  Richard Noble (@Richard09499442) reported 10 seconds ago from South Ockendon, England

  @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.

  @virginmedia Terrible service from you these last two weeks! I have spent more than 4hrs on the phone to Asian based O2, and Virgin call centres who never help or process things. Also Capita in South Africa… Why do you use foreign call centres if they cannot do the job!!

  Pippa Crowther (@getpipfit) reported 11 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @AnnG50707311 @virginmedia I always haggled with them and got them to come in at new customer prices. Surprising what they will give you when you let them think you are leaving. Also let them know what other companies will offer you to become a customer as they may match the offer

  @virginmedia 6 days since moving to Virgin, we are having issues, the WiFi won't reach our outside cameras. After completing the troubleshooting guides + waiting for over an hour for a chat agent + 30 mins on the phone, we still haven't spoken to a human....not impressed

  @virginmedia It just says, it looks like you are having trouble connecting

  Nick Miller 🇺🇦 (@NickMillerUK) reported 39 minutes ago from South Ockendon, England

  @virginmedia It’s everything downstream of the LAN ports, so wifi on the box is on and working but all his wired network is offline. I have asked him to check all the cabling to make sure it’s all connected.

  @virginmedia Yes I have chased and chased and spent 4 hours today on WhatsApp, no advise just can't help because I have outstanding bill....no the line isn't active because it was ported over to Community Fibre on 8th July

  Jay Bourley (@drummerJ83) reported 45 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia Hi. Have no wifi (green light) and despite rebooting several times have a had no luck. This has happened after following your instruction to reboot for ‘faster speed’. Please advise asap - no issues in the area according to your website.

  Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported 45 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  @virginmedia You’ve now sent me the same unhelpful link about compensation 3 times. This will only compensate me if I have no service, and as I have a service (albeit 3mbps) this, as I’ve repeated several times, doesn’t help me. Another example of poor customer service

  @virginmedia Hi VM, I ordered a replacement remote control for my TIVO box. Just realised that was a couple of months ago but it never came. When trying online again it says as I’ve had one within six months I can’t order another. Please check that the first was ever sent, thanks

  grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported 47 minutes ago from Thundersley, England

  @virginmedia A number of times. But let’s be honest, they’re nothing but messengers. There is no escalation, and they can’t even call the construction company to escalate issues. As someone who has worked within many projects teams, and mapped business processes, yours is simply shocking

  @virginmedia It has been almost 30 years since he was a new customer... 🙃

  Dr Andrew Fleming 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Andrew007Uk) reported 50 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @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.

  @thorogodies @Missbwattie @virginmedia We don’t have many problems with ours, surprised you do, as you’re only round the corner, must be a box problem.

  Penny Rolfe nee Acres (@wonky1961) reported 53 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  @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

  @virginmedia They haven’t got through to anyone to cancel it yet?

  Dr Amir Hamid (@DrAmirHamid) reported 7 minutes ago

  @virginmedia we have not had broadband since the 11th of June! You estimate it will only be fixed on the 16th. With no other communications. Very very poor

• 
  Julybird (@Julybird) reported 11 minutes ago

  @y_alibhai @virginmedia Change your internet provider. Or ring their cancellation number and they'll likely push heaven and earth to help you then. If they don't, definitely change. I was with them years ago, absolute rubbish of a service.

• 
  Joe Farrugia 🇬🇧🇲🇹🇪🇺 (@JoeFarrugia) reported 14 minutes ago

  Being messed up by @virginmedia. 1st we were never told the old box must be returned then they charge £90 for not returning it. Trying to get this sorted is such a hassle. You’re told one thing, nothing gets done then you’re told something else.

  joey blower (@joeyblower) reported 18 minutes ago

  @y_alibhai @virginmedia What makes you special? Nothing especially after your comments on that poor baby and his caught and convicted killers! I’m guessing your award wasn’t for reading the room? You should never be seen on screen again

  I guess @virginmedia hardware can't handle a little rain? No wonder they go down so much in Scotland -_-

  Gaz (@yerwhit) reported 20 minutes ago

  @EpicLastSong @virginmedia My virgin Internet signal dropped out all the time, after being told to restart several times, I bought a tp-link router and used the virgin one as a modem, no problem after that.

• 
  GingaGill💙👩🏻‍🎓😷  (@GingaGill) reported 20 minutes ago

  @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.

• 
  Legal Eagle. (@ACLegalServices) reported 22 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I am seriously thinking of leaving Virgin after 25 years or so as you are about to double my bill to £62.00 a month for speeds of 120mbps. Any recommendations to replace them with a reliable service, that I have had with Virgin. Difficult to talk to them on phone

• 
  Dr Laura Jenkins (@LauraJks2015) reported 22 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Hi. How do I find out how long an outage is going to be? WiFi is currently off and I’ve reset everything so I’m guessing it’s a network issue.
