    Susan Johnson (@SusieWJr) reported from Himley, England

    @virginmedia The status checker says intermittent signal in your area. It's disgusting with how much I pay for broadband.

  • a_Muss60
    Andy (@a_Muss60) reported from Swindon, England

    @matt_hanson70 @virginmedia Intermittent for 2.5 days, Sunday always v poor the worst is 0.4mbs with a 250mbs supply. VM's script always saying reboot etc.. Funny though following reporting an issue a week ago I suddenly recorded 256mbs for an hour then it slowly drops to normal! First ever hitting supply.

  • HuntColin58
    Colin Hunt (@HuntColin58) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia It took me best part of a day Friday 24/3/2023 to contact you to cancel my broadband but since I finally managed to you have been contacting me 4 times a day. We have signed a contract with someone else. Please stop harassing us we have cancelled

  • CaseyRain
    Casey Rain (aka S-Endz) (@CaseyRain) reported from Birmingham, England

    Had an @virginmedia broadband outage on Sunday for 2 hours. Since then, connection so spotty that I'm getting 10 seconds of completely dropped packets followed by 20 seconds of slow-as-molasses ping times once every 10 minutes.

    Simon Neale (@nealesj) reported from Swindon, England

    @virginmedia Dear ‘RP,’ I find your tone unacceptable. I don’t care how many times you’ve had to repeat the statement; customers are paying for a service they’ve not been getting, so dial down your level of obnoxiousness please.

  • ReissOmari
    Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, England

    Mad that I pay £71 a month for 350mbps a month for @virginmedia for them to only supply me with 40mbps, internet is barely moving, can’t even load basic web pages on my MacBook or phone. Problems in the Birmingham area??

  • BeardPunk
    Beard Punk (@BeardPunk) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Rebooted several times. Wi-Fi works fine, it’s just the VPN. Automated message says there’s still an issue.

  • AntonyHowlett
    Antony Howlett (@AntonyHowlett) reported from Birmingham, England

    @ChristineAllado @virginmedia I keep having this problem every week and nothing ever gets done and all you get back is we can't find a fault

  • redron1975
    Ronnie Harris (@redron1975) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @virginmedia guess what ********* your system is down again. Useless pricks.

  • EvanD
    Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Yes I’ve done that. My connection drops out for a minute or so every 30-60 mins. Hard to replicate. My account has notes regarding the reason why the credit was given last time. Ideally I don’t want to wait so long for the same issue to be fixed.

  • haychapperz
    hayley chapman (@haychapperz) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia what is going on B31 5 still without Broadband & TV from 11am and now being told fix is 12pm tomorrow. I have been unable to work all day & now problem is going in to tomorrow. This is unacceptable & I hope refunds for loss of service will be applied to all accounts.

    @virginmedia the most unreliable service going! Sky should be rubbing their hands together knowing that this shower of **** is their main competition.

  • kevmaslin
    Kev Maslin (@kevmaslin) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia your treatment of us over a Lasting Power of Attorney issue has been appalling. Your people have actually SHREDDED a document costing hundreds of pounds despite us being told it had been returned. CISAS has been invoked and your CEO will be told . @MoneyTelegraph

  • chrispsaras
    Chris Psaras (@chrispsaras) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia no broadband since yesterday afternoon, told engineers were on route but still no update. Your offshore call centre is also unhelpful and not able to offer any further information. Please can you help?

  • Stephen12857059
    Stephen Bennett (@Stephen12857059) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia I called 150 today to speak to a Supervisor regarding my bill. I was told I would receive a call within the hour. NOTHING. I agreed a contract 18/8/22 and the last two payments have been £65 & £75 more than agreed. This is shocking customer care and service.

  • measlewolf
    Steve Lees (@measlewolf) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia afternoon. I’ve been on hold for 25 mins and when I finally got through the line went dead after security questions. My mum has been without her TV service for over a week. Last night an engineer was due by 6 o’clock and never showed. Another text stating the 26th

  • duggystoneradio
    duggystone radio (@duggystoneradio) reported from Swindon, England

    Well hope @virginmedia and .#o2 get their act together it’s been shocking this week for robust network Had to kill the show this am could not even do audio stream Shocking we’ve got #duggysfest in may ….

    Virgin media is literally dog! Worst thing I've done is keep renewing with you every year next year 100% going with bt! Forever dropping out reconnecting utter pointless meant to be 1gig complete waffle! @Virgin #virginmedia

  • BeardPunk

    @virginmedia any updates on the VPN issue?

  • timhazelwood2
    Tim Hazelwood (@timhazelwood2) reported from Bewdley, England

    @virginmedia Hi, following on from the resolution of the issue outlined above. My dad has received a full bill despite being assured by every employee we have spoken to that he wouldn't be charged for the period he was without service (more than two months). Please advise

    Reformed Prisoner (@formerprisoner_) reported

    @virginmedia 2/2 cont… ombudsman. You constantly failed to deliver a service, made constant promises and failed to deliver on them, so you were left with no choice but to agree to the cancellation. You are quite comfortably the worst broadband provider I have ever come across.

  • kazconn
    karen connor (@kazconn) reported

    @virginmedia , ITV not working in NE16

  • TheRealKPain
    Kevin Pain (@TheRealKPain) reported

    @virginmedia Done that and still the same issue tbh

  • CraigA3
    Craig Aldridge (@CraigA3) reported

    Beware of @virginmedia they lie and change your bill without warning. Then multiple assistants will lie & says it's fixed but they will still charge you. If you call you'll be on hold for 30 mins tell them all the right security answers but they will say they are wrong & not help

  • mn2704
    Steven ross (@mn2704) reported

    Tired 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_Best_IPTV27 offers: • 300,000+ live channels • 65,000+ VODs • PPV events • Netflix • 78,000+ movies

    @Channel4 what's going on with your channel through @virginmedia ? Awful picture/sound

  • philbreadin
    Phil (@philbreadin) reported

    @virginmedia how come my bill has jumped from £55 to £72 mid contract? I understand it's April and a small price increase is expected but £17 is taking the mick. With the issues I've had lately @sky is looking more tempting.

  • dombuz
    Buzz (@dombuz) reported

    So, tomorrow begins the process of renewing my virgin media for the same price they offer new customers. My current deal renewal price £29.99pcm. New customer £24. The haggle and 1 hour of the worst customer service help line will be worth it.

  • therealsambo121
    One day you'll see the truth (@therealsambo121) reported

    @virginmedia now at the sith attempt of trying to solve this issue! I'm going to quit My contact when it's up . Shame it's not now
