  • AndrewGrill The Actionable Futurist® Andrew Grill (@AndrewGrill) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia I’m not a VM customer, I just want to buy a WiFi pass as my carrier’s login methods have changed and I can no longer log in automatically

  • feyipuk Phil (@feyipuk) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia That's my issue; in terms of service, it is resolved. Thr cable was previously buried (all be it not that deep), & I would have liked it to be again. My suggestion was leave slack so I could bury it. That message wasn't passed on to the 3rd party engineer. What would you advise?

  • gendal Richard Gendal Brown (@gendal) reported from City of London, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for your help but this is a problem only Three can sort! Their new system works where it’s deployed. The problem is that they haven’t deployed it everywhere - eg Elizabeth Line.

  • ChristineAllado Christine Allado (@ChristineAllado) reported from London, England

    .@virginmedia hi virgin, we've not had internet all day and absolutely need it for work. Can you give an update for why this is our network status?

  • seiferxin1 seiferxin (@seiferxin1) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia really let down by Virgin media. I'm on M200 and am getting 50M at the mo. As low as 0.18M around 7pm and 10M around 8pm. Your customer service chat hasn't responded in 3hrs. I've reset router and changed channels. It's been patchy all week What am I paying for?

  • elthampalacegay royal 🌈 (@elthampalacegay) reported from London, England

    Or #virginmedia wiping the Wi-Fi network name every other month on the 2G and 5G saaaaaaaaaake

  • sousax_x XxSousaxX (@sousax_x) reported from Broxbourne District, England

  • manan2661 Manan (@manan2661) reported from Barnet, England

    Hi @virginmedia . My internet has just completely stopped working today and I have restarted my router number out times today without any luck. Can you please help?

  • ChristineAllado Christine Allado (@ChristineAllado) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Looks like there are issues that need to be resolved hopefully by tomorrow.. Is this something that might be fixed sooner and am I able to seek compensation?

  • feyipuk Phil (@feyipuk) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia Phoned, and as expected; they can't just "put this right". The equipment and service are working fine. That the dish is broken and there is little slack to enable me to bury the cable deeper is due to local engineers. Will just have to dig trench, break cable and wait again!

  • tonyps1977 Tony Patis-Stannard (@tonyps1977) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia your service is shocking and spent 40mins on the phone to be told you can’t connect my call and to try again, you have my contact details get in touch with me as I want to speak to someone about the service I’m not getting…

  • RobbieSpice89 Robbie_Spice (@RobbieSpice89) reported from Paddington, England

  • Laurad0707 Laura (@Laurad0707) reported from Broxbourne District, England

    @virginmedia when I switched to you in April the guy selling the package offered me some Wi-Fi boosters if I had poor signal in parts of my house which I do… now some months in I really do need them and was promised them free of charge so can you make good on your promise please

  • DelDelovely Deli (@DelDelovely) reported from Eltham, England

    So @virginmedia who do I invoice for the lost revenue for my husband and I as you can’t send an engineer out for 6 DAYS to fix our broadband/TV fault??! Please tell me who I’m to send the invoice to, and also how to get compensation for 6 days of lost service 😡

  • tor_a victoria martin (@tor_a) reported from Barnet, England

    @elisjames @virginmedia Used to have problems in Streatham with Virgin before we change provider. Needed a new router last time.

  • BeckyKellyNews Becky Kelly (Göllner) (@BeckyKellyNews) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia He has tried this and every time it just reverts to an automated bot response that doesn’t accept/understand /respond to his request to cancel. I need another way. As it’s proving impossible and stressful

  • DanePictionaire Andrew 'Four Jabs' Burrell (@DanePictionaire) reported

    So far #nowtv's broadband customer service has been top class. I'm not accustomed to this after being a #virginmedia customer for 6 years.

  • twitnmic Kev Mic (@twitnmic) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve had no emails come through since Saturday. Is there a problem? Please respond so that I can DM you with further details.

  • AlexiaPage Alexia Page (@AlexiaPage) reported

    Hi @virginmedia it really should not take nearly an hour on online chat to cancel service, when out of contract so completely within rights to cancel. And no, I do not have to tell you which provider I am going to or how my household uses broadband! (1/2)

  • WorkAcc05931715 Work Account (@WorkAcc05931715) reported

    @virginmedia Hello. We have had intermittent broadband connection for over five weeks now. No updates, no clarity. I work from home and will have to leave Virgin if I can’t find a solution asap. In SE26 area. Can someone help explain the situation, please?

  • LisaAld21314607 Lisa Alderson (@LisaAld21314607) reported

    @virginmedia The connect app saying no issues even though when I moved In I had to purchase my own booster for upstairs will try my laptop but the issue is clearly wireless as are most of the devices at home.

  • AllyMunira Munira Ali (@AllyMunira) reported

    @virginmedia Still not working, I checked with my friends in my area nobody has internet in E16 area

  • djwiltsh Daniel Wiltshire (@djwiltsh) reported

    @virginmedia So, this all seemed to be fixed by Aug 17th. Then I went on holiday, came back, and we have exactly the same issue. Nothing listed on the service status for the area, connection drops with a green flashing light between 23:00 and 23:30, will return at some point before lunchtime

  • djwiltsh Daniel Wiltshire (@djwiltsh) reported

    @virginmedia Nothing listed as a problem in the area (which I don't believe based on last time this happened). Check fails as it thinks the hub is disconnected (which is the whole problem!)
