@virginmedia £150 a month and the internet doesn’t even work. Amazing. Can’t wait to cancel that.

Who in their right mind schedules planned maintenance for a Monday morning and says it could go on until three pm? Oh yeah, @virginmedia - cracking service as always #workfromhome #muppets

Since I moved, the @virginmedia connection has been terrible. I’ve had an engineer out, had a booster put on, been told on numerous occasions to reboot the hub. This shouldn’t be needed. Their website is horrendous to use and largely involves linking to help guides 1/?

@virginmedia my internet has been suffering drop outs all day, now I have no working TV or internet. Being told it's my equipment when it never is, it's getting old that excuse. I will apparently have to wait 3 days for "an engineer to come out" - I can't I have to go to work 😤

Not very often I say good things about @virginmedia but todays service was excellent. Peter sorted out Wi-fi problem, wavered the set up fee, and arranged a new hub after lots of line tests. Thank you. (But will have no service for 6 days in all.🙄 Refund?)

@virginmedia please sort out the issues with the WiFi, Internet, broadband or whatever the term us these days. It is constantly slow or not working. Having to use mobile data is not an effective substitute for the service I am paying for.

@virginmedia still no broadband in bb3 area since Thurs & update now says tomorrow for fix. Shocking customer service, why can't you tell your customers what is happening instead of saying an engineer is on the way on the updates, at least then we would know what to expect

@virginmedia Yeah I've seen that already thanks, but it's not going to help the kids with accessing homework online. no I am not on a B account as of yet as I have only just started out in the last week 😑 but even if I was on a B account it would still be off so doesn't make any difference

@virginmedia a little unhappy that my Virgin Media services have been down from around 0730 this morning and it shows it's not going to be resolved till tomorrow afternoon. My postcode is TW19 7HY. A little unhappy as we've been unable to use services we pay for due to WiFi.

@virginmedia 4 times in 6 days that both broadband and Tv have been down for extended periods of time. What on earth is going on at Virgin media? Happy to take my £70+ a month, will be claiming compensation.

@virginmedia I urgently need help with virgin media services. Your “help” functions and automated phone lines make it impossible to speak to a human being.

@virginmedia Hi. Missed the cricket yesterday cos I couldn't sign into SkySports. Still the same today. Any estimated fix time as I think it might be a national issue and not just me.

@virginmedia your auth process has been broken since yesterday for the TV go app and logging in to @SkySports app. Clearly the process was not tested correctly or thoroughly before rolling out… well done! 👏🏾
