  • leeds2d JT (@leeds2d) reported from Bishop Auckland, England

    @virginmedia Hi. I’ve followed online instructions and reset factory settings on the hub and now my Wi-fi is not working

  • WarrenBaister Warren Baister 🇬🇧 (@WarrenBaister) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia There isn’t any reported problems in my area but mine is very ‘hit and miss’ at the moment. I’ll go for periods where nothing will upload/download at all

  • leeds2d JT (@leeds2d) reported from Bishop Auckland, England

    @virginmedia No. I’ve been in contact and I was supposed to receive a phone call within 4 hours. This was 6 hours ago. Very poor service

  • WarrenBaister Warren Baister 🇬🇧 (@WarrenBaister) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia Yes unable to use it. Wireless is very poor and was great during the first couple of weeks. Uploading is very hot and miss. Not happy considering I’m paying for fast broadband. My phone rarely connects to it unless I’m fairly close to the router. This can’t be right

  • ConnorMather Connor Mather (@ConnorMather) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia is a joke had a issue with my internet box for weeks and nothing resolves it and I try to call them and never get a hold of them. Pisstake

  • petersnowdon Peter Snowdon (@petersnowdon) reported from Darlington, England

    40 mins on the phone to @virginmedia on hold listening to poor music ....have you thought of recruiting some staff? Plenty of people would love a job at the moment...mad way to run a business

  • WarrenBaister Warren Baister 🇬🇧 (@WarrenBaister) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia my WiFi is terrible. So slow and it’s meant to be the fastest. Regretting the switch at the minute

  • richarddbaker Richard Baker (@richarddbaker) reported from Darlington, England

    No company will ever be as inept as @virginmedia: - Phone lines: wait for hours, can't speak to anyone - Message service on app down for two weeks - Text service: messaged Sat, Sun, Mon, Tues; still no reply

  • kara44234 KaraS4234 (@kara44234) reported from Durham, England

    @virginmedia What else would you expect when you have been offered a service you don't get

  • Lopek Andy Gibson (@Lopek) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia It's the continued problems that annoy me. Down again now, third time this Easter Weekend. Yes it's showing as down on your dashboard. I always check & flag it when I (also) have a problem. Getting worse all the time. Beyond a joke.

  • Lopek Andy Gibson (@Lopek) reported from Darlington, England

    Broadband down yet again. Can I suggest a now slogan @virginmedia... Reliably Unreliable".

  • JaysonGurney Jayson Gurney (@JaysonGurney) reported from Darlington, England

    @Minal2804 @virginmedia I feel your pain and frustration. I'm have total loss of network and internet due to electrical problem caused by meter replacement with Utility Warehouse

  • richarddbaker Richard Baker (@richarddbaker) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia Ah, so I do have to wait a week to get my broadband service back then! I was tantalisingly close to being able to do my job! Will have to inform my employers I guess!

  • petersnowdon Peter Snowdon (@petersnowdon) reported from Darlington, England

    Hi @virginmedia received a letter this morning advising me of price rise and providing a link for more info. The link directs me to call and you don't answer. Any suggestions? I'd like to cancel my service with you. Thanks

  • C4SPAR_ C4SP4R (@C4SPAR_) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @davidm_allan @virginmedia I Live in Roker, had nothing but trouble with virgin broadband. Had it replaced today.

  • richarddbaker Richard Baker (@richarddbaker) reported from Darlington, England

    .@virginmedia are amazing me at the levels of incompetence that they're able to reach. Been on hold today now for 1h 33m, 2hrs 7m (then they cut me off!) and currently 33mins! If you need any customer service from them then avoid them!!!

  • jonnydearlove Jonny Dearlove (@jonnydearlove) reported from Middleton St. George, England

    @virginmedia Hi. Weve just moved house and are trying to install a new router but house connections look out of date. What is the best contact for someone to help with this as may need someone to come out?

  • kara44234 KaraS4234 (@kara44234) reported from Durham, England

    @virginmedia In which looking deeper into the matter alot lof people are saying the same think since they have moved to virgin media its shocking the lies you have informed customers that you will never have issues with WiFi speed having fiber utter rubbish

  • richarddbaker Richard Baker (@richarddbaker) reported from Darlington, England

    Today's @virginmedia phone queue times, and still not sorted my broadband issue: - 1hr 30m - 2hrs 7m (cut off) - 1hr 33m (cut off) - currently, 17m Inept, profit grabbing company. Some more customer service staff would be great!

  • davedome Dave (@davedome) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia Thanks 4 replying, every call is diverted 2 collections despite not being behind on payments & choosing technical issues 📲 - it’s constantly buffering on any OD sky film we choose. Netflix is fine. I’m on hold again but I’ve given over an hour to this already & my child needs me

  • rocky1lingo2 Yvonne h (@rocky1lingo2) reported

    @virginmedia dreadful service, I am trying to close an account of a family member who has passed away, it is shocking! I have all the legal paperwork yet that’s not good enough so you’ll send a letter to his house, where he no longer lives as he is not with us anymore.
