    @virginmedia since Christmas our WiFi has been disgustingly bad. A few weeks ago I called yourselves and spent almost 2 hours on the phone. I upgraded our WiFi at home to the best possible WiFi we could have and yet it’s still shockingly bad. I’ve never known such shoddy service

    @virginmedia Its been ongoing for weeks the Internet drops out for a few hours around the neighbourhood you guys come temporarily fix it then it drops out again a few days latter. I dont go on you page or phone anymore because you can't actually get to speak to anyone.

    @virginmedia It is slow in all three of the devices I use.

    Theresa Higgins (@theresahiggins) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia I was supposed to get texts telling me what was going on. Instead I have had to do the chasing. My system is still not working.

    Andrew Everson (@j2kadd1) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @virginmedia Yeah default =tab, it may be normal for you but not any other provider or router manufacturer. Clearly no point in complaining about a terrible user experience I will just have to buy a router and put yours into the modem mode (which it will probably lose after a update)

    Great time for my internet to go down again. Third time this week @virginmedia #colu

    @virginmedia Please can you assist before I take this further @richardbranson as your customer care is certainly way off the mark. Kind regards Phil Cook

    @virginmedia @virginhelp We upgraded our package and were told a new sim would be with us in 3 days then we may lose service for 10 minutes. However we have been without phone service for 2 days now 😔

    Anyone in Ipswich struggling with Virgin Media speeds currently? It’s awful paying all this money for absolute shite speeds.

    @virginmedia That was a wired connection. It downloaded in the end (all 92GB), I will keep a lookout for issues.

    @virginmedia I use the mac reservation but the WiFi resetting is a bigger issue.

    @virginmedia The service has now been maintained but on us to ensure that's the case. You shouldn't have had one of your sales reps pressure my mother night after night without checking a service could be provided within your budget

  • MakelyStudio
    Ali@Makely (@MakelyStudio) reported

    10+ years. 50M+ users. £11M+ revenue impact. Mercedes. Citibank. Sky. Virgin Media. NatWest. Here's what I learned: Bad product flows can cost thousands, or even millions, in lost revenue. Regardless of company size. What kills conversions in big-name products does the same for startups: - Onboarding that loses people in the first 60 secs - Pricing pages that confuse instead of convert - Sign-up flows that cause decision fatigue I’ve seen that when you fix these - you get more from the traffic you already have. Now I build those same systems for funded startups - so they keep the users they've already paid to get.

    Dr Laura Jenkins (@LauraJks2015) reported

    @virginmedia Hi. How do I find out how long an outage is going to be? WiFi is currently off and I’ve reset everything so I’m guessing it’s a network issue.

  • TheModSmithYT
    TheModSmith (@TheModSmithYT) reported

    My household has been with @virginmedia for around 25 years. We’re told new customers at our address can get full fibre/XGS-PON, but existing customers can’t migrate. So we’re stuck on older HFC/DOCSIS with Gig1 upload around 100Mbps. Why must loyal customers cancel/rejoin?

    @virginmedia yeah did that. it says all fine. no issues .... yet a quick scan of social media ( not using virgin broadband obviously, reveals there's an outage in my area .... perhaps you should move your status checker to another provider? It's going to 24 hours apparently. great service
