@virginmedia is broadband services down. My internet has been intermittent for the last week. Reset router 3 times today and still not working properly. Download speed is 1mb. Usually 380 mb

@virginmedia Yeah I know that but we are paying for the fastest speed and when it eventually works we don’t get nowhere near that speed. Considering how many times I have to reset the router we don’t get a full service. Just wanted it sorting out

@virginmedia It says there’s no issues in my area. So why does my internet keep going off. If it works it’s very rarely high or if it is it’s only for a short time. Then goes off and gives low readings. I’ve reset it and unplugged it from mains etc and still it’s on and off. Annoying

@virginmedia And it has just cut out again and your bot via the number above just said restart the router and put the phone down on me. Slightly concerned that it lasted 5 days again and decided to come back to disconnecting?

@virginmedia Should that not be your job to check and then tell me the answer. You havnt really solved the problem by telling me to check my area. You should know if there’s any problems where ever they may be

. @virginmedia rang virgin last week to move house. You've done the external install yesterday but haven't turned up for internal install today. Tried to log into my account and it says my package is cancelled no options for support at all. Called and hung up on before answer.

@lxwissssss @MartinEdition @virginmedia Mine is excellent once they replaced the wiring because it was old and now mine never goes off and it’s super fast! The English call centres are great but the Indian and Philippines ones are really bad I avoid them because they just read off scripts!

@virginmedia So I expected a call today before 12pm from business team I also logged a call back on the website for one of the team to call me before 12pm. Engineer on Friday said someone would call in the morning it’s now just gone after 12 and I am still waiting? This is poor?!

@virginmedia I’ve sorted the problem I think. Or maybe until the next time it goes off. I’ve disconnected coax cable etc and blew them clean and tightened them back up and done a speed test and it’s up to 365mb download speed. Hopefully this has fixed problem

Ha ha @virginmedia it’s gone off again. This is twice since dinner time where it’s just randomly turned itself off. #annoying and yes it’s saying there’s nothing wrong with the service in my area. So why does it turn itself off ffs

@virginmedia I have a wired connection into the hub. That connection is what all tests are done on and the speed fluctuates Fromm 500mbps to 30 Mbps down and "usually remain at 30 Mbps up. Of course because I am testing from a wired connection it is effecting both wired and WiFi.

@virginmedia hi, what’s the best way to get my contract name and email updated? Your team took my details down wrong (claira instead of Claire)so I can’t link my o2 account to virgin. I updated my name details when I first joined but I think the contract is what needs updating?

@virginmedia Just so you know, i have called the numbers and can't get any further with the team still insisting on charging me early termination even with a new replacement customer waiting to sign up! I thus wonder what the charge covers?

@virginmedia having had flooring damaged during installation of VM services in August 2020, we are still waiting for said damage to be rectified. Do not join Virgin Media if you want a harmonious life. Their customer service is appalling beyond measure

Been trying to pay a @virginmedia bill for a week now, their quick pay service is down and you need a PhD to navigate their website! Meanwhile, I get an email saying there will be a late payment charge. Anybody recommend another provider?
