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

    Hey @virginmedia when will you be upgrading the #VirginMediaConnect App to be compatible with your #Hub4 routers ? They’ve been out at least a year now and I can no longer manage my network through the app.

  • adiesmith64 ⚒Adrian Smith⚒ (@adiesmith64) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @KAYI50747133 @virginmedia Yep how you have explained it is exactly the same for me, have tried my 2nd box upstairs but the same problem!

  • LonesomeJay Looney (@LonesomeJay) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia, when I call to terminate, and I'm informed that I could have been paying 26 quid a month less for the same package, the knowledge that my current rate is a con makes me less likely to stay

  • AViTSCJ Scott Jackson (@AViTSCJ) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia why is it when you request cancellation of service via phone and getting cut off mid call , then sending and email and also trying to chase via web chat which I also sent my request for cancellation and then move out two months later . They keep the account open 🤬

  • suzywotz ꧁༒☬𝓢𝓾𝔃𝔂𝔀𝓸𝓽𝔃☬༒꧂ 🌷🐼🎪⭐️👸🏽 (@suzywotz) reported from Gravesend, England

    @JooMarsden @virginmedia It appears it’s gotta be all our road .. surely others have reported an issue too hence it needs to be addressed rapidly lots of stressed and angry customers I’d imagine #notimpressed

  • clairevnugent Claire Nugent (@clairevnugent) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia Absoutley disgusting customer service today, was sent round the same bot telling me to do the same things for half an hour before getting to a chat where the helper decided to take their lunch break in the middle of it and expected me to wait!!

  • damienk11 Damien Kelly (@damienk11) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia broadband service in Greenwich London is shocking, hasn't been working for 1 week now and when I've rang customer services multiple times, all they try to do is up-sell me on their other more expensive packages. Terror to think we pay for this service!!!!

  • suzywotz ꧁༒☬𝓢𝓾𝔃𝔂𝔀𝓸𝓽𝔃☬༒꧂ 🌷🐼🎪⭐️👸🏽 (@suzywotz) reported from Gravesend, England

    @JooMarsden @virginmedia I truly have never experienced anything like this before , there’s gonna be a launch here soon … this router out my bloody window and I couldn’t give a toss where it touches down @richardbranson it certainly won’t be a safe landing where’s our service we are paying for ?

  • CharrLady_ Athaina (@CharrLady_) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia We've been told it's down to a power outage, so area fault.

  • hairydalek ⭐️ 🇪🇺 Paul ⭐️ Dunning 🇪🇺 ⭐️ (@hairydalek) reported from Writtle, England

    Sadly, the @horror_channel catchup service isn’t on @virginmedia , which is a total bummer.

  • AdiStaempfli Adi Staempfli (@AdiStaempfli) reported from London, England

    After 10 years with @virginmedia , & after weeks of terrible WiFi & customer service, I asked they equal BT’s deal. Operator could not do that and would not let me talk to manager, nor send a message for call back. I asked x3. Operator terminated call. Poor service!

  • briggsym matt (@briggsym) reported from Wickford, England

    @virginmedia broadband speeds are awful - who should I go with @SkyUK or @BTGroup

  • jim_dawes James Dawes (@jim_dawes) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia WiFi is down in the London SE7 area yet again - that's the 3rd time this month. What's the 'engineering fault' this time, eh? Is it incompetance, apathy or a combination of the two? When will my service be resumed???

  • AdiStaempfli Adi Staempfli (@AdiStaempfli) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Rather loose a long-standing customer then?

  • clairevnugent Claire Nugent (@clairevnugent) reported from Romford, England

    And on top of this I’ve been on a chat to complain about what happened and I’ve been made to wait over an hour for a wait time of “fifteen minutes”. This is a paid service! Never use virgin media for broadband, I’m fuming 😤

  • markandall Mark O'Brien (@markandall) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia 4.45 on Saturday evening you text me to move my install from Monday 9am to some day in 3 weeks time .. And now no one available to help?

  • EthanChapples Ethan Chapples (@EthanChapples) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia is there an issue with internet in CR4? Had no connection for the past hour?

  • MissFayeRay FClay (@MissFayeRay) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia FYI - the service status on your website/app says there is no broadband issues, but when I go onto troubleshooting with intermittent WiFi, it says there’s a big problem in my area. Not overly helpful, have been trying for a couple of hrs to fix ourselves 🙄

  • spmechanicsp Sathya Prasanth (@spmechanicsp) reported

    What’s happening with Virgin media @virginmedia last weekend 2days complete blackout. This weekend again the blackout started in GU51 area.

  • nhwhite1 Nick White (@nhwhite1) reported

    @virginmedia Neither of these give any information. We have an engineer booked for Thursday, which is hopeless. I was sent a link to check the latest and to report if we had no broadband. That tells me there are no issues and there is nowhere to report a total loss

  • EGrinys Evaldas Grinys (@EGrinys) reported

    @virginmedia no internet for last 3 weeks in G1 area. Router flashing red. Did factory reset and everything else what’s says on website. Still no internet. Can You send a technician to fix it?

  • JoanneBircsak Joanne 🎿♥️ (@JoanneBircsak) reported

    @virginmedia Can we resolve this issue today? Please. I'm away at the moment, and it's in my thoughts daily.

  • sauntimo Tim Saunders (@sauntimo) reported

    @virginmedia I don't think you've read the rest of the thread. My problem is that I'm getting 400mbps next to the hub when I should be getting 1130. The wi-fi issues are secondary.

  • milescook Miles (He) 🏎 🔶🇺🇦🌻 (@milescook) reported

    Call from @virginmedia today. Them: There's a problem with malicious traffic to your router. Me: Ok...seems fine? Ok, can you run a speed test 100mbs down, 10 up, 20ms ping Yeah but you should be getting more on your plan Me: Ok, what plan am I on? :hangs up: 🤨🧐

  • WsStephenson william stephenson (@WsStephenson) reported

    "Virgin Media" You phone to leave at the end of your contract and they then **** it up overcharge you and give you the run around. Virgin Media are a bunch of eejits.

  • graciegirlracer Grace Mitchell 💙 (@graciegirlracer) reported

    @Nakedterry @virginmedia They did this to me. I got them to listen to the call where it’s clear that I cancelled. I hear this is very common. They don’t tell you to advise on writing, try to sell you better package and don’t cancel your service.

  • me_marifi Marifi (@me_marifi) reported

    @virginmedia 2nd call was an obvious scam, not from you. Claiming I had tech issues. I asked them who they thought I was several times as they didn’t use my name, they hung up. My concern is the timing of that call. Freaky coincidence, or an inside leak?

  • Anstice_PH Anstice PryseHawkins (@Anstice_PH) reported

    @virginmedia why'd you hang up on me? I was just checking the cable like you asked and you hung up?
