    Mark Connolly (@macon1375) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia They advise they would send a signal to router, I then turn off after 5 mins, for 10 mins and when back on all will be working! Well it didnโ€™t make a difference and my speed test shows my downloads dropped from 236mbs to 36. The issue is uploads tho at 0.5mbps. On hold again!

    @virginmedia Though I am dyslexic I have painstakingly done this on multiple devices and have photos to show It - not posting them publicly but it does not recognise that password ๐Ÿ˜ข A search on line suggests the problem is not unique. I have one hour to call the manufacturer if you advice.

    @virginmedia All of our WiFi appliances stopped working at the exact same time. The WiFi keeps trying to connect but just whirls and whirls. No issues with our appliances

    @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 โ€˜faster speedโ€™. Please advise asap - no issues in the area according to your website.

    @virginmedia This seems to be the standard message coming from Virgin Media. โ€œComputer says noโ€. If you canโ€™t see the issue with this then you (Virgin Media) are the problem. Iโ€™m inclined to contact the ombudsman as you have sold me a service which you blatantly cannot provide or install.

  • NickMillerUK
    Nick Miller ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ (@NickMillerUK) reported from South Ockendon, England

    @virginmedia Itโ€™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 itโ€™s all connected.

    @virginmedia I've got no internet and calling 150... Says offices are closed?! Can't access live chat! Won't let me log in! What awful customer service is this?! How do I get through to someone??

  • VenusEnvi
    VenusEnvi (@VenusEnvi) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia whatโ€™s the point of asking me to text when Iโ€™m ready to set up the new hub if your going to deactivate the old one before Iโ€™m ready!! Good job I have unlimited data on my mobile network!!

    @virginmedia I contacted customer services for an update on my iPhone 14 Pro Max. I was informed by your Twitter account I wouldnโ€™t need to send my current phone back until I receive my new one. I was then informed by the gentleman on the phone my new phone wonโ€™t be sent until I send this

    @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

    @MayorofLondon Shame they provide the most terrible customer service and treat you like they've got you by the short and curlies! Pay ยฃ400 a year for a service, custome service agents are like robots and stuff you for days when it doesn't work with no alternative offered! @virginmedia

    @virginmedia Hi, I would like to cancel my recent broadband order. I found a better deal.

  • feyipuk
    Phil (@feyipuk) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia I'm sorry for the two poor support staff who are trying to sell us new remote controls, routers and O2 sims - for more money - till we hit the nuclear option and say we're leaving to get what we're asking? We're loyal customers; why does it need to get to that?

    @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.

    C Morris (@crm_uk) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia Yep ๐Ÿ’ฏ percent. Worst is when the Indian call centre says password is wrong because they don't understand and you're having to break up your English for them ๐Ÿ™ˆ

  • rickta1
    Rick (@rickta1) reported

    @virginmedia @Benleo Generic replies and absolutely unforgivable call centres off shores just to make that bit more money out of millions- all the while providing an awful service!!!!! Leave them like so many of us all have. Loyalty means nothing to them.

  • deputynclegg
    NC (@deputynclegg) reported

    @Benleo @ChrisSleven @virginmedia I concur......Virgin are crap...and I moved to Sky at the earliest chance I could....but can also say Sky aren't much better - and they both make it as difficult as possible to actually talk to someone if you have a problem - I would say though that Virgin are the worst
