andy lanyon (@andylance1977) reported from Newport, Wales@virginmedia It works intermittently. This has been discussed over a series of phone calls through 12 months. A booster box has been sent too and its still poor. We're paying for a service we can't use when we want to. The TV box is next to the WiFi box downstairs & is still poor.

Paul Ivins 🏴 ♎ 💙🏳️🌈 🏳️⚧️ 🇪🇺 (@ivinsp) reported from Cardiff, Wales@richie_rich77 @virginmedia If it's just a WiFi issue and your LAN connection is OK maybe try a mesh system. Works great here with BT

Gareth Jones (@gazthebluebird1) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia That's not going to help me reset my password.
-
Steve Mowat (@SteveMowat4) reported from Weston-super-Mare, England@virginmedia Both those lights should be green. Any red lights mean there is a network fault either on a cable or on the box to which the cable screws into. Now please tell me, what is so difficult to send someone out to investigate that??
-
Paul Burnell (@Paulyb65) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia really frustrating morning. First day back from the holidays, stacks to do and internet has been down from minute I signed in!! Really need this back up ASAP!!
-
andy lanyon (@andylance1977) reported from Newport, Wales@virginmedia why does it seem impossible to sort my TV and WiFi out? My partner has been phoning up on and off for a year or more about poor signal, not being able to use catch and apps and general poor service. Just get fobbed off.] Is this how you treat all customers?
-
Brody (@brodyanderson_) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia Yeah have already called. Reports no service issues in my location despite online reporting intermittent issues this morning. Ability to book an engineer has disappeared. Help appreciated - now over 24h without connection

-
Dan (@DanJeoryPhoto) reportedAnyone else in the Chester, NW region having problems with their @virginmedia broadband service? Been down all morning #chestertweets
-
Veronica Dodd (@Vonk9) reported@WHUbluesman @virginmedia They denied there was a problem when I rang. Sent out an engineer who told me there was a known problem. What's the excuse?????
-
Ryan (@SarkySodRyan) reported@virginmedia And given I'm already annoyed - don't ask me if I've switched it off and back on again. Of course I have. It still doesn't work.
-
Gram (@Gram7070707070) reported@Carolestfc1 @virginmedia Worst company I have ever dealt with and it's not even close. They'll screw your credit rating by mistake and never, ever fix it. They'll hang up on you, the staff don't put notes on accounts and you have to tell the same story to 20 different disinterested call centre staff.
-
Alan Roberts (@AlanRob68902430) reported@alexand979677 @virginmedia grounds to terminate the contract folks
-
Craig Sutton (@CraigSu66242369) reported@virginmedia @alexand979677 Customers shouldn't have to compromise. We have all paid for a service which we are currently not getting. It's a disgrace really considering the cost. Maybe time for a change.
-
Stephen Maddock (@stephenm68) reportedDay 23 without our @virginmedia broadband (or phone, or TV) so I’ve celebrated by spending 90 minutes on hold with the “Customer Services” team and responding to the email from the Complaints team telling me that they had fixed my issue (spoiler: they hadn’t). Pathetic!
-
James Harding (@Harding85Jh) reported@virginmedia Again @virginmedia still hasn't fixed the problem regarding red button what a shambles
-
IAmTheSavageSho (@IAmTheSavageSho) reported@virginmedia count your days WiFi has gone down in Colne Lancashire can't even play the new Zombies Map Rex Infernus because of it 🥀💔
-
A.Brown (@_DundeePerfect_) reported@timtam1888 @heid_the_baw_ @virginmedia The problem many have with connection Speeds in other Rooms has partly nothing to do with the size of the Router, it is down to using wifi and not wired by Cable. All rooms for best results need wired, my own wifi I can't even get sat outside my own House never mind game with it.
