    @eerosupport hi. I have a Eero 6+. If I connect it to @virginmedia 1gbps service, will I get 1gbps?

    @virginmedia I received my new 500+mps broadband only to get 6mps on my phone in my room. The Router is Terrible and cannot send the speed to devices via wifi. Not Good for anyone

    @virginmedia your treatment of us over a Lasting Power of Attorney issue has been appalling. Your people have actually SHREDDED a document costing hundreds of pounds despite us being told it had been returned. CISAS has been invoked and your CEO will be told . @MoneyTelegraph

  • kevmaslin
    Kev Maslin (@kevmaslin) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia The ideal resolution would have been for VM to return the document as originally promised. We have dealt with other companies in this regard and all have been prompt and professional. Even the DWP accepted a photocopy of the POA. Why VM couldn't is entirely beyond me.

  • Andraay
    Andraay Leung (@Andraay) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia having issues with Wi-Fi at home and your websites including the one on service status checks are not loading? As a result I can’t even report the problem.

  • EvanD
    Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Yes I’ve done that. My connection drops out for a minute or so every 30-60 mins. Hard to replicate. My account has notes regarding the reason why the credit was given last time. Ideally I don’t want to wait so long for the same issue to be fixed.

  • paragaz
    Garry (@paragaz) reported from Streetly, England

    @virginmedia hey. I am trying to speak to someone about my account but turns out nobody recognises my account number. Can you PM me to organise calling me please. I've tried the text message service

    Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia TV completely down this morning ,it’s been intermittent since September nobody helps me just fobbed off. Who is the ombudsman over you I can complain to? I’m no longer prepared to keep paying for services I’m not getting.

    Mad that I pay £71 a month for 350mbps for @virginmedia Broadband for them to only supply me with 40mbps, internet is barely moving, can’t even load basic web pages on my MacBook or phone. Problems in the Birmingham area?

  • stumccullagh

  • BrianMCape
    Brian Cape (@BrianMCape) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Another fail. I've reached out in exasperation since my chase-ups of 14th, 19th and today have been ignored. As have my 5 messages to your local rep who promised to be on hand. If you can't be bothered to help me, I'll just escalate via another route @richardbranson

  • ________Danny
    Satish Danny Paul (@________Danny) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia i logged another complaint 1 to 2 weeks prior and heard nothing back. i was advised by cust service a month ago not to log a formal complaint and log an internal complaint instead

  • stumccullagh
    Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Solihull, England

    @Ofcom can I complain about @virginmedia to yourselves? Had no TV service for nearly a month with no help.

  • BrianMCape
    Brian Cape (@BrianMCape) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia Just to let you know, I've taken the time to write out another complaint via the link. I've submitted and it says 'nothing to see here'. The link says response within 7 days, and the submission says 28 days, and then my portal says I haven't raised a complaint. ANOTHER FAIL

  • stumccullagh
    Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Solihull, England

    The problem in my area B37 has been happening for over a week can’t watch any TV now @virginmedia over £100 a month!! Plus I’ve been waiting 2 years for an internet booster

    @SarahLudford @virginmedia @O2 Yep…sadly the service has declined since the two companies merged. They blocked my account for weeks for ‘ security reasons’. ( I had changed pw & looking for new deals) No one seemed unable to unblock it. Took several phone calls/DM’s/ emails etc.

    @virginmedia Having **** with world cup coverage france and senegal poor picture quality. Pixelating and stammering ..

  • y_alibhai
    Yasmin alibhai-brown (@y_alibhai) reported

    Calling @virginmedia my email system has been 'locked' for five days now. I can't work without access to them . Two calls to you, each took one and a half hour to get through. Promises were made. Not kept. Disgraceful customer care.

  • ukaldo2
    aldo (@ukaldo2) reported

    @virginmedia The service has now been maintained but on us to ensure that's the case. You shouldn't have had one of your sales reps pressure my mother night after night without checking a service could be provided within your budget

  • customerchamp1
    Paul ▶️ (@customerchamp1) reported

    Who remembers when @O2 customer service was good? Since the merger with the appalling @virginmedia it's been absolutely diabolical. Trying to help a vulnerable relative, been on hold for 45 minutes 🤮🤮🤮 to reset his password. Shameful.

    @virginmedia Yes the service stays page says no issues. But the helpline said 24 hours now the chat help saying another 24 hours. Lots of neighbours having the same issue. Can you advise please?
