    @virginmedia is the email down again??

  • kaw7676 Karen Walsh (@kaw7676) reported from Normanton, England

    @virginmedia it’s impossible to contact them with a complaint if you aren’t a customer.

  • John_murphy1 John Murphy (@John_murphy1) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia how do I order a new hub please? My current one loses network access and needs rebooting every hour or so. Not ideal when working from home. There are no known service issues so I’m thinking it’s a hub issue.

  • John_murphy1 John Murphy (@John_murphy1) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia No problem, and thank you for sorting it out quickly. May be worth making sure telephone staff tell customers about call out charges as I had no idea they applied in this situation.

  • goonie2008 Andrew Lee (@goonie2008) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia @O2 Its definitely you lot Robin as your broadband service was a disgrace when I moved to you and I had to pay out for cancelling contract early. If this is what’s to come O2 then you will a customer of over 15 years.

  • cranworth791 Sam Millington (@cranworth791) reported from Rawmarsh, England

    @virginmedia Yeah that’s fine, or just a phone number / person to deal with? It’s my parents business and they have their property engineers coming out to view the issue on Monday. I assume they will be in touch themselves regarding the issues. Luckily it’s just rain water, and not sewage.

  • pidgpie Chris,,,, (@pidgpie) reported from Rotherham, England

  • DaveFincher1984 David Fincher (@DaveFincher1984) reported from Mirfield, England

    @virginmedia currently getting a spinning blue loading circle when trying to access the YouTube app via my v6 box. Any solution you suggest? Been like it for a few days now.

  • Pontemiller Nick Lawton (@Pontemiller) reported from Knottingley, England

    I think very soon I'll be saying 👋 to @ThreeUK and 🤝 to @virginmedia...over the last couple of years, the signal has got increasingly worse. I have just bought a new phone, but the problem persists...really unhappy.

  • chirpyfrances Chirpy Frances (@chirpyfrances) reported from Wakefield, England

    Been through 16 mths of lockdown, 3 working from home & hardly a glitch on the broadband. Last 8wks its gone down for several minutes a day between 10am and 1pm. Only on weekdays & its supposed to be a problem with our hub, really? An engineer could find it @virginmedia #shoddy

  • Sheffield_Boy Marc Riley (@Sheffield_Boy) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia got a flashing Internet light on router that won't go away so my WiFi (and therefore TV/ streaming etc) not working. Tried rebooting, resetting, the works. Online help / faq no help. Are there any issues?

  • GaryFretwell1 Gary Fretwell (@GaryFretwell1) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia I appreciate your advice, but rather than ask fellow customers for a fix I’d rather hope @virginmedia trained staff would be able to rectify this issue. I’ll try the forum, but this is not the way to run a business….@Ofcom

  • leannerains Leanne Rebecca (@leannerains) reported from Sheffield, England

  • ReeceBryan94 Reece Bryan (@ReeceBryan94) reported from Wombwell, England

    @virginmedia how do we get the new wifi extender pods or a new Virgin Hub? Our wifi signal and speed changes dramatically between the front and back of the house, the coverage is dreadful

  • chococlaire77 Claire Stewart (@chococlaire77) reported from Sheffield, England

    Well @virginmedia what a waste of our time today,we booked an engineer in the time slot 8-12,and nobody arrived I’m afraid.Tried contacting you,and can’t get through...can anyone help?

  • ollieinleeds Oliver Dean #TeamLH (@ollieinleeds) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia you must have the most unreliable internet service in the UK. Several times a year it goes down for a full working day. Again today, "Unplanned Outage" yet your van was here within seconds. Unplanned my arse. Compensate my loss of earnings! #poorService

  • giinagii GiinaGii 🐱 (@giinagii) reported from Sheffield, England

    @Condieflyy My virgin media went down this morning too 👀

  • Maggotlaw Paul Magrath = mas.to/ (@Maggotlaw) reported

    Chat asked lots of questions then shut down abruptly. Not a very good ad for a tech co, @virginmedia ! Luckily I have retained a copy of the entire conversation so can prove I have given notice to terminate. Have now been shunted over to WhatsApp.

  • bajeinexile BajanInExile (@bajeinexile) reported

    @virginmedia Scott wasn't the problem who ever was the first person who put me on hold while the "Relations team" did their work has let you down.

  • axj24p AJ (@axj24p) reported

    @virginmedia They was no help, we are stuck till Monday no so unless we get compensation for everything we will be leaving

  • zakbharris Zak Harris (@zakbharris) reported

    @virginmedia Another day wasted for me, outrageous. 7th time I was told an engineer was coming out and never showed up

  • Jo90callingUK Joee 🏳️‍🌈🇬🇧 (@Jo90callingUK) reported

    @virginmedia Me again, EC1V service is still down day 2, we were told it would be back at 8am this morning now possibly 7.30 tonight? I am having to use my phone data which is not something I can't afford to use up. Does anyone have an actual idea when broadband / TV fixed

  • axj24p AJ (@axj24p) reported

    @virginmedia They haven’t called and your automated service can’t let us get to an advisor, please call me back asap, cause we cant wait!!

  • Rachelb105 Rachel Beck (@Rachelb105) reported

    @MikeMaddox10 @bt_uk @virginmedia Sorry you had this experience too; ‘entirely unsatisfactory’ is a description I recognise well. Awful customer service.

  • noyasux noya (@noyasux) reported

    internet has been down for 4 hours. i think its time for me to pick up my sword and reembark on my crusade against virgin media.

  • twopointslost twopointslost (@twopointslost) reported

    @Davidrwkellett @virginmedia Engineers have been to our street and say they have no idea. They said they know it’s bad when teams they’ve never heard of get invoked & can’t fix it. They said to take fix times with a large pinch of salt. The engineer was due here but didn’t turn up no notice of cancellation.

  • nischaymadan Nischay Madan (@nischaymadan) reported from Fingal County, Leinster

    @virginmedia very poor support with wait time of 10 to 20 minutes on 1908 call support
