damian Kerlin 🏳️🌈 (@damianKerlin) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia Yes, and it is a different issue every time. How, in a capital city, is this happening everyday, with your engineers unable to do anything to improve the situation. …and what about that refund, as we are paying for internet which we are not getting?

Mark (@MarkAnstee2) reported from Weston-super-Mare, England@paulatkinsonuk @virginmedia Virgin hubs are known for poor wifi signal the hub 4 aint much better i ended up getting an old home hub router and turning that into a wifi access point . Though if you do get a hub 4 beware of overheating along with virgin wifi boosters.
-
Jordan (@welshcuriosity) reported from Cardiff, WalesUpgrading to gigabit broadband meant getting a new router from VirginMedia, so took the opportunity to tidy up and remove old cabling and extension leads. Didn't realise just how much unused crap I still had plugged in/taking up space

Darren Coomber (@Dazc090861) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia In Dec, you sent an email thanking me for making changes & what I'd get from now on & it'd cost over twice as much as I was paying. I never asked for any changes & in one of the many, calls I've made, I was told that your Oomph bundle department had shut around the same time.
-
Dr Chris Inglis (@ChrisSwinglis) reported from Penarth, Wales@GillibrandPeter Virgin Media are - by a significant margin - the worst company I've ever had the displeasure of having to deal with. I literally don't think there's anything in the world that could ever convince me to go back to them.

Urm (@erm2urm) reported@virginmedia I'm trying to login to my account but I'm being asked to register thru Virgin/02? Why is it doing this?
-
not jay (@notjay92349724) reported@FuzziePieRat @virginmedia Mate, we had exactly the same same thing. Tried to reduce packages down (we were paying £131 a MONTH at the time) and we were assured our package had changed and we were paying SIGNIFICANTLY less. Our bill came through, no change…
-
CrankyGeek (@pepetideo) reported from Oxford, EnglandYou only know how sitty a service provider relly is when something goes wrong. Was with @virginmedia for over 5 years. Now that i decided to leave they have charged me for 2 months with me already with another provider. After complaining they take 2 months to refund you and now that i sent them their router they somehow misplaced it and charged me 40 quid saying i didnt send it (even thought i had a call last week where i gave them the receipt) If you are their customer.. Get out as soon as possible and remember to block the direct debits. They cannot be trusted with your money.
-
entrustTMF (@entrustTMF) reported@BertySi @virginmedia That's certainly the least they should be doing IMHO. This is a ridiculously long period of being unable to access their service @virginmedia, can this be organised as a matter of urgency? I have sent a DM as well
-
S (@sanowano_) reported@virginmedia please I’m just trying to catch up on my shows. Fix the internet in E2 London PLEASE.
-
b4d 5hark (@b4d5harkgaming) reported@virginmedia I've lost all my log in details and forgotten passwords etc your staff cant help me thanks for nothing
-
Jon Pitts (@briavelsjon) reported@mandychoccy @virginmedia Sounds potentially like a comprehensive set of fixes. Ideal solution is to have a tech onsite when you have the problem. Easier said than done, though.
-
Glenn McDonald (@Gtmcdonald1996) reported@virginmedia I’ve been in a live chat for nearly 2 hours with no joy on a resolution and I’ve also tried calling your number numerous times but can’t get through.
-
Martinayres65@outloo (@Martinayres65o1) reported@virginmedia when are you going to fix our broadband. We have been without broadband for 6 days now. My partner offers online psychotherapy support for people with blood cancers and has had to cancel appointments because of this.
-
Sean Pearson (@soapyrct) reported@virginmedia @DjmarkieT Why do you always ask people to DM you? You will just say there is nothing you can do so call the call centre. Also why is your service so bad? You are genuinely the worst company I have ever dealt with!
