    @virginmedia Router WiFi connection is so unstable people are about to throw them out their windows!! Might be worth moving to @VodafoneUK to get a better price and service? #VirginMedia has been truly awful recently

    @virginmedia Company has been wound up so there won't be any concerns about liability. This wouldn't be an issue if account had been set up properly in the first place Tried to do it properly and will screenshot the chat for future legal recourse

    Hi @virginmedia we rent a property with virgin fibre, download speed is fast but upload very low. I can’t login to account as it’s not mine. Suggestions?

  • NLFG
    Nick Chainey 💙 (@NLFG) reported from Hemel Hempstead, England

    @virginmedia I've tried both of those. I was going to restart the router and see if that made any difference. Appreciate the help 👍🏼

    @virginmedia Going by the tv & broadband issues I’m experiencing - am I correct in assuming the gremlin is back? I can’t even get on your site!

  • TriciaCaputo
    Patricia Rayney Ⓥ (@TriciaCaputo) reported from Luton, England

    @virginmedia We have business broadband and received an email saying that there was a planned outage in our area. As we are due to give a live broadcast soon we need to know if the work has been completed.

    @virginmedia broadband is down despite reading it's back up and running. Website is down too so can't check or report.

    Sian Milner (@sianhelena_m) reported from Hitchin, England

    @gashead @virginmedia Bizarre that it’s not actually Kelly causing an issue yet they’re being very helpful for me! Unfortunately not sorted! Honestly lost all faith in it being resolved. Never had such an issue trying to get an answer from a company. Hope you get sorted too!

  • ushererofsouls
    ✨kate✨ (@ushererofsouls) reported from Harlington, England

    @virginmedia Hi. I can see there’s an ongoing issue with the TV in my area with fix date of 1600hrs 25th. This has been going on for over a week now & the blips/surges through the box & it constantly resetting is becoming really annoying & has even taken the wifi out sometimes.

  • lutonmagoo
    Big E (@lutonmagoo) reported from Caddington, England

    @virginmedia Yes conveniently he said we cannot run a test on the service at the moment because there is no service and it’s crap and doesn’t work

  • moffmark
    Mark (@moffmark) reported from Hertfordshire, England

    @virginmedia So VM, I’ve been ‘talking’ to Andi BOT for the past 90 minutes and it says wait times are over 15mins but ‘it’ has been saying this for over an hour!! There’s only so many times I can reset the damn router to try and improve wifi! Really regretting leaving @SkyUK atm

    @Paulos_the_fog @virginmedia Yes, that is a problem but I may be able to log into the router. Thanks for your help.

  • portishair

    @virginmedia the sky sports picture quality is unusually poor today.

    @virginmedia #virginmedia lied to me when I join the network they I get a recommendation offer but I don’t get 😣

    John B 💙🤍🔥💥🚴‍♂️⛷⭐️🇪🇺💫☄️ (@JB_CFFire) reported from Hertfordshire, England

    @Paulos_the_fog @virginmedia Because of home working I upgraded to 350mbps package and was getting that until a few months ago measured using a variety of apps - now it’s down to 80 consistently.

  • Claydon8Tim
    tim (@Claydon8Tim) reported from Hitchin, England

    @virginmedia Sorry. That’s it. Sorry. Yes I’ve checked and the WiFi is now working. I also checked and I’ll still be billed the full amount for a 2nd rate service that doesn’t in anyway match your glitzy empty advertising campaigns.

    @virginmedia I have just spent over 1hr20mins on the phone trying to sort out my mothers virgin account she has dementia person I finally spoke to (after 3 other depts) put me on hold & we got cut off. He hasn’t bothered to call me back despite having my number! Dreadful service!

  • PaddyStavros69
    Paddy Stavros (@PaddyStavros69) reported

    @Carolestfc1 @virginmedia Bang on Carole, unacceptably poor from @virginmedia. Ditch the standard robotic replies, either sort it out for Carole pronto or sort out a refund AND a goodwill financial gesture. 👊🏼

  • Vonk9
    Veronica Dodd (@Vonk9) reported

    @WHUbluesman @virginmedia They denied there was a problem when I rang. Sent out an engineer who told me there was a known problem. What's the excuse?????

  • Vonk9
    Veronica Dodd (@Vonk9) reported

    @virginmedia can you advise when the red button service might be reinstated for Sky Sports please.

    Ponzi (@AiurKan) reported

    @MrSajjadengland @Starlink Had Virgin media 350mbs phones and wireless cameras kept lagging for 3 years, so often using phone data because of it Now I have 200 Mbs plan and everything is working perfect no data issue or wife complaining about , nothing is lagging , I did run a stress test and all good

  • amandajlee_lee
    Amanda Lee (@amandajlee_lee) reported

    @virginmedia @YouMadBruv3r How long does it take @virginmedia ??? Mines been down for weeks, right at the start of the season. Just done the service status check that you recommended for a fix date and it doesn't work 🤬🤬

  • piacapa
    Cheryl Brown (@piacapa) reported

    @virginmedia awful service. Still waiting for my tech engineer to arrive - time given by a Virgin 12-4pm. Now told another engineer will be with me ‘shortly’ but no time given! Seriously considering switching to BT

  • nickholding01
    Nick68 (@nickholding01) reported

    @virginmedia Hello @virginmedia I dont think it's unreasonable to ask about a timescale for a fix and if compensation will be offered. It is however rude to ignore people

  • Nitromanuk
    Nitroman 🇬🇧🇺🇸 (@Nitromanuk) reported

    @TheFreds I've been with O2 since the very beginning and never had a problem. Even better now they've teamed up with virgin media.

  • Cptredwaffle
    Captain_red_waffle (@Cptredwaffle) reported

    @virginmedia 3rd street-wide outage this year in LS6 tonight. Surveyors have confirmed my property is infra-locked with zero Openreach/Altnet access. Virgin holds a total monopoly here, yet the local street infrastructure is failing. Shambolic really, I need this escalating.
