    @virginmedia having trouble with my broadband speeds having installed hub4 and spent over an hour trying to get through to customer services. Can you help please?

  • rana_banana Rana Brightman (@rana_banana) reported from London, England

    As customer service standards go, @virginmedia sucks badly. They need to seriously ask themselves, is letting someone wait 45 mins and counting for someone to help with a technical fault acceptable? NO IT ISN’T. HEEEELLLLOOOOO???!! WHEN ARE YOU PICKING UP??!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬

  • SaraBarman Sara Barman (@SaraBarman) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia To clarify : I am still waiting two weeks after the date YOU @virginmedia said you’d call me back. I’ve received another bill for almost twice what I agreed to. And my online message & complaint have been ignored. Shall I try @Ofcom next? Thanks.

  • citigirly lisa sibley (@citigirly) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia hi have had no internet since this afternoon, a fault ref did come up but just received text to say fixed but still no internet ref Fault Ref: F008694497 can you help? I have tried re booting

    @virginmedia your internet is a disgrace I’m defo leaving use tomorrow every single day I have problems with use and I don’t do anything about it constantly taking money every month and I don’t get what I pay for

  • KeeleyOF101 Keeley O'Flaherty (@KeeleyOF101) reported from Thundersley, England

    @virginmedia you came to my mums house to fix cable. You’ve left having disconnected her phone line and sent it to a neighbour house who is now being rude. Been on hold hour on phone. Both in poor health phone Essential

  • SaraBarman Sara Barman (@SaraBarman) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I would like @virginmedia to return the call they promised over a week ago addressing the fact I agreed to pay £28/month and then got charged £46/month. Are you still listening to the tapes?! My email and complaint also ignored. 😡

  • rana_banana Rana Brightman (@rana_banana) reported from London, England

    @k_co @virginmedia That is insane. Urgh. We’re hostages to **** service with the promise of the fastest speeds ever!!!

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

    @virginmedia is their an outage in SE London ? I’ve lost everything.

  • StaceyRebekka Stacey Karlsson (@StaceyRebekka) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia please can you share an email address for complaints. I have not had my issues resolved and there is only a postal address. (Which I assume isn’t monitored due to Covid) I am also sending the same complaint to Ofcom and CISAS.

  • ssb316 Ssb316 (@ssb316) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Are you able to remove all registered devices from my Virgin TV Go account? Searching online it looks like there is a bug on the system, which requires Virgin Support to remove the devices.

  • pauldurie p2.0 ✊🏻 🏳️‍🌈 #BLM (@pauldurie) reported from London, England

    @OwenJones84 @virginmedia @JeremyVineOn5 Usually a router issue of inefficient switching between bands 2.4GHz and 5GHz Can go into router settings and explicitly set it to 2.4GHz (lower speed/better range) or 5GHz (higher speed/poorer range)

  • RaphPH Raph Pour-Hashemi (@RaphPH) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Ok so the estimated time of 20:30 fix this evening has been changed to noon tomorrow. How do I claim compensation as I’ve had nothing for a whole day and no one has attempted to fix it despite acknowledging whole area fault.

  • yoelbrightman Yoel Brightman (@yoelbrightman) reported from London, England

    Is anyone else having lots of issues with the super hub 4 from @virginmedia. Seems to frequently lose connection and never gets anywhere near the advertised down speeds

  • mun2010cr Maisy Ray (@mun2010cr) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia why is the broad band service not working. You said you sent the link remotely and should work in 10 minutes and it has not worked. Please sort it out #virginmedia

  • mun2010cr Maisy Ray (@mun2010cr) reported from London, England

    Virgin media what’s happening to broadband services. Your remote access is not working. #virginmedia

  • RaphPH Raph Pour-Hashemi (@RaphPH) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia internet down in BR1 and doesn’t seem to be being investigated ? My test says service impacted.

  • WeHateHills WeHateHills (@WeHateHills) reported from South Woodham Ferrers, England

    @ClassicSoulDJ @virginmedia Get @BTGroup much more reliable - have read so many stories about #Virgin having problems

  • rob_green86 Rob Green Jnr (@rob_green86) reported from Thundersley, England

    @SpursKS @virginmedia What's the issue

  • OlaAgbaimoni Ola Agbaimoni (@OlaAgbaimoni) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Hi please send an engineer to my house to sort out the useless Hub 4 box that replaced my reliable and efficient Hub 3. I have asked the community for a solution and they say get engineer out to separate the 2 and 5 GEXT. Fed up of paying good £ for a crap service!

    @virginmedia Yeah.. trouble is nobody answers the phone . I can see from the many many complaints on your timeline I’m not the only one

  • KIGary KIGary (@KIGary) reported

    @virginmedia ummm...so I upgraded my broadband to 500Mbps with a guarantee of 250Mbps. So far I've not pulled more than 35. Previously I was getting 120. Can you help, please? Customer services don't seem to be able to.

  • RickeyPatel17 Rickey Patel (@RickeyPatel17) reported

    @virginmedia They are not working. I have been on the phone all day trying to resolve the issue and nobody is able to help

  • alexdomnatjess Alexandra Wallace (@alexdomnatjess) reported

    @virginmedia We have never, ever had a decent download speed from our broadband, the Wi-Fi signal does not carry to five rooms and it just intermittently disappears…..

  • Limes_361 Scott (@Limes_361) reported

    @virginmedia So the homemovers team have confirmed in chat that the reorder was placed this morning and I can expect to wait 7-10 days for arrival. I still don't have email confirmation though. I will deal with the fact I am paying for services not yet received in the complaint logged. Thanks

  • stuart_mackay88 Stuart Mackay (@stuart_mackay88) reported

    @virginmedia There are none, that's the issue its only my house following the visit this morning

  • AustinJQuinlan A. J. Quinlan (@AustinJQuinlan) reported

    @virginmedia Hullo! I've your 250mbps fibre power broadband in my home in Dublin, Ireland and I'm getting network connectivity readings of 45-75mbps, which is WAY below the possible drop in mbps promised. Is there a reason for this?

  • Aisha46944727 Aisha (@Aisha46944727) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, to be honest it’s been on and off for the past week. Which is not ideal when you’re trying to run a business. There was a local outage at the time of my last tweet. Trying to call and speak to somebody is also v difficult and time consuming. Can you help?

  • stuart_mackay88 Stuart Mackay (@stuart_mackay88) reported

    @virginmedia On top of that I've just been told the appointment I was told I had for Monday (which is far too long when it was broken by an engineer) wasn't actually confirmed and there are now no slots?!

  • samjknights Sam Knights (@samjknights) reported

    @Rob_K_Abrams And @virginmedia are being useless, as usual. Keep on saying it's not their problem. Appalling customer service.
