  • sharonblaxland Sharon (@sharonblaxland) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia majority of my channels stopped working, picture and sound very distorted about an hour ago, tried rebooting etc still not working. Tried ringing but your too busy and call cuts off 😡

  • alansbrown alan brown (@alansbrown) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia Hardwired is OK Wi-Fi is always rubbish and so can't connect to watch Netflix you tube it to other boxes as V6 primarily use Wi-Fi and not cable. Poor choice. A total waste of my 130 month and thousands on #4k #oled @LGUK TV I bought

  • citigirly lisa sibley (@citigirly) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I have run all the checks and it’s still really slow, can you advise who I contact to resolve this .

  • Pegaso650 Jon Lovett (@Pegaso650) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia There are no faults in my area. The issue is likely to be with the router as the 2.4ghz works consistently on other devices.

  • mikelondonse Mike Keogh (@mikelondonse) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia This is Another box down the bottom of Vicar's hill. Your guys can repair both in the same trip! Enjoy....!

  • Alanpw1955 Alan Wilton (@Alanpw1955) reported from London, England

    @MannersJack @virginmedia Mine’s ok and I’m in London. Maybe it’s a local problem, it happens sometimes.

  • frankroe2 frank #13 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@frankroe2) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia why is so hard to get in contact with you, it’s like you don’t want to help.

  • jdaykin Jerry Daykin (@jdaykin) reported from London, England

    @MichaeljonF Good question... just having a bit of an iffy connection last few weeks. I have a full on Google WiFi Mesh network... tried to iron out a couple of dubious hacks in the system... plus I’ve upgraded the core hub to the Nest WiFi Router now. Starting to suspect it’s Virgin Media 😂

  • PaulGrayburn P͟G͟ t͟w͟e͟e͟t͟s͟ (@PaulGrayburn) reported from Romford, England

    @itsnoel @RantAbulus @virginmedia @Virgin_Victoria Yeah I’m happy with this one. The Hub I had previously was dog shit. Normally get a bit quicker then what Speed Test got tonight, can hit 390Mbps from time to time.

  • thombie123 John Thombs (@thombie123) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia It’s not if you fell short, you guys did fall short . I cancelled my service and it should have been cutoff on the 10th March not the 10th of Feb. all I wanted to here that it was going to be restored. #untrustworthy

  • alansbrown alan brown (@alansbrown) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia I was some time ago but that was because I had entered my number I don't know what number they tried to call as they would not tell me so poor it really is and after 15 years 🤣

  • frankroe2 frank #13 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@frankroe2) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia Our virgin remote has stopped working, tried re pairing and new batteries but won’t turn volume up or down or tv on/off

  • Pegaso650 Jon Lovett (@Pegaso650) reported from Basildon, England

  • woodingian1 Ian Wooding (@woodingian1) reported

    @virginmedia We are now 3 hours in and still no further than we was at 4 o’clock from when we started. You still haven’t told me information you need. You know how to drag this out. Am happy that people can see how you treat a woman who has just lost her husband

  • donnawood483 donnamilton (@donnawood483) reported

    @virginmedia Can someone please help, my 81 year old grandma has been trying to sort an issue out for days...no help or sensible assistance, in a COVID pandemic she has had to go to the bank to get payment details..shocking !!!!

  • Joanne57442452 Joanne (@Joanne57442452) reported

    @virginmedia we have done all that the website has told us to do and yet still no broadband. According to your website there’s no issue and yet clearly there is as internet was working fine about 2 hours ago

  • patricksturg patricksturgis (@patricksturg) reported

    @virginmedia I am supposed to have 500mb broadband but when I am connecting on Zoom, it constantly freezes & I get a message saying I have an unstable connection. I get the same when I am watching streaming tv.

  • robredpath Rob Redpath (@robredpath) reported

    @rachelcoldicutt @virginmedia I’ve got Linksys Velop - it’s about £75 per node (I’ve got 3 nodes, thinking about a 4th to improve a bit of a dead zone). Super easy to set up, and support were patient when I broke it by tinkering. It’s possibly to directly admin but the app is easier. (1/2)

  • LumleyPj PJ Lumley (@LumleyPj) reported

    @virginmedia 4hrs on phone, 4hrs plus on useless txt chat and still not solved my issue. Just going around in circles

  • welsh_girlie me (@welsh_girlie) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Hi have tried on several occasions to get through. Waiting anything from 30-60 minutes. Still having issues. Maybe @virginmedia would be the answer as sky you are useless.

  • aSheedy_ aSheedy 💙 (@aSheedy_) reported

    @The_True_Shires @virginmedia no one ******* likes you fix your internet

  • LRLettings Leigh Rowland (@LRLettings) reported from Pontnewydd, Wales

    @virginmedia I know we are going around in circles here but I have spent 4 hours on instant messenger with you guys...its pointless...u cant help me out...they lied to me, what a complete and utter flawed process..thanku for responding but this is also a waste of my time...

  • Darylmore77 Daryl (@Darylmore77) reported

    @virginmedia I'm basically thinking about cancelling the internet. I've been a customer for 5 years or so and in that time my bill has increased from £32 to £48 per momth from this March despite me lowering my speed from 200 to 100mbp/s. Also my Hub 3's wireless barely even functions.
