    Anyone else experiencing terrible broadband with @virginmedia right now? Getting into a second week now... 🤷

  • tonymccaffery
    Tony McCaffery (he/they) (@tonymccaffery) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    Hey @virginmedia, can you help please? I’ve never plugged a landline phone to my router since becoming a customer. (I never needed one til now). So I just took the voip/landline adapter out the box and it’s broken. How do I get a new one so that I can plug in a landline? Thanks.

  • ChristianBunga7
    bristian cungay (@ChristianBunga7) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @virginmedia Yeah, I’ve already done this. I had a guy sent out to take a look and he just left without fixing it. Mind I can’t use most of these support things cause I was never sent my customer number or contract information. This does also make it so I’m unable to cancel my contract @Ofcom

  • reid2131
    Craig Reid (@reid2131) reported from Larkhall, Scotland

    @virginmedia First of all, they said it would take 24 hours, then they said it would be working for 8am. Then a fault in the area, then there’s a delay in getting a test signal to the router. I’d just like the full functioning broadband I was sold.

  • seawxy
    rach ✨ (@seawxy) reported from Motherwell, Scotland

    @virginmedia no, i’ve not received a resolution. someone contacted me regarding the complaint, then when i responded, they have just ignored it. the complaint is regarding incorrect billing and poor customer service.

  • jamboross
    Ross R MacLean (@jamboross) reported from East Kilbride, Scotland

    @virginmedia As a mark of respect,have you given us all the day off from the internet? Nothing working again!!! Getting pretty fed up with this, and yes I've checked your service online.

  • nuttynanaannie
    Anne Marie McPhee (@nuttynanaannie) reported from Motherwell, Scotland

    @virginmedia Hi, thank you for replying. I can't see where to register. I did another service check and it says an intermittent service fault is affecting my area. But gives no guidance/option to register for loss of service. Guidance please.

    Alexander Adair 🌙 (@AlexxAdair) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @virginmedia It wont even let me run a speed test. When I go to status check it says no problem found but when I call I says intermittent issues??

  • DavidMcGill7
    David McGill (@DavidMcGill7) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @virginmedia TV & Internet was down for 4 days last week now it’s all off again & won’t be fixed until tomorrow night at the earliest, a dreadful service 🤬

  • spongebath63
    Willem_Wikkelspies (@spongebath63) reported from Dennistoun, Scotland

    @virginmedia I'm trying to contact the customer care number but I'm told thar calls are not being connected to that number (789) I'm then told to call 789 to speak to a team member...

  • CrawfordMilne
    Crawford Milne (@CrawfordMilne) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    So @virginmedia won't send out a technician because the signal coming into my house is fine - even though I keep telling them it's a problem with the WiFi from the router. I was offered a technician at a cost of £25 !! Absolutely disgraceful customer 'service'.

    @virginmedia absolute joke , internet not working again

  • ironside_design

    @virginmedia Hub3.0 no problems with connection and had a few other Virgin customers say the same about connections dropping out

  • reid2131
    Craig Reid (@reid2131) reported from Larkhall, Scotland

    @virginmedia I had a quick start broadband kit sent out. I fitted it all. No broadband, despite 6 calls to your “help” line. Been told a different fault each call. Can this be looked into?

  • donmackeen
    don mackeen (@donmackeen) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @virginmedia The service checker tells me either nothing, or - as in the screenshot - something completely contradictory. There is no way to communicate with anyone and yet, strangely enough, you still charge me for a service which only works intermittently.

  • PotatoAimZero2
    Respawn Doesn't Respond (@PotatoAimZero2) reported from East Kilbride, Scotland

    @virginmedia Connection keeps cutting every 45 or so minutes. Receiving 0 to no network what so ever at any giving time. "Unstable network". Before you asked yes the router has been reset and tested multiple times. Turned off and on and yet still the same issue.

    Sarah Sanders💙 (@SarahSanders58) reported

    @IainSankey @virginmedia They just offered me savings of over £50 a month without even asking. Still need a landline because mobile reception here is awful. Got Sky Sports, Sky Cinema, HBO, Netflix so all set to not move from the sofa when it actually starts raining.

    @bmstewart2004 The modern equivalent of **** Turpin,I've successfully switched to Virgin Media after 20 yrs with Sky who demonstrated less than zero customer retention acumen F*ck em.

  • glentfc27
    Neil Skivington (@glentfc27) reported

    @virginmedia Any idea when the ongoing issues with the Sky Sports X button are going to be resolved. It's been going on quite a while now.

  • SamanthaAsumadu
    Samantha Asumadu (@SamanthaAsumadu) reported

    You're stronger than me. I got Virgin media down to £18 when I threatened to leave. I took their offer. and now it's gone up to £24 quid 2 years later and no doubt will go up again next year 😞

    Rapidlygreying (@rapidlygreying) reported

    @virginmedia @Smallworth_xx This came up last weekend... how hasnt it been sorted in time between? How wasnt it sorted during the summer if its an issue? Why do we pay so much money for terrible service

  • JohnMoo99882213
    John Moore (@JohnMoo99882213) reported

    @bmstewart2004 This is exactly why I cancelled my Virgin Media subscription and moved to BT over 5 years ago. My bill went down from over £100 a month to £42 a month. When my contract is up for renewal I make contact and negotiate a deal. I am now paying £39 a month for broadband & TV package.

    @virginmedia There’s no point in me DM because you won’t change it just for me however I hope you take notice of the number of customers raising this as an issue, I would ask you to consider elderly folks like myself with joint and mobility issues who don’t wish to keep pressing the remote
