  • JimboUK71 James Aubrey (@JimboUK71) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia I have a hub 3. I’ve used the app and it acknowledges black spots in the bedrooms, within 20 ft of router. I got a link for a free booster, but the link was dead. I need help to get these issues sorted. CS. are uncontactable. There are no more trouble shooting steps left!

  • FatherFantaskis Dave Taskis (@FatherFantaskis) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia Your end time has now moved out another 2 hours to 1800. That is the third time you have extended this outage. It sounds to me like you don’t have a grip on the underlying engineering issues here. Now over 36 hrs without a decent service. @Ofcom

  • keldaaa Kelda🥤 (@keldaaa) reported from Canvey Island, England

    @virginmedia I can’t seem to find an email address or postal address for general queries, can you please provide me with one? My nan is now in a care home with dementia and we need to cancel her landline, broadband & mobile on her behalf so need to write to you to give details.

  • JimboUK71 James Aubrey (@JimboUK71) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia I’m feeling so frustrated and fed up! I’ve had issues since Wed, when everything went down for 24 hours, now no wireless gadget will work correctly, very weak signal. Spend over an hour waiting fir CS to answer, he told me only option, PIN reset and put phone down!😡

  • OlaAgbaimoni Ola Agbaimoni (@OlaAgbaimoni) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Hi please send an engineer to my house to sort out the useless Hub 4 box that replaced my reliable and efficient Hub 3. I have asked the community for a solution and they say get engineer out to separate the 2 and 5 GEXT. Fed up of paying good £ for a crap service!

  • moebius1967 ron palmer (@moebius1967) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    I'm having real trouble cancelling my Virgin media account. Cant6v chat them, can't email them now on hold for 10 minutes. Just want to end the contract give 30 days notice. New promotion only for new customers. Wtf?

  • JimboUK71 James Aubrey (@JimboUK71) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia I’d gladly text for some help! Off tomorrow, have the time. 😎

  • FatherFantaskis Dave Taskis (@FatherFantaskis) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia 4pm today. That’s a 36 hour outage, that has been extended from the original 12 hour estimate - so something has clearly gone horribly wrong. And your service pages me a 404 error when I try and register for loss of service.

  • FatherFantaskis Dave Taskis (@FatherFantaskis) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia Your phone line is saying you do. You had the system out of service for an area update for 24hours now. Who does that ?

  • AshleyRix1 Rixy (@AshleyRix1) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia your internet is a disgrace I’m defo leaving use tomorrow every single day I have problems with use and I don’t do anything about it constantly taking money every month and I don’t get what I pay for

  • yoelbrightman Yoel Brightman (@yoelbrightman) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia having trouble with my broadband speeds having installed hub4 and spent over an hour trying to get through to customer services. Can you help please?

  • Kevin_Panther Kevin Panther (@Kevin_Panther) reported from Swanley, England

    Genuinely think I’ve got the worst WIFI in the country. @virginmedia #Pathetic

  • jit_singh99 Jit (@jit_singh99) reported from Romford, England

    I’m a new customer with @virginmedia. Should be getting 200MB download. But literally move 2/3 meters away from router and it drops significantly and device is just buffering. Furthermore trying to resolve this via ur call centre is a joke. Been on hold for 50mins now.

  • stephengiles14 Stephen giles (@stephengiles14) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia my service is intermittent and cannot connect to the hub, just not great I have tried to call you but no one is working on the call centre!

  • FatherFantaskis Dave Taskis (@FatherFantaskis) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia Your service status page says no broadband issues. We have wired connections to the internet but not a single one our devices that were working fine before you started work, can now make wireless connection to our HUB3 WiFi #primary or #guest networks. What have you done ? @Ofcom

  • neiljcdawson Neil Dawson (@neiljcdawson) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    Props to Lee on the social media team at @virginmedia for resolving our broken internet and telly services

  • neiljcdawson Neil Dawson (@neiljcdawson) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    I see you @virginmedia after an hour of waiting you just hang up. This is rubbish

  • FatherFantaskis Dave Taskis (@FatherFantaskis) reported from Romford, England

    @Mikeyhcm @virginmedia Not only that but our router popped back up for 10 mins yesterday and must have had a firmware update pushed down to it, because my old iPhone refuses to connect to wireless now (despite having iOS14) and other iPhones in house being OK. No telling truth.

  • KrLwsn Karl Lawson (@KrLwsn) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Please could you arrange for a customer service advisor to call me. I've been holding 56 minutes, and my line was cut off while speaking to a member of your team. Feel free to DM me for more information.

  • moebius1967 ron palmer (@moebius1967) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    Had a real problem with Virgin media. Was paying this month's bill when Virgin had a problem as with its auto payment service and the payment couldn't be processed. I then tried again via their website and the payment went through......

  • 44Kurmay guler_mehmet (@44Kurmay) reported

    @virginmedia This became a regular issue since we we’re fooled to get our hub replaced with a so called better hub…this is a daily issue that we have been forced to deal with…we don’t enjoy it,why do I have to check out your pages to see if there is an issue…do u have issues all the time.

  • forsythe_emma Emma Scott (@forsythe_emma) reported

    @virginmedia Still doesn’t explain the poor customer service that you provide

  • MrHunterUK Hunter (@MrHunterUK) reported

    @virginmedia That’s the problem, did not let me speak, over spoke me, would not let me explain anything asked to speak to a manager but as always never one available I did ask if I was on mute because he was not listening to me and asked to raise a complain as per C ref number

  • ninapez Neen (@ninapez) reported

    @virginmedia The wifi has been out for over 24 hours now and same for my neighbours. Yes I have and once again there are service issues. I work at home so I don’t know what you expect your customers to do and why Acton specifically seems to suffer a service cut multiple times a week

  • 44Kurmay guler_mehmet (@44Kurmay) reported

    @virginmedia Last time when I brought the issue to their attention they just advised me to switch the hub off and back on again which became my regular activity nowadays (it doesn’t help most of the time by the way)

  • Paulhighbury Paul (@Paulhighbury) reported

    @virginmedia I did as I was asked. I tried the sim card in a phone in a Vodafone shop, still not working, confirmed by shop personnel. All call centre staff refusing to escalate, called twice #richardbranson

  • damawa42 Daniel W (@damawa42) reported

    @virginmedia Of course it's not listed, it never is! That's why I have to waste my time and your time asking you on here. Please tell me if there are reported faults and open fix tickets in NW3

  • DonaldMacleod01 Donald Macleod (@DonaldMacleod01) reported

    @virginmedia It says there are issues. Your support staff say there aren’t

  • rossi_rossi 👮🏻‍♂️ Sheriff J.B. Rossiterd IV ⭐️ (@rossi_rossi) reported

    Hi @virginmedia Virgin Go been awful last couple of days - buffering, fuzzy pic and out of sync. BS37 is postcode. Are there any service issues, there was start of week but thought it was resolved?

  • turbozillaa Luke (@turbozillaa) reported

    @virginmedia I checked last night and there was issues and said that it will be rectified by 4pm today. Think I'm going to call and ask about cancellation on my account
