  • Inactive95 Neil (@Inactive95) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia Your internet is still coming and going away. I need a tech out here to fix the problem as WiFi is connecting but no access to internet.

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

    @PippaCrerar @virginmedia If you're using a Virgin router I would buy another one as they're useless Main issue I found was they don't switch between 2.4GHz/5GHz very well If you want stronger signal then switch off 5GHz

  • StaceyRebekka Stacey Karlsson (@StaceyRebekka) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia No. We still don’t have any internet or TV and haven’t spoken to anyone. @VodafoneUK have sorted us out with extra mobile data. Can you share an email address so I can make a formal complaint please.

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

    @westbrookdanni @virginmedia Up to 2 weeks ago I didn't have a bad word to say about them. The pure fact you can't get through to someone is the worst of it. Happy to take your money and trim your internet speeds!

  • PeterToohey Peter (@PeterToohey) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    Don’t ya love your tv being down for the whole day during lockdown. Always the same with virgin media.

  • TheRealMrDrew G (@TheRealMrDrew) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia That issue fixed itself. However, this evening we're getting the same problem. This has been going on for the past week on and off. I'm now told that the issue is estimated to be fixed by 2pm tomorrow - the service we've received from Virgin has been particularly poor of late

  • StaceyRebekka Stacey Karlsson (@StaceyRebekka) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia The engineer didn’t turn up today. I’ve been on hold for hours and still have no services. Please can someone help us?

  • mariobucolo Mario Bucolo (@mariobucolo) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia continue to having problems on broadband se6 london. 1 hr waiting someone answer at the phone or on chat. I seriously think to cancel my contract

  • chrisMU19 Chris (@chrisMU19) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I’m having issues connecting to WiFi this morning. Phone said I had weak security. I updated the security online, the warning message has gone but WiFi still not working. Can you assist please?

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

    @bushontheradio Trying to get through to Virgin media to cancel the contract. Bloody chatbot isn't worth a ****

  • tonywiseman1976 Tony Wiseman (@tonywiseman1976) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia The auto response system is terrible & apparently someone should have responded to my refund query & guess what? No one has bothered.

    Virgin media users any issues 😣?

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

    Hey @virginmedia you’ve been messing with our broadband in #RM11 for long enough. Get a grip, #revert the failed change and give us back our service. Why do this mid week when people are #WorkingFromHome ? Do it at a weekend.

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

    Anyone else really struggling with slow speeds over the last 10 days with @virginmedia. It's been spot on for 2 years now and then 10 days it seems something has happened. Lucky to get over 10Mb now 🙈

  • Andrew007Uk Dr Andrew Fleming (@Andrew007Uk) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    .@virginmedia - my internet is faulty, your automated help is not helping, you call centre is closed and I have never been able to make your on line services work since you involuntarily ceased paper based communications. Please can someone get in touch?

  • mariobucolo Mario Bucolo (@mariobucolo) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia still having problems in sE6 london

  • chrisMU19 Chris (@chrisMU19) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia I’ve had no internet for 6 hours. I’ve followed all online steps to fix it and none of them worked. Been on hold to 150 for 2 hours now. Can someone please assist?

  • kilomilesy colin miles (@kilomilesy) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia 11 days without a landline and 17 texts giving a time and date estimating the fix to be done by and failed every time. Oh well let’s see what tomorrow brings! Crap Virginmedia

  • tonywiseman1976 Tony Wiseman (@tonywiseman1976) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I have better things to do with my time than phoning @virginmedia The system should pick up on this. Virgin’s system is quick to chase me regarding the return of a bloody hub. Absolutely atrocious service.

  • KayWorboys Worboys Writes (@KayWorboys) reported

    @beatieedney @virginmedia I’m hearing you. I’ve wasted HOURS on the phone - when I get put through I’m on hold for 45 mins listening to their **** tinny music - then they lie to me about porting my landline number. The online chat is a joke - they lie to and nothing gets done. Twitter team pointless.

  • CirclePlanner The Circle Planner (@CirclePlanner) reported

    @virginmedia my wifi is so bad I’m considering paying BT £39 for a month because it pops up on my screen every 90 seconds when your wifi drops out. Impossibly frustrating while WFH/homeschooling and it’s costing me £54 a month. Would LOVE to get it fixed😩

  • trrhodes Ross Rhodes (@trrhodes) reported

    @ShelaghFogarty Not a bank, but Virgin Media’s always the worst one for me. Find myself waiting a long time to ever start a conservation with them.

  • DinuHir Dinesh hirani (@DinuHir) reported

    @virginmedia Wot service

  • LukeWorlock Tweedle Dun Dee (@LukeWorlock) reported

    Has anyone actually been on the phone to virgin media sales team? My f*cking god I could have shot myself!! @virginmedia when I was that shocked of how bad his service was I asked him for his full name and he hung up on me! Wow! I just wanted to upgrade- was impossible to do so.

    @virginmedia Fact is you lot are scam artists and keep putting up your prices up for loyal customers. Can't get through to anyone and have had no call back from your customer service after i was told i would - THAT WAS 3 MONTHS AGO!!!

  • Bart_Glowacki Bart Glowacki (@Bart_Glowacki) reported

    @punkymoose @virginmedia Exactly! Well, the service I get from @SkyUK is much better. So thank you for making me switch..

  • PaulCaw24287804 Paul Cawley (@PaulCaw24287804) reported

    @virginmedia since upgrading my package to the ultimate I have nothing but issues. The internet is terrible and slower, xbox keeps lagging tv freezes. No signal on my mobile. Terrible customer service been on hold over an hour. Extremely poor service Virgin.
