  • drummerJ83 Jay Bourley (@drummerJ83) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia Hi thanks already tried lots of this and we've only had the problem for past couple of days so I can't see why it would be an issue with the Ethernet cable or positioning.

  • LawroGardiner Lawrence Gardiner ➡️ (@LawroGardiner) reported from Basildon, England

    @Dianemiddleto @tankhead666 @virginmedia Thanks. I got the text hours after talking to Virgin Media on the phone to activate my hub after a house move. Never had it before. Something not right in their call centres.

  • gorgeousuk anne hill (@gorgeousuk) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Or maybe that’s wishful thinking. Anyway. We will be considering our options over the weekend and I don’t think we will be staying with VM. Bad service is too regular now

  • drummerJ83 Jay Bourley (@drummerJ83) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia Hello, I've tried rebooting the hub and it has made it worse. There was nothing listed on the site as a problem for my area. I can't get through anything on Netflix without 4,5 maybe 6 stops to buffer.

  • Malcy7 Malcolm Saunders (@Malcy7) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia My picture better be ok for tomorrow night, been awful all week on the bt sport channel!!!

  • gorgeousuk anne hill (@gorgeousuk) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia That would imply that I had faith in your services & belief that you cared about your customers. I know from the past that this is not the case. I have already checked and this problem is supposed to be fixed by 3pm, it has been ongoing since 8am. It really is tedious and boring

  • bexhoops Wayne Sumner (@bexhoops) reported from Crayford, England

    @rajeevdatta @RuislipR @virginmedia My problem is...I live right at the furthest point from the bt exchange so by the Time it gets to me it’s as slow as hell..that’s why I went virgin...expensive

  • JennyIllmann Jenny Illmann (@JennyIllmann) reported from London, England

    Lately Virgin Media hasn’t been very good at all. I never used to have issues with it.

  • sharonblaxland Sharon (@sharonblaxland) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia has gone down, no internet and only a few obscure tv channels.... that I’m watching, so I can keep watching telly 😳

  • MrGarySmith Gary Brian Smith (@MrGarySmith) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia @CooperativeBank I’d like you 2 claim back all my DDs from @virginmedia as I’ve not provided me with the services they charge for having to write this via 4g as I can’t connect via BB says try again, did with 4G works fine now. Please also cancel all DDs. now

  • marcsnappy Marc Corn (@marcsnappy) reported from Basildon, England

    Hey @virginmedia you better offer me a better deal tomorrow or else I will be leaving. New customers are always treated better than existing. I know from experience with you guys that this never changes.

  • DebzGlover Debz Glover😜 (@DebzGlover) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia Hi, no service issues in my area according to your website

  • Br00zR Jimmy Dean - on the cover of a magazine (@Br00zR) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia Right. Disconnected for a third time. I’m just going to cancel my direct debit. I don’t have time for this nonsense. You lot sort it out your end.

  • karl_holden Karl Holden (@karl_holden) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia the service is deteriorating. Time to review your performance and reveal the source of your problems before your customer base starts to become even more disenchanted.

  • sheila_lakey Sheila Lakey (@sheila_lakey) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia Due to changed circumstances I need to transfer WiFi into my name. Emailed acc transfer form with I.D on 28/4 - no response. Called you on 22/5 (cost me £22. 26) told this would be chased. On 16/6 Contacted on line chat - useless so called at further cost still no help!

  • gorgeousuk anne hill (@gorgeousuk) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia The deeper check did not work because the internet is down and therefore the check did not work......it’s just so pathetic really

  • claire_m_willia Claire Williams (@claire_m_willia) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia your customer service is an absolute joke won't ever be using you again . Worst customer service ever !!!!!!!!!

  • WUFC2005 Football 4 All (@WUFC2005) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia nothing but issues. 2G & 5G always stops working. Updates happens when ever it feels like. And every time I contact Virgin, it's like talking to a 6 year old.

  • jcarphotography Jason Carlin (@jcarphotography) reported from Romford, England

    @philsteer64 @virginmedia Ditto. Exact same issue

  • gorgeousuk anne hill (@gorgeousuk) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia When you are using your data in your own house so often, have Netflix, Now and Amazon Prime you pay for that you can’t even use when Broadband are down, you have to ask, what the HELL am I doing with a company that can’t provide a basic bloody service.

  • leadwithskill Hilary Gee (@leadwithskill) reported

    @virginmedia The Billings person is escalating to their manager. Why should I have to make multiple calls. Why can't your departments speak to each other? V poor customer service. Collections not working today. Come on Virgin - sort out our business processes and customer service!

  • Mark80679424 porto19 (@Mark80679424) reported

    @virginmedia The forum has offered no help in solving my issues whatsoever! Could you advise what my next steps to resolving the issues mat be?

  • ALongsausage Lord of the rats🐀 (@ALongsausage) reported

    @virginmedia whenever I try phone anyone I am getting an automated message saying I don’t have enough credit, yet I pay for unlimited minutes. How can I fix this?

  • biddymccall Alastair McCall (@biddymccall) reported

    @virginmedia A forum?? Seriously? That's your answer? What is the point of having a social media team? It's all fun and games when you're playing around with other brands, but useless when your actual customers have a problem

  • TracyWa10966334 Tracy Watson (@TracyWa10966334) reported

    @virginmedia Constantly slow speeds and disruption of service despite numerous calls and emails stating bb has been upgraded

    @virginmedia Yes in part, sorted the internet but still missing parts of my package, I had to be transferred to another team but was sat on hold for ages so had to put the phone down as I'm working. I'm going to see if I can do what I need to do via the live chat later
