from Shepshed, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for the reply. On both occasions there's apparently been no issues, and none shown again this morning. It's more the fact that even though it happened twice in a week, and having waited on hold for 30min each time, I just get told to call back if it happens again.

  • MonkeyJuggleDX2 アンドルー (@MonkeyJuggleDX2) reported from Loughborough, England

    @SkyHelpTeam We've had technicians out multiple times and it's made no difference. We NEVER had any issues when we had @virginmedia!

  • smarts35 Martine kotecha (@smarts35) reported from Braunstone, England

    @virginmedia I know all the protocols!!! I need what I pay you for I bet @richardbranson doesn't have this problem in the upstairs of his house!!!!!

  • MatthewWalne Matthew Walne (@MatthewWalne) reported from Mountsorrel, England

    @virginmedia I don’t know what the issue is but trying to work from home without Broadband that is supposed to be better than Sky isn’t helpful. No one seems bothered about the phone line either!

  • MatthewWalne Matthew Walne (@MatthewWalne) reported from Mountsorrel, England

    @virginmedia I will tomorrow if I get time. Fed up with constantly interrupted internet and a phone line that has never worked!

  • corfu1957 Paul Roberts (@corfu1957) reported from Leicestershire, England

    50 mins talking to an engineer who then couldn't connect the new box and now have to have an engineer come out to sort it @virginmedia you need to get your customer service sorted

  • MatthewWalne Matthew Walne (@MatthewWalne) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia I’ve tried but can never get through on the phone. Done a few web chats though

  • jonnyriall Jonathon Riall (@jonnyriall) reported from Shepshed, England

    @virginmedia It doesn't feel like paying £50+ a month for no fancy services (basic TV and broadband) this is great customer service.

  • bbi787 Kevin Mc (@bbi787) reported from Hinckley, England

    @virginmedia Yes. Have had several conversations with them starting many months ago. Had new hub, engineer visit etc though problems persist. Didn't stop you raising prices for a service not delivered. I don't think there's a problem with the hardware, i think it may be too much local demand.

  • CharlesinRome Charles Collins (@CharlesinRome) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia The website says it's fine. When I called later, though, it said they were working on a problem and would text an update. That was 12 hours ago

  • itslakeyyy Kieran Lake (@itslakeyyy) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia No issues reported. A reboot of the hub seems to do the trick however it’s an inconvenience doing that 4-5 times a day.

  • alisonllove1 Alison Love (@alisonllove1) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @simonrim @virginmedia I had good service chatting via Twitter but elsewhere absolutley useless

    @virginmedia broadband has been down the entire day?? How long does it take for you to get an engineer working on it?? Ridiculous service.

  • reddropshrty madd$ (@reddropshrty) reported

    @virginmedia pls sort ur WiFi out we r paying too much for it to be this bad

  • tpuddle Conor O'Neill 💚 💙 (@tpuddle) reported

    Hello @virginmedia. Are there known problems showing TV in the Bristol area? Nothing on your status page. BBC4 (channel 107) is only showing a pixellated mess. All other channels seem fine. I have rebooted Tivo box, etc.

  • xXxXPuNKDXxXx 🇬🇧 PuNKD Steven 🇬🇧 #LuciferNetflix (@xXxXPuNKDXxXx) reported

    @virginmedia flashing base light on the one I changed... so I phoned up just now because it's clearly just a hub issue because the lights changed when I changed them over but they straight up refuse to register the hub to my account you sent me it ages ago, so i don't see why you can't

  • Ethanmayer1 Ethan mayer (@Ethanmayer1) reported

    @virginmedia Can you give me a free upgrade your upload speed is too slow. It's going to take me a month to upload all my data to google drive.

  • xXxXPuNKDXxXx 🇬🇧 PuNKD Steven 🇬🇧 #LuciferNetflix (@xXxXPuNKDXxXx) reported

    @virginmedia You're literally creating an issue where there doesn't need to be one! All you need to do is register the hub.. if it works, you cancel the engineer... if it doesn't, the engineer still comes and checks the new hub and not the old one Pretty simple **** tbh.

  • FerranteM_No Marianna Ferrante (@FerranteM_No) reported

    @virginmedia connection has just become super slow (1/10 of the nominal speed). I don't seem to be able to report the issue via the app.

  • LOL_VO LOL_VO (@LOL_VO) reported

    @virginmedia Hi. We have 2 Virgin Mobile phone contracts. Both suffering from the same issue. When we receive calls we can't hear the other line. Then have to make a second call and the line works. Both using different phones and happens from different contacts. Any known issues?

  • dubalco dubalco (@dubalco) reported

    Whats up with virgin media everything down

  • macleaver7 Michael Cleaver (@macleaver7) reported

    @virginmedia Again your piece of junk you call a router goes offline again!!!! This should not be happening when we pay good money for a service. Your service is very unreliable!! Frustrating
