  @virginmedia any chance you can get your website to work? Change Package Chat does nothing! Links sent via mail do not work! Hyperlink sent by text doesn’t work! Call centre (working from home in India?) worse than useless! Ever heard of Customer Centric design? #Useless

  Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported 8 minutes ago from Aveley, England

  @TracyWoodley4 @virginmedia @Virgin Their service has certainly gone down hill and this issue with the call centre is a complete farce. If they can't even get their own internal systems sorted as a telecomms company what hope do we have? My contract is up in March and I will defo be leaving Virgin.

  Andee Byford (@BobCratchitt) reported 24 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

  @MartinSLewis Virgin Media wifi been unstable since June 2020. Virgin Media never resolved the problem caused me to lose hundreds of £'s. Made me lose my PIP. Virgin made me pay double because they kept charging me twice most months. They've made me lose half my PC Guarantee

  rachel Wheelhouse 🇺🇦 (@RWheelhouse1) reported 54 minutes ago from Chelmsford, England

  @virginmedia 6 days since moving to Virgin, we are having issues, the WiFi won't reach our outside cameras. After completing the troubleshooting guides + waiting for over an hour for a chat agent + 30 mins on the phone, we still haven't spoken to a human....not impressed

  Misbah (مصباح) (@DocMeezbah) reported 4 minutes ago

  @youfibre Well, I have WiFi connection promising 1800 Mbps. Why would I check WiFi speed on Ethernet wire? Last time I checked with @virginmedia it was almost 1Gbps for the promise of the same! #Service is simply not as promised!

  KopiteinPoland (@KopiteinPoland) reported 7 minutes ago

  I never had issue with @o2 until they merged with virgin media. Now I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone. You try and use the website, pages don’t load. Information isn’t available. How do you keep on top of your account. #awfulservice #neveragain

  @CheekyVic @virginmedia Their broadband etc is top notch for me tbh, so fast and reliable but when I’ve had an issue their customer service has been truly ******* abysmal, they clearly don’t learn do they?

  @virginmedia your app and customer service are absolutely dreadful. I only want to change a direct debit date for Christs sake.

  Expanse Consulting Ltd (@ExpanseCon) reported 23 minutes ago

  @MartinXTweets @VodafoneIreland Not a vodafone issue. Looks like a core switch failure, optical cross-connect fault or other fault inside one of the central carrier-neutral hubs. It has dropped interconnection across multiple fixed ISPs (Virgin Media, Eir, Siro, NBI) simultaneously.

  @Suzanne46462413 @virginmedia I get that all the time until I realised it was because for some stupid reason they block anyone not in the UK. Are you outside the UK?
