    @EmmettGraham @virginmedia I actually took the option of “Are You Thinking Of Leaving Us” earlier. I was answered quite quickly, but nothing was resolved. I was, as usual transferred to somebody else and then on hold for 10mins. Still nothing resolved with my issue, Good Luck to you.

  • GayToryJon Jonathan (@GayToryJon) reported from Blackpool, England

    @virginmedia The work has been completed within 2 hours, which is commendable. Have checked my postcode and sadly you don’t offer a service here, even though it’s only about 20 feet from where they have just been working.

  • trottermick Mavis Cartwright (@trottermick) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia That doesn’t explain why you said you could help. I already knew where to ring and told you that I had done that many times, to no avail! I doubt that the matter is in hand and that I will ever get the promised call back,but I will certainly let you know!

  • ItsNantoOmg Sai 🏳️‍🌈🎮🏊 (@ItsNantoOmg) reported

    @virginmedia But if you can kindly answer me as to why the service has been so unreliable in the most recent weeks, that would be great. Thanks. In an age where people work from home or streamers who make a living, it's not good that there is a loss in service.

  • anniebev6 Annie1971 (@anniebev6) reported

    For the last week my TV and internet has been crap, now I can't even use the app to find out what's happening in my area, such a crap company #virginmedia

  • WendyNicholas1 Wendy Nicholas (@WendyNicholas1) reported

    @virginmedia Speed is not the issue it's the dropouts But we are told because it is intermittent it's not a issue that we can have any type of compensation for as it is not total loss and if it takes 2hrs to watch an 1hr of TV as the WiFi drops waiting for it to restart is not a problem

  • Brynglas70 JimBob🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇮🇹 (@Brynglas70) reported

    Hi @virginmedia any idea how long it's going to take to fix the connection problems with your Hub4 and WiFi pods? It's been a week now. ...

  • cutelittlepunk 『Hana』 (@cutelittlepunk) reported

    @virginmedia Kindly take the issue seriously.

  • _DebDeb_ DebDeb (@_DebDeb_) reported

    Has anyone else's @virginmedia internet been awful the last few days? I've had to reset the hub quite a few times but it's not helping. One min we have Wi-Fi the next we don't #virginmedia #wifi

  • MarkThripp Mark Thripp (@MarkThripp) reported

    @virginmedia Are you aware that if you use the apps to watch @netflix or @primevideouk the sound is missing from the vocals but music and other sounds are fine. Your service is poor considering what you charge for packages !

  • DarrenL52629573 Darren Long (@DarrenL52629573) reported

    @virginmedia Still no service in dy6 , for over £60 a month this is not acceptable

  • Kayywhat3v3r Kayy (@Kayywhat3v3r) reported

  • Christo62584173 BR1NGTH3P4YNE (@Christo62584173) reported

    @virginmedia Same **** they always say, There seems to be an intermitent issue in your area, unplug everything and try again. Need whole new cables leading to the house, thats the issue
