  • 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.

  • 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

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

    Virginmedia Rotherham some with no internet and no TV known issues in the area 6pm fix time

  • 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

  • zackwynj zack jones (@zackwynj) reported from Mirfield, England

    why’s my wifi still **** @virginmedia

  • 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

  • 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 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.

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

    @Condieflyy My virgin media went down this morning too 👀

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

    @SkyHelpTeam went to renew our sky package and they quote us £99 for new package deal bye bye sky il cancel our sky package and go somewhere else and maybe try @virginmedia #ripoff

  • 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.

  • Danjsalt Dan Salt (@Danjsalt) reported

    "Hi this is Virgin media - how can I help?" "I would like to make a complaint" "What you would like to complain about?" "I would like to make a formal complaint about the handing of my formal complaint" Silence..... Utterly useless

  • retepallen Peter Allen (@retepallen) reported

    You know your broadband is terrible when logging into the router is your 4th most used website.... Constant Timing Synchronization Failures @virginmedia

  • jjsmclaughlin Jamie McLaughlin (@jjsmclaughlin) reported

    @YNWA__1965 @Yazzy_321 @virginmedia I had to go through a lot to debug our home WiFi when lockdown started. The problem turned out to be a Roku dongle remote. It's worth debugging this stuff, if it is a WiFi problem. Trial and error will work eventually.

  • JamesMorley92 James Russell-Morley (@JamesMorley92) reported

    @virginmedia £240 for being forced to cancel because you can’t offer us a service in our new home is absolutely absurd. We aren’t happy about it. We are long-standing customers and want to know what you are going to do about. To be honest I’m shocked how unhelpful you’re being.

  • takethatfan1978 takethatfan1978 (⫩) (@takethatfan1978) reported

    @virginmedia Very poor service! Just received an email with resolution which is what I have complained about!!!! It’s clear my complaint has not been looked at!!

  • HarryStani Harry Staniforth (@HarryStani) reported

    @virginmedia 4) The system you have that doesn’t allow representatives to send simple emails or access account information makes the whole customer experience incredibly poor - we want one point of contact and confidence that the person we speak to has the ability to solve issues. Sort it out

  • jjsmclaughlin Jamie McLaughlin (@jjsmclaughlin) reported

    @YNWA__1965 @Yazzy_321 @virginmedia Of course, if your actual internet connection is broken there's nothing you can do. Virgin have a lot of problems. I'm no business analyst but I would guess they chuck as many people on their network as it can possibly stand and spend the bare minimum on maintenance.

  • BenBryanH Ben (@BenBryanH) reported

    @virginmedia I've had an email to say the problem is fixed but I still don't have internet access

  • dogo_uk Darren Doggett (@dogo_uk) reported

    According to my latest speed tests dogo's House is getting 180.29 Mbps down and 20.88 Mbs up, thanks to #virginmedia

  • AlfR_SW6 CFC_SW6 (@AlfR_SW6) reported

    Yet again virgin media is down, how can a multi million pound company have such bad internet
