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

  Mark Connolly (@macon1375) reported 5 minutes ago 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 didn’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 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!!

  @virginmedia hope you can help please! Our router is a hub 3. It has a constant red light. It’s not over heating, I’ve done multiple hard resets. Any suggestions? Do I need a new router?

  @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

  @virginmedia This seems to be the standard message coming from Virgin Media. “Computer says no”. If you can’t see the issue with this then you (Virgin Media) are the problem. I’m inclined to contact the ombudsman as you have sold me a service which you blatantly cannot provide or install.

  Gerry (@guinnessaddick) reported 38 minutes ago from Dartford, England

  @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.

  Sharon Hills 💗 (@Gertie58) reported 39 minutes ago from Dartford, England

  @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

  Pippa Crowther (@getpipfit) reported 42 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia we have had no Internet or TV since yesterday afternoon/evening. Service checker seems down and unable to log into my virgin media as just spins or says unavailable SM1 1RB please advise.

  @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 hello Merry Christmas. If any one is there today so you know 8f the e mails are down as from early this morning it keeps asking me to put in mu password and then not recognising it but won't let me re set either and I can't send or receive any e mails :(

• 
  Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported 54 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  @virginmedia I’ve sorted the issue. But now there’s no way of cancelling the engineer! Can’t get through on phone. Appointment isn’t showing on their account, so can’t cancel there. WhatsApp is useless - been waiting for an Agent to be available since about 1pm!

• 
  Andee Byford (@BobCratchitt) reported 58 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

  NUFCR (@NUFCR2) reported 4 minutes ago

  @DeviateDefiant @virginmedia @MoneySupermkt They did this to me last year so I just phoned up and said exactly what you’ve said here, why should my price go up when new customer prices are going down. Woman on the phone matched the promo rate 👍🏻

• 
  jpk (@jpk44092120) reported 5 minutes ago

  @DeviateDefiant @virginmedia @MoneySupermkt I’ve just left them for exactly the same reason. My contract had ended and they upped my package by £79 and said they couldn’t do it cheaper but new customers were the same price as my old one. No loyalty to a long standing customer

  THE Rev. Quantum Bigfoot ♿️ #FLTG OG Anti-RGB OAP (@RevQntmBigfoot) reported 6 minutes ago

  @sephiroth17181 @virginmedia That’s the problem I have. WAN port on the Asus router I have is only 1GbE but the LAN ports are 2.5GbE (& can’t switch WAN port to one of the LAN ports for some reason).

• 
  Peter Miller (@PeteinExeter) reported 7 minutes ago

  @virginmedia absolutely disgusting that we have no tv or broadband until tomorrow afternoon. I can’t wait to move house so we never have to use you again !!

  @virginmedia when are you going to fix the broadband issue in ub9 6be? It’s been dreadful since Monday 20th July

  Nathan Bhangoo (@NathanBhangoo) reported 20 minutes ago

  @virginmedia your customer support system is actually the worst I've ever heard, this guy was just not understanding what I was explaining to him like I was from another planet or something and kept on saying get a refund when I told him I'm paying for a university package, smh

• 
  Michael Davies (@snaggygecko) reported 26 minutes ago

  @virginmedia can not believe that a agent wanted to factory reset the router when a customer calls up with an issue he I have a errors on bbc and slow speeds , even though I work for virgin media . Absolute nightmare need to get a engineer out to resolve the issue

  Dr Brian O'Connor (@boconnorchest) reported 29 minutes ago

  @Rugby_Scoop @virginmedia I can understand ungracious losers, but being ungracious winners is bizarre. I was beginning to like NZ rugby; now we are back to the one-eyed arrogance of the spear-tackle era. Colin Meads & Ken Catchpole incident will forever be a stain on Kiwi rugby. SA v NZ, who to support?

  @Rugby_Scoop @virginmedia Ireland Derangement Syndrome on full display. Pointing out that a shoulder to the head, where the arm was pre-tucked, should have been a red card, and that slapping the ball down when there was a 2 vs 1 on the outside, should not send a grown-*** man into a fit of hysterics.
