@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.

@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 Your end time has now moved out another 2 hours to 1800. That is the third time you have extended this outage. It sounds to me like you don’t have a grip on the underlying engineering issues here. Now over 36 hrs without a decent service. @Ofcom

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......

@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 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!

@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!

@virginmedia I’m feeling so frustrated and fed up! I’ve had issues since Wed, when everything went down for 24 hours, now no wireless gadget will work correctly, very weak signal. Spend over an hour waiting fir CS to answer, he told me only option, PIN reset and put phone down!😡

@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 ?

@virginmedia Your service status page says no broadband issues. We have wired connections to the internet but not a single one our devices that were working fine before you started work, can now make wireless connection to our HUB3 WiFi #primary or #guest networks. What have you done ? @Ofcom

@virginmedia I can’t seem to find an email address or postal address for general queries, can you please provide me with one? My nan is now in a care home with dementia and we need to cancel her landline, broadband & mobile on her behalf so need to write to you to give details.

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.

@virginmedia Ok joint bill payer. I don’t use wired so it’s irrelevant. I didn’t take out your service to have Ethernet cables running around my house so why do you keep asking about Ethernet speed? This doesn’t mention wired or wireless for the minimum acceptable speed does it?

Hi @virginmedia can you tell me why I’ve lost internet yet again in SE26? Yes I’ve checked your status page (and it shows everything is fine when the service is actually down). Yes we’ve rebooted the router.

(@ross_abrahams) reported
Seriously how many times do I need to speak with @virginmedia for them to tell my why my broadband installation keeps getting pushed back (nearly 2 months now). I haven't had a single conversation without being passed between 7/8 operatives. Literally the worst customer service.

@virginmedia The irony is we left Virgin after months of struggling with poor connectivity and trying to get a better service. We are both keyworkers and were trying to carry out telehealth and run a social services team during lockdown. Really really poor experience with your company

@SkyHelpTeam Nope. Done that, several times already. Still not heard from sky, not about the shite wifi nor the complaint. I’ll be leaving when I’ve time to call; I’ll expect refund for the weeks of port/no internet whilst waiting for this shitshow to be sorted. @virginmedia @EE any offers?
-
Ross Abrahams
(@ross_abrahams) reported
Not even sure whether I want to stay anymore. And to top it off, as soon as I am offered a single bit of compensation (not worth it at all!), an automated message tells me their offices are shut and they hang up on me. Absolutely awful by @virginmedia

@virginmedia Appreciate your help here. There are only two of us here and it's only me who would do that so I can rule that out.
