  @virginmedia my wifi is terrible, how do i go about getting some boosters so that my signal is as strong as you promise? I can't access the app (thats another unresolved problem!) Also how do i go about receiving the £100 credit that you also promise? Thank you.

  What is going on with the horrific intermittent WIFI connection in SM5 for the past week. Website says there is a problem BUT have to wait til Friday for an engineer. Abysmal performance @virginmedia

  Andee Byford (@BobCratchitt) reported 22 minutes ago from Romford, England

  @virginmedia Yes I have checked the service status, it is the first thing I do & all was fine. The issues is with the cable Ethernet & the phone connection in the Hub 4. I don’t use your WiFi setup as my house is fully cabled for networking. I am a Network Architect, so have done basic tests

  @virginmedia I've been having problems with my phoneline and it is currently dead, can't make or receive calls. An engineer came on Friday but its still not working. Charges have been appearing on my phone bill for calls I have not made. This has happened twice since November.

  @virginmedia There is a blockage, that I know - I have had no service since November. I was told it would not be sorted before March 6th. I had been promised 3 call backs from different people in the Exec Department - none have followed up.

  @virginmedia 8/ have to pay if it came down to a third party router intimating that the fault was mine. No appointment till Thursday! I tried to explain that I care for an elderly lady and he wouldn't let me speak and kept interrupting me which was incredibly rude. I advised him to let me

• 
  DragonFish 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇮🇹 (@discobabe76) reported 34 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia No as I look after an elderly lady with parkinsons on Thursdays which means she doesn't get to get out of the house if I don't see her. So it's booked in for Friday. What help doninhave till then? Or reimbursement? I'm free every day after 3pm & I'm free Tuesday all day

  @virginmedia You are no longer my ISP due to your incompetence. Also there will be a lawsuit pending due to the fact I almost died from pneumonia with pulmonary oedema and sepsis later going into stage 2 respiratory failure. Your useless service is unacceptable.

  DragonFish 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇮🇹 (@discobabe76) reported 51 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia 9/ speak but he kept interrupting me. He had no help for me for having no internet for 6 days. He kept sighing and refused to put me through to anyone who could offer anymore help.

  @MartinSLewis Virgin Media wifi been unstable since June 2020. Virgin Media never resolved the problem caused me to lose hundreds of £'s. Made me lose my PIP. Virgin made me pay double because they kept charging me twice most months. They've made me lose half my PC Guarantee

  Be careful if you ever want to cancel a @virginmedia account, I wrote to them, twice as per their T&C because you can never get through on chat or phone, they deny receipt of letters because you cant send recorded delivery so they just keep sending bills and chasing payments

  @Mattallwright 2 years on since I have been having trouble with Virgin Media (fingers crossed) they may have now get an uninterrupted supply after charging me late payments more than double my Media prices whilst as a Vulnerable Person they were awful

  @rpd_pacer @virginmedia Sad rule applies, comms companies are truly awful at comms and fixing stuff.

• 
  Vicky Leigh (@vickiferris) reported 3 minutes ago

  I call customer services and then told oh they do 360 boxes for existing customers but if it worked OK then the box was fine. However the email says the boz will work and look OK until it doesn't so I ask for a replacement or engineer to check it (4) @virginmedia

• 
  Jade Fairclough (@_jadebrady) reported 4 minutes ago

  @virginmedia down for 9 hours now, only fixed in 24 - 48 hours. In today’s world where everything relies on internet this is really appalling service. If you had prior warning there was an outage expected you can prepare but to have it off for so long is ridiculous

• 
  marc (@bighandsmassuer) reported 10 minutes ago

  @virginmedia all I wanted was a new contract, after 16 years I thought it would be quite straight forward Oh no, the 3 customer service people I spoke to were useless Great way to run a business

• 
  Crafty (@ACraftyOne) reported 14 minutes ago

  @virginmedia This is the problem I have 5-6 responses from your incompetent customer service team. I have requested a deadlock letter which they refuse to provide. Just to clarify that it is a scam. I paid for the service on my contract as shown, now you are charging me twice.

  @JaneVCarroll @virginmedia I agree Jane weve been with Virgin Media years always had good customer service always helpful when you ring them too

• 
  Carrie (@IamCarrieagain) reported 20 minutes ago

  @virginmedia You turned off my router remotely and you can turn it back on until I am well enough to deal with trying to set up the new one. Thought of indirect discrimination under EA 2010? How about the fact your were not up front about your service changes/consequences too?
