    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......

  • JimboUK71 James Aubrey (@JimboUK71) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @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!

  • jonnijonesdj Jonni Jones GM (@jonnijonesdj) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia hi, whss as t is the best way of contacting you please? New customer and have been ringing for three days, and messaged and chat and had no reply. I’m sure there must be a reason but not sure I’ve ever known a company like it. Thanks jon

  • OlaAgbaimoni Ola Agbaimoni (@OlaAgbaimoni) reported from London, England

    @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!

  • peteholbrook Peter Holbrook (@peteholbrook) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia is their an outage in SE London ? I’ve lost everything.

  • jit_singh99 Jit (@jit_singh99) reported from Romford, England

    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.

  • neiljcdawson Neil Dawson (@neiljcdawson) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    I see you @virginmedia after an hour of waiting you just hang up. This is rubbish

  • Kevin_Panther Kevin Panther (@Kevin_Panther) reported from Swanley, England

    Genuinely think I’ve got the worst WIFI in the country. @virginmedia #Pathetic

  • stephengiles14 Stephen giles (@stephengiles14) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia my service is intermittent and cannot connect to the hub, just not great I have tried to call you but no one is working on the call centre!

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

    @OwenJones84 @virginmedia @JeremyVineOn5 Usually a router issue of inefficient switching between bands 2.4GHz and 5GHz Can go into router settings and explicitly set it to 2.4GHz (lower speed/better range) or 5GHz (higher speed/poorer range)

  • rana_banana Rana Brightman (@rana_banana) reported from London, England

    As customer service standards go, @virginmedia sucks badly. They need to seriously ask themselves, is letting someone wait 45 mins and counting for someone to help with a technical fault acceptable? NO IT ISN’T. HEEEELLLLOOOOO???!! WHEN ARE YOU PICKING UP??!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬

  • yoelbrightman Yoel Brightman (@yoelbrightman) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia having trouble with my broadband speeds having installed hub4 and spent over an hour trying to get through to customer services. Can you help please?

  • JimboUK71 James Aubrey (@JimboUK71) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @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!😡

  • Deborah12474068 Deborah Grace 💙#JohnsonOut#TorySleaze (@Deborah12474068) reported

    @NadineDorries @virginmedia @O2 Are you actually confused by this or do you think tweeting that the EU are responsible for everything will convince the rest of the hard of thinking to support the current so-called govt?

  • GarethKerrigan Gareth Kerrigan (@GarethKerrigan) reported

    @virginmedia Well apart from it taking up an entire room all to itself it's just the WiFi signal is terrible. Barely get a stable connection upstairs or in the next room. Just isn't all that great. How about you send me one of them new shiny hub 5's out to test free of charge obviously.
