  • andyshem Andy Shemilt (@andyshem) reported from Eltham, England

    @virginmedia please stop phoning my house daily in middle of working day to tell me you’re upgrading my WiFi signal. Every time you upgrade my signal, it breaks it. I’m already on a self purchased WiFi booster and it’s currently adequate. Please leave me and my signal alone!

  • jpmcic Jean-Paul Marc (@jpmcic) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia 33Mbps DL and 19.59 Mbps UL... but however three attempts at running the Speedtest. On the first two attempts the UL test failed reporting connectivity issues.

  • jpmcic Jean-Paul Marc (@jpmcic) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia It is my wired connection that is at fault. Have literally plugged my laptop in directly to the Virgin Hub box and run various tests and network diagnostics for which I have confirmed the slow speeds.

  • peteholbrook Peter Holbrook (he) (@peteholbrook) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia In relation to a potential weakness in security. I’ve got a retro phone with no caller ID. I have a name, they provided a customer licence number for me to check and to authenticate them as genuine . I have a name and they said they were phoning from Hampshire.

  • joel_reich Joel Reich (@joel_reich) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @virginmedia - what is going on with your service in E17? The app says no reported issues but every day it’s the same - our whole street complains of repeated dropouts 🙈 are you aware? Can I register a complaint please? #broadband #service #unreliable

    @virginmedia our internet has been rubbish lately but today it’s completely down with no signs of life. Tried to check service on the website and your website says our post code isn’t valid?

  • jpmcic Jean-Paul Marc (@jpmcic) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia serious issues, getting less than 18Mbps on a 350Mbps package for past 24 hours and connection drop-outs. Impacting my ability to work and very frustrating senior leadership call.

  • Jamie_Howe75 Jamie Bolding-Howe🏳️‍🌈🇬🇧 (@Jamie_Howe75) reported from Stratford, England

    @virginmedia I asked for it to be raised as a complaint but doubt it did get raised by the experience so far. I'm sick of talking about it, how about virgin actually gets of their *** and actually sort this out for once, and before you ask me to call virgin, forget it I've done enough already

  • steve01395341 steve (@steve01395341) reported from Crayford, England

  • Harrythedog69 ⚒⚒Mark Lawley ⚒⚒ (@Harrythedog69) reported

    @virginmedia how am i supposed to discuss cancelling a contract in the timescale given if you don't answer a phone or respond to online chat facility? You increase charges but customer service is poor. Please have enough courtesy to respond on here at least.

  • OhMuru OhMuru (@OhMuru) reported

    @virginmedia Why don't you just ask your specialist resolution team to contact me

  • jasyboy71 Jasyboy71 (@jasyboy71) reported

  • AyoAmal 🍃 (@AyoAmal) reported

    Would have got it as well if it weren’t for this ******* trash internet. @virginmedia am I eligible to cancel my contract on the basis that your internet SUCKS DONKEY *****?

  • OhMuru OhMuru (@OhMuru) reported

    @virginmedia I have tried and got nowhere hence why I've come on twitter to help, why dont you try and help instead of fibbing me off. You can't access complaint from your system, you csnt tell me what option to press to get to customer service why do you have a webchat team, your useless

  • FomorProphecyJo ✨Jo 😊✨ (@FomorProphecyJo) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks but I feel if they wanted to keep us as customers they would have called back. That really is bad customer service
