Real Gaz on a proper bike #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England@_MMaritima @virginmedia Wired speed test would be to isolate between a wireless problem or the connection in. Router might be shielded which would kill signal. Make sure other electronics aren't too close. I can ruin my wireless if I put router on top of my TiVo box
-
Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia The Hub is in modem mode connected to a separate wireless router as the Hub's WiFi has been poor since we got it, so technically it's a wired connection. Router's connection is lost when it drops so no devices can connect wirelessly. Has been stable for about 3 hours now.

Gareth Miller (@geemiller71) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia Horrific customer service

Loki (@CraigShetesmith) reported@virginmedia I can guarantee that I shall not be having another virgin connection. All aspects was terrible form connection to customer service. NEVER AGAIN. I’m happy to rip it out.
-
rhonda yates (@rhotes) reportedTired of paying for multiple subscriptions like Sky, BT Sport, Virgin Media, Now TV, Amazon Prime, Disney+, Apple TV+? I have got the solution. This IPTV @8k_World_IPTV21 offers: • 300,000+ live channels • 65,000+ VODs • PPV events • Netflix
-
Shaun (@shauny67) reported@virginmedia @paulpresenteruk Never use ring door bell over WiFi why cos only works on 2.4ghz & Virgin like all providers combine 2.4 & 5ghz together would need to split them & set a static IP address for the ring door bell on 2.4ghz. best option is ethernet to a POE switch for data & power
-
Aidan Costello (@aidan_codtello) reported@entrustTMF @virginmedia Needless to say neither of us have ever seen the £50. I had terrible broadband from them for many years and don't know why I was foolish enough to go back.
-
Greg O'Connell (Two jabs) (@Gregster29) reported@virginmedia All I'd like to know is if 2Gb fibre is available for my postcode. The website says yes, Customer service says no. So which is it?
-
Bill Graham (@graham69717) reported@entrustTMF @virginmedia Only way to get good service is to use BT/Open Reach as provider; but you will pay! I have had Shell, TalkTalk and now Utility Warehouse as my contract changed hands. All equally poor in their own way. At last house, in the middle of nowhere, had BT, and never had a problem.
-
Daniel Taylor (@DanAaronTaylor) reported@virginmedia VM/O2 account locked for security reasons. Spoke with someone on chat who requested it be unlocked within 5 days. This never happened. Called and asked again for my account to be unlocked. Again told this would be done. Hasn’t. Can this be escalated? I need access.

Lubdub (@LubZafar) reported@virginmedia Even your bot is glitching. Someone needs to fix this problem asap.

Muhammad ali khan (@muhammadali786k) reportedVirgin Media is worst service provider in London. They will take your money and don't provide you right services. Customer service is pathetic and terrible.
