  • rana_banana Rana Brightman (@rana_banana) reported from London, England

    As customer service standards go, @virginmedia sucks badly. They need to seriously ask themselves, is letting someone wait 45 mins and counting for someone to help with a technical fault acceptable? NO IT ISN’T. HEEEELLLLOOOOO???!! WHEN ARE YOU PICKING UP??!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬

  • 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!

  • jonnijonesdj Jonni Jones GM (@jonnijonesdj) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia hi, whss as t is the best way of contacting you please? New customer and have been ringing for three days, and messaged and chat and had no reply. I’m sure there must be a reason but not sure I’ve ever known a company like it. Thanks jon

  • RaphPH Raph Pour-Hashemi (@RaphPH) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia internet down in BR1 and doesn’t seem to be being investigated ? My test says service impacted.

  • RaphPH Raph Pour-Hashemi (@RaphPH) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Ok so the estimated time of 20:30 fix this evening has been changed to noon tomorrow. How do I claim compensation as I’ve had nothing for a whole day and no one has attempted to fix it despite acknowledging whole area fault.

  • 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?

  • JamesMarsh1974 James Marsh (@JamesMarsh1974) reported from Crayford, England

    Umm is @virginmedia down nationwide or am I just lucky?

  • 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

  • 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......

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

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

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

    Is anyone else having lots of issues with the super hub 4 from @virginmedia. Seems to frequently lose connection and never gets anywhere near the advertised down speeds

  • rob_green86 Rob Green Jnr (@rob_green86) reported from Thundersley, England

    @SpursKS @virginmedia What's the issue

  • peteholbrook Peter Holbrook (@peteholbrook) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia is their an outage in SE London ? I’ve lost everything.

  • 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.

  • pauldurie p2.0 ✊🏻 🏳️‍🌈 #BLM (@pauldurie) reported from London, England

    @OwenJones84 @virginmedia @JeremyVineOn5 Usually a router issue of inefficient switching between bands 2.4GHz and 5GHz Can go into router settings and explicitly set it to 2.4GHz (lower speed/better range) or 5GHz (higher speed/poorer range)

  • 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!

  • 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

  • rana_banana Rana Brightman (@rana_banana) reported from London, England

    @k_co @virginmedia That is insane. Urgh. We’re hostages to **** service with the promise of the fastest speeds ever!!!

    @virginmedia , instead of giving me, a #deaf person, live help using webchat or messenger, have asked me if I have friends who can call them instead. It’s like #equality legislation never happened. #PatOnTheHead

  • steventhilton63 Steve Hilton (@steventhilton63) reported

    @virginmedia @farrenciaran The txt service is great ..you just have to txt wat the problem is about 10 times .

  • StephenHampson Stephen Hampson (@StephenHampson) reported

    @virginmedia No and gone again. It truly is the worst 18 months service from your company. I think the only way to get your attention is to raise a further complaint

  • docmog Morag Reid (@docmog) reported

    @virginhelp @virginmedia Yes - broadband, TV, mobiles, the lot. Do u need me to DM account details? This seems to be recurring issue w blueyonder historic accounts, Virgin server just stops recognising me and my password. It’s a big problem w forthcoming travel - need reliable email access.

  • Bantamdan Danny Cowling (@Bantamdan) reported

    @virginmedia appalling service today. Renewed contract agreed this morning. Contract comes through on email, £25 pm more than agreed. 2 calls to the retention team saying they can't help and hung up.I have agent names but won't shame them on here.Someone in authority call me pls

  • meatandpotato Mark Eatock (@meatandpotato) reported

    @virginmedia There’s nowhere on the link to log a complaint!!! The link shows a page which says if you would like to complain complete the web form on the contact us page?? This doesn’t exist either?Clearly you work on the principal of if we p**s you off enough you won’t be bothered to argue!
