@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

@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?

@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

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

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 🙈

@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.

@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.

@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 ?

@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!

@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

@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.

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.

@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.

A 2nd day of no internet and TV. Terrible service from @virginmedia. Unreliable internet connection for months. Time to move on to BT

@virginmedia LOL! 2 days! How can anyone under the currency circumstances be expected to work from home without internet or poor internet for 2 days... that’s surely not something you should be proud of

@virginmedia The wifi has been down for 15 hours nobody to contact. Getting a pre recorded message saying there’s maintenance in my area originally said it would be sorted by 10pm. How can it not be sorted that’s almost 12 hours ago

@virginmedia No, because it’s impossible to get through customer service. We have logged another complaint in the virgin community forum but this situation is getting ridiculous. I have to use 4G on my phone to attend Teams meetings.

@virginmedia It has to come down to what Virgin Media's definition of a workable service is and what is reasonably acceptable.

@virginmedia hi SB i have registered interest over the years. but your website always shows our street as "connected" yet there is no physical connection on this half of the street. last time i asked two years ago your support told me it was not fanatically profitable to install
